Soledonna, a seaworthy sailboat optimized for travel, learning, discovering sailing and life at sea

Soledonna is not just a rental boat. It is a sailboat with a history, that has traveled, and that has been optimized over the years for real sailing, life on board and crew learning.

Completely energy self-sufficient, it runs on solar and wind power. We almost never run the engine to recharge the batteries: no noise, no smell, no vibrations. Just the sea, the wind, and sailing. It's a rare comfort, and a more authentic way to experience sailing.

On board, everything has been designed for simplicity, safety, and efficiency: accessible deck maneuvers, smooth movement, optimized interior ergonomics for cruising, and a ready-to-use dinghy. And above all, a unique sailing dinghy, the prototype of the first model we developed. It allows crew members—adults and children alike—to extend the pleasure of sailing at anchor, to gently learn the basics, or simply to have fun after a day at sea. It's a complete experience in itself and a real asset to life on board.

Soledonna is a lively boat, meticulously maintained every year, because it participates in demanding races and must remain reliable in all circumstances. It is a traveling companion, a space for sharing, and an ideal platform for discovering sailing in a real, simple, and pressure-free environment.

Antoine, a simple, human approach focused on passing on knowledge and experience.

Sailing has always been a way of life for me, a way to understand the world and to connect with others. After years of personal sailing, travel and experiences at sea, I have chosen to share this passion in a simple, human and accessible way for everyone.

I support each person at their own pace, without pressure, using a teaching method based on observation, understanding, and real-life situations. My goal: to help you progress with confidence in a supportive and authentic environment.

Fides: calm and precise experience.

Fides brings solid experience, great technical expertise, and a strong sense of safety. His calm and structured approach perfectly complements my own, offering balanced and reassuring guidance.

She assists with maneuvers, explains, observes, reassures, and helps everyone progress with confidence. Her teaching skills, patience, and professional approach make her an essential pillar of life on board.

Photo Fides, that's Fides, nothing else to say, it's brilliant.

An additional crew.

On board, we form a complementary crew: two different approaches, but a shared vision of the sea. Simplicity, authenticity, safety, and the joy of sailing. This combination is what makes our courses and sailing trips so successful.
