My Darlene and I are from the West coast of Canada .
We have been searching seriously for our retirement sailboat for approximately 3 years. Our previous experiences with various yacht brokers on the west coast has been disappointing at best. Misrepresented and over priced boats seem to be the norm here.
We had found the the Jeanneau online and contacted Michel for more information. Bare in mind Covid was still going strong at this point and travel to Martinique was going to be no small matter. “Sibylle” was sounding good at this point but we were a little skeptical still.
Michel recognized that we were travelling a not insignificant distance during difficult time and promised we would not be disappointed if we were to make the trip. Suffice to say we took the plunge figuring if the sailboat didn’t work out we’d at least get a break from a Canadian winter. We knew within the first 5 minutes aboard that we’d found our boat. His integrity and honesty will not be forgotten. Michel made himself available pretty much whenever we had questions and was very helpful throughout the purchase process.
Would recommend or use A&C Yacht brokers and Michel , absolutely !

Jeanneau
In 1957, Henri Jeanneau, already passionate about aeroplanes and automobiles, had just discovered a brand new passion for powerboating, one that began as he watched a boat pass by his window. Soon afterward, in Les Herbiers, France, home to a rich heritage of artisan work, he began building a wooden hull with which he participated in the 6-hour Paris race, the largest national race at the time. He was first to cross the line, and this galvanized him. So, a past time became a trade.
In 1959, he hired canoe builders as apprentices in his new business, “the Nautical Hall of the West,” which would become, a few years later, the Jeanneau shipyards.
Since its repurchase in 1995, Jeanneau belongs to the Beneteau group.
