They have already experienced the adventure

AND NOW TELL YOU THEIR STORY

Each blue water cruising story reveals different motivations: to discover the world, to meet others, to live intensely with one’s family, to reconnect with nature, to confront the elements, to live in a peaceful space-time, to enjoy life simply…

Each story has its own course and its own rhythm: setting out for months, a year, a lifetime, to go around the world, to visit the Far North, to go home between seasons.

Blue water cruising is a project that we dream of, that we prepare for, and that we remember.

The visible happiness of those who have taken the plunge and who realised their dream is an incentive to act and to find answers to our uncertainties.

Our ambition is to accompany you, in the design and in the accomplishment of your project. So that you can finally see the world according to your desires… and that your adventure will come and enrich these pages!
