boat hire in Hyères · Jeanneau — Sun Dance 36 (1989)

Caracole is a fantastic boat. Extremely functional and allowing for complete autonomy. It allowed us to cross the Mediterranean to Corsica with our children. A few minor setbacks during the trip (what can you expect, Caracole is quite old but still going strong ?). And Aurélien remained available, no complaints there. We will cherish the wonderful memories of this trip! ?

Great rental with a boat perfect for a great week of sailing. There were 8 of us on board and the space, although small, is very well optimized. Aurelien is a reliable charter company who responds very quickly. I highly recommend it!!

Great sailboat (sailor-designed, well-equipped), great owner (friendly and very available) but - and to compensate for the other favorable comments - some serious flaws: capricious pilot - who gave up under sail and engine. This takes away a good dose of serenity from the start. Turning light broken, not great for night sailing. Capricious engine start (nothing serious, bad contact at the key but a little sweat in the middle of the night when 25 knots, unannounced and freshening, come to pull a little on the anchorage). Old engine, which smokes quite a bit, the helmsman, forced to steer (due to lack of pilot) smokes with him ?. Nothing serious and the vacation was successful. But I didn't expect that, and if I had known, I would have chosen differently. Ps quite a few rusty or damaged kitchen utensils, some even dirty - another slight disappointment - also manageable and surmountable ? Good luck to all!

Aurelien is adorable, knowledgeable And always ready to help and be of service. Everything works well on board and the equipment is excellent. Thank you for your welcome, your generosity, and your trust. We had a great stay, but it was too short. We will be back.

Great stay on Aurélien's sailboat. Quite easy to navigate, very well equipped. Effective organization and communication. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Aurélien is a very welcoming and pleasant professional. Caracole is a very accomplished sailboat, self-sufficient in terms of power, quite fast at the start of the season (recent refit), and well-maintained. Only the engine hour meter surprised me a little, showing 6 hours on a weekend when I only used it for harbor and windlass maneuvers... As for the rest, I recommend it!

Very good stay on Aurélien's boat, very friendly and accommodating charterer.

A very pleasant stay aboard Caracole, which has lived up to its 36th birthday. The boat is safe and the owner is friendly and attentive to the customer. I would definitely recommend it again.

A very warm welcome. Aurélien is very friendly and accommodating. The boat has been used a lot, but it's still functional. The dinghy is practical, with three cabins, spacious, and very, very welcome wind protection! A great week with the family, with six tall people ;-) Thank you Xavier

Very well maintained sailboat and excellent communication with Aurélien

All very well. The boat is not brand new....

Aurelien is friendly and available. Sailboat from the 90s conforms to its description but certainly very functional and comfortable (pleasant saloon, well ventilated, practical kitchen...) and moreover autonomous... to recommend without any hesitation.

We had a very good trip on Caracole between Hyères, Porquerolles and Port-Cros. Caracole is well equipped, safe and easy to use. Great contact with Aurélien who knows how to make himself available and gave us good advice on making our navigation plan. In summary, very happy with this rental!

Great boat, comfortable and very well equipped for navigation! We particularly appreciated the super practical cockpit, the solar panels and the wind turbine for the tranquility of the electrical consumption, the comfort of the cabins - (we felt comfortable with 7 adults), and the annex within reach of hand. A big thank you to Aurélien for his welcome, and his clear and super responsive communication. We had a great weekend and enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the Hyères Islands in the best possible conditions.

Very nice two-week stay in Caracole. The boat holds the sea well and is very well maintained. He has a lot of experience but that doesn't stop him from being a very reliable adventure companion. Thank you again Aurélien for your warm welcome and your availability!

Thank you for the warm and attentive welcome from Aurélien on a Sunday! The sailboat is quite original with its engine centered in the saloon which facilitates maneuvering in reverse. The hard top was much appreciated in the windy anchorages and on buoys in Porquerolles. The solar panels + wind turbine allow you to leave the fridge permanently, for cold beer it is essential. I recommend !

Very pleasant stay aboard Caracole, a very safe, well-equipped and well-maintained sailboat. Aurélien is very friendly, responsive and available, and gives good advice. In short, that's good!

Aurelien was really kind and helpful. Excellent communication, no problems checking in and out. The boat is a few years old but is well maintained, it has an offshore past and has now been converted for peaceful pleasure. Recommended for a fantastic holiday in Porquerolles!

The sailboat is in its original state, but robust and well appointed. Aurélien was accommodating and very nice. The area is beautiful. (PS: watch out for the weekend market in the racecourse parking lot!)

Caracole is a super traveler, equipped for the high seas, very endearing. Negotiating waves under force 6 to 7 at wide reach and surfing with a tiller is a treat. We rented him at the end of the season (October), he yearned for rest. Aurélien is very available, as endearing as his boat.

To rent with your eyes closed.

Thank you Aurélien for your welcome, your explanations and your trust, we had an extraordinary time for this first with friends!

A great week in Caracole. Perfect welcome and communication with Aurélien. The boat is old but well maintained, consistent with the announcement and previous comments. The navigation area is splendid!

Aurelien is very cool, and the boat is compliant, it is well maintained, we feel safe, I recommend without hesitation

Very nice boat with its vintage look. Aurélien was great and made our lives easier from pick-up to return. To do again!

Aurelien helped us a lot in choosing our trip, I recommend it.

