Sailboat Beneteau First 35 10.7m
Hello everyone, I'm offering my 1980 sailboat for charter, completely refitted since November 2022. This First 35 is a very seaworthy sailboat, especially when sailing upwind, and can accommodate between 6 and 8 people for enjoyable sailing. It has 3 double bedrooms, 1 bathroom/toilet, and a saloon with 3 single berths. The sailboat has an L-shaped galley (oven/gas stove/fridge). Plenty of storage space is provided, with a very large chart table. A large locker aft of the cockpit will be very useful. You can sail around Toulon, to Cavalaire, Saint-Tropez, and as far as the Calanques de Cassis. Sailing to Corsica is not permitted! It is also very well-equipped and fully self-sufficient, with two solar panels, a spacious 130L refrigerator, and 390L of fresh water (two 220L water tanks + 150L under the saloon benches + a 20L hot water tank).

Overall rating
Excellent week aboard the Aïa. Very good communication with Emmanuel, always very good advice. I recommend!
Great week on board.
Perfect
Emmanuel's sailboat is old but very seaworthy and pleasant to sail. Emmanuel is very accommodating and attentive if necessary. The week went well on Aïa. We sailed and anchored on Porquerolles Port Cros Hyères and at the Garonne. Toulon is a very good starting point for all these destinations.
Great boat, well equipped and easy to sail. Very comfortable, we spent a week on board with 4 people without any problems (we could have been more without any problems). Emmanuel is very available and full of good advice. The boat has all the necessary equipment for life on board as well as for sailing. We will happily return to this boat.
Great week with the family aboard Aia! Emmanuel was very welcoming, facilitative, and available. The boat is as described with the great advantage of solar panels for total autonomy in electricity throughout the week.
Sailboat as advertised, Emmanuel took the time to guide us in handling the sailboat, we spent a wonderful week on the Aia.
Excellent stay aboard Aia 2. Beautiful boat, seaworthy, fast for the comfort that reigns on board! Charming interior. Excellent cruise for 6 friends for 1 week to Marseilles and its Callanques. Emmanuel super accommodating for arrival and departure. The best!
We had a great week on Aia! The boat is of its age but it is very well maintained by its owner. Aia is efficient and completely suitable for a week of family cruising. Amazing sailing area!! The engine unfortunately failed on the last day but Emmanuel was very responsive and allowed us to return to the port safely. He was also available to us throughout the cruise for any questions. I recommend !
As there wasn't much wind, we couldn't get a precise idea of the boat with a bit of a steady wind. In addition, having had a problem with the toilets (due to human error, the equipment was not defective) we had 2 days less of navigation. We have not experienced reefing, sailing at all speeds... We were still able to sail under sail but with a light wind. The boat behaved well It is solid and inspires confidence We found this boat to be well maintained but showing its age It is very well equipped: large water cows, water heater, small fans... The use of water cows is simple. Emmanuel, you took time with us to show us the sailboat. Emmanuel listened to us when we had to deal with the problem of the toilets. The annex was not in very good condition but Emmanuel reimbursed us for the costs incurred to repair it. A flat compared to the button of the windlass which is not protected enough in my opinion. There must have been some kind of cover that prevented people from stepping on it and the guide from starting to work, which happened to us. (I had made an extra turn of the chain around the windlass as advised, which blocked the assembly well) The windlass works well. The engine runs well. We enjoyed the anchorages and swimming from the rear deck. That's what I can say. Patrick Joubert
Boat as described. The boat is quite old but has been well renovated and equipped by Emmanuel. Friendly welcome. I recommend.
Excellent sailboat well renovated. Very nice home. Great availability on the phone during the cruise. Very comfortable bimini and new sprayhood. Very complete general equipment. Sails in good condition.
We spent a pleasant week aboard Aya, the first 35 refitted by Emmanuel at the start of 2021. Very pleasant under sail and a high-performance engine, it has nothing to envy to new boats in this area. Aging interior but Emmanuel has done what is necessary to provide all the necessary comfort on board.
Offered by Emmanuel
J’ai acquis mon premier voilier en 2009 avec un Daimio 23 pieds pour me faire la main durant 3 années. Ensuite en 2012, je l’ai revendu pour m’offrir un Jeanneau Aquila que j’ai gardé 8 ans. Et depuis septembre 2020, je suis l’heureux propriétaire de ce First 35 que j'ai entièrement rénové en 2022. Un plaisir de naviguer avec, un confort et la sensation d'être en sécurité par tout temps en font un voilier d'exception pour l'époque. D’autre part, j’ai loué régulièrement des monocoques et catamarans lors de mes séjours à l’étranger sans skipper. Notamment le DUFOUR 405 et le SUNSAIL 444. Quelques régates également en J80 dans la rade de Toulon à mon actif.
