“Alex and Jason gave us one of the best days ever. I went on this trip with 3 friends and we spent the day sailing on the beautiful Algue sailboat - stopping to swim, snorkel, and SUP. The lunch was delicious and there was plenty of water and adult beverages on board. Friends, a unique experience, and lots of smiles - we couldn't have asked for anything more.”

"Absolutely amazing! My family of 6 had a most wonderful day sailing with Alex and Josh. They love the sea and were so hospitable. Lunch was our best meal of the trip so far…fresh and delicious! There was plenty for my son who does not eat gluten. The day was a dream! (I am skeptical of rave reviews…please trust me…the reviews are spot on!)"

“It was so awesome I can't even describe! It was two of us (me and my mom) and even though Alex didn't have any other guests that day, he didn't cancel the trip and/or charged us more. So by accident, our experience became totally private 🙂 The yacht is BEAUTIFUL! Alex take care of it with such a love. The trip, the sea, the sun and everything was so amazing. Oh! And I also have to thank Alex's wife who prepared the food for us and believe me it was better than in many restaurants. That salad with spicy chicken was so yummy! Thank you Alex and if you want to spend a day on yacht, you can't find the better option!”

“What an incredible experience. First off, Alex and Jason were spectacular hosts. Made us feel welcome from the introduction. Every thing about it was surreal. Probably one of the best experiences of my life--simply awe inspiring. The waters were wonderful, the knowledge of Alex was incredible, and the scenery was spectacular. The rosé and food were on par with the scenery, not to mentioned prepared by Alex (props to Alex's wife on the quiche!). If you're looking for a personal, intimate sailing experience in the French Riviera, this is THE ONE. Among the 18 days spent in France, this is the highlight. Thank you, Alex and Jason! Can't wait to come back and sail again!”

“A group of family and friends were lucky enough to come across Alex and manage to book a full day with Alex and Jason.

We met them in Cannes and then sailed out past Ille Sainte Marguerite to a beautiful anchoring which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful azure waters of the Mediterranean sea.

Alex and Jason provided Snorkel gear and SUP which ensured that adult and child alike were entertained.

We brought our own tunes and hooked up to their speakers and after some time enjoying the water we treated to a very tasty and varied lunch including quiche, chicken salad, cheeses, charcuterie, breads and fruit all washed down with wine and beer which was not in short supply.

The boat itself is a juxtapose of a more romantic and pure time when compared to all the modern amenities wealth has on show in Cannes. It has a purity of purpose and a character that you are drawn to and cling to as the whirring helicopters try to wrestle your calm from you.

Alex and Jason could not do more for you once aboard. All our family and friends said it was the best part of our holiday. High praise indeed.

Book the Algue and create memories that will last a lifetime.”

We had a great day out with Alex and Josh on the stunning Algue, sailing around the Bay of Cannes and les Iles de Lerins, relaxing on a 1948 yacht, looking at the 2023 Cote d'Azur and the 1,500 year-old monastery. Fabulous stop-off between the islands for a delicious lunch (with homemade Provençal quiche), wine, swimming and snorkelling. A top day, and Chewie the dog enjoyed it too, highly recommend it.

Alex and Josh looked after us very accommodating during the day. Alex's Yacht is an absolute dream. Despite some noise, the day was (too) fast. Alex showed us around the day very well and explained everything about the boat and the area of Cannes. The food was very good and the recreational opportunities during the arrival were also very rich. I'm sure we'll be back. Mahalo

It was a perfect boat trip. Alex is a smart ,interesting and relaxed sailor. We felt safe and extremely comfortable. The food was excellent. The quiche has to be mentioned particularly positively. Thank you also for the given to welcoming our dog on board and taking care of it while we were swimming in the sea. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to sail with Alex again soon. Thank you for everything !
