About the experience

Welcome aboard Carpe Diem!

I invite you to join me for a sailing trip on a very comfortable 30-foot (9m) sailboat.

It's a sturdy and safe sailboat, perfect for family outings and ideal for learning to sail.

The boat is equipped with all the required safety equipment for offshore sailing.

Day trips for 1 to 6 people.

Depending on the wind, we can consider a trip to Fort Boyard or the coasts of Île d'Oléron and Île d'Aix, or perhaps pass under the bridge to Île de Ré...

According to your preferences:

At sea: the possibility of trolling, learning to sail, and experiencing the "magical" feeling of freedom that sailing offers. You can even participate in the maneuvers if you wish.

Evenings at the port: Enjoy a convivial meal in a unique setting with friends or plan a romantic surprise on board under the soft lights of the harbor and the stars! Don't hesitate to request a personalized quote.

Any questions? Feel free to contact me; I strive to respond promptly.

Looking forward to sharing my passion with you,

Yannick

    Superb day at sea with Yannick on his sailboat which is really very beautiful. We learned a lot with this enthusiast who has the time, for a day, to share his love for sailing. We were with our little girls whom he took care of. A sea bath under a blazing sun was a refreshing moment. A few fish caught as a bonus. A very very good moment and a very nice meeting. Thank you Yannick we will come back for sure. Yum don't change?

    We spent an indescribable day on Yannick's boat. The boat is perfectly equipped and well maintained. Yannick is a very experienced skipper. What was particularly exciting: we always felt like guests on board and not like customers. The day ended with a shared meal on board, during which we were able to taste the fish we had caught ourselves during the excursion. An absolutely unforgettable day! (During the excursion, we had dolphins to accompany us!!)

    it was a trip to the sea with the family. and my first sailing boat experience. Yannick was very friendly and very informative. it adapted to the speed of the needs of each one, my daughter was 12 years old and my father 72 years old. everyone was happy at the end of the day and no one got seasick. I highly recommend spending time with Yannick on his boat, he is more than a skipper. thanks to Yannick

    Wonderful ? day spent on the boat with Yannick. Very educator, he shares his knowledge with pleasure and knows his boat and the lake to perfection. The boat is very reassuring for children and very secure. Yannick is careful, reassuring and sure of himself. He is the super captain of the situation ?. The weather is very changeable but very pleasant on this very well maintained, very clean and very well equipped sailboat. We were even able to swim in front of the Ile de Ré. The dinner on board in the port was excellent. A dream day that we recommend to everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Very nice day with Yannick. Despite a start under a few drops of rain, he was able to reassure us about the arrival of good weather and was not mistaken :-) Super nice, top-notch welcome and very patient with teens ... :-) Looking forward to coming back. Thank you !
