Max's boat is easy to handle, comfortable, and well-maintained for its age. Everything works well; this little sailboat is ideal for exploring the Golden Islands. We just spent a wonderful week together! Thanks, Max, we'll be back.

Hello everyone. We had a great stay on Castagnole, a truly enjoyable sailboat, both to sail and to live on. We spent 4 days with 4 adults, both in port and at anchor, in one of the most beautiful sailing areas, to boot! The simple pleasures of sailing, without any fuss. Thank you, Max and Amandine, for your kindness and availability. Fair winds.

Castagnole is a great little boat, rustic but efficient. Everything is functional, and nothing was lacking during our three days around Port Cros. Max immediately put us at ease and took the time to explain everything. Thank you!

Nice meeting with the owner and the boat. Castagnole is an amazing little boat for its age. It allowed us to do some beautiful roots navigations up to 25-28 knots of east wind and a good swell. To be preferred when it is not raining.

Hello, Castagnole is a pleasant little sailboat, ideal for 2. The level of equipment and its size make it more of a sailboat for day trips or even overnight stays at anchor (no fridge, lighting to be reviewed, WC being installed, etc.) The outboard motor runs well. The place at the port in Bornes les mimosas is practical and well located - clean sanitary facilities. A few areas for improvement: - Mark the headsails in order to get the right one out the first time - review the engine fixing cable so that it does not damage the fuel supply - put a logbook to record outings + instructions. - Review the autopilot connector (at 2, it would have been nice to be able to let go of the helm in a light breeze) -Exterior (position, road,..) and interior lighting to be reviewed -a little lack of utensil (coffee maker, glass, ...)

Close to sanitary facilities and attractions. Boat easy to maneuver and easy access to creeks but the sails are to be revised. The owner is available and accommodating.

Boat with the charm of the 80s, ideal for coastal cabotage and navigation without electronics (large chart table with Breton reporter). 3 sizes of rigging to navigate comfortably up to 4-5 strength. Spacious interior, with plenty of storage, ideal for a week to 2 in fairground anchorage. Owner very friendly and available, nice meeting.

Sailboat well maintained and well equipped. Spacious interior for a 25-foot sailboat. Max is very friendly and accommodating, we strongly recommend his boat. My wife and I were two on board and had no trouble navigating, ideal for the coastal walk or to go to the islands of Hyeres. A remake !!
