About the experience

Hello,

I am offering my Gib Sea 472 sailboat for charter to explore the islands of Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the wider Var coastline.

I will be your captain during your time on board and would be delighted to introduce you to the basics of sailing or share a sailing experience with experienced crew members.

This sailboat has 5 cabins, including 3 double cabins. It offers all the comforts such a vessel can provide (2 bathrooms, 2 toilets, fully equipped galley, etc.).
This boat is very spacious and a pleasure to sail.

I am available to answer any questions you may have about the boat or your sailing plans. You can contact me via the Click and Boat messaging system.

See you soon!

    Thank you, Michel, for this extraordinary weekend... I think I can speak for my colleagues and say it was simply amazing! I didn't look at the time once in two days... it's hard to imagine having such a good time in a life as simple as that on a boat... It's a huge learning experience. I have no doubt I'll be thinking about these moments in your company for a long time to come. Definitely one of the best weekends of my life... Thank you for your attentiveness, your expertise, and your cool attitude!! We won't forget you... See you next time, surely, my dear Captain!!

    We were with the family and had a great meeting with this sailboat which is very well maintained but especially with Michel. Its owner is extremely careful and knows very well the navigation of the golden islands. This is the 3rd time that we have rented through this site and this year will undoubtedly be our best memory thanks to Michel. The icing on the cake; 1 ice cube machine which helped to sublimate our aperitifs... In short, total happiness.
