boat hire in Marseille · Jeanneau — Sun Fast 32i (2002)
Description of Denis's sailboat
Sailboat Jeanneau Sun Fast 32i 9.5m
this cruiser-racer benefits from a beautiful interior volume, thanks to the generous deckhouse in height and width. Outside, the space in the cockpit is also satisfactory for two or three crew members. The mainsheet bar is easily spanned by the helmsman and the two winches (from the 32 ST) located on the deckhouse offer the crew all the space necessary for their manoeuvres. On the coaming side, comfort is guaranteed whether you are wedged on the teak slatted benches or on horseback, upwind or downwind. The same goes for the team members on the abseil, a little further forward. The bottom of the cockpit - very wide - receives a central wedge which allows you to wedge downwind. it is very soft and above all balanced at all speeds. The interior fittings are almost identical to those of the Sun Odyssey 32 Going down the companionway, two adjoining doors on the port side provide access to the large aft cabin and the bathroom. If the space of the latter is sufficient, there is the kitchen opposite, rather well equipped with cupboards and which even has a cooler and a refrigerator. A little further forward, the saloon (asymmetrical) consists of an L-shaped bench facing another bench which adjoins a voluminous cupboard. Five people can fit around without getting in each other's way and will also benefit from a good headroom. the boat is equipped with a very fuel-efficient 20 hp inboard diesel engine (reconditioned to new in 2018) and does not require a licence. However, you will be required to have browsing experience. The boat is moored in the old port of Marseille (very easy to access by public transport) ideal starting point to discover the bay of Marseille with its islands or a little further the famous creeks or magnificent anchorages. waiting for you … And if you want to push further towards Les Embiers or Porquerolles or see Corsica, no problem, the boat is very suitable for week-long cruises and equipped for semi-offshore

Overall rating
We had a great time exploring the Callanques. Denis's representative was very thorough showing us how the boat worked. The boat is well equipped, sails well and can be easily sailed single handed.
A wonderful week aboard Valérian, thank you Denis!
Superb navigation, the Valerian is very pleasant to maneuver and Denis is very accommodating.
Very good boat and owner available and attentive on a superb body of water. I would happily rent this boat again!
Valerian is a superb boat, proudly showing its age. We were able to enjoy the region, cruising at a good pace. The boat is easily habitable for six adults. Taking a tarp can be a good idea to compensate for the lack of a tau. Denis was very friendly and helpful during the cruise.
Boat that works very well in light winds as well as in more sporty conditions, Denis is very attentive and responsive, comfortable for 2 people despite the mattresses being a little tired
We spent 5 wonderful days aboard Denis's Sunfast 32i, departing from Marseille. It's a very seaworthy boat, both efficient and reassuring. You can tell it was made for sailing! The comfort on board is perfectly adequate for a cruiser-racer: comfortable mattresses, a well-appointed boat, ideal for a short cruise. In short, a pleasant, reliable, and pleasant sailboat to sail. Denis was very available and accommodating, a real plus. Thanks again!
The charter went very well. Denis was available to advise us on the weather and answer all our questions. The boat handles rough weather very well and easily cruises at 5 or 6 knots in all conditions.
We had a great time on a boat that was efficient, well-equipped, and pleasant to sail. However, previous charters left some surprises: sticky dishes, used coffee left in the coffee maker, and more.
Great boat! I recommend!
It's a sailboat that keeps its promises, good value for money for our cruise! Denis is available and responsive.
Denis is very available and accommodating, and the boat is clean and in good working order, very pleasant to sail. Thanks again!
Very good, very fast boat, well equipped for racing and cruising. Welcome, Denis responsive to all questions.
Denis is very nice and Valérian is a good boat, fast and pleasant to sail. The perfect combination to have a good time at sea.
Denis' Sun Fast is well equipped and comfortable. The boat is old, but it is very well maintained. I would rent again without any hesitation, it is always a pleasure to sail between Marseille and Port-Cros. Too bad we didn't have enough wind to take out the spinnaker that Denis left on board VALERIAN. See you soon
Denis was very accommodating in a complicated context linked to the arrival of the Olympic flame in Marseille. These constraints led to the need to present the boat on video and this was done in a very complete and educational manner. The boat runs very well and we appreciated the obviously recent and neat fairing. The on-board equipment is complete, classic and functional, so it is very easy to get to grips with. The storage is designed so that you can logically find everything in its place. The annex inflates easily and its electric motor is very practical. The folding rear shelf is a very pleasant little additional comfort. The boat is not new but the care taken in its maintenance allows it to be navigated in complete safety. And then this coast is so beautiful!
