About the experience
My sailboat, Samurai, is a 7.60-meter keelboat with a comfortable cabin and four berths, perfectly suited for coastal cruising and learning to sail.
Its manageable size makes it an excellent vessel for learning the basics of sailing, whether for a first-time experience or for honing your skills. The swim platform is equipped with a swim ladder, making it easy to access the sea for refreshing swims in the crystal-clear waters of the Frioul coves or along the magnificent Côte Bleue.
I offer day trips as well as mini-cruises over a weekend, depending on your preferences. These getaways are an opportunity to learn how to handle sails in real-world conditions: jibs, genoas, mainsails, and even the spinnaker for the more adventurous.
I take the time to explain each maneuver and guide each participant, regardless of their skill level. The goal is to share a fun and educational sailing experience in a friendly atmosphere.
A passionate sailor for many years, and particularly drawn to the spirit of regattas, I love sharing my knowledge and introducing people to the unique sensations of sailing. Aboard Samouraï, you won't just be passengers: you'll become crew members, fully involved in the experience.
Whether you're alone, as a couple, or with friends, embark on an authentic maritime adventure, combining learning, relaxation, and wonder.

PaulDate of the rental 04/03/2026 · Date of the review 05/03/2026Read moreI had a wonderful sailing day with Christoph and can highly recommend the experience. From the beginning he was warm, calm and very welcoming, which made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Christoph explains things clearly and patiently, so it’s perfect whether you’re completely new to sailing or want to improve your skills. One thing I especially appreciated was that he let me steer the boat almost the entire time because I wanted to practice and improve my sailing for the Mediterranean. That level of trust and encouragement made the experience both fun and very valuable. He takes the time to explain maneuvers and shares his knowledge in a very accessible way. Christoph is kind, respectful and creates a friendly atmosphere on board where you really feel like part of the crew rather than just a passenger. It’s a great opportunity to learn while enjoying a beautiful day on the water. One small tip: if you don’t speak French, it’s a good idea to contact him beforehand so you can make sure communication on board works smoothly. Overall, a fantastic and authentic sailing experience — I would happily sail with Christoph again! ⛵️ -

We had an absolutely exceptional time thanks to Christophe, who sailed with us to Frioul Island from Marseille. The trip was conducted with great kindness, a genuine sense of hospitality, and constant attention to ensure everyone, including our three children, fully enjoyed the day! A huge thank you for sharing this experience, Christophe! -
