Overall rating
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.
Many thanks Yann, for the great day we spent on your boat!! We will come back!
Vincent was great and met us at the boat explained everything and the flexible return time. We had a great day sailing. The week before the weather was not good and he let us move the booking a week forward.
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!
Very well-maintained boat, and very easy to sail. Perfect. Please note that it is not possible to anchor overnight at 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.
The boat completely met our expectations.
Very well-maintained boat. Very professional welcome and advice from Yann. We had a great day.
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 people who welcomed us were very kind. We had a pleasant time on the boat. We will not hesitate to take this boat again if we come back. Philippine and her friends.
Great contact with Yann who places all his trust in you. And delivers you a boat with all convenience and comfort for a dream moment. Many thanks and see you soon.
No problem having this boat Unfortunately I did not set sail Warm welcome and good advice, I recommend the boat to Vincent.
Excellent weekend spent on Vincent's boat! Vincent is very friendly and gives good advice!
disappointed with the boat.
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.
Perfect ! Vincent is very friendly, available and accommodating (thanks again for the postponement because of the weather and for the dog :-)). Great communication. Nothing to say about the boat, everything was perfect. We can't wait to come back and explore the lake on the advice given by Vincent :-) thank you again and see you soon
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 pleasant for the day.
Organization, efficiency and perfect availability of Vincent. Exit and entrance to the complex pontoon place but with the accompaniment no worries. To do again.
We had a great time on Vincent's boat. It is well equipped and in fairly good condition for its age. Redone.
Very nice outing, the setting is splendid! Easy port exit, and the boat maneuvers well! The genoa is new, but deserves a small adjustment for optimal operation. In short, great family outing!
The boat is just a bit older. But it sails well and the engine is reliable.
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.
Great welcome from Vincent! We had a great time on the boat. The cockpit is pleasant, the interior is rustic and not very comfortable, some safety elements are missing.
Thanks to Vincent for his sympathy and availability. The relationship of trust is established immediately. The boat is ideal for a trip on the lake.
Very pleasant boat in navigation. We spent a pleasant afternoon on Vincent's sailboat. We were greeted by his very friendly dad.
Vincent is a very friendly and very cool rental company. The sailboat is showing its age but sufficient for a night on board for 4 and a trip on the lake. to redo
I was very satisfied with the experience, I have nothing to say.. the weather was not too favorable for us and the complicated maneuver on arrival, but good experience because I only knew the classic engine, not the engine sailboat .. Thank you to you in any case it was a pleasant moment. JMarc
Great one day sailing with often gusty wind The boat is comfortable in navigation and at anchor The interior is very well maintained, the rigging deserves a little refreshment to improve performance but for a quiet navigation it is more than enough Thanks to Vincent for his welcome To redo
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
Great welcome, great outing, spacious sailboat a little in its own juice but PERFECT for sailing on the lake, swimming and having a great time. Moreover, Vincent knows how to welcome his guests. Nothing to say, frankly, I highly recommend. To do again!! ?
Vincent is great, kind, attentive, and very attentive, I recommend him.
Vincent's boat allowed us to spend a great day on the lake. Very comfortable and spacious, the engine runs perfectly and the interior is clean! We haven't had any wind all day, we'll be back for sailing.
Vincent is very friendly and accommodating, and the boat is comfortable. Still a little maintenance to do on the rig (some tired halyards and winches), and it will be perfect!
Comfortable boat, we had a great day on board. Vincent was very welcoming and available to us.
Thank you Vincent for this very nice stay aboard your sailboat! Boat in good condition, and Vincent is very available! I recommend ++
