Yacht charter in Le Barcarès · Dufour — 30 Classic (1999)

Very tolerant sailboat, very well maintained, with Patrick very available, Beaufort 6/7 and 1.50/2m waves without being scared

Agape is a boat that sails well. We spent 3 pleasant days on board. The mainsail is well-worn, the genoa is in good condition, and there's no downhaul. It has a beautiful symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnaker locker. Unfortunately, over the 3 days we were there, the weather didn't allow us to play with it. The engine was spotless. Comfort-wise, the cabin mattresses are also a few years old. The galley, fridge, and toilets are functional, and the solar panels add to the range. The boat is clean. We were informed two days before the charter that the electronics were broken. The screen was broken. It happens, but there's no speedometer, anemometer, or GPS depth gauge, and the paper charts are out of date, which doesn't add up. Otherwise, the equipment is fine. Easy welcome and communication with the owner. Good value for money for a pleasant weekend.

Excellent rental, very good communication with the owner. The gentleman who greeted us on arrival and departure was very friendly. The fish finder was broken during our stay, but we used the GPS without any problems, and the owner later explained the issue and how it was repaired. Great communication! Have a great weekend!

A very enjoyable stay on Agapé between the Pyrénées Orientales and Spain! Patrick takes excellent care of the boat: the safety equipment is complete, the engine runs very well, and the sails are in good working order (including the spinnaker). He gave us a warm welcome and gave us a good introduction to the boat. In conclusion, a functional and reliable vessel, perfect for a few days of sailing with friends! Thank you, Patrick, for entrusting us with Agapé.

Thank you Patrick for the good times we spent on board with my daughter thanks to your sailboat. It was a great discovery for her. See you soon maybe :) Cyril

Patrick guided us very well on how to handle Agape, which is a very pleasant sailboat both at sea and at anchor. The place at the port is very practical with the possibility of parking the vehicle at the dock for free. Highly recommended. We will be back very soon.

My first surprise was the number and quality of the documents provided by Patrick. It was very reassuring to see all the inventories and procedures very practical. On the boat, every chest is numbered and it is very easy to find what you are looking for. In addition, the boat is very clean, perfectly maintained and very well equipped, with a large Garmin screen outside which displays everything you want (but which doesn't make the coffee though). Finally, this little Dufour 30 works very well on the water, in light airs, or sustained fresh wind. We had a great weekend. Thank you and see you soon !!!

Very well maintained boat, very well equipped,… very pleasant. Warm welcome and owner available and good advice. The only thing missing was the engine from the annex, but the oars did the job!

The boat is excellent for a cruise for 4 or 5 people. It is very well equipped. Remarkable is its canvas surface and its splitting. The boat is well balanced. All outside, it's doing 4-4.5 kts at full throttle in a wind of 8 kts; and holds 8+ kts under main 2 reef and jib 2 by force 7+. Excellent cruise with a wind force 2 to 7 and a beautiful frame to sail.

The boat is very well equipped. It is in very good condition and very well maintained by Patrick who is hyperavailable and responsive. The windlass failed us and Patrick came on Saturday to take it apart and see what was wrong. We could see that the Dufour 30 worked well in light airs and was very pleasant in the breeze with a reef or two. Christopher

Very good boat, well maintained. Rental company available and competent. I recommend !

Patrick was always available. Didier, on site, showed us the boat, it was very good and we feel that the handling is well established. It's reassuring. A few small maintenance issues (lazy bag at end of life etc.), but nothing that prevents you from having a great time! Moreover, most of the subjects seen are known to the owner who has already planned the repairs. A boat that I recommend.

Great boat, very responsive owner, to do again!

There's everything you need to have a great week: a great boat and a great owner. Thanks for everything Patrick.

Many thanks to Patrick for his welcome and attentive follow-up, as well as to Didier who checked us in. In rough sea conditions, the boat proved to be healthy and efficient, as well as the next day in a shorter time. It is well maintained and well equipped, in short, it's great!!

The boat is well maneuverable and responds well. Patrick is very available and accommodating as well as Didier who welcomes us with flexibility and kindness.

Patrick and Didie have been very kind and friendly the whole time. A pleasure and certainly recommended.

We had fun!!!! Super boat! Pleasant to navigate and to live on board! Organization of Patrick and Didier at the top: Schedules, checks, communication. We will gladly rent it again!

We had an amazing weekend! THANKS !

Patrick's boat is very pleasant to sail and fast for its category. Patrick is very available. We were 4 on board and we were comfortably seated. The boat has everything it needs, a few minor technical problems that Patrick is fixing. I recommend renting for 4 or even 5 people by squeezing a little.

