Four days aboard a very well-equipped Sun Odyssey 40, four timeless days with Alex and Léon. He's adaptable, everyone learns at their own pace. The group worked very well together, a fantastic atmosphere! We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

A truly wonderful experience living on a racing yacht and sailing around the world independently with a highly skilled and experienced skipper. It offers both athletic progression in sailing and relaxation in a perfect setting: the Îles d'Or (Golden Islands). Sailing as part of a team is a valuable and demanding learning experience. This experience allows us the freedom to practice in a safe environment.

Two intensive and highly educational courses thanks to Alex and his boat. Alex is dynamic, very competent, and a great teacher. He listens to his trainees and patiently repeats himself. I highly recommend Alex for his qualities, his warm welcome aboard his boat, and his empathy. A truly wonderful person who created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the courses.

I was lucky enough to do the 4-day sailing course with Alex, and honestly, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From our very first interactions, everything flowed smoothly and reassuringly. Once there, I particularly appreciated the balance between learning, practical application, and sharing moments. Time just flew by! Alex has a real knack for adapting to the group, making everyone feel comfortable, and sharing his passion with great teaching skills. Even starting with a near-beginner level, you learn a tremendous amount without ever feeling overwhelmed. Beyond sailing, it's also a true escape: you completely disconnect from daily life, you enjoy yourself, and you share simple yet memorable moments. I 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to learn, have a wonderful human experience, and get away for a few days. And quite frankly, if I had the chance to do it again… I'd sign up immediately without hesitation!

I participated in the 4-day sailing course and I really wanted to thank Alex for this superb experience. We learned so much thanks to his teaching style: he explains things clearly, trusts us, and lets us practice, which really builds confidence. You can tell he's passionate about sharing his love of sailing. The atmosphere on board is fantastic and the boat is very well maintained. Thanks again, Alex, for your kindness and everything you've given us!
