Thibault is super nice. His boat is the perfect boat for exploring the lake. It’s a bit old but well functioning, you don’t need anything else, nice size as well, we were 6 and very comfortable.
Great communication with Thibault, very responsive and accommodating. Very nice boat. However, 2 days of calm on the lake, but that's the game!
Our stay on Anegada went really well, the ad is consistent, Thibault is very friendly, accommodating and honest. The communication was fluid, I recommend without hesitation. Good luck to all!
A great boat and a top landlord. Thibault is a real sailor with a passion and the boat is an old lady, but she is in great shape and really fun. He explained everything to us really well and it was very uncomplicated. I can absolutely recommend both the boat and Thibault as the landlord!
We spent a magnificent weekend aboard the Folie-douce despite the changeable weather. Thibault was welcoming, clear on the explanations of the boat and available. To do again!
Very warm welcome, boat pleasant to maneuver and spacious. Be careful to equip yourself with a navigation app, the on-board instruments are limited. Very well located location and port, magnificent views as soon as you go out. We will come back with pleasure!
Thibault is really very nice, accommodating, available and smiling, in short a nice person with whom it is highly recommended to rent. He took the time to show us around his boat and show us how to facilitate our departure and arrival maneuvers. The boat is comfortable, we slept on it for 3 days and 2 nights, being between 3 and 4 people and sailing with 5. It is very well equipped. Despite all the positives of Folie Douce, there are still quite a few little things to do on it which Thibault is gradually taking care of, we will note the absence of piano (just the balancine), no reefing possible yet on the mainsail ( which is brand new, which is appreciable), a mainsail trolley which is difficult to adjust and the absence of Spinnaker. Finally, be careful with the methylated spirit stove on the stove, don't forget to open the grills before putting the alcohol in because otherwise you will find yourself having flames that are difficult to put out. Despite these small "flaws", I recommend renting Folie Douce especially for 1 or more days for a walk on the lake.
Great weekend on board the boat. Clear announcement and perfect explanations from Thibault. The boat is comfortable and has everything you need to spend a weekend. The engine works very well and port with sanitary facilities very well. I recommend without hesitation.
The discovery of Lake Geneva with Folie Douce was magnificent. Folie Douce is a few years old and Thibault is in the process of giving it a second life, but all this is well explained in the rental description. A very nice surprise is Thibault's attention to all the little details of life on this boat. Excellent contacts and responsiveness too. A beautiful rental so that we would like to do it again!
Great day aboard Thibault's boat, which is very nice, small problem all the same, gentlemen beware, Thibault has conquered the hearts of all the ladies of the port ?
Thanks to Thibault who welcomed us with great sympathy to entrust us with his sailboat which is perfect for visiting Lake Geneva. The sailboat is very spacious and well prepared for navigation and life on board. Thibaut was very clear and precise about the maneuvers and subtleties of his boat before handing it over, which very quickly builds confidence. Thank you again for this weekend spent on board and see you soon. :-)
The boat is not very young and in the process of being renovated, but largely usable and all the comforts are present on board, which enabled us to spend a very pleasant week on board with our two children. The welcome is very warm, Thibault helped us out within the hour when we encountered a difficulty. Thank you for everything !
Super boat perfectly suited to cruising on the lake. This boat works very well, in line with the announcement, no bad surprise! Thibault loves his boat very much, maintains it and brings it to life little by little. He is also very available and gives good advice! THANKS !
Thibault is very outgoing and attentive. He is also good advice. The boat conforms to the description. She is really very good, despite her aging rig (but that's explicit in the ad). We had a great week on the lake. I highly recommend this rental!
Perfect boat for sailing on the lake. Very warm welcome from Thibaut. We spent 2 days of navigation really very pleasant!
Rental without any problem, very nice weekend in Evian and on Lake Geneva
Thibault was very accommodating on the boat recovery times. It's a real plus. Pleasant relationship of trust and sympathy. The boat did the job, in line with the announcement!
No hassle and accommodating
Thibault is a pleasant person. We had booked for the day, it was a treat despite a capricious wind. The sailing spirit was there. The navigation equipment deserves a facelift, but that's not blocking. We are considering a new rental with this boat
Everything went very well. Very friendly and available person.
Thibault is very pleasant and accommodating. His boat is very old and deserves a renovation effort (sails, ropes, fittings, interior comfort...). That said, its engine runs well, the berth is comfortable and it allowed us to navigate the whole lake for a week; it was essential for us that this beautiful discovery of Lake Geneva.
Thibault has a very nice boat, comfortable, and safe. A big thank you for the welcome, jovial and frank, a real pleasure. See you soon Thib! Fred
Nice place And Thibault is very nice. The boat is comfortable. Too bad the wind was not there.
Very pleasant, easy and efficient contact. The boat requires maintenance but it was clear when booking the rental so nothing to complain about. The boat sails very well and is fully functional.
Great day on Thibault's sailboat. Welcome and explanations at the top. Very pleasant sailboat for family sailing, there is everything you need on board. I recommend this boat and we will come back to sail with it on Lake Geneva! Thank you Thibault
