For about a decade now, I have been renting from Sailoé (Lorient and Seychelles) on various types of vessels for several weeks each year: Archambault, Pogo, Oléa, First 31.7 to 45, Lagoon, and more. Stéphane and his team are sailing enthusiasts, whether it's racing or cruising. We have learned a great deal from them, never hesitating to seek advice on various aspects such as adjustments, safety, navigation, anchoring, weather, and more. Our conversations are always empathetic, free from judgment.

Regarding their fleet, we have never encountered any issues: the boats are exceptionally clean and technically flawless. I recommend Sailoé to all my acquaintances with full confidence. Stéphane offers numerous solutions even in the event of last-minute changes. Looking forward to next Friday! 😉

A wonderful and trustful experience with Alex, our skipper, and Natacha, our hostess. The boat is very well-equipped and comfortable with private spaces for everyone. We had some issues with the toilet that were resolved by Alex and Natacha. A true Corsican culinary discovery with Alex's dishes... A delight... Thank you.

A welcome that always lives up to my expectations. Rigorous and invested people.

How to start from almost nothing to create a boat capable of circumnavigating the globe? This is the challenge ACV took on to refurbish this Lagoon 380, which was thoroughly scavenged in the Caribbean and completely renovated in Lorient. The negotiations began six months before the final brushstroke, and they progressed smoothly, solving any potential problems as they arose. The team's responsiveness was never compromised, even when non-fatal breakdowns occurred at various stages. After eighteen months and 15,000 nautical miles between Le Crouesty and Nouméa, CAROLIGUI is in excellent condition and eagerly impatient to set sail again, despite the challenges posed by Mr. COVID.

Return of rental: Princess Valerie (pogo 850) - end of March 2012.
The ACV team managed our file with great precision, listening and efficiency. Their availability (tel,mail) and their commercial sense have been flawless.
On D-Day, we took charge of a very clean boat, satisfactorily equipped and above all... in perfect working order at all levels, especially on deck (deck fittings and sails).
To conclude, one rarely leaves a yacht charter with so much satisfaction. Thank you and see you soon.

Charming starting point (Bonifacio) and exquisite daily destinations, all made possible by the great professionalism of our skipper, Benjamin. Everything was perfectly supervised and organized from the initial phone contact, where advice and recommendations were given, to the excellent navigation that allowed us to fully enjoy this wonderful boat.

Unforgettable
The experience of these 3 days and 3 nights will forever remain one of the best moments of our lives. The kindness of Derek, the skipper, his way of sharing his love for the Seychelles, the gargantuan meals he prepared for us with so much pleasure and imagination. All the moments spent on board, the excursions, there is nothing to throw away.
Derek, THE BEST! :-)
Thanks again for everything.
Carine, Daniel and Sasha

Great family stay in the Seychelles
Cruise with skipper-cook with 4 people on a Lagoon 380 . A very pleasant stay thanks to the skipper-cook who not only made us discover his country but also the best dishes of the Seychelles.
A delight!

As part of our family's long cruise project, we allowed ourselves to be guided, advised, and trained by the ACV team. We set sail in 2018 with a new Lagoon 42 purchased through leasing. Throughout our adventure, they were always responsive to our after-sales requests (which were few in reality). With our journey concluded by the end of 2020, they are still by our side for the delivery and resale of the boat.- Alice and Sébastien.

Friendly and competent team, listening to customers for high-performance and/or comfortable yachts, in all cases in good condition ... To go far or not far, as you wish.
I've left four times with their JPK 9.6 and A 35 for Scilly or Cornwall and I've never been disappointed...it's not that frequent to be reported...

What a wonderful cruise to the Lavezzi Islands! It was our first experience on the water, and our skipper managed to create a memorable journey for us. Right from the start, we were impressed by their knowledge of the region and their passion for sailing. They guided us through the crystal-clear waters, introducing us to secluded coves and heavenly beaches.

The skipper also excelled as a tour guide, sharing fascinating anecdotes about the Lavezzi Islands and the surroundings. Thanks to them, we were able to explore beautiful, off-the-beaten-path spots, creating unique memories.

Beyond their navigation skills, the skipper ensured our comfort was a top priority. They made sure the boat was well-equipped and maintained, taking care to address our needs and provide an enjoyable onboard experience.

This cruise to the Lavezzi Islands will forever be etched in our memories as an exceptional experience. We're grateful to our skipper for making this journey so special and for giving us a perfect introduction to sailing on the sea.

Deciding to address a professional hirer is above all the choice of service. It is certainly more expensive (and even more so) than renting a boat from a private individual on the internet, but it is without comparison:
Above all because the sea is a land of adventure and not of consumption, the insurance of a boat in perfect condition and therefore a guarantee of security that your family and friends deserve.
Then the advice, on the choice of boat, the navigation program, the way to gybe with a double sheet spinnaker, double arm... A professional has necessarily an experience and a pedagogy at the best level.
I've been renting for all this for many years with you. I find year after year and with the same pleasure the smile of Stéphane, Quentin and the others. I thank them very warmly.
