This unit was refurbished in 2015. The living space was enlarged: watch position under a new coachroof, enlargement of the saloon, equipment, upholstery, new bedding, etc. LIFE ON BOARD You benefit from the advantages of the owner without assuming the disadvantages. You invite the people of your choice on board. You organize life on board as you see fit. You decide to extend or shorten the stopovers, to modify the program. Depending on the weather and the route, night sailing may be considered to allow you to enjoy stopovers and anchorages for longer. The total sleeping capacity and the safety equipment of the ship allow the accommodation of 8 people in offshore navigation and 10 people in coastal navigation. However, for the success of your cruise, for your comfort and to preserve everyone's privacy, Quetzal and its captain invite you to limit yourself to four people and use 2 of the 3 cabins. The prices are moreover studied to make accessible the privatization of the boat by a couple with child (ren), 2 couples of friends, etc ... However, groups or families of up to 6 people are still welcome. In this case the three double cabins and the forward toilets are reserved for your exclusive use. A 10% supplement on the rental amount to be paid on site will then be requested. In this configuration the captain uses a berth in the saloon, separated by a curtain. The captain is in charge of maneuvering, navigation and technical maintenance of the boat. If you wish, he will share his knowledge with you in the areas of your choice: maneuvers, navigation, etc. He participates for his part in collective tasks. At anchor, he drops you off ashore and comes back to pick you up for a walk or a meal at the restaurant. YOUR CAPTAIN I have been sailing for 35 years. More original (and probably rarer ...), I have all the qualifications required by French law and by all insurance companies. I am also insured for civil liability for this activity up to 10 million euros. I am also an approved trainer within the framework of the 200 sail captain's certificate which is, to date, the only certificate allowing the role of skipper in a legal framework, on a rented sailboat or on a sailboat. of owner. It is undoubtedly not a guarantee of the good humor of the captain or his sense of conviviality but the absence of this certificate exposes you to enormous complications at the slightest incident. Apart from my skills, my experience ... and my good humor, I assure you total discretion before, during and after your cruise. You be the judge ! I am available to answer all your questions and get to know you better before boarding. Sincerely, Charles. THE PROGRAM OF YOUR CRUISE It is established according to your wishes and taking into account the composition of your crew. The weather, in summer and in the Mediterranean, rarely hinders projects but can lead to some adjustments. We discuss it together before departure. You choose to privilege navigation under sail or the time spent at anchor. I guide you and I advise you but it is you who decide. The sailboat is not just a means of transportation. Sailing under sail can bring as much pleasure to the helmsman as to the reader of a thriller comfortably lying on the deck (library on board). Are you drawn to white sandy beaches? Do you have children? The program is adaptable for everyone's satisfaction. Nap lover? You will be rocked and fulfilled.
