Sailboat charter in Toulon · Beneteau First 25 (1982)
Description of Anne Catherine's sailboat
Sailboat Beneteau First 25 7.5m
Hello everyone, Riou is a young old man from 1982! You can rent her for a day or several days. She is well equipped: - Yanmar 1GM 9hp diesel inboard engine - Electric windlass - Furling genoa - Portable VHF Inside: - Forward cabin with 2 berths and 2 bench seats in the saloon - Galley (foot pump) - Gas stove - All kitchen equipment and utensils - Toilet - Fresh water tank - No shower (solar shower bag) Condition: Mainsail in very good condition Genoa used but maintained But be careful! This is a boat that's not new, so no sailing in heavy weather... Halyards and sheets changed in 2023 Spinlocks changed in 2019 At the end of the rental, I will check the engine hours and calculate the fuel consumption based on this. (approximately 2 liters per hour, payment on site). The boat is equipped with a small gas stove. There is a cartridge: bring a replacement cartridge or refund if used (3 euros). Mooring at the Toulon Darse Nord port! PLEASE RETURN THE BOAT CLEAN (as well as the dishes, stove, toilet, etc.). I require experienced sailors who are comfortable in the wind, otherwise there's too much risk of breakage. So sorry, no novices. But no overly sporty driving! If the weather conditions are too harsh for the boat... I prefer it stay in port! Please note! I do not accept charters with only one person on board! Please feel free to contact me via the messaging service Click&Boat for any questions. See you soon, Anne Catherine

Overall rating
Great communication from and the owner. Had an amazing day sailing with great weather. Will definitely rent it again. Many Thanks Anne🙏
The boat was lovely for a days sailing along the coast. The check in was smooth and there was a good briefing.
We had a great day with Riou, who walks very well despite his age. Anne Catherine was flexible with the schedule, very efficient in handling the situation, and friendly.
SUPER all around... Well-sheltered Darse harbor Seaworthy boat Anchorage at Niel Good breeze We'll be back
The owner's availability and experience were a big plus when it came to handling the boat. Beautiful waters for cruising. A great time on the "RIOU" - THANK YOU
A wonderful getaway aboard this boat, where you immediately feel at home. Anne-Catherine is very welcoming and very accommodating regarding arrival and departure times. We were able to reach Porquerolles in 3 hours from Toulon with a good tailwind. The only downside was that the reverse gear didn't work during our charter, but this will no doubt be fixed soon. I recommend it!
The Riou is a good sailboat and its owner is very accommodating and precise during handling. This boat is ideal for short sailing trips and anchorages. However, some parts of the boat are in poor condition and could cause problems.
A very pleasant weekend near the Golden Islands. The First met our expectations. We'll do it again soon. Klod
A great family day aboard the Riou in good weather. The boat was easy to navigate, as was Anne Catherine! Everything was perfect, and sailing the Riou, this young and old, independently was a real treat!
Very pleasant stay on this Méhari of the seas. I highly recommend it.
Anne Catherine was very accommodating with departure and arrival times. The boat did its job. A pleasant stay on board
Great boat for the weekend, great welcome. I highly recommend it.
Anne Catherine was very accommodating in allowing us to rent her boat, which despite its age fulfills its mission perfectly. Well maintained boat, warm atmosphere, a real owner's boat. We went to Porquerolles for a three-day weekend with superb weather, a treat!
An old boat that lacks maintenance, but the owner seems to want to improve things.
Briou is a really nice boat for cruising the Mediterranean! Two magnificent days with splendid anchorages. The boat is as advertised and Anne-Catherine is accommodating on departure and arrival times.
Great welcome, flexibility and availability. THANKS
Very nice boat! Anne-Catherine is very accommodating! We had a great weekend! THANKS
Great welcome from Anne Catherine. Thank you for being accommodating on the dates, given the weather conditions. The boat is super pleasant to pilot and live with. It’s a small size, just the way we like them! But who has everything of a great one as Anne Catherine says. We will come back with pleasure!
Very pleasant boat for an outing and easy to take in May. . Thanks to Anne Catherine for her flexibility and navigation advice.
Ideal boat for a couple with children. Some adjustments to make but it is also a pleasure to participate in its improvement. We spent a wonderful day in the great harbor of Toulon. Do it again, pushing a little further!
We rented the boat for the day and it was perfect. A big thank you to Anne-Catherine for her availability and responsiveness. The boat is in its original state and will allow you to have successful days of sailing. We were two couples and had a wonderful time! We recommend !
The boat is old and it feels a little comfort-wise. It remains navigable without problems. The security elements are there. It's a small boat with a large rudder so it's quite easy to steer. We went out in 5-6 Beauforts and 1.5+m of short waves with 2 reefs in the main and 1 reef in the genoa to get through the waves. The boat was holding but we were a little shaken. The crew preferred to return to port. Given the weather, we weren't able to sail much.
