Thank you so much, Maxime! We really had such a wonderful evening. It was a very special way to celebrate Vincent’s 50th, and we all enjoyed the experience so much. The food was delicious — even with the Swiss baguettes! 😂 And for me, it was really exciting to see and understand a little better how the sails actually work.

Other than that, it was a truly special moment, in great company, surrounded by magnificent natural scenery that we already knew, but had mostly only ever seen from the shore... Thank you again so much 😊

The moment we shared was very special, as it was the children’s and my first time sailing, and Olivier’s first time back on a sailboat after many years.It was a simple, effortless and authentic experience. The beauty of the night, gliding peacefully across the water… it felt like a magical moment suspended in time, one we will never forget.

A fantastic cruise in a small, intimate group. Watching the sunset over Lake Geneva from the secret beach was absolutely incredible. Maxime takes great care of you and makes sure you have a wonderful time, with swimming, sailing and a delicious aperitif!

The sunset aperitif was simply magical. Between the golden colours of the sky, the calm waters of the lake, and the atmosphere on board, you completely lose track of time.

You immediately realise this is far more than just a boat trip. The silence, the wind filling the sails, and the gentle heel of the boat create an authentic sailing experience and a genuine connection with Lake Geneva.
