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! 😉

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.

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!

It's my first rental. And it won't be my last.
All the preparation for the outing (Ascension 2012 on 4 days) was managed quietly, the exchanges by email or telephone allowed us to be ready to board.
Handling without worries, efficient (replacement of winch cranks a little worn. Assistance in reassembling the lazy-jack ;-).
The boat, the A40: what happiness. Surfing at over 18 knots, less than three hours between Concarneau and Port-Tudy. Sails that can be shaped as you wish. A vast cockpit ideal for manoeuvring. State-of-the-art tactical equipment.
After two days, we find that it is not "Spartan" enough. We can still lighten her up a bit.
That's it, I still have to get back in shape to leave with, or with another.
Thanks to the whole team!

Super team, very professional and available. The base in Kernevel is very practical and well placed.
And great boat!
Very good sailing advice.
A really nice week in South Brittany between the Glénans, Concarneau, Groix, Belle Ile and Houat.

Thanks to Xavier and the rest of the team.

How to start from almost nothing to create a boat capable of circumnavigating the globe? This is the challenge ACV took on to refurbish this Lagoon 380, which was thoroughly scavenged in the Caribbean and completely renovated in Lorient. The negotiations began six months before the final brushstroke, and they progressed smoothly, solving any potential problems as they arose. The team's responsiveness was never compromised, even when non-fatal breakdowns occurred at various stages. After eighteen months and 15,000 nautical miles between Le Crouesty and Nouméa, CAROLIGUI is in excellent condition and eagerly impatient to set sail again, despite the challenges posed by Mr. COVID.

As part of our family's long cruise project, we allowed ourselves to be guided, advised, and trained by the ACV team. We set sail in 2018 with a new Lagoon 42 purchased through leasing. Throughout our adventure, they were always responsive to our after-sales requests (which were few in reality). With our journey concluded by the end of 2020, they are still by our side for the delivery and resale of the boat.- Alice and Sébastien.

My purchase of a Lagoon catamaran was a very positive experience from start to finish. From the moment I got in touch with the SAILOÉ team, I was impressed by their professionalism and expertise. They answered all my questions and guided me through the purchase process with great attention to detail.

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!
