The last racing sailboat of Jean-Yves Terlain, French skipper, this 60-foot Open (Vendée Globe sailboat) was transformed to serve the activities of WWF, then SEA SHEPHERD. Having become an expedition boat, we recommend that you talk with the crew about the big and small adventures of this sailboat.
Columbus offers you a moment of relaxation, rocked in one of the hammocks or leaning on one of the most beautiful 'sea view' balconies in La Rochelle. And to enjoy a 360° panorama, you can move freely throughout the boat from bow to stern, in the fresh air but well sheltered in case of rain. You will sail in complete conviviality, so get ready to experience an exciting and unforgettable trip at sea!
