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! 😉

We had a wonderful time, and the captain and cook supplied made it even better. They understood our desire for beach time, snorkeling time and sailing time and were amazingly able to help us optimize our time.

Before the trip, we had trouble arranging some of the details via email (we do these trips twice/year and like to have things settled) . Once we arrived, the renter jumped right into action and everything was wonderful, proving that their approach of "we'll worry about it later" works just fine for them, even if it wasn't great for us beforehand.

The boat was in great condition and the entire trip was wonderful. I would highly recommend the Seychelles, especially the turtle park and the islands up in the northern part of the cluster.

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.

Very good experience with Sailoé, our rental of the Lagoon 42 was perfect for 8 people, very well-equipped (multiple refrigerators + 1 freezer), clean, and comfortable. Nothing to complain about except for a minor battery issue that did not disrupt our cruise at all. I highly recommend this friendly team and will happily sail with them again.

It's my first rental. And it won't be my last.
All the preparation for the outing (Ascension 2012 on 4 days) was managed quietly, the exchanges by email or telephone allowed us to be ready to board.
Handling without worries, efficient (replacement of winch cranks a little worn. Assistance in reassembling the lazy-jack ;-).
The boat, the A40: what happiness. Surfing at over 18 knots, less than three hours between Concarneau and Port-Tudy. Sails that can be shaped as you wish. A vast cockpit ideal for manoeuvring. State-of-the-art tactical equipment.
After two days, we find that it is not "Spartan" enough. We can still lighten her up a bit.
That's it, I still have to get back in shape to leave with, or with another.
Thanks to the whole team!

A professional team, helpful, attentive to customers. A very well-equipped catamaran suitable for our coastal cruise in southern Corsica. The skipper was truly excellent and went above and beyond what was expected. A big congratulations and thank you to Sailoé for our successful vacation.

It was far not the first experience of charter bareboat for me, but it was one of the few times when I can't say anything negative about charter company. Initially we booked Lagoon 38 of 2016, but ~ 1 week before our charter we were upgraded to Lagoon 42 of 2017 absolutely for free. Guess it was something wrong with the first one, but anyway. So I would say it was as good charter experience as it could be. Catamaran itself was absolutely fine, we hadn't any problems with it, passed check in and check out smoothly and quickly.
The only advice I would give to potential clients - don't count on snorkeling masks and paddles that are included - much better to take yours with you.

Swimming with dolphins at Grande Anse. Adorable crew (skipper Dany and hostess Nadège) who were extremely tactful and always wanted to please us, both in their choice of anchorages and in the way they adapted the cuisine to our tastes. They both contributed to the success of our holiday and we thank them warmly for that.

A few words to finally express our complete satisfaction after 3 rentals with ACV. The boats (Lagoon 380, 410, 450s) were always top-notch, and the team is truly competent and attentive. Thank you all, and hopefully, see you in 2021!

We had a fantastic week aboard the Lagoon 38 with our group of 9 people. Renting the boat through Sailoé was a wonderful experience. The Sailoé team was understanding and welcoming from our very first meeting.

Right from the start, they took the time to explain the rental details and answer all of our questions. The booking process was straightforward and transparent, giving us great confidence in our choice.

When we stepped aboard the Lagoon 38, we were impressed by the impeccable condition of the boat. It was well-maintained, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for our journey.

The Sailoé team provided us with detailed information about navigating the region and recommended routes and places to visit. Their knowledge of the sailing area allowed us to discover beautiful spots and secluded coves, far from the beaten path.

Throughout the entirety of our rental period, the Sailoé team was available to address our needs and assist us in case of any issues. Their professionalism and responsiveness added to the overall enjoyment of our experience.

In summary, our week of renting the Lagoon 38 with Sailoé was an exceptional experience. We highly recommend their service to anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful cruise with an attentive and warm team.

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.
