I had a wonderful time on the Basile sailboat. I had no sailing experience whatsoever. I learned nautical knots, how to tack, how to steer the boat, and more. Thank you to the skippers, Iris and Mathieu, for their kindness, patience, and for sharing their knowledge. There was also a great atmosphere among the crew. I highly recommend this trip.

It was at the dock in the port of Brest that we met Iris and Mathieu, as well as the other crew members, before setting off for a few days aboard the Basile! It was on this beautiful, history-laden schooner that we embarked on an adventure in the Iroise Sea! We sailed with the winds, currents, and tides, guided by the expert advice of our two captains, who ensured everyone participated in the sailing and found their place on board! Each day we discovered beautiful places, sailing from island to port, and we took advantage of our stopovers to visit charming little coastal villages and beautiful beaches where the water refreshed us. In short, it was a wonderful, albeit too short, trip where we were able to experience sailing in northern Brittany with a fantastic team! A big thank you to Iris and Mathieu for all their wonderful qualities, and see you very soon for new adventures on the Basile! Fair winds!

An unforgettable first sailing experience aboard the ***! A top-notch sailing course from start to finish.

We had five incredible days aboard the ***, as part of a trip organized by Decathlon Travel. Iris and Matthieu are highly professional, passionate, and incredibly dedicated skippers. Throughout the trip, they were truly eager to share their world and ensure we had a wonderful experience. Everything was very well organized and meticulously planned. But beyond the sailing itself, it's the atmosphere on board that I'll remember most: a real sense of camaraderie, truly beautiful moments, lots of laughter, and memories I won't soon forget. It's honestly one of the best experiences I've ever had. 💙 I wouldn't hesitate to come back and spend another week aboard Basile with Iris and Matthieu. Thank you to them for these five incredible days. ⛵️✨
