boat hire in Nieuwpoort · Beneteau — First 31.7 (2004)

Dear friends, Alain is a very professional and experienced sailor man. He is very open minded and engaged. From the beginning with his very friendly and warm welcome, to the lessons about his impressive boat and lessons about sailing (me, I am a beginner) he does everything that you feel fine all the time. He shows you how to handle the boat, the sea and the wind, also. I enjoyed a fantastic day with Alain on his boat and do recommend him in every point.

It was a fantastic day for us. Alain guided us perfectly and gave us the opportunity to have every role on the boat. I can certainly suggest him.

Alain is a great guy! Friendly and had a great experience! We will book him again.

Alain is a great toughtful skipper. We (2 friends and myself) are learning to sail and took this opportunity for our first real practical lesson and just to have some fun. That's exactely what it turned out to be. Great mix of fun and education. We were a little concerned about a language barrier at first as our mother tongue is Dutch but we got along well in English together. Because of the high winds that day we had an early return back to the harbour, which was definately understandable and a lesson in itself. After docking we had a good mix of snacking, coffee and theory/chatting. Happy to recommend Alain and thanks again for a great day!

Professional skipper with a passion for sailing. Nice first introduction to sailing in sporty weather conditions.

Had a very pleasant sailing trip with the family. Highly recommended!

Fantastic boat trip. We learned a lot, relaxed and had fun.

We were 4 inexperienced people and had a really great day! Alain really gives a great explanation! He will take into account the customer's request! We went swimming?

Very nice boat and captain!

Perfect moment with Alain. I recommend

Alain is a great skipper and also a great teacher. His boat is also very well maintained. Beyond a super pleasant outing at sea, Alain allows us to develop our nautical knowledge and skills. We look forward to doing another outing with Alain as skipper/trainer.

Great day with Alain, who was very educational and attentive to the passengers' wishes.

Alain knows what he is doing and what's more, he is an extremely good teacher. I learned a lot. THANKS

We had a great day thanks to Alain who shared his passion and his tips with us! We recommend and already want to come back to Indigo.

Extraordinary weekend with an extraordinary teacher, a wonderful person who will teach you to love sailing and not at all stingy with advice to help you progress. Truly perfect weekend! Thank you Alain.

Superb afternoon with Alain. I recommend 200%

Alain is a very pleasant, experienced and driven skipper. He gave us a very friendly welcome and gave us a very good explanation about sailing. Very nice, sporty boat. It's a pity that we had to go back on shore earlier because some fellow travelers suffered from seasickness, because it was a super nice day at sea!

A day suspended in time... A human encounter, the passion for sailing and the sea. Thank you, thank you again Alain for accompanying me in this dream for my 33rd birthday ❤️

I can Highly recommend Alain and his boat. We enjoyed a warm welcome and a fine sailing instruction. In short, a very successful day!

Pleasant and instructive sailing trip.

Very pleasant person who knows what he is doing. Recommended! Thanks for the nice day!

We had a great day. Alain is a great enthusiast who likes to share without moderation. Very good communication, friendly and informative. A beautiful day of discovery that calls for others.

Good morning, We had a great day with Alain. We appreciated his explanations, his patience with the children who were eager for questions. Barely at the docks all the participants already wanted to leave. For my part, I appreciated that Alain let me take the helm. Indigo is a great boat. We warmly recommend.

We had an amazing time! Alain is very welcoming. He explains things very well. We really took a liking to sailing...

Alain was really a great skipper! He welcomed us very well, he was very explanatory and patient with my daughter. He has a great boat, very well equipped and maintained We are very happy with our sea trip with Alain as skipper. I hope we will have the opportunity for another sea trip with Alain

We, 2 girls and 2 dads, had a great time with Alain. It was our first sailing trip. Alain is very didactic, patient, but above all friendly. He willingly shares his knowledge and experiences. Takes into account the whole crew, it is really a TOP skipper! The boat is also very good. I highly recommend.

Alain was great from A to Z. He was attentive to our needs and very good at transmitting his passion with pedagogy and patience! Great experience :)

What about Alain, A magical moment, with a great person, pedagogue, and passionate. I will come back quickly, for you who will read me, only the meeting will give you the tone and the emotion felt. See you soon and many thanks

Superb sailing weekend from Nieuwpoort. Both for beginners and the most experienced in sailing. Alain welcomes you warmly, puts you at ease with aspects of the sea, sailing, Indigo... and the vagaries of the weather. Do it again as soon as possible!

Sympathetic and skilled skipper, gives the necessary explanation.

