A note from your charter specialist
I've been on board FRENCHWEST more times than I can count, and she still surprises me. With space for 8 guests, she works equally well for a multi-generational family week or a tighter group of friends who want every cabin to feel like a suite. Happy to walk you through a week on board personally — there are a few details that don't make it onto any spec sheet.
