About VLAD

We’re Alex and Véro, the couple behind VLAD. Together, we share a love for sailing, the St. Lawrence River, and creating memorable moments on the water.

From the Pointe-au-Pic dock in La Malbaie, at the foot of some of Charlevoix’s most iconic hotels, we set sail to offer a different way to experience the river.

We combine seamanship and hospitality to create an experience that feels both adventurous and welcoming.

Step aboard Mélaudine and discover our favorite way to experience Charlevoix, driven by the wind.