Perfectly consistent with the announcement. A very beautiful day and Anne Catherine very attentive and available
Very accommodating owners, available and attentive. Boat in its ideal juice for our short stay around the islands.
Great boat!
Great little weekend on a very seaworthy boat. Anne Catherine was very accommodating. I recommend!
A very nice navigation aboard Riou, it is pleasant and works well although a little dilapidated. Anne-Catherine is very welcoming and available, I recommend!
Boat a little dated but which still works well and allows you to easily discover the surroundings of Toulon.
A very good welcome. A pretty little boat in good condition. Thank you Anne Catherine for a memorable moment and lovely memories. Recommended.
Riou is a great boat to sail. Some parts are a little old but are being replaced little by little. That doesn’t stop you from enjoying navigation at all! I recommend
Great boat! The welcome is warm, and the explanations are clear. Perfect boat for a few days of sailing in the harbor of Toulon, or towards the Hyères islands.
Good communication with Anne-Catherine, available and accommodating, as well as with her friend Alain. Riou is solid and well equipped, spacious, it feels like a much larger boat. In the wind it is very seaworthy, a pleasure!
Great boat for day sailing!
Despite her venerable age, Riou has lost none of her seaworthiness. Boat very well maintained and healthy. It turned out to be stiff on the canvas in 15-20 knots of mistral. Anne Catherine was very available for the handling of the sailboat, thank you!
A functional boat and good walker... 2 adults and 2 children on board it does The ++ for sanitary and technical installations around the boat Very friendly and honest welcome! Thanks alan enjoy life
We had a wonderful day at sea. The boat has charm despite its age and is in perfect condition, very pleasant to sail. Anne is a friendly host who really loves sailing. Only small drawback is the engine is a bit noisy and slow but just to get out and come back from the port it's perfect. thanks again
The boat lacks maintenance, the deck hatch is held by a wooden dowel instead of 3 plastic pins, the stove is not suitable for marine use, the ceiling is falling apart in many places. Finally, the tenants do not have empty chests to store their belongings. The engine and the sails are functional. Anne Catherine is responsive.
Boat that works well despite its age;) No complications or problems for pickup or return. THANKS
We had a great time aboard Riou! A boat without the hassle and super pleasant to sail. There is everything you need to have a good time with friends. For sailing and adventure fans, I recommend!
We were able to spend a wonderful weekend all the way to Porquerolles with the family! And that is priceless, thank you again!
Very pleasant trip aboard the young man, nothing that was not perfectly functional prevented us from sailing with pleasure. The boat was tidy, the explanations clear and the contact with the owners very friendly. THANKS !
We had a great time with Riou. The photos are correct. However, there are several broken elements that are replaced by a D system to which we must adapt. We feel that Riou is no longer very young but that is still part of his charm. Anne Catherine remains very available and accommodating.
Anne Catherine is very friendly, available, and responsive. Unfortunately his boat is hardly presentable, his age does not explain everything. It is sorely lacking in maintenance, everything is loose in the trunks, in the strong-smelling GO cabin; the toilets are not operational. Forget the nights at anchor. the maneuvers get stuck, it is better not to have to reef. the tack of the mainsail is not secure, the clew of the Genoa is torn, the furling system is working well. Fortunately, the engine starts very well but the propulsion is inefficient, perhaps three knots per flat seas, the shaft line vibrates strongly (alignment problem, too worn stub ring?), the probably too dirty propeller brews a lot of water. Despite everything, the day was beautiful thanks to the good weather.
An "old young man" very pleasant to handle on the water even in sustained conditions. We appreciated Anne Catherine's responsiveness and her availability.
Boat meets our expectations. Communication with Anne-Catherine smooth and fast. To do again!
Thanks to Anne-Catherine for allowing us to enjoy Riou during the day... a sailboat which is lucky to go out regularly. Very pleasant to manage, despite his age. Thanks for the easy welcome!!
Good boat for a quiet outing around the area
Super welcome and availability of the owner. Boat fully operational, with all the halyard referrals to the cockpit.
Boat in a very average state of maintenance. The topping lift broke during navigation, which made reefing maneuvers complicated. No navigation lights for night/anchor navigation. No storage available for our belongings, a lot of mess with the belongings stored permanently in the boat, for example multiple fishing rods in the forward cabin. Very dirty boat (layer of mold on the ceiling, very dirty bathroom, plates and cutlery poorly washed). Owner available to answer questions.
Great experience in Toulon thanks to Anne! Boat conforms to the announcement and to our expectations.
