Boat rental in Almería · Beneteau — Oceanis 321 (1997)
Description of Jose Manuel's sailboat
Sailboat Beneteau Oceanis 321 10m
My boat is a Beneteau Oceanis 321 sailboat of 10 meters in length, it is a boat conceived as a pure cruiser, very stable and noble to navigate comfortably and safely, it performs well in almost any condition, although it shows its best ways with winds through the fin . It has a 30 hp Volvo Penta engine that allows it to maintain a cruising speed of around 6 knots when there is no wind. The mainsail and Genova are furrable so the maneuver of hoisting sails is simplified enough, just pull the sheet so that the sail unrolls from the inside of the mast and comes out towards the outside. Sailing like this is child's play! It has a large awning that covers the entire bathtub, with the possibility of adding another extension by means of zippers when it is anchored to have much more shade on summer days, and in the center of the bathtub it has a table folded into two parts that it can be removed and put on in a few seconds so it doesn't get in the way when not in use. With capacity for 10 people in navigation, although ideally, to sleep I recommend a maximum of 5/6 crew members depending on whether children are traveling and the days you plan to be on board, to ensure a pleasant and comfortable vacation. It has all the possible comforts in this type of boat. The interior stands out for its great habitability, really when we do life on board, the sensation that is perceived is that of being in a boat of a much higher length, the space is really well used. It has two cabins, one at the bow and the other at the stern. The bow is the typical cabin with triangular-shaped bed mats and is perfect for two people. The stern is huge because it is arranged in a transverse way and occupies the entire space of the bathtub. It is what draws the most attention when you visit the boat for the first time, 3 adults can sleep comfortably without touching each other. In the central part of the boat, there is the dining table that opens in several parts so that all the diners they can sit comfortably around it, the two stools that are at each side, are the ones that also serve as bunk beds when night falls. For the rest, it has a large kitchen with gas stove and oven, refrigerator, microwave and all kinds of kitchen utensils to spend a few days on board. It also has a bathroom, small but enough to comfortably use the toilet, take a shower or change clothes. It has an electric water heater that works at both 12 and 220 volts, so you always have hot water available even if you are anchored in any cove. The exterior has many amenities to spend the day on board and enjoy sailing. The seats are made of teak wood and also have cushions that can also be moved to the bow of the boat and form a fantastic solarium.

Overall rating
The owner was communicative and professional. However the skipper was disengaged: He wasn't at the boat when we arrived and wasn't picking up calls nor answering messages. He didn't want to sail where agreed. In fact, he never sailed (only used motor) although we explained several times we rented for sailing. He had no idea how to put on music or use radio. He didn't take out cushions till more than half way into the day. I'd write more but running out of space.
Jose Manuel’s boat was well maintained and easy to sail. We had a fabulous time sailing around the Cabo de Gata. Slightly older boat however it is in great condition and handles really well. His response to any questions we asked was good. We met in person on the first day of hire and he could not have been more helpful . I would heartily recommend this yacht and the Cabo de Gata was a beautiful place to sail around !!
Everything was perfect. 200% recommended. If I come back here, I would definitely come back.
José Manuel was very pleasant. Communication was easy. 100% recommended.
Everything was very easy with Jose Manuel, with quick communication and very convenient check-in and check-out! The sailboat sails well, has good sails and navigation electronics, although it's a few years old and can be seen in some details like the anchor and the battery status, but we were given the necessary instructions for its proper operation. We took a day trip through the Gulf of Almería with the intention of crossing to Cabo de Gata, but with light winds it's a bit far, so we stayed near the beach in Almería.
Great time! The boat is exactly as shown in the photos. Communication with José is easy and Ander is great! I recommend it.
Communication with José Manuela has been fluid throughout, providing every facility for the delivery and return of the sailboat.
The boat is old and full of junk, and he delivered it late and it was so dirty that he had to call a cleaner. To top it off, we had a problem with the battery that prevented us from sailing and we couldn't leave the port. Jose didn't even bother to come and fix it or send anyone. I had to file a complaint with Clik andboat and I don't rule out that we'll end up in court.
The booking was very smooth and Jose was very kind and gave us confidence. The explanations about the particularities of the boat were very adequate.
From the first minute, even before renting the boat, with all the questions we asked, Jose Manuel was very kind and made things easy for us at all times. Then, once in the bathroom, he helped us with everything, and made us have a great day.
