nice stay in porquerolles

patrick’s boat is small (ideal for 2 people max) but nice and very clean! it was a good experience for two nights. two things to note are that there is no shower on the boat and you have instead to go to a public restroom. the other is that if you don’t bring your own sheets, he will charge $30 per bedroom. he offered us a nice tour of the island and was a great host!

Très bien accueillis, le bateau est petit mais conforme à la description , il faut peut être préciser que douche et wc sont plutôt à la capitainerie, et si il y a du monde peut amener un peu d’attente.

Un moment d'evasion

Un seminaire de travail prolongé par quelques jours sur l'ile. Randonnees en paddle pour explorer la cote, coté courtade et notre dame. Soiree en amoureux au bar, pour un apero et autour de la place pour un diner chaleureux...que de beaux moments de contemplation et de detente.

Magnifique séjour à porquerolles à bord du défis fou

3 nuits et 4 jours inoubliables à porquerolles, Patrick est un hôte accueillant et bienveillant. Au petit soin il nous attendait comme prévu à la sortie de la navette. Le bateau est très bien localisé et très propre. Rien de tel que de dormir sur un bateau pour apprécier le côté paisible et agréable de l île une fois que les touristes d un jour sont repartis. Experience a faire absolument, en famille, avec des amis, avec des ados...

Le paradis sur mer

Notre séjour sur le DEfifou est mémorable! Patrick nous a réservé un très bon accueil (ptite bouteille de rosé) et mis à l'aise d'entrée. Bonne orientation, bon conseils... Rien ne manque au Défifou! L'emplacement est top : Des couchers de soleil à couper le souffle. A refaire!
