Description of Gilles's sailboat
Wauquiez - Pilot Saloon 43 | 4 People
Hello and welcome to the Var! Treat yourself to an unforgettable day aboard this pretty 13m30 sailboat, very comfortable, perfectly equipped and maintained. You will be welcomed by Gilles the captain, and Claudie his wife, around a welcome cocktail. Available at Saint-Pierre port, free parking. Day outing, by co-navigation. You will be able, while enjoying a special moment with friends or family, to discover one of the most beautiful coasts of the Mediterranean. Heading for the islands of Porquerolles, Port Cros, Fort de Bregançon, and beaches that have nothing to envy of the Caribbean. If you wish, we can offer you navigation routes, but you are of course free to define this as you wish, depending on the weather, and within consistent distance measurements. You will choose to be contemplative passengers, or, on the contrary, to participate in navigation and anchoring maneuvers, thus benefiting from learning the basics of navigation. At anchor, you will have access to a paddle, and an annex with an outboard engine, piloted by the captain, allowing you to reach the shore. For health reasons, we recommend that you bring your own Snorkeling equipment (fins, mask, snorkel). For more details, additional information or anything else, do not hesitate to contact us via the platform's private messaging service Click&Boat, we will be happy to inform you/guide you in your choice. See you soon, Gilles & Claudie

If you want to spend an unforgettable day, choose a day spent with Gilles and Claudie. This day was my birthday present. I spent it with my wife and son. Having sailed dinghies in my youth, I wanted to experience the same sensations: sailing at all speeds, tacking, gybing... My expectations were quite "technical." In fact, the opposite happened. Gilles and Claudie have wonderful human qualities, listening skills, and sharing. They had a lot to tell us about their seven years spent in the Atlantic. They showed great attention to their hosts for the day: welcome punch, surprise birthday cake with a personalized song, etc. We were able to snorkel, steer, and more. Naturally, we quickly became friends and chatted a lot, and had a lot of laughs too. The boat is very well equipped and in impeccable condition. We sailed back from Porquerolles quietly, chatting like friends. No time constraints. All we could hear was the lapping of the water. Blue sky, perfect temperature, a gentle sea breeze, no one around us, the magnificent setting, almost alone on the sea under a setting sun... MAGICAL! Come spend a day with Gilles and Claudie: you'll definitely leave enchanted!
A great time with Gilles and his wife Claudy, a warm welcome (plus a punch ?) Available and a short story on navigation. A thank you to both of you. Looking forward to doing it again.
Thanks to Gilles and Claudie, a very nice day spent on this magnificent sailboat. Our hosts were very friendly and shared with us their adventures across the Atlantic. Excellent time around Porquerol with a very good aperitif concocted by Gilles whose humor we will not forget ?. Kisses to both of you
The four of us had an unforgettable day of sailing on board the Stella Maris - sun, sea, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, aperitif - everything was perfect with Gilles, who was always attentive, friendly and competent. Snorkeling at the Plage de la Courtade, recharging our batteries with an aperitif under the sunshade, sunbathing on deck, circumnavigating Porquerolles to the south under sail, stand-up paddling at the Plage de la Badine in front of Giens - and in between, time to dream and discuss things in German, French and English. Unreserved applause and recommendation - thank you Gilles and see you in the Parc National de Port Cros.
A great day spent with family on board. A very warm welcome from our captain who was able to introduce us to some notions of navigation, in theory and in practice, while ensuring good moments of relaxation at anchor on Porquerolles. Good humor, sun, wind, aperitif and even dolphins, the hardest part was undoubtedly putting an end to this very pleasant moment of sharing. If the mistral pushes us towards the shores of Hyères again, we will happily re-embark!
Excellent skipper and a very well maintained and functional boat. I recommend the walk with Gilles with whom you will have a great time.
The contact with Gilles was impeccable. He came to pick us up with his dinghy and then he took us towards Porquerolles, but we could choose where to go. The welcome was warm, and Gilles is full of knowledge about sailing in the region and around the world. We had an unforgettable day thanks to Gilles. Many thanks again!
