Merci d’avoir été si attentifs à nos caprices et demandes farfelues. Merci d’avoir fait de ce voyage un moment encore plus inoubliable ! Bon vent !

Charter on May 28 – June 4, 2022 in St Martin area - American group of 6
How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?
We had a wonderful time. Everything was top notch.
How would you describe Captain Sebastien? Was he courteous? Attentive? Knowledgeable? How about the rest of your crew?
The whole crew Sebastian, Max (chef) and Bea (steward and everything woman) were wonderful. They listened to what we wanted and catered to our needs.
Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your party’s expectations?
Meals were wonderful, our only complaint was it was usually too much food and we typically didn’t need 3 meals per day. We had one person who didn’t eat fish and one person who was Vegan and they catered to both very well.
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well maintained? Were your cabins comfortable?
The yacht was beautiful, very new and very well maintained. It was well beyond our expectations. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The size of the boat was great for 6 people plus crew, we had plenty of room all over the boat to hang out.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
It was a good pace. We chose to go to St Kitts and Nevis for a couple of days which was a 6 hour cruise but it was a nice cruise. Would probably go to Anguilla the next time.
Would you charter FRENCH WEST again? If not, please explain. If yes, what are the key reasons?
Definitely. It was a stunning boat with plenty of room, great crew and we loved Saint Martin, Saint Barths, Nevis and the smaller islands we went to.

Today it’s exactly one month since we boarded French West, which became the start of a really great week with so much fun, delicious food and excellent service.
Stockholm is grey, a few degrees below zero, some snow, terribly boring and is difficult to understand why we ever left the vessel…
It was a really fantastic experience you gave us and I’m sending this email to express our great gratitude for your way to taking care of me and my family.
Please also send all our best to Pierre, Max and Paula.
Kind regards, Staffan
