With Alexandre, a professional skipper, you follow the winds to discover the shores of France, Corsica, Sardinia, the Balearics and Catalonia. Leave Switzerland by train and embark on his monohull, an Dufour Atoll 50’, for a week or more, and choose the section of the itinerary the makes you dream. With six double cabins, four heads, a barbeque to cook delicious fish, alot of room on deck as this craft was designed to maximise deckspace as you would find on a catamaran, an open galley, a cockpit big enough to hold sixteen people comfortably and enough room to relax while at anchor, in addition there is a roof that doubles as a sundeck and a diving platform.

This boat offers a great way to enjoy sailing without loosing the comfort of bigger crafts – it allows you dream as you see the wilder coast, paradisical beaches after cruising with dolphins, turtles, swordfish and perhaps whales, there is nothing more beautiful. If sea-sickness is a problem there is no need to worry with modern remedies – Sailing has really become a real pleasure for all.
