We had the most amazing day on Jean-Philippe’s boat! We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and they had a blast jumping off the boat, swimming, paddle boarding, etc. The captains were both great and we would definitely book with them again.

We chartered this yacht for half a day for 5 people, it exceeded our expectations! The communication from the skippers was incredible, they were very helpful and attentive, always willing to answer any questions we had. The skipper took us to a few different places to swim and sightsee and was incredibly knowledgeable about the surroundings, telling us interesting facts and lovely places to eat, as well as must-sees whilst in the area. The yacht was a great size, especially for the 5 of us, with all the amenities you could wish for on-board! I would 100000% recommend this yacht for charter, Frank and his team are so lovely and make sure you get the most for your money! Thanks for an amazing experience, we’ll be back!
