    La vacanza ideale

    È stata un esperienza fantastica, al di là di ogni nostra aspettativa. La Crew, la Barca e gli altri ospiti, ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa. Poi al resto ci ha pensato il paesaggio mozzafiato. Da fare almeno una volta nella vita.

    Inoubliable amarrage dans les Tobago Cays, toutes les nuances de bleus sont présentes, véritable aquarium géant

    Première nuit difficile (12 heures de navigation) mais beaucoup d'attention de la part de l'équipage vraiment au top : notre hôte Christophe nous a concocté des petits plats délicieux et savoureux, toujours de bonne humeur et souriant jour après jour sachant s'adapter aux exigences de tous les passagers, notre capitaine Fred très attentif aux normes de sécurité en navigation et lors des transferts mais super-sympa lorsque le bateau était à l'amarrage (très professionnel). Un équipage très à l'écoute des passagers quelles que soient les demandes. Cabines : juste ce qu'il fallait, literie confortable, 2 jeux de serviettes (plage, douche, toilette), change de draps prévu. Bateau très bien entretenu et très fonctionnel, toute la place est optimisée. Très belle osmose entre tous les passagers venus d'horizon différent : excellente ambiance à bord

    Croisière à bord du Carriacou.

    Accueil sympathique à notre arrivée et apéro dînatoire concocté par Christophe (3 étoiles) Briefing de Frédéric, notre skipper qui nous informe notamment que la première nuit sera ‘difficile’. Et oui, en effet, il faut prévoir des anti nauséeux....... Superbe croisière. Nous avons eu la chance de se trouver exclusivement avec des français, ce qui facilite la communication. Très bonne ambiance sur le catamaran. A noter : Frédéric, super attentif à la sécurité des croisiéristes du bateau et Christophe au top pour nous cuisiner des repas de grande qualité.
