Bénéteau First 41 S5 (1993)

"L'oiseau Bleu" welcomes, with friendliness and good humor, novice and more or less experienced sailors for invigorating cruises throughout the Antilles Arc. (smokers accepted while respecting non-smokers)
The stays can have different themes and therefore routes and rhythms that are just as varied depending on the duration and the desires of the crew: Discovery of life on board, Initiation, Improvement, Sailing-diving, Validation of miles, etc...
Herber, a professional state-certified skipper instructor will always be available to offer you with passion all explanations and teaching. Although everyone's participation in the maneuvers is not required, everyone's involvement in "life on board" is the guarantee of a friendly and memorable cruise.

"L'Oiseau Bleu" is a BENETEAU FIRST 41S5 (12.30 m. and 2 m. draft)
With its slender rigging, its high-performance hull and its recent and performance-oriented fittings, the pleasure of sailing is at all times.

Its interior designed by the famous designer Philipe STARCK is spacious, ergonomic, bright and generously ventilated.
"L'Oiseau Bleu" is a luxury 2-cabin version: The forward cabin (triangular berth measuring 240 x 160 for 2 people) has its own WC cabin and separate washbasin. The vast aft cabin (berth measuring 190 to 230 x 170) for 2 people. is adjoining a large bathroom-WC with shower cubicle.
