Yacht charter in Nice · Pursuit — 3400 "express" (1999)
Description of Francesco's motorboat
Motorboat Pursuit 3400 "express" 750hp
A beautiful American motor boat, queen of fisherman boats. Being a boat born for ocean-going deep-sea fishing, it has huge outdoor spaces in the cockpit and throughout the deck. For "cruising" use, during our refit that we completed at the end of 2021, we have prepared the boat to be as comfortable as possible, adding large sunbathing mattresses on the bow deckhouse and on the hard top roof. The beach allows a very comfortable access to the sea. It is the perfect boat to spend unforgettable days at sea and quickly reach the pre-established destinations. Fast (maximum speed 35 knots), safe (built in Florida to navigate the Atlantic Ocean) and comfortable. Perfect boat for parties at sea, barbecues and events. Obviously it is also perfect for deep-sea fishing trips and is fully equipped for this purpose too. (Diverging rod holders, live water tanks, bait preparation area, etc ...) Consumption is limited (at cruising speed of 25 knots consumes about 70 liters per hour). On board there is hot and cold fresh water and an 800watt stereo system. The boat also operates a taxi boat service. During a day trip, you sail on average from one to two hours and therefore the total consumption of a day is on average between 70 and 150 liters of diesel. The price of a deep fishing day with professional equipment is 2500€ total, fuel included.

Overall rating
We chartered the boat with 9 people + skipper for a 4h trip. It was absolutely amazing and we highly recommend them. Thanks a lot for this unforgettable experience!
Excellent time with Luigi. He offered us great alternatives for our wonderful day on the sea. Had a great time!
We loved it! Great experience, nice boat, fun spots to stop and enjoy! Captain was super nice and helpful! Francisco helped with the entire trip!
This was the most stressful and unprofessional booking I’ve ever had. Francesco added another contract the night before, charged us €300 more for fuel (despite confirming in writing on click&boat that our price included all costs), and then screamed at me over the phone when I asked for a simple written confirmation before handing €600 in cash to the skipper. We were already out at sea and felt completely trapped. To be fair, the skipper was kind and professional, but Francesco’s aggressive behavior ruined what was meant to be a surprise celebration for my friend’s wedding. We ended up paying far above the agreed price. Francesco Piras: The charter contract is mandatory in order to carry out this activity, and the one we use is of a high standard—it’s the MYBA standard contract, which is likely the most widely used worldwide. Even on Click and Boat, it is clearly stated that a formal charter contract will be provided. As for the fuel, our listing clearly states that fuel is not included. I’ve never had a client be surprised or unhappy about the need to pay for fuel—it's a consumable good, and as stated both in the contract and in the listing, it must be paid for based on consumption (the consumption rates are listed in the description—just read it). I did not raise my voice on the phone; rather, I was confronted aggressively by you simply because you did not want to pay. Regarding the receipt, of course I can issue it without any problem (followed by a formal invoice), but only once I have actually received the payment. You were asking for a message confirming receipt of the funds before I had actually received them—obviously that doesn’t make any sense. In fact, as soon as you handed over the money, I immediately sent the receipt. I'd also like to point out that you sailed for around 4 hours and therefore consumed over €300 in fuel, but due to the issue with the embarkation port (which was not our fault), I decided to give you a discount on the fuel cost. Given how things turned out, I now realize that was a mistake. In 15 years of business, I have never experienced such a situation or such an attitude from a client.
Francesco was great! Super-responsive, nice and easy to work with. I would definitely reach out to him again for any boating experience.
Brilliant from start to finish. Highly recommend. We had a fabulous time and Francesco was informative, entertaining and a great host.
Excellent day! I would definitely recommend again. We had a fantastic time !!
Francesco was amazing and my friends and I had a wonderful time on his boat with his company.
Boat as described. A very pleasant sea trip.
They usually provide towels, and I would have liked to know a little about each island we passed through.
All perfect
