A magical night aboard the Alibis, a charming, cozy sailboat
⚓ Welcome aboard Alibis: Your magical interlude in Port Guillaume ⚓
Do you dream of a real disconnection, lightness and suspended moments? Let yourself be seduced by the unique charm of Alibis, our cosy sailboat entirely designed to offer you an unusual and unforgettable experience.
🌅 An exceptional setting in the heart of Normandy Your stay begins on the south side of the port, in the magnificent Port Guillaume. As soon as you arrive, you will be captivated by the atmosphere of this exceptional marina: the soft animation of the pontoons, the reflections of the Normandy light on the water and the beauty of the surrounding bay. It is the ideal spot to enjoy a sunset, breathe in the sea air and completely disconnect from everyday life. A badge will be given to you on arrival to give you free access to the secure pontoon and the port toilets.
🛋️ A cosy and authentic cocoon Inside, forget the rudimentary comfort of the campsite: here, we take care of you!
Night side: At the front of the boat, you will spend a peaceful night in a real pointed double bed, lulled by the lapping of the water. The saloon also has two side berths (one of which is fully equipped for sleeping). For your comfort, bed linen and towels are provided.
The atmosphere: The floor is covered with seagrass, bringing a warm, natural and resolutely marine touch to this cozy little nest.
☕ All the comforts "like at home" (but on the water!)
The boat is equipped so that you don't miss anything:
For gourmets: A coffee maker with coffee, milk and sugar pods awaits you for sweet mornings, as well as a free-standing breakfast tray. You will also find a microwave, a high-performance compression cooler to keep your drinks cold, crockery (glasses, cups, cutlery) and everything you need to improvise a romantic picnic.
Energy & High-tech: Stay connected (if you want!) thanks to the 12V and 220V sockets on board, a charger and a portable speaker to dress up your evenings with your favorite playlist. PGJyPgPGJyPg Small touches: Explore the equipped (the wooden storage on the right and left)! We have slipped in local documentation for your stopovers, basic toiletries, as well as board games for memorable evenings.
At the end of the day, the LED lighting (side and tip) diffuses a muffled and ultra-cosy light.
🥂 Gentle outdoor living The Alibis bridge becomes your private lounge on the water.
Make yourself comfortable on the outdoor cushions, unfold the stunning teak table and enjoy an aperitif or coffee with a breathtaking view of the masts that wave in the wind.
More than just a night, a true marine experience awaits you. So, shall we take you on board? 🌊✨
