boat hire in Meillerie · Mallard — Ecume De Mer (1973)

Two days of pleasant sailing in the northeastern part of Lake Geneva. Not much wind, but good weather and magnificent mountain views. We recommend stopping at the port of La Tour de Peilx ?

The boat was exactly as described. Basic comfort on board, but perfect for sailing. Communication with Olivier was very easy and helpful.

Boat in good condition and well equipped for sailing. Very good value for money. Olivier is friendly and gives good advice.

very pleasant rental

An excellent day spent aboard this magnificent sailboat, despite its age, it overcomes more than 13 knots, it is very balanced. Olivier, its owner, is open to discussion and he will explain very well the smallest details about the boat.

We had a very nice day in Meillerie. Olivier gave us a good introduction to the boat and then we were able to sail straight away.

Super!

Completely correct and functional sailboat given its age, no technical problems during the navigation, good behavior under sail. I recommend.

Olivier carefully showed us everything important on board. Was reliable and friendly. The sailboat sails very well and is intuitive to use.

The sailboat is showing its age and the comfort is Spartan; but the contact with the rental company is quite cordial, the boat is easy to handle, it goes rather well in light airs and the lake like the village of Meillerie are really to be discovered and appreciated.

Great weekend aboard this sailboat! Everything you need for a nice navigation on the lake. Location, condition, comfort and welcome are qualities! THANKS!

a little gem on lake geneva, old but good for sailors who don't value luxury equipment olivier is friendly and helpful

Excellent day, but too bad for the lack of wind. We had to sail with the engine. Apart from that, the photo no longer corresponds to the boat: it has been completely repainted in white! It's probably more subdued than blue, and more consistent with the boats you see on the lake.

Olivier was very welcoming. The boat met my expectations. Clean and well maintained. Ideal for day trips.

The boat is well maintained enough not to show its age, which makes the quality/price ratio excellent. The owner seems very experienced and gives the best advice for a week of great happiness, despite 3 days without wind. The port of Meillerie is ideally located (quiet: no partygoers) at the start of the wilder coast, the Swiss border (Saint-Gingolph for an exotic breakfast) and Evian where a certain number of restaurants are equipped with a pontoon. To do again!

A superb day aboard Olivier's boat.

Everything was wonderful and monsieur olivier is very personable and helpful dr.benninger

The essentials are there, the boat works well in light weather and the sails are in very good condition but there are plenty of small flaws: HS jib sheets, screws that protrude (under the bar stick) and which scrape the skin. , WC which is in fact a chamber pot, Swiss flag in rag, bungee cords of SGS baked by the sun, confidential interior lighting (bring headlamps) and an absent front fairlead (torn off) and the second rickety. Moreover, the fact of not having a remote control to reverse gear forces the helmsman to contort during which it is difficult to see ahead and to control the helm: inconvenient in a port. This boat needs more maintenance. Recommended for experienced people not afraid of a roots atmosphere.

Thank you Olivier for your welcome, your advice and your availability! Tomy Blue was the ideal boat for these few days of family sailing (2 adults + 2 children) on Lake Geneva! Good luck and see you next time!

Olivier's boat is of course showing its age. But it's easy to sail and maneuver. We had great days on Lake Geneva. The price / performance ratio was right and Olivier was personable and everything went very well. Gladly again.

Good advice from the owner which allowed us to have a great time. Thank you

Live and pleasant boat in good weather. Well maintained (except perhaps the electrical wiring) and very clean. Port well placed to visit the eastern part of Lake Geneva (the most beautiful, I recommend in particular a visit to the port of Vieux Rhône and the castle of Chillon). The PA has been very helpful. The appendix was missing but I didn't need it. Wc surprising but the port bucket and toilets were sufficient Very sober HB engine but a little tricky to start then to maneuver. Very small awning. Thanks to Olivier

Excellent sailboat boat, very well located, overall consistent with its description. Despite the charm of its home port, too bad the port sanitary facilities are so rustic ...

Nice day on board the olive boat. Top contact, welcome and information. Thank you for everything.

Good boat, thanks to Olivier for his welcome. A larger awning would have been appreciated by this heat wave! We compensated with sarongs and clothes pins (to bring) Great memories and very nice neighborhood! Experience to be repeated over a longer period!

We spent 4 magnificent days on the lake, the foam of Olivier's seas is perfect, easy to maneuver and very reactive to the winds. Its size (7.9m) allows access to many visitor places in ports. The cabin is very comfortable for sleeping 2 people. Olivier was very responsive from the start of the reservation, he looked for and found solutions for our arrival, it was very pleasant. We highly recommend this excellent boat-owner tandem!

Very pleasant stay.

Max is really very nice, we immediately got along well. I went on a coastal sailing trip for a week and the boat works well, it is well equipped with 5 headsails, the engine works well too but a little difficult to get down on its rail to put it in the water. (especially when there are waves). Just a few technical points to review but Max will take care of it. Stick on the helm, weather vane, marking of the sails on the bags, lowering the engine. The battery lasts more than a week to recharge the phone and power the autopilot. In any case I recommend, Max is very accommodating and trustworthy.

Super discovery of Lake Geneva thanks to this nice little "Écume de Mer" which is perfectly suited to small cabotage. The boat sails well, in it is livable with a good height under bar, two people sleep very well. Olivier was charming and very accommodating in postponing our rental for a day due to the weather. The handling went without problem.

Very friendly and available, Olivier has a reactive sailboat that is very pleasant to maneuver. Very good rental on Lake Geneva. I highly recommend...

Nice boat, well maintained and easy. Simple handling and clear explanations from Olivier. Better for the day in my opinion. Super value for money.

Olivier and his wife are friendly, uncomplicated owners who know the lake well. the boat is spacious, comfortable and steers easily, well clothed, it advances quickly. Note at the port very clean sanitary facilities, a welcoming restaurant and the staff are helpful. 2 pleasant days for a first navigation on Lake Geneva.

3 very pleasant family days spent with 2 teenagers. A little cramped for 4 people but sufficient for 2 nights. Allows a different view of the lake, in peace, without going through the overloaded Ferrys. The small port is nice but think about shopping before.

a boat in good condition, an accommodating hirer, accommodating and punctual, the conditions are right for an excellent cruise on Lake Geneva. I highly recommend

Very nice day Easy to navigate boat

A perfect sailboat for lovers of adventure on the water, with everything you need on board. An uncomplicated rental to spend a few very pleasant days on this superb lake where there is always wind ... we will come back!

Good boat, the lake is splendid, the port is bucolic and Olivier who was not did everything possible so that we could set sail. Thanks again !

Excellent weekend on the boat. It is doing very well - we had the opportunity to test it in a very changing weather: from perfect calm to a small storm. Welcome and very useful instructions; we would gladly come again :)

Super boat, works very well even in very light weather with spy. nothing to say. We are just hoping for a little more wind for the next time in order to discover the lake more. See you soon cordially Cédric

We rented for 3 nights and enjoyed the family boat. Olivier is friendly and communicative.

Very warm welcome from Olivier at the port of Meillerie, sailboat conforming to the description, for a pleasant family day out on Lake Geneva

Old boat but very pleasant in all weathers. 3 days of very pleasant sailing on this magnificent lake! Olivier is very available and friendly. Unbeatable value for money!

We rented this boat with the family, everything went very well, Olivier explained the operation of his sailboat to us very well. Nothing to say.

Nice owner, boat in good condition and very well equipped, lake full of resources, excellent nav!

A functional sailboat in a very nice harbor. Pleasant and relaxed welcome from Olivier.