Aurelien welcomed us very well for 5 days on the boat! We had no problems and he was always there to hang up for help if needed!

Very good stay on board Aurélien's boat, excellent communication and a good source of information. Complete equipment and very seaworthy boat. Just one flat on the mainsail which is coming to the end of its life.

Super boat for a family cruise, very pleasant life on board as well as navigation. Aurelien is always available and really nice!

Excellent experience with Caracole, ideal long weekend between Porquerolles and Port Cros. Aurelien was on top, responsive and super adaptable. The boat is fully consistent with the description and comfortable to discover the area. We hope to return soon and recommend Aurelien with pleasure!

Aurélien is very pleasant, responsive to messages and gives good advice. His boat is perfect for a small or large group to discover Hyeres and surroundings

Aurélien is very available and correct, responds quickly. The boat is as advertised. We had a pleasant stay.

We spent 15 wonderful days aboard Caracole. It's a great boat that you quickly get attached to. Aurélien is extra. He is very available and gives his energy and his time with generosity. THANK YOU BOTH !!!

Old boat but in good condition, maintained, a condition that rivals much more recent sailboats. Apart from the missing black water tank, equipment well above average. In particular, a huge annex suspended from a very practical gantry. In addition, the boat is very well ventilated, in the middle of summer we appreciate it. Sailing boat (3 reefs) and engine, in port maneuvers. Aurélien very nice, responsive and cool. In the end, a very good value for money for an atypical sailboat.

Aurélien is very nice and the boat is practical for a cool vacation.

Very good boat well equipped and safe. We spent a great week with 5 people around the islands of Hyères. Aurelien is very nice and flexible. I recommend this boat

A big thank you Aurélien, for your welcome, your listening, your advice, we had a magical time on Caracole, a solid, efficient and easy boat, very well equipped. One word: great!

Perfect weekend spent aboard Caracole. An incredibly equipped boat that will allow you to make sporty or more leisurely outings to discover one of the most beautiful French lakes. Super welcome from Aurélien, very friendly and accommodating, he takes very good care of his boat and it's a pleasure to sail on it! A real rare pearl!

Caracole is a charming boat. Its level of interior maintenance and practicality are really pleasant. Many small quality modifications made by Aurélien which really simplify life and make it a really pleasant boat to maneuver and live in. Aurélien's welcome was professional, cheerful and accommodating. We had a fantastic weekend, we will definitely come back to Caracole to do it again. Thanks again !

Caracole is a boat for sailors prepared with passion by a sailor. The equipment is complete and of high quality. The sets of sails are in good condition and efficient (Kevlar genoa, regatta spinnaker). Aurelien's welcome is super nice. He did not hesitate to drive us to pick up our shopping at the drive! I recommend this boat for those who like to sail.

Nice boat well equipped. Renovation work planned.

We had a great 4-day stay on Caracole, very well received by Aurélien. The boat conforms to the description, full of small tailor-made fittings, the boat is well equipped. Definitely to do again!

Robust boat but a little dilapidated, the sails are tired. Aurélien is very friendly, flexible, available before and during navigation and made us feel very welcome. Thank you so much !

really good my 2 team members were delighted with their reflection next year you take us to Corsica

Very good weekend

We just had a great great week! Top boat, top owner! I really want to thank Aurélien for his great availability before and during our cruise. I highly recommend, do not hesitate!

Super boat very comfortable and full of ingenuity. 3 days on board is too short, we just have time to get our bearings, but it's still a great experience. To do again!

Caracole conforms to the description. It is a well equipped and well maintained boat. I recommend it without hesitation.

Aurelien... at the top! He pulls out all the stops to rent his boat in the best conditions, weather, maintenance. I recommend

Super welcome from Aurélien who remained very available before our reservation. He gave us very good advice for our navigation plan. I recommend it with my eyes closed!

5 stars and I did not add the kindness of the welcome and the availability of Aurelien. And it is a boat for those who like to sail further than the aperitif-port-glaïlleuls. I won't add any more for fear that too many people will take advantage of it.. Thank you

Aurélien is really friendly but also very available and accommodating. We were delighted with our weekend

Super boat and very pleasant to navigate. Aurélien is very nice. I highly recommend!

Aurélien is very available. The boat is well equipped. The renovation carried out inside is very nice. We recommend this boat. Had a great week in Port Cros Yann

Great stay from start to finish! The boat is very nice and well maintained. Aurélien is very available and attentive. We will be back!

The boat is very well equipped, and the reception at the top. Aurélien is always available on the phone if you have any questions. We had a great time and I will surely go back with this boat!!

Aurelién is super nice, he gave us good ideas for excursions and the Caracole is a very comfortable boat to navigate! We did a short two-day tour and we can't wait to do it again!

Superb rental :-) Nice boat to sail, comfortable and very well equipped. Aurélien, its owner, is very welcoming, accommodating and very serious about the maintenance of the boat. Everything is well organized there. Perfect for sailing comfortably and independently for a few days at 6. Little extras that we appreciated: USB sockets and fan in all cabins, and even in the cockpit. Bluetooth speaker built into the ship, good autopilot; Dinghy in position and well sized, releasable forestay. The nice look of the boat; It will be necessary to be vigilant on the consumption of fresh water, but without restricting ourselves, we were autonomous 3 days, at 6. I recommend !

The boat has been modernized (electricity, interior redone) Aurélien is available and accommodating for pick-up and return times. I recommend.
