The inverter broke down on the first day. We contacted the owner, who sent us a repairman we'd never seen before. Fortunately, we're sailing in a squadron; we were able to sail all week. However, we're forced to tow the boat when entering and leaving the harbor. Difficulty contacting the owner during the week to find a solution. Difficulty contacting the platform to find out how to handle this malfunction. What recourse is available? Fortunately, the boat wasn't rented to a family with children; safety would have been lacking. In conclusion, a very complicated week with this boat. A boat made to stay in harbor.
A pleasant boat designed for racing. Effective in light airs and stable in strong winds. A few small details to sort out (waterproofing at the foot of the mast, 2 reefs to rig) but otherwise a superb week spent in the straits.
We spent two days with wind and sea (force 4/5). The boat took on water through the leaking strakes. The bilge pump was not working (safety issue). The steering wheel stem has play and could break (second safety problem). We also had a problem charging the engine battery while dockside (sic). The boat lacked maintenance (no dinghy inflator => no dinghy, wrong log and anemometer, tired spinnaker sheets, missing screws under the saloon table and cockpit lockers, missing saloon lighting, washer broken bridge, ...) A positive point is that the sails (genoa, mainsail and spinnaker) are of good quality.
Very good boat, very nice sails, fully equipped, we had a great weekend on board. It is not a new boat, we know it by renting it, the boat is very well maintained, thank you Michel
Everything went very well. Nice and comfortable boat. Only one reservation, the person designated by the owner told us on 07/07 that he could only check-in on 07/08 at 2:30 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. as provided for in Contract Click&Boat. For the check-out scheduled for 14/07 at 10 a.m., the person contacted by telephone and SMS remained unreachable from 9 a.m. The owner contacted by phone, learning that there had been no breakage or loss, offered to leave the boat, leaving the key in an agreed place. We did so at 10:30 a.m. informing the owner.
Michel is a very friendly and rigorous rental company, who gave us all the information before our rental. His boat, MAERO is very well maintained and equipped, we really enjoyed sailing on this SunFast 37. I recommend it without hesitation!
Boat meets expectations. Good communication when picking up. Sporty and very pleasant sailboat.
Beautiful sailing last week with the family of 6. The boat is comfortable, well equipped and tidy, in good condition. The exchanges by email and telephone before and during the rental were efficient and accommodating. La Rochelle opens up a beautiful space for maritime discoveries. Thank you Michel, Philippe and Jules!
