Nice 90-min trip
Paul_S, Apr 2025
Nice trip around the city of St. Malo. Was a good way to spend 90 minutes. First part of the tour was in French with English leaflet, second part was in French and English.
Pleasant ride

Very nice boat ride, in small group, on a clean and very well maintained boat. The skipper is very friendly, gives a lot of explanations and answers questions with a smile. We recommend!
What a pleasure to sail on Nicolas' boat!

My daughter and I had the chance to discover the bay of St Malo on Nicolas' boat who welcomed us warmly. Coffee, cupcakes and smiles were there. Nicolas is a very pedagogue , he knew how to tell us the story of St Malo simply, without ever getting tired of us. The scenery was beautiful under the sun. There were eight of us, which is a real plus to facilitate exchanges. Thank you very much Nicolas, we will be back with pleasure! Pascale and Ines.
Beautiful!
