Overall rating
Good morning, We spent 6 days aboard Fiona and Pierre's boat. After a few hours of Nav, bad luck for us, the engine let us go and we returned to Quiberon. (After a few adventures and thanks to the help of friends who towed us to the port for free). Fortunately the next day a super mechanic whom we called urgently restarted the engine, which was loaded with bacteria at the level of the filter. He also took the opportunity to top up the oil, because the level was extremely low. After negotiation with Pierre and thanks to the precious help of customer service Click&Boat, we were reimbursed for the days of Nav lost and we were able to enjoy 4 days of Nav without additional worries. However, when we got back from the boat, we had a complicated exchange with Pierre, who blamed us for certain things that were missing on the boat or damaged (wrongly). So for the next ones who wish to rent this boat, in order to avoid any misunderstanding: don't do like us and insist on doing a complete inventory (our was done in just 15 minutes which really surprised us). Also agree from the start on the place of return of the boat, because we had misunderstood each other with Pierre and we all had to change organization at the last moment. Despite this, once the boat was back in motion, we were able to navigate correctly and it is a very seaworthy boat, but which is of a certain age, hence our adventures.
Good welcome from the owner, good solid, reliable and very seaworthy boat. Some essential "DIY" things to do all the same (toilet pump, winch, etc.) Good experience overall
Great family cruise aboard Elmer. Sailboat that sails well, robust and spacious, even if it has a few years on the clock. Nice owners.
Friendly and accommodating owner, comfortable boat on which it is pleasant to sail. Some details for maintenance to review, but overall consistent with the description. Thank you!
The boat is not new but well suited to family, rustic and friendly sailing.
Pierre is super accommodating, but take the time to check the water and gas levels before leaving ;-). Otherwise great boat, good walker, good sails (spinnaker)..
A pleasant navigation aboard the First 405. Accommodating, flexible and friendly rental companies. Thank you and good continuation.
The boat although a little old (1987) is very suitable! Holds very well upwind, less well downwind (because of its era)! Be careful for the Edhec Cruise Race, the sail number not appearing on the sail, we are disqualified at each regatta... too bad
Very good rental, very nice and accommodating owner
Lunaflo is undergoing refurbishment, sails just been changed, the veigrages are new. I have no doubt that Pierre, the owner, will continue in this way to give a beautiful youth to First. Meanwhile the bunks are a little stiff, the elec a little weak, a plotter would bring a lot. The engine is vintage, it runs like clockwork but loses oil and gas oil must be evacuated. the boat is very healthy against sea with its 2.2m draft is a good walker. Pierre is very friendly and accommodating to facilitate the schedules of departure and arrival. In the end we had two very good weeks to 9 Lunaflo. I re-would praise with pleasure André
Very nice boat, a real treat!
Boat very seaworthy and comfortable. Good walker and secure given the weather conditions we had. The sails are new and well cut. No worries for us on this vacation, just a little extra care side cleanliness is a plus. The owner is attentive and knows his boat.
Great boat, great memory!!
It's an old boat that has its quirks (eg, winch, engine) and an output of some technical harbor (lock Arzal mouth of the wicked without the card on board). The boat owner should take more seriously the maintenance of his boat, the fact of the trust and take time to communicate its operation. A tour of the boat closer to the state of fixtures seems essential. The sails are actually very tired, she décousent by location. Housekeeping on board had apparently not done. The dishes were dirty. The cabins were full of dust. We had the impression of having to insist to achieve a state of the place of exit with the owner at the end of our stay. This did not seem to take seriously our remarks (cleanliness on board, windlass problem almost empty gas cylinder, cards ...). This lack of support for the handling of this boat was due to some stress. For these reasons we do not relouerons this boat. That does not stop us having a good weekend with friends. The navigation area is beautiful.