Denis' Valerian conforms to the description, the boat is no longer new but clearly well maintained, almost everything is functional on board. It is also well equipped, particularly in terms of safety equipment. The engine runs well and the rigging is in good condition. As a bonus, good location on the Old Port.
I spent 3 days aboard the Valerian with friends and my father who trained us in sailing! Great experience, Denis is very accommodating and briefs us well on his sailboat. It was a great time, thank you again!
Very good cruise with Denis I recommend !
Denis is excellent regarding the welcome, also very accommodating regarding the management of our car in the heart of the old port and the reception and return times. The main sail and some ends are tired but Denis plans to change them. We spent a great week sailing between the creeks and the islands of Hyeres. The old port is a key place to enjoy the North African districts of Marseille, which compensates for the inconvenience of parking. The aft cabin is not comfortable for two adults but the saloon has a real berth, another smaller one, and the hammock on the boat is a good compromise in good weather.
Very good boat. Dénis was very pleasant and available.
Magnificent body of water with the Calanques, Cassis, Embiez and Porquerolles easily accessible in a week's cruise. The Sun Fast 32 performed well in varying conditions from 0 to 25 knots. Friendly welcome from Denis who explains his boat well and adapted to our schedules. Disappointment on the absence of electric windlass while its presence had been confirmed before the reservation.
Great boat and great owner. The boat is comfortable and well maintained. The exchanges with Denis are really easy and made it possible to prepare our arrival well and to have a grip, even at a very suitable distance. Do not hesitate to rent Valérian and took full advantage of the bay of Marseille and the creeks!
Very nice week aboard Valerian, the boat is going really well, and Denis is cool and pro. with a mainsail reef + a genoa reef, with 15 knots of wind - All fun, the tiller is reliable and you can feel the sea well - The engine responds well -
Very good welcome from Denis, very accommodating on the departure schedule. Very good boat
Great experience on a very good boat!
Boat very well maintained, sailor, good walker and well equipped. Mooring (old port) and sublime lake. Owner accommodating and very available. We spent a fabulous November weekend between Marseille and Cassis. To be redone as soon as possible.
We sailed 4 days with Valerian. The boat is very well maintained and the navs are a real pleasure. Denis helped us take control of the boat and was very responsive when we had questions. I will not hesitate to rent this boat again!
Denis is a great landlord who listens to us and is always reassuring. the boat is in good condition for its age and works very well under sail as well as with a motor, the departure from the old port of Marseilles is magical I recommend this boat for rental very good value for money Lawrence
We had an excellent extended weekend on board. Being moored in the old port of Marseille is really great. Owner's boat with the important advantages that go with it: boat equipped and maintained for sailing, beautiful sails, and in addition it works well. And there are a few related drawbacks: a lot of equipment on board which we don't use over a long weekend, and the fact that the owner's choices are not necessarily the same as those I would have made (a matter of taste and temperament).
Very good stay on the boat of Denis who was very available! To redo
Great owner, boat in very good condition!
Very nice experience on this boat well maintained by a true amateur who takes great care of it. Denis was attentive from our first exchange until our return, and everything happened in an atmosphere of trust. I recommend without reservation and will gladly rent this boat again.
Excellent sailing weekend on Denis' boat. Very seaworthy, very well equipped and as advertised. Departure from Bandol very appreciable. A repeat without hesitation!
Great experience. Booking was confirmed quickly and pick up was easy to arrange. The boat is a real owner's boat with the million little details that show someone uses it often and is constantly working to improve it. We were impressed by the ease of maneuvering in port and the comfort at the helm even with two reefs and 25 knots. A great boat for cruising around Marseille / Bandol / Porqueroles. Thank you Denis - We hope to come back soon!
Despite a mistral throughout the week, we were still able to sail and make 2 anchorages. The boat behaves very well in strong winds. A fridge breakdown in the middle of the week changed our plans a bit, but overall we had a great week. Perhaps it should be noted that there is no designated berth at the port of Bandol, which requires paying for overnight stays.
very seaworthy boat and pleasant to live. to be at the top the navigation equipment deserves to be improved.
Superb boat very well equipped with an owner at the top and available!
We spent 5 days at the top on this Sunfast 32 in the harbor of Marseille!!!
Excellent rental. The boat is well equipped, fast and reassuring. Thank you Dennis
