Sailboat charter in Marseille · Dufour Dufour 410 Gl (2013)

!!! ATTENTION !!! Due to issues encountered with recent rentals, we will only accept rentals for a MINIMUM OF 3 WEEKS, which will be offered at a very advantageous rate. Thank you for your understanding. !!! ATTENTION !!! True Blood is a very nice 2013 Dufour 410 with 3 cabins and 1 head. It's our family sailboat, which we sail during the month of August, but we don't have the opportunity to use it year-round. It's a very safe and comfortable sailboat. The spaces are huge for a 41-footer; the exterior, in particular, is very pleasant. Equally at ease at anchor or at sea, it's an ideal boat for 4 to 6 people. We will leave all our equipment: mask, snorkel, paddleboard, and a kayak for 4 people (two adults and two children). No dinghy on board. With the kayak, you can explore, go to the harbor for shopping, and access any beach, even those where motorboats are prohibited. Equipped with solar panels and a wind turbine, the boat is energy self-sufficient. During the month of August, we never connect to electricity. In addition, 360 liters of fresh water and a black water tank allow for extended stays at anchor. The galley features a gas cooktop and oven, and a large refrigerator. There are three cabins with 160x200 cm mattresses and a small fan in each cabin. One saloon converts into a berth for two people, just in case. Outside, the cockpit benches convert into sunbeds, with custom-made outdoor cushions: perfect for relaxing in the sun. Once the aft deck is open, a vast, completely unobstructed space provides access to the sea and allows you to fully enjoy your anchorage. At the bow, there's also a large sunbathing area with an outdoor cushion. All the necessary crockery and kitchen utensils are provided for your comfort on board, even plastic wine glasses. For sailing, the autopilot, fully battened mainsail, and furling genoa (with a reefing strip, so no risk of over-sheeting!) make sailing much easier. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday on the water... Please note that no cleaning fee will be charged if the sailboat is returned clean; otherwise, a cleaning fee of €200 will be charged. Sheets are not provided but can be exceptionally added for €150. Finally, since we have the pleasure of regularly enjoying our sailboat, we leave quite a few belongings on board: board games, basic groceries (tea bags, canned food), a sweater and trousers, a hat or two... I'm mentioning this so you won't be surprised; it's not a completely empty professional charter boat. We prefer rentals for a minimum of 10 days, with the option of arrival and departure on Mondays and Wednesdays to avoid weekend traffic. A discount is offered for rentals of 2 weeks or more. The sailboat is located in Port Ferrières, in the heart of Martigues, the "Venice of Provence," 40 minutes from Marseille. Free and easy parking is available right next to the boat. For those arriving by plane at Marseille Provence Airport, the L38 bus will take you to the sailboat in 30 minutes for €7 (the same time and price as going to Marseille by bus). For those arriving by train at Marseille Saint-Charles train station, the L34 bus will take you to the sailboat in 35 minutes for €5.50. A long, comprehensive explanatory video on how the sailboat works can be provided upon request or by searching "True Blood Discovery and Operation" on the most popular video platform.
