The expert's opinion

The sailing courses will be tailored for beginners. You will learn the basics of sailing and how to navigate.

Guided by the crew of the Neire Maove, or the black seagull in French, you will have the opportunity to test, in turn, several positions on board according to your level and also your desires.

A truly authentic experience, the boat is a designated Heritage Vessel. In fact, this boat is a replica of an old Anglo-Norman fishing boat from 1850 named Lilian. As such, you'll learn to steer the old-fashioned way, while also having access to modern navigation instruments.


Regarding yoga, depending on the date chosen, your instructor will be either Aude or Didier. They both regularly adapt their sessions to the group's level and their own preferences. Even complete beginners are welcome!


For those more experienced in yoga or sailing, simply let your teacher or the experienced crew know so that you can get more in-depth advice tailored to your level.

A few words about Aude:


Originally from Lorient in Brittany, Aude has always had a love for boats and the ocean. Her parents took her sailing from a very young age. On the water, she feels

fully alive, both grounded in her body and in harmony with the elements.


When she discovered yoga in 2012, she found a practice that provided her with both physical pleasure and genuine inner peace, and rediscovered sensations similar to

those of a sea voyage. Since then, the practice of yoga has been synonymous with travel for her. It has taken her far, both internally and across the world. First towards herself, discovering her energies and her breath… then towards others, traveling through different countries, notably India and Bali, where she deepened her understanding of yoga styles, their history and their philosophy.


She practices a lot, with highly knowledgeable teachers. Initially traditional yogas (Hatha, Ashtanga) then more modern forms like Bikram, Yin, and aerial yoga.

or Vinyasa.

  1. Yoga and sailing

Yoga and sailing complement each other perfectly, offering a deep connection to oneself and to nature, while developing presence, concentration, and balance (on the boat as well as on the water).

Embark on board the Neire Mâove (the black gull in Norman dialect), a 5-sail schooner, labeled a Heritage Interest Boat in 2015, for a unique experience! Known in French as Mouette Noire, this old rigging from the 1990s offers tourist excursions to the Channel Islands such as Jersey and Guernsey.

This boat is a replica of a Channel Islands fishing vessel , built in 1850 and named Lilian. Built at the initiative of the "Vieux Gréements en Côte des Iles" association, it was redesigned by Jersey naval architect Alain Buchanan. Construction began in 1991 at the port of Barneville-Carteret, and the vessel was launched on July 4, 1992. It is a boat suited to the open sea, but also to beaching in the ports and harbors of the Normandy coast.