Thanks to Patrick the very friendly owner as much as available and to Michel for his friendly and punctual welcome to the pontoon. The Dufour is definitely a good sailboat. Good general equipment, to rent without hesitation.

Patrick is accommodating and available. Didier, who welcomed us, is also very friendly.

Owner listening. To recommend.

Super boat, safe and fast. Very well maintained and clean. Spinnaker and staysail on releasable forestay. A high quality owner by his welcome, his communication, his benevolence. The organization of the boat and the ease of handling it are exceptional with a boat Keeper in the image of the owner: great. I recommend and I will return. Thank you Patrick and beautiful navigations in Agapé!

We had an excellent stay on Patrick's boat, which well deserves its title of super owner: he explained to us perfectly how the boat works and answered all our questions during the stay, always very available and gave good advice. The boat is very well maintained and works well in light or heavy weather with 2 reefs in the sail. I highly recommend this rental.

Patrick is very proactive/active in the interaction. The on-site reception and boat transfers with Didier are very fluid. Agapé is a slightly older boat but well equipped and in very good working and maintenance condition.

The boat and the equipment are perfect for sailing, nothing is missing. Sufficient space to accommodate 5 people on board. Patrick listens and responds quickly to any questions you may have. Arrange if possible.

We spent 3 days on the Agapé! The only thing we regret is not having had more time on the boat! The boat behaves very well at sea! Patrick is very available to help and advise! We totally recommend renting his boat! Thank you again for this great adventure! Roman and jb

Owner very friendly and available. The boat is not a racing beast but very comfortable.

Super owner, communicative, attentive to the tenant and to his boat that doesn't seem like he's going to leave you stranded, a fast and reliable boat ready to spend a few days in comfort and tranquility.

Very good boat. Very well maintained. The owner is accommodating. I recommend !

The initial phase went very well, good communication, detailed checklists, flexibility on dates, very low price. Taken care of by a boatkeeper, (which did not facilitate the continuation), it is a good very seaworthy boat the sails and the fittings are in good condition, the engine (very little used 3 liters of diesel over 4 days ) worked perfectly. Comfort level is spartan but correct when you sleep in port. Small incident at the level of a water leak in the oil of the sail-drive (which came out of overhaul) which caused a dispute, quickly settled however through the site.

Very well equipped and maintained sailboat. Patrick is a very considerate and attentive owner. I recommend !

The Agape is lovely and easy to sail ship. We had wonderful days on the Mediterranean and are looking forward to a next trip. The communication with and the tips from Patrick were very helpful.

Patrick's boat was on top! Patrick is very present to give advice and in case of problems, which is very appreciable. I recommend !

Owner caring, comfortable and scalable ship, very good value for money Experience to renew

Patrick and Didier are very available. Very nice home. The boat has a very good behavior at sea, it is rather well equipped for coastal. Thanks a lot you two. I recommend

Very good, Patrick took care of us perfectly, he was attentive to the meteorological evolution w

No problem with the boat and Patrick was available by phone if there was any doubt. I recommend

Very well, everything is in accordance with the presentation, the boat is well equipped, the Dufour 30 is easy, sailor ... a safe bet for coastal cruising ... Patrick is pleasant, flexible and accommodating, and knows his boat well. I recommend.

Patrick is very present by email sms before and during the rental period. His boat is well equipped and very well maintained. That fun. Thanks again.

Great stay on Patrick's boat, which is moving very well and which remains reassuring even in a Force 7 with rough seas, and which is comfortable. Great welcome and advice from Patrick on the navigation area and places to go.

Very warm welcome by Didier and ultra fast communication with Patrick for the instruments on board. Recommended for a pleasant coastal trip for two couples even at 20 knots of wind because the reefs are very easy to take.

We spent a wonderful weekend aboard the Agape sailing towards the Costa Brava. Communication with Patrick was great and the boat is in excellent condition. The only thing to report is the sonar instrument not working (we had to use the manual one), but I'm sure Patrick will fix it soon.

Super happy with this rental! Owner at the top and available, boat in perfect condition and sailing very well. Thank you !

nothing to say. all consistent. we had a good ride.

The agape is very pleasant both at sea and at the quay. Very easy contact with the owner who is accommodating. We highly recommend.

Patrick was very decisive and his boat is magnificent. It has everything very well equipped. I recommend sailing with the Agape. The experience was fantastic !!

Our day trip went very well The boat was in great condition and very clean

Daily rental on a good, well-equipped and well-maintained boat. Good communication with Patrick even from a distance. Experience to renew.

We had a great time on board. The boat and the owner are top notch. Thank you very much for making us have this memorable time

Patrick was particularly available and flexible. This sailing enthusiast gave us a lot of advice and did everything to make us have fun and thus make these few days of sailing exceptional. Experience to be renewed without reservation.
