Sri Lanka
is a brand new destination, which is finally opening up to the nautical industry. The former Ceylon is a tropical island as big as Ireland, which offers a wonderful coastline bordered with coconut trees and remarkable archaeological treasures, as well as some exceptional trekking routes.
Sri Lanka is just starting to open up to the nautical industry. It’s the right moment to have a first look at a still completely virgin area.
THE DESTINATION’S ‘PLUS’ – SRI LANKA:
1,340 km of sublime coastline are yours, and there are just...two charter boats. What could be better?
WHEN TO GO:
From June to September on the east coast, and from October to March on the south and west coasts.
Madagascar
is considered by many sailors and charter professionals to be one of the most beautiful places in the world, and one of the areas to be discovered as soon as possible. Half way between Africa and Asia, Madagascar is a unique island-continent. A destination you will not forget; more than a discovery, a revelation...
All those who have been lucky enough to cruise in Madagascar have been won over…
THE DESTINATION’S ‘PLUS’ – MADAGASCAR:
The incredible welcome from a poor but very engaging population.
WHEN TO GO:
The dry season stretches from April to October. This is the best time to cruise in Madagascar.
The Seychelles
For certain members of the editorial team, the Seychelles are magic. In the world of cruising under sail, the Seychelles really have a special place. This destination offers beautiful scenery, incredibly rich underwater life, a welcoming population and small and large islands, each more beautiful than the last, just a few miles apart...
THE DESTINATION’S ‘PLUS’ – THE SEYCHELLES:
One of the destinations with the easiest access for Europeans, with little jet lag. Ideal for a family with young children.
WHEN TO GO:
All the year round... Another ‘plus’ for this destination which is outside the hurricane zone.
Thailand
The area all around Thailand (with Malaysia) offers a wonderful and original cruising area. Asia’s unique colors will amaze you, and the incredible welcome by the locals will remain one of the unforgettable moments of your cruise. And what can we say about the food: wonderful! An area where it’s good to sail and enjoy life, quite simply.
Thailand – from Phuket to the Gulf of Thailand (here in the photo), via the Andaman Sea and as far as Malaysia deserves several visits to discover every little corner.
THE DESTINATION’S ‘PLUS’ – THAILAND:
A unique light, and incredibly diverse landscapes, each more grandiose than the last.
WHEN TO GO:
From November to May, but the Gulf of Thailand is just as pleasant in summer.
Scandinavia
And why not try cruising in Scandinavia? In the Stockholm archipelago alone you will find some 30,000 islands within reach. More than enough for you to find the (inevitably) deserted anchorage you dream about. An original destination, for a change of scenery.
Discovering Scandinavia and its tens of thousands of islands!
THE DESTINATION’S ‘PLUS’ – SCANDINAVIA:
A total change of scene and an incredible number of large and small islands, not to mention the majestic fjords.
WHEN TO GO:
In summer…
Brittany
The French know Brittany well, as they have often spent time there in a sailing school. It must be said that the area is particularly beautiful, and offers a real change of scenery to those who know how to look. Sailing up a river, discovering the Glénans archipelago, anchoring off Belle Ile... There is no lack of either anchorages or cruising ideas in this invigorating and incredibly beautiful corner of France.
Brittany offers everything a sailor could dream about: good sailing conditions and sumptuous anchorages.
THE DESTINATION’S ‘PLUS’ – BRITTANY:
The cradle of French sailing, and stunningly beautiful.
WHEN TO GO:
All the year round for the brave, summer for the others!
