We had a great day trip on Yanns boat. Sails and boat are in very good shape. Lake Bourget was very nice for sailing and swimming.

We had a great time sailing Lac du Bourget on Yann’s boat for 4 days. The boat is comfortable and well equipped with new sails. We would love to return some time!

Sadly the boat was not what advertised. We were given a different and older vessel than the one in the contract. There was no working toilet on board, and we were told to use public toikets at the dock, impossible with young children at night. Nightmare. It wasn't very clean on arrival. Be warned, as once your onboard neither the owner or clickandboat will offer any resolution. On the upside, he let us bring our dog on board and we had some very pleasant days of sailing and swimming on the lake.

We had a really great day on the lake. Yann is a nice man to deal with, excellent communication and very prompt. The boat is over 40 years old so has a few cosmetic scrapes, but everything works well, it has new sails, the engine started first time. Would definitely hire it again. Thank you.

Fantastic welcome, trustworthy and accommodating, thank you! The boat offers everything you could possibly need for the day, handles well, and the relatively short boom provides a pleasant cockpit while minimizing risks in case of a jibe. Admittedly, it's neither a modern racing-cruiser (sleek with plenty of sails available) nor an offshore cruiser (with a hot shower and high headroom), and that was perfect for today's outing on the lake!

A superb day on Lake Bourget. The sailboat is easy to steer and easy to trim in any wind, especially with the furling mainsail and genoa. The sails are new, which is really nice for a rental boat. As for the owner, Yann is cool and accommodating. Excellent value for money! Definitely a repeat.

A wonderful day on the lake aboard this Aquila, which, despite its age, offers excellent service. We were greeted warmly at the pontoon for instructions and a tour of the boat. We appreciated the boat's maintenance, the sails, the deck hardware, and the swim ladder! We'd definitely do it again.

Great boat. We received a very warm welcome and were able to get some tips on the mast furler, leaving the harbor, and handling the engine. There wasn't much wind, but the four of us still had a great time. The boat is easy to handle and very agile. The anchor is light, which was enough for us because the weather was mild, but be sure to keep an eye out if the wind is blowing; I think it can drag quite easily on the lake floor. The furler is very practical; just one person needs to accompany the sail at the foot of the mast, and it becomes child's play.

A very nice day on the lake, with a well-maintained boat (new sail for example). Warm and informative welcome. The whole crew benefited from the responsiveness of the boat in the storms of force 4 ?

Excellent day on Lake Bourget. The Aquila is a good spacious boat. The square is very pleasant. The cockpit is a bit small when everyone is there but that didn't bother us. The sails are new, it’s a treat! In terms of equipment, all I would have missed was the depth gauge to be able to approach the beaches without tightening our buttocks. The boat is impeccable, I will definitely rent it again!

The boat has a lot of wear points. However, it is pleasant to use on the lake (strength 0 to 2). The main thing is there. We had a great weekend.

Great stay aboard Vincent's sailboat for 2 days, 3 people. The handing over of the keys was very well managed by Vincent's entourage. Boat conforms to the photos and description, very cozy and comfortable. 2 people in the forward cabin and another in the saloon. There were pillowcases, extra heating if needed, fridge. I recommend to discover the lake of bourget.

We spent a long weekend aboard Vincent's boat. With two adults and three older teenagers. It's not very big, but it's ok. The boat is clean if a bit dated. The relationship with Vincent is clear, simple and spontaneous. The engine runs well and the helm is very nice. For the handling of the sails, it is necessary to scrupulously follow the advice of Vincent who works to make the rigging more fluid and safer. A few parts still need to be changed and the Fantasia will be a very pleasant little boat to discover this magnificent lake in complete peace of mind. Close proximity to the harbor master's office and the showers.

Great day aboard the aquila even if the wind was slow from time to time. The boat is in good condition, the engine runs very well. I agree with Sébastien's comment on the genoa, but the boat is pleasant to sail and the welcome from Vincent's dad was very warm.

Very good experience overall. The boat still has some faults that could be detrimental: torn genoa, water outlet valve blocked open, 1 winch out of order, soapy spillway water. Communication with the owner at the top. Port services very good.

To sail on the Lac du Bourget, this boat is suitable, however it lacks equipment such as a depth sounder. The engine runs well but the throttle is not very progressive We had a problem on the way back, we had the wrong breakdown, we had to back up but a wind shift pushed us onto the other breakdown during the forward passage. reverse, it was difficult to get free and we hit other boats, the port manager made an observation Anyway, a big thank you to Vincent and his Dad, they are great C.Rosier
