Guest Reviews

What guests say after a day on the water

A sample of feedback shared with us by past charter guests.

★★★★★

We took the Zodiac RIB out for the afternoon with no boating licence — the check-in briefing was thorough and the crew were patient with our kids. Calm water, easy handling, would rent again.

★★★★★

Booked the Lagoon catamaran for a 40th birthday. The skipper adjusted the route around the wind without being asked and the boat was spotless. Worth the price for a group of ten.

★★★★☆

Good value on the Riva launch and easy online booking. Only note is the marina parking fills up fast on weekends, so we now arrive earlier.

FAQ

Questions we hear most often

Fuel for a standard route, safety equipment, basic insurance and a briefing are included on every boat. Skippered vessels include the skipper's fee; bareboat rentals require a valid boating licence for engines above the unlicensed threshold. Extra fuel beyond the standard range, catering and tips are billed separately and shown before you confirm.

If our skipper or the harbour master calls off a departure for safety reasons, you can rebook free of charge for another date within 12 months, or receive a full refund to your original payment method. This decision is made on the morning of departure using the official Météo-France marine forecast.

Boats marked "No licence req." can be driven without a permit under French law, within daylight coastal limits and subject to a short briefing. Larger bareboat vessels require a valid "Permis mer côtier" or equivalent, which we verify at check-in. Skippered charters never require a personal licence.

Bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before departure. Consumers booking from home also benefit from a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU distance-selling rules, except where the charter date falls inside that 14-day window and you have asked us to begin the service sooner. Full terms are in our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

Yes. A refundable damage deposit (€300–€1,500 depending on the boat) is pre-authorised on a credit card at check-in and released within 5 business days after the boat is returned undamaged and refuelled.
