boat hire in Hyères · Wauquiez — Amphora (1978)
Description of Cécile's sailboat
Sailboat Wauquiez Amphora 11.4m
Treat yourself to an original experience with Pap's! A parenthesis in your daily life. Come and experience the sea! Enjoy a moment of relaxation and well-being at the slow and zen rhythm of the sailboat. Disconnect to better reconnect with yourself and nature. Pap's is an Amphora, a sturdy sailboat from the famous Wauquiez shipyard Built in 1978, it was completely reconditioned before our departure on the trip in 2014 and then on its return in 2020. Serial sailboat nonetheless original, it has the silhouette of a galleon. Comfortable and spacious both inside and outside for its 11.40m, you will appreciate this cozy little nest and will undoubtedly be seduced by its superb aft cabin, rare on a sailboat of this size. The forward cabin is also very nice. The interior is warm thanks to its light woodwork. The rear deck with its sun awning and wooden benches for 6 people offers space worthy of a small terrace! The ideal place on the boat to chat, have a picnic and have a drink! Guaranteed conviviality and breathtaking view while sailing! Safe, gentle in navigation, Pap's is the ideal companion for discovering life at sea, sailing, going for a coastal walk or sailing towards more distant horizons. Back on our beautiful coast after several years of long-distance sailing, "Nomads over the wind", it is this lifestyle, free and close to nature that I suggest you discover and share with you " Loulou ", my faithful and adorable four-legged companion. "Happy sobriety" on the water, a life rich in experiences and encounters. A mode of travel that has become a true philosophy of life. Come and experience the sea in a different way, adopt, for a few hours or a few days, an alternative lifestyle aboard a traveling sailboat where energy comes to us from the sun and the wind, the water from our small reservoirs. To consume with moderation ! Taste the pleasure of coming back to simple things: the smell of bread coming out of the oven, the calm of the anchorage when you wake up, the scent of pines heated by the Mediterranean sun, the song of cicadas. Dive into the clear water to meet the fish, go for a paddle board ride to start your day. Enjoy magnificent landscapes bathed in the light and the blue sky of Provence. Relax contemplating the sky before falling asleep, comfortably installed on the deck or even from your bed! Discover the coast, its beaches and coves, its turquoise waters. An authentic, unforgettable adventure to share with family or friends. Boarding from Hyères or Porquerolles (To be specified by phone or email a few days or the day before boarding).

An unforgettable day with the family Passionate skipper, very educational and very friendly who offers lots of activities and various tours to adapt to everyone's desires. Top safety and expert navigator! She is accompanied by a young adorable and wise shepherd dog. We recommend and we will surely come back!
A perfect family day. Our captain Cécile took us to magnificent spots for snorkiing, for different levels. She knows how to put children at ease, and we had a good laugh with her young boy Hozho (her dog) who created quite a funny atmosphere with his teasing side. His boat is practical for swimming, the loan of equipment (paddle, snorkel masks and fins) is really a plus. The aperitif surrounded by turquoise water, the return facing the sunset meant that the busy day ended in style. We are delighted and will come back as soon as the opportunity arises.
Surprise weekend ? organized for our daughter's 20th birthday. We met Cécile and her adorable companion Hozho. Very enriching experience on a human level. Very well appointed sailboat. Thank you for everything. We will come back with pleasure.
1st sailing experience with the children who were delighted with the ride Thank you Cécile for making us discover Porquerolles differently
We spent an extraordinary day with Cécile, her dog Loulou on her very beautiful sailboat. Cécile is a very responsive person, who communicates very well, benevolent, interesting and very pleasant, we were very well received as part of a bachelor party and we talked a lot all day. The sailboat is superb, very well maintained and with plenty of swimming accessories (including paddle). I recommend 100% and would be happy to go on a sea trip again with Cécile

Ancienne infirmière, après 14 ans de vie à bord d'un voilier dont 6 années de voyage entre Méditerranée, Caraïbes et Amérique Centrale, je suis avant tout Voyageur-marin. L'expérience de cette vie nomade, le voyage et les rencontres m'ont tellement transformée qu'il m'est apparu impossible de reprendre mon existence d'avant à mon retour en France. J'ai donc décidé de devenir skipper professionnel il y a 4 ans. La planète et l'humain ayant toujours été au coeur de mes préoccupations, l'envie de faire partager et découvrir ce mode de vie s'est vite imposée. C'est de là qu'est née l'idée " Bateau Terre Happy", des croisières bien être par la nature.
