History & Views: we enjoyed it - Smart boat, very neat & tidy. Comfortable seating. Trip was really interesting - written information in English supplemented by guide's comments. Excellent views and we had a added bonus of seeing dolphins too. Would recommend.

Incredible excursion - We had an incredible excursion but how could it be otherwise from the moment we were supervised by a passionate and attentive guide, in a small group and all under a beautiful sun! Recommended, undeniably!

On top! - Superb walk with beautiful explanations, very nice, very accessible. And above all, thank you for adapting to the technical problem. The boat is super well designed and spacious. Go there with your eyes closed (or not because the views are beautiful 🤣)

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.

Unforgettable navigation! - Choosing to take a boat tour of Saint-Malo in March means taking the risk of getting anchored. But the sun made lie all the pessimistic forecasts and, anyway, Nicolas’ smile sunny our afternoon. The history of Saint-Malo has no more secrets for us! The rich presentation of plans, maps, photos and of course our movements in the bay allows us to travel through time and space. Nicolas knows how to create a friendly and warm atmosphere. We approached the islets that dot the bay and discovered the city intramuros like Falkland sailors returning to port. It was a memorable afternoon! Big thanks to Nicolas!

Nice 90-min trip - 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.
