Voiles et Vacances

Nikki -

Pascale was very welcoming and extremely helpful. The boat was well looked after for her age, and the price was very reasonable.

The company was small, so you should not expect a global organisation like Sunsail - e.g. if Pascale has to go to collect a boat abandoned in Corsica by a hirer, she will be difficult to contact - but she will get back to you as soon as she can.

The only downside for me was that the company will not accept credit cards for the deposit, so I had to arrange a bank transfer in Euros, and to wait for some months for it to be returned (also in Euros). Luckily I had a friend with a Euro bank account, otherwise I would have had to pay currency conversion charges twice. This is why I have given 4 stars instead of 5.

Oh - and keep out of the way of the French Navy ships round Toulon. Collision regulations (power gives way to sail) do not seem to apply to them :-)
