It was a nice experience. Lionel was very accommodating, ready to change the itinerary according to the weather forecast.
Amazing day on the boat with Lionel! Our family had such a great time. We got to see the beautiful coastline and stop at some great beaches for lunch. Swimming in the ocean off the boat was spectacular! Lionel was very accommodating and made the trip very special! Highly recommend!
10 STARS!!!! We had an absolutely wonderful trip to some amazing places in south of Corsica! Very competent skipper with a very high personal engagement ! The skipper is also very attentive to the crew on board also while not sailing making those on board safe, comfortable and well taken care of. We surely loved every second of the trip! Lionel thank you so so much we are looking very much forward to see you again and going on another trip !!
We had a fantastic daytrip from Santa Guilia to les îles Lavezzi. Lionel is very charming, open and capitaine of a great and comfortable boat. All in all the perfect activity with a party of four friends. Thanks and till next time we most certainly want to "voir les voiles se gonfler!" :D Je te souhaite bon vent! - Daniel
We had a very, very nice day on the Echappée with Lionel. He gave us a warm welcome and we have no hesitation in recommending Lionel for your stay on board. Thank you so much, Lionel!
We had a wonderful day with Lionel on his boat. Great welcome, all the equipment to diversify the pleasure, superb views, an introduction to sailing and the cherry on the cake: an encounter with the dolphins! Thank you
A great family moment, a big thank you to Lionel for his kindness
We booked a stay with Lionel, for two people. It was an exceptional experience He was accommodating, warm welcome, we felt like we were spending a weekend on a friend's boat. Lionel is open, so it was a very pleasant trip, not to mention the magnificent secluded coves of transparent water, the schools of sea bream and other fish within reach of a mask and snorkel Thank you Lionel J and P
Superb cruise with Lionel, this old sea dog who will make you discover the pleasures of sailing, local gastronomy and the beauty of the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia! Special mention for his cucumber salad, his flambéed bananas and his predictions of magnificent sunsets. Go there with your eyes closed and let yourself be guided by Captain Lionel.
We had a great day with Lionel. Our children (8 and 13 years old) are delighted with their navigation. Lionel is a very friendly person and does not hesitate to share his knowledge. To do again on another stay, Thank you Lionel! Soen, Naemi, Sylvain and Céline
Very nice experience with Lionel in a magnificent area
A beautiful ‘Echapee’ and an incredible awakening in the Lavezzi Thanks Lionel for these 2 days
Small, old, slow boat. Not recommended for day trips. In our case it was also not very clean. Very uncomfortable boarding via tender, not suitable for children. The captain is a kind and helpful man who would do anything to make you enjoy the day. For me it was not a satisfying experience.
Wonderful! Two unforgettable days with the family aboard the Echappee with Lionel. Everything was there: quality of sailing, choice of anchorage spot in turquoise waters under the cliffs of Santa Manza, multiple swimming stops, welcome, friendliness and sharing. To do again urgently. Thanks again to Lionel.
We had a great family day. We drove along the coast and stopped at 3 different places to swim and snorkel. We returned to the port with a magnificent sunset and as a bonus some dolphins gave us a beautiful end of day show. Lionel is very welcoming and puts young and old alike at ease. I recommend 200%.
Thanks to Lionel for this beautiful day on his sailboat. The welcome was very warm and we felt safe from start to finish. The boat was perfectly clean and is very well maintained. Lionel knows the good spots to anchor and have fun in the water and he has a lot of equipment like a board, masks and snorkels... it was great!
Beautiful day even if the weather did not allow us to return to the Lavezzi Islands... on the other hand Lionel takes great care and always seeks to satisfy to bounce back and go out of his way for his guests. We wish him good luck in his projects ?
Lionel is truly passionate, he gave us an excellent day with our two children aged 7 and 1 year old. He is in tune with our comfort and our needs/desires. Beyond this day, he’s the kind of person we enjoy meeting and getting to know.
So many good memories that we will keep from this wonderful day! Lionel "the captain" is very professional, friendly, convivial and passionate about sailing, it's a pleasure to share his passion with him. Super communicative, he listens to his customers. We highly recommend it!
My partner and I had a magical time with Lionel and Christelle. It was perfection ?. Departure at 9 a.m. from Porto-Vecchio, slightly rough seas for very fun sensations at the front of the boat ⛵ :), a stop in Santa-Giulia, a return to sailing downwind, a second stop in Saint-Cyprien taking advantage of it 30°C water for swimming, at the top! This is nothing compared to the very positive and benevolent energy that emerged from this day during which we had a blast, enjoying unforgettable moments such as returning at dusk with a magnificent view of all the mountainous areas of the bay of Porto-Vecchio. Lionel and Christelle were of rare kindness and sympathy. They even left my partner and I on the bay of Saint-Cyprien for dinner on the sailboat :). Thank you for everything ?⛵☺️
We enjoyed 5 nights and 6 days aboard l’Echappée. Suspended moments cradled in charm and a taste for freedom. Accompanied by a crew of 3 beginners (including a 5-year-old pirate), the kindly captain “El Lion” (or Lionel for short) taught us his art of aerobatics by taming the winds at the controls of his vigorous Dufour perfectly equipped: BBQ, diving equipment, underwater scooter. We tasted without moderation the flavors and authenticity of the Sardinian ports and southern Corsica during our stopovers. The wild coves of the Lavezzi Islands and then the Maddalena archipelago offered us voluptuous nights of anchorage, illuminated by their ceilings of sparkling stars. Few words will faithfully describe the pleasures of our encounters. Too bad these moments are so short. No doubt we will come back! Thank you captain ;-)
We had an excellent day in the company of a very jovial and friendly skipper. Departure and return to the bay of Santa Giulia, a small paradise beach for a picnic, and participation in navigation...thank you for this day Lionel.
