L´Octant Guest Reviews
January 2026 - US family
This was some of the best sailing I have ever experienced.
Family Charter Sardinia June 2024
Gracias a ustedes por todas las atenciones! Muy amables y atentos siempre! Ya saben que en Guatemala los espera una Familia!!
family Charter Corsica July 2024
Salut Maryline!! Many thanks to you and Antoine for all of your work and care for the Herrera family!! Happy sailing and have a great summer season!!
E. P Family from California. August 2023
´I told my wife as we left our house to go to Corsica, ”don’t expect much from the boat or crew”. I hadn’t taken any time to look into it. I just wanted to go. I have done many charters all over the world and would say this was one of the best ever. The weather was pretty crappy and still Antione planned an excellent itinerary that allowed us to have a great time. The boat was excellent and clean. The bad weather allowed the crew to display excellent competency. The food way exceeded our expectations. Winward Charters was so professional and I appreciated the dinner when Marilynne was gone. I can’t thank you enough. I will use your company again.
Sincerely´ E. P.
New Year´s 2025/2026 charter
