For about a decade now, I have been renting from Sailoé (Lorient and Seychelles) on various types of vessels for several weeks each year: Archambault, Pogo, Oléa, First 31.7 to 45, Lagoon, and more. Stéphane and his team are sailing enthusiasts, whether it's racing or cruising. We have learned a great deal from them, never hesitating to seek advice on various aspects such as adjustments, safety, navigation, anchoring, weather, and more. Our conversations are always empathetic, free from judgment.

Regarding their fleet, we have never encountered any issues: the boats are exceptionally clean and technically flawless. I recommend Sailoé to all my acquaintances with full confidence. Stéphane offers numerous solutions even in the event of last-minute changes. Looking forward to next Friday! 😉

We have just returned from a 4-day cruise on Alphonse and we would like to thank you for the quality of your welcome.
It's been a while since I've rented in the area, and I must say that we particularly appreciated the whole of your service.

Whether it was the price that you were able to adapt to our budgetary constraints, the information you gave us beforehand (boat's logbook...), your proposal to leave the day before, or even the care taken on the pontoons by your teams and especially Ben, everything was perfect ;)

We are delighted to see that there are still agencies like yours and will be back with pleasure!

See you soon,

I went through ACV/SAILOE for the purchase of an A31, in preparation for the Transquadra 2018. Stéphane Bariou and his entire team found us an exceptional second-hand boat, brought it back to a like-new condition, and supported us throughout our project with great professionalism.

For almost ten years, we have been renting monohulls and catamarans with ACV every summer as a family. When we decided to purchase a catamaran for our family's world tour and after visiting several boat shows, we learned that ACV had become a Lagoon dealer. Our choice naturally fell on ACV for a Lagoon 450s. Upon delivery in 2019 and for nearly three months, the ACV team prepared our future home according to our requirements and their advice: water desalination system, solar panels, wind turbine, downwind sails, dinghy and outboard, offshore equipment, and more.

Today, almost two years after our departure, we are in the Tuamotus, and we do not regret our choice of model, dealer, and technical choices made with simplicity in mind, because on the other side of the world, a minor technical issue can quickly become a major problem.

A few words to finally express our complete satisfaction after 3 rentals with ACV. The boats (Lagoon 380, 410, 450s) were always top-notch, and the team is truly competent and attentive. Thank you all, and hopefully, see you in 2021!

I acquired a catamaran in 2015 from ACV to undertake an Atlantic tour. I was very pleased with the boat, of course, but also with the support provided in preparing for my family journey. Having sold this boat upon my return to land life, I couldn't resist for long and acquired an Oceanis 311 DL in 2018, completely refurbished by ACV. It turned out to be an excellent vessel for a navigation program in Brittany.

A couple in their sixties, who had never sailed before but clung to their dreams and decided to live on the sea. After much thought, we chose a Lagoon 450 S, the owner's version, and went to ACV in LORIENT, which is as close as possible to our home. ACV is a team of professionals who adapt to each individual by assessing needs, listening, and providing relevant advice. The boat, thus prepared, allowed us to live for 2 years already. We realized our dream, a trouble-free round-trip transatlantic journey. Who would have thought it!

Excellent structure, the boats are at the top, the staff are reactive, welcoming and professional. I recommend without fear, we have sailed 7 boats from Lorient and 70 people. We'll do it again without worry.

From experience, the choice of a dealership for purchasing a new boat should be based on the after-sales service, as it is crucial to the boat's delivery. Indeed, during the first few years, fine-tuning the boat will reveal numerous minor to major issues that will require intervention. From this perspective, we couldn't have found a better match than the ACV team, who spared no effort in resolving problems, combining effectiveness with a smile. Many thanks to them."
