We had the absolute best day with Mathieu on the Mediterranean. Mathieu was easy to communicate with, friendly, knowledgeable about the coastline and the region's history, and an exceptional captain. We loved everything, start to finish. The boat was a historic fishing boat, restored to perfection. We brought some wine and charcuterie, swam in the sea, and enjoyed the beautiful mountain views. Could not recommend this experience enough!
