Patricia & Vincent Ory
We had an excellent week both on board and ashore(wonderful Cyclades!). Indeed, Raphaël is a competent and caring skipper who accompanied our group with humor, warmth and pedagogy. We made great progress and rediscovered our love of sailing.
To be tried without moderation

First visit to Greece and first experience of sailing! We couldn't have come across a better choice than Raphaël, who made our trip an extraordinary adventure! We were able to experience the real thrill of sailing while benefiting from his advice on discovering the Cyclades off the beaten track, with the added bonus of his natural good humor! Last but not least, we highly recommend this active cruise! We're seriously thinking of repeating the experience, hopefully in Raphaël 's expert hands! Many thanks!
Monique Chapoto & Mohamed Benchadli
Even though we're an older couple with no sailing experience. Raphaël did a great job of putting us at ease, explaining everything to us with patience and good humor. The week went wonderfully well. We particularly appreciated the precision with which Raphaël plays with the wind and the sails, and his dexterity in slipping into a berth even in tricky conditions. In short, an exceptional skipper. Godspeed, Raphaël.

I really enjoyed discovering the scenery of the Greek islands by boat! I really enjoyed taking part in the navigation, which was great. Like Mom, your complicity was great to see, and the one you had with us made our stay even better!
Personally, I didn't mind being only with my mother on the boat, on the contrary, I would have been less at ease...
Of course it would be a pleasure to come back and see you again!
Here's a big kiss to me too I hope to see you soon!!! 😁😁

First of all, it was my first time in Greece, and I hope to repeat the experience 😉 it was a magical, timeless week, albeit too short. Great encounters, with holidaymakers and skippers alike. Raphael and Étienne were wonderful, always ready to listen and available, and your complicity was a pleasure to see! I had come with the idea of seeing Santorini, and in the end I don't regret at all our trip to the smaller, more secret islands and our Robinson crusoe-style evenings.
Greek cuisine was also a great discovery (I had in mind Greek-style mushrooms, which I'm not a fan of). Finally, I think that sailing also enabled us to bond more closely, as we were together 24 hours a day and formed a cocoon for a week. It's a good thing we got along so well! All in all, I'll be back without hesitation, and if it could be with you 2 comm skippers, that would be great 👍 Love to you both, and take good care of yourselves 🥰
Roussé Hélène
A great experience! To begin with, we were totally disconnected, thanks to Raph, who listened to us all and shared life on board with us right from the start! Then there was the great atmosphere, moments engraved in our hearts, and the pleasure of meeting Etienne again at the campfire! Raph and Etienne 's great human qualities played a big part in the success of the trip! A moment engraved in our hearts!
Finally, we'll be back with great pleasure! A wonderful time of sharing! An unforgettable experience! Special mention to Raph, who set the tone for this exceptional week for all passengers! Thank you so much!

On the one hand, we loved our week's cruise in the Cyclades. We discovered the sailboat and now we just want to go back. Raphaël is a very good and experienced skipper, and by involving us he taught us the basics of sailing very well. The only point to improve would be the equipment, as we didn't have any functional dinghies, so Raphaël had to make up for this shortcoming by choosing the locations for our stay. That said, we have excellent memories of this week. The atmosphere on board was excellent.
Christelle Chirpaz
My husband and I had a really wonderful active cruise...it was a first...the skipper listened to us and vice versa...very good relationship between him and the crew...
Gimeno François
The skipper perfectly adapted the cruise to the temperament of the group in a very friendly atmosphere. Perfect balance between professionalism and joviality. Just perfect!
Jean-Paul Tafani
For a first time on a sailboat, it was very good. The skipper was very attentive and very educational.
Corinne
An unforgettable first sailing cruise in the Cyclades!
Camille Le Belge
First of all, it was an extraordinary adventure! Exploring the Cyclades aboard a sailboat was an unforgettable experience. Under the benevolent guidance of our Skipper Raphael, every moment was marked by safety and serenity. Life at sea and the first steps into the world of sailing added a unique dimension to this trip. A breathtaking experience that I'll cherish for a long time to come!
Laura Hizen
A great first for me! Discovering life on a boat, the Cyclades and sailing! Our skipper Raphael did everything to make us feel safe and at ease. An unforgettable memory, as much for the discovery of the Cyclades as for the introduction to sailing. All in all, it was one of my best trips ever.
Bruno
This active Cyclades cruise was a great way to combine business with pleasure:
First of all, to discover all the maneuvers required on a cruising sailboat. Our skipper Raphaël was a great teacher, and showed great patience in entrusting us with different positions on board, while at the same time giving us a sense of responsibility - he's a real enthusiast!
Secondly, the Cyclades are a magical place to sail, with wind and sun, warm turquoise seas for swimming (even in October), charming harbors and beaches accessible only by boat,
In short, this cruise was fabulous.
Many thanks again to Raphaël and Etienne (skipper of the sailboat with whom we shared the itinerary), who also gave me great advice and was able to validate levels on my FFV logbook 😉
