Yacht charter in La Rochelle · Chantier Philippe Harlé — Kelt Marine (1979)
Description of Stéphane's sailboat
Sailboat Chantier Philippe Harlé Kelt Marine 6.2m
It is a 6,20 m sailboat, equipped with its sails including a spinnaker. Navigation devices on board: GPS, portable VHF, sounder, speedometer, automatic. Equipped with automatic life jackets: 2 children and 3 adults. And all the obligatory safety equipment for coastal navigation (hand fires, fire extinguisher..) Its capacity is of 5/6 persons, but for more comfort we limit to 3 adults + skipper (possibility of adding a person if there is a child at least). We regularly go out with our family to sail in the Breton channel, the safety net allows us to have children on board in complete serenity. The kelt has a good seat and a wide enough space that is safe and pleasant even in strong winds. It is also suitable for more sporty outings, but remains mainly a cruising boat. It is ideal for beginners and advanced sailors. The area accessible from the port of La Rochelle is particularly pleasant and varied, with the three islands (Ré, Oléron and Aix), Fort Boyard, and on the Vendée side, the Lay, a small river that is very pleasant to sail up. It is possible to swim, a small ladder is available on board. Our son had bought this sailboat to live on board, but he quickly changed his mind and we finalized the payments he had left pending. We then decided to drive her to the small port of Marans to refit and sell her, but immediately fell in love with this little boat that was so pleasant to sail. Since then, we have been moored in the port of Minimes, the largest marina in Europe, which has the advantage of being able to go out almost at any time without worrying about the tides. We use it for our pleasure, and also to give courses given by Stéphane, your skipper, who is a qualified sailor and in possession of a merchant navy diploma and trainer for boat permits. We will be delighted to welcome you on board and let you enjoy all the advantages of this adorable little boat! Translated with (free version)

Overall rating
A very well-calibrated day trip, adapted to our expectations and our level, and what's more we were able to learn to read the gusts in the sea: classy!
Very nice experience with Stephane on his boat. Educational and passionate, he knew how to take young and old in this discovery of sailing. A big thank you! Patrick