The best thing is dealing with José Manuel. His kindness and flexibility, and his teachings about the different systems of the ship. The boat is very good, although it has some details that already need renovation. The balance of the experience is very positive. We will repeat
Jose was very attentive from the beginning, making everything really easy. The boat is very comfortable, clean and maintained.
Everything was great, José Manuel explained everything perfectly to us and gave us many facilities for delivery and return of the boat.
I have liked sailing with Jose Manuel's boat, and he has also been very kind to us. The boat is not a modern boat, we already knew that, well maintained but with some small shortcomings. The comfort on board is that of a 1990 boat. The kitchenware is scarce, we miss, among other things, a coffee maker, if you are only going to spend one day it is more than enough. The navigation was more than correct and the sails were in very good condition.
All perfect. The boat is just as described in the advertisement. The owner is super punctual, very accessible. Without any problem. All facilities.
José Manuel is a wonderful setter, very attentive and attentive at all times. The boat is great, and well maintained. Without a doubt we will repeat.
Everything is great. The boat is very equipped and in magnificent condition. Jose Manuel is charming and has helped us with everything. I would repeat without a doubt! A ten!
Communication with the owner has been excellent and he has done everything possible to make things easier for us and make the experience perfect. It has more than met our expectations. The skipper is outstanding and it has been a pleasure to share sailing with him. We will repeat without a doubt.
The boat was very well kept and we had a great time. Jose Manuel very attentive and professional. We will repeat without a doubt.
It has been a very rewarding experience. The boat is quite good, although it has some maintenance problems. The best thing is the treatment and the sincere, clear and precise explanations of the owner. José Manuel has been very kind and very flexible to admit changes at the last minute, due to the weather. We will repeat for sure with José Manuel and his boat
Everything has gone perfect with José Manuel, we have had a great family day. We will repeat without a doubt. Thank you!
Fantastic
We had a fantastic day. Very comfortable. Jose Manuel a fantastic uncle. We will repeat.
It's been a great few days in the Davaje. And José Manuel, super nice, explains everything about the boat and he helped us a lot. 100% recommended
Jose Manuel was a patron of 10! Very nice, friendly and close. We had a rough morning in the sea, dizziness and jellyfish sting included, but he kept his cool and made sure the rest of the day was great. We were very happy with the treatment and he also took some beautiful photos of us!!!
José Manuel is great, we rent without a skipper and José Manuel is there to explain what you need from the boat. The truth is that very very well ? The boat is very good, easy to maneuver sail. sure we repeat
Everything has gone very well. Excellent communication with the owner. Recommendable.
Thank you for this stay, we spent 4 beautiful days aboard the Salvaje, Excellent reception and communication!
A very attentive person to everything that makes things much easier.
Good experience. The state of the sea did not match, there were waves, but José Manuel was very attentive at all times, doing everything possible so that we had a great day. He explained a lot to us about sailing in a sailing boat, you can see that he loves it, we were able to check the handling of the boat with a raised sail, and despite the waves we took our good baths, the water was great. It will be necessary to repeat when the sea is calmer, and thus enjoy it in a different way. The pattern of 10.
We had a great time! I recommend.
It was a perfect day in every way. José Manuel a 10 and his boat the same. Next season we will repeat for sure
It was a great experience, 100% recommended
Unbeatable! Jose has been super friendly and decisive in the face of any possible unforeseen event. The boat one pass and the spectacular departure☺️
All ok
Jose Manuel, your wonderful boat. recommendable
Thanks to José Manuel for being able to navigate his sailboat. Until another. Thanks
We have spent a day 10. The boat was clean and cared for, the skipper has been charming and has taken us to places we did not know. We will repeat for sure. Thanks for a day to remember!
All perfect. Very friendly, honest and willing. He gave us all the facilities and we had a great day. I would repeat without a doubt.
Jose Manuel is a wonderful person. You can tell he loves his boat. He takes very good care of it and has taken care of us at all times. The boat has it in perfect condition. Too bad of the bad weather that forced us to return to port earlier than planned. I hope to be able to sail with him again, one more time.
An excellent experience with José Manuel, very attentive at all times. The boat is great, very comfortable and manageable. Highly recommended.
The boat in perfect condition. The owner was very attentive and took great care of us. Worth
