Description of Nicolas's sailboat
Sailboat Gibert Marine Sangria Gte 7.6m
**Charter available from 2 days** Zorba is a Sangria GTE sailboat built by Gibert Marine, with a draft of 1.60 m. Completely refitted during the winter of 2024-2025, it is now ready to offer you comfortable and safe sailing off the Vendée coast. It is equipped with a mainsail, a genoa, and a symmetrical spinnaker, to adapt to all wind conditions. In terms of comfort, you will find on board a 55L water tank with an electric tap, a new marine toilet, a fixed and portable VHF radio, a Bluetooth car radio, a fast USB-C charger (PC and phone), as well as a GPS plotter, an autopilot, a depth sounder, and a speedometer. The boat can accommodate up to 4 people overnight: two berths in the forward cabin and two in the saloon. It is equipped with all the safety equipment required for coastal navigation, including four automatic life jackets. Zorba also has a rigid tender moored at the Port de la Gravette, as well as an inflatable tender on board for your anchorages. It is positioned on a mooring, accessible at any time except at low tide during high winds. Only a two-hour sail from Noirmoutier or La Baule Bay (Île des Évens), it is an excellent base for exploring the coast. A 25-meter mooring chain with 15 meters of rope is provided. Harbor master shuttle tickets can also be provided upon request.

Overall rating
A great two-day sail: round trip to the Isle of Yeu (departure at 7 a.m., downwind). Zorba is a well-maintained boat, very easy to handle and safe, even for a near-solo sail with three children aged 8 to 13. And the cherry on top: Nicolas was super accommodating despite our late arrival at the port, taking us to the boat in the dinghy, with a headlamp! Thanks again, I recommend it 100%!
A wonderful cruise aboard Zorba! Nicolas has a beautiful boat, well renovated and maintained. The equipment (engine, GPS, VHF, gas, electrics, etc.) is impeccable. The boat is pleasant to sail and moves well. It's also easy to handle because everything is marked and neatly arranged. Thank you to Nicolas for his welcome, his availability, and his kindness. I recommend it!
The three of us spent a week aboard this sailboat, which has been completely renovated. The sailboat sails well, even in light airs, thanks to its large genoa. It is equipped with several modern comforts, such as an autopilot, new bench seats, an electric faucet, and modern hardware (self-tailing winch, etc.). I recommend it!
Very good boat with a beautiful 12 knot sail towards Noirmoutier. Nicolas is very helpful and attentive to the quality of his boat.
