Une super première expérience
Équipe accueillante, formalités et explications sur le fonctionnement du bateau claires. C'était une première avec un bateau sans permis et j'en retiens une très bonne expérience. Nous avons été aux iles de lérins, c'était super, l'eau magnifique et à bonne température, je recommande
Pour une agréable journée !
Superbe expérience rendue possible grâce à la sympathie et le professionnalisme du personnel de Boat évasion. Le bateau est facilement manœuvrable, pratique et permet de profiter pleinement de nos activités en mer. Beaucoup de monde à l’idée de se rendre aux îles de Lerins, mais la taille du bateau permet de se faufiler afin de trouver un endroit tranquille où jeter l’encre.