Benevolence, sharing and warmth are the watchwords of this experienced skipper. Good mood, smile and exchange will be at the rendezvous of your future outing with Alain. I highly recommend him and will call on him again in the future. Take full advantage of this outing, he will do everything to ensure that you spend the most beautiful day at sea.

Alain is a pleasant person, explains everything well and ensures that everything runs smoothly in all circumstances.

Amazing experience! Alain is a very friendly skipper, who puts people who have never sailed at ease and is happy to explain things to those who want to learn. The boat is well maintained and comfortable. Recommended!

Alain is a super nice person and he enjoys learning about his passion. He adapts to people who book his boat so that they have a good time. Personally we were 4 with our 2 children and it was perfect... Thank you again Alain! I recommend the experience!

Very pleasant, warm person. The weather was just a little less warm, so some magic is lost. Despite this we really like it, once at 25 degrees and sunset would be great.

We were delighted with this day in the company of Alain, very friendly and pedagogue. His sailboat is well maintained, very pleasant in navigation. Ideal for enjoying a session in complete relaxation!

Alain is a good teacher and passionate about sailing. For a short getaway or sailing training you can trust her. Thank you Alan

Simply excellent. A great day at sea.

We had a beautiful, instructive sailing day. Alain is a friendly and skilled skipper who has honed our sailing skills. We will definitely come back again.??

Good captain and very social man. He makes the whole trip an instructive and pleasant day. Thank you

Amazing day! Experience sharing at the top! Alain likes to share his passion and is very patient and attentive! it was a pleasure to rediscover the boat for me and to introduce my family! My 6 and 8 year old daughters enjoyed discovering this universe! Great experience! We will start again! Thanks again Alan!

We spent three fabulous days with the family aboard Indigo, the boat is well equipped and very pleasant to sail. In addition to being a super nice person, Alain is a real sailing enthusiast whose experience and wise advice have been very valuable to us to progress in navigation. Thank you again for this great experience!!!

Great outing at sea with friends with Alain! Alain is really very nice and puts you at ease, we really had a great day. I recommend with eyes closed!

Thank you for this beautiful day in the North Sea ☀️⛵

We had a great day with Alain on the boat. He was very nice and patient explaining everything and making sure we were all okay despite some choppy waves along the way. My husband enjoyed learning to sail. We will surely contact Alain again for another trip. Thank you so much!

Very pleasant family day. Alain took the time to give the necessary explanations so that everyone felt comfortable, which was the case despite the conditions.

Great stay. Alain is an outstanding captain! The whole family appreciated his explanations, his patience and his confidence. We loved taking part in this adventure on its first, from the preparation to the navigation. A return to more than 6 knots upwind that we will not forget! An experience to relive without hesitation!

Magnificent day!! Alain is a great skipper - didactic and cool, very friendly. This outing at sea was truly extraordinary…

Alain is a fantastic host and excellent skipper I was on board for a day together with Ina and Wout (13 and 12 y) Brilliant experience and great fun recommended!

Great experience, very nice owner, good support, lots of explanation for a better understanding of sailboat navigation. To do and redo....

Very good experience, Alain is great and passes on his knowledge with professionalism. We had a great time sailing! Thank you so much !

Thank you for the wonderful experience Alain! Passionate Explanation!

Great outing with Alain. He communicates and navigates with passion. We couldn't have asked for more. An unforgettable day for us.

A big thank you to Alain from the whole family! It was a first, and what a success: excellent weather (wind, sun), nice trip with a stopover in Dunkirk (and a few hours extra on the planned program) and top skipper (very educational, and showing great zen despite our sometimes risky maneuvers) who knows how to pass on his passion for sailing. See you soon !

Great time with Alain, I thank him again for his welcome

What a beautiful day! A big thank you to Alain, the owner-instructor! Pedagogue, he gives us confidence and teaches us a lot. His boat is impeccable, typed race for our great happiness. We highly recommend!

The sea trip with Alain was just perfect, pure happiness! Very welcoming, very simple, very pedagogical: he explains everything and manages the outing calmly and with a smile. The weather conditions were quite harsh, but he managed everything so that we felt great and that we progressed without stress in our mastery of the boat. Thanks to him ;)

Great Host !!! Alain, thank you man, you made this day an unforgettable experience. As a super attentive host, you are considerate of everyone on board. For the novice it is ensured that she/he feels 100% comfortable, and for the slightly more experienced sailors Alain is a coach who teaches you all the tricks of sporty sailing. The Indigo is therefore a real racehorse. Alain, thank you and see you soon. Dominik and Katya

Thank you Alain for this great day of learning.
