Yacht charter in L'Isle-Adam · Lytton Boat — Discovery 850 (1979)

We had chosen to celebrate a birthday with a boat trip on the Oise. As soon as we arrived, Nicolas greeted us with a big smile and a sweater in the colors of his boat. Unfortunately, a storm broke out just as we were boarding, forcing us to stay in the boat's magnificent wooden cabin. Nicolas, always attentive, offered us coffee and tea, which allowed us to wait comfortably while getting to know each other better. Once the storm had cleared, we were finally able to set sail. Nicolas briefed 2 members of our group to involve them in passing through the locks, adding a touch of adventure to our outing...! Heading for Pontoise! We took a seat at the front of the boat, offering a breathtaking view of the Oise, its natural landscapes, its weeping willows, its gray herons, as well as the rich architectural heritage bordering the river (such as the Château de Méry and the bell tower of Auvers-sur-Oise). Arriving in Pontoise, we moored near the tourist office and enjoyed a drink and some crisps while admiring the old fortifications of the town’s castle. On the way back, Nicolas introduced us to the basics of navigation, explaining simple maneuvers as well as river signaling. Nicolas was a great skipper throughout the afternoon. He knew how to adapt to the weather and shared his passion with us generously. Whether you want to discover the local heritage from the Oise, learn to sail or simply have a pleasant time with family or friends, we highly recommend Nicolas.

Nicolas is a very welcoming and attentive commander. The ride and the service were perfect.

We were very well received by Nicolas and his wife who are really very friendly. Nicolas shared his passion for boating with us and gave valuable advice to novice sailors like us. We had a very pleasant day.
