    We had such a beautiful day on the boat with Gael! The boat was fantastic- well equipped and spacious. It had plenty of space to store and prepare our food and drinks and a great sound system to play our music. We had great communication from Gael leading up to the day, so we knew what to expect/to bring and he was very friendly and so accommodating on the day. Would highly recommend!! Thanks again 😊

    3 days on board too many for 7 including 3 children. Gael is a discreet person, with an open mind. Passionate about his job, he is a professional skipper who is attentive and listens to all his passengers. We all thank him very sincerely for these magical moments shared and wish him, as any good sailor, "fair winds" aboard the Pili Pili...

    Gael was very responsive and accommodating to our changes in schedule and plans. We were a group of 7 (4 adults and 3 children aged 10-13) and had ample space on this beautiful and clean boat. We had a wonderful day on the sea and I would highly recommend using Gael for anyone who wants a fun experience on the water from La Rochelle.
