J’ai eu la chance de passer deux jours inoubliables à bord du voilier D’Aqua d’Aïa, entourée d’un groupe de 7 personnes formidables. Virginie et Stéphane nous ont accueillis avec une hospitalité sincère et généreuse, mettant tout en œuvre pour que nous nous sentions comme chez nous. Les repas, préparés avec soin à partir de produits locaux et de saison, étaient un vrai régal pour les papilles. Je repars le cœur plein de beaux souvenirs et d’une gratitude immense pour ces moments de bonheur partagé que je n’oublierai jamais.
Très beau séjour organisé par Stéphane et Virginie, leurs connaissances et leurs compétences ont rendu ces 2 jours sur mer des plus agréables que me soit donné. Je vous remercie infiniment

We had an absolutely amazing day on the waters of the French Riviera. Five of us were very comfortable and felt incredibly well taken care of throughout the entire excursion. The boat was in immaculate condition, had more than enough spaces to relax, and the destinations we visited were truly breathtaking. The sailing was smooth and relaxing, yet carried a sense of real adventure. Stéphane and Virginie were friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They truly made this experience unforgettable, and we can't recommend it enough!
This was one of the best experiences of my life. Stephan and Virginia are exceptional human beings that we fell in love with. They go way above and beyond. They are experts and deeply committed to safety. We shared so many laughs and sweet stories together and made memories I will never forget. We’ll charter with them again soon! Can’t recommend enough!
This was the best charter experience. I will 100% be booking this again. It was my birthday and they made me feel extra special! They even made us lunch which was delicious.
Our group of 4 had an amazing day on the waters with Stéphane and Virginie. They were so accommodating, welcoming, and made sure we had the best day with multiple stopping points for swimming. The boat was extremely nice, spacious, clean and had everything we needed from bathroom to water equipment. Merci encore
Highly recommend this boat charter. Both Captain Stephanè and Virginia are amazing and accommodated our 5 person party for 3 nights stay with ease. Each meal was healthy, unique and most importantly filling. There were always snacks and drinks provided between meals. The beds and bathrooms were spacious and comofortable. Captains sailboat ride was smooth and he even educated us about the waters and how to navigate them. We will Most definitely be back to visit. They are family now

Stephane & Virginie's honesty was so refreshing! I booked a full day trip with them for this upcoming weekend and unfortunately, the weather was not looking too great. All of my concerns and questions were met with earnest answers and I felt like they truly cared about my fiancé and I's safety. While it is unfortunate that we had to cancel due to weather, I will most definitely be booking with them when I return in the future.They value safety and guest satisfaction over profits and that's what everyone is looking for when booking a boat trip!
