Nous avons passĂ© 2 nuits Ă  bord du Catamaran AstĂ©rix (Gilles nous surclassĂ© car le Falbala avait une maintenance en cours). Accueil trĂšs sympa et prĂ©cis de Gilles. Couchage confortable et fait Ă  notre arrivĂ©e. Emplacement en bout de ponton apprĂ©ciable: pas de voisins d’un cĂŽtĂ©. Nous n’avons pas pu faire de sortie en mer (imprĂ©vu personnel) mais la proposition de Gilles avait l’air trĂšs sympa. Nous recommandons cette expĂ©rience !

Calme et dépaysement

Superbe séjour sur ce bateau bien rénové. Espace minimaliste mais tout confort. L'emplacement sur le petit port calme de L'Epine est impeccable, au calme et bien orienté. Gilles est un hÎte passionné et trÚs attachant! Une trÚs belle découverte de Noirmoutier.

Chouette expérience !

Nous avons passé une semaine à bord et sommes plus que satisfaits de notre séjour ! Le bateau est trÚs confortable, trÚs bien équipé, et super bien situé dans le port, en bout de ponton avec vue sur la sortie du port et la mer. En octobre, le temps est encore doux et le soleil chauffe bien sur le pont, il est agréable d'y boire un verre en compagnie des goélands et des cormorans. Gilles, le propriétaire et capitaine du bateau nous a emmené sur l'ßle d'Yeu avec nos vélos pour une journée, super expérience. Gilles est trÚs à l'écoute de ses hÎtes et fait tout pour qu'ils se sentent bien, belle expérience que nous avons hùte de renouveler.
