Roberto was an absolutely amazing captain and we had the best time on his beautiful sailboat. We were in France for two weeks and our time on the water with Roberto was by far the highlight and most special part of the trip. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and very skilled at ensuring a smooth and peaceful ride. We already miss Roberto and our time at sea! We will be back.

Mont Saint Clair allows you to prepare while being protected from the north wind and the same on the way back. Sète is a very beautiful city with very beautiful sailboats.
Le mont Saint Clair permet de se préparer en étant protégé du vent du Nord et idem au retour. Sète est une très belle ville avec de très beaux voiliers.
