Boat rental in Geneva · Beneteau — First 21 (1999)
Description of Veronique's sailboat
Sailboat Beneteau First 21 6.2m
The first 21 is a small monohull, with Spartan equipment but perfectly suited to day sailing. (It is not equipped to spend the night on board). The boat is only available for co-navigation, with the owner, and not for rental, for insurance reasons. The maximum number of people on board is 6, including the captain. Co-navigations are possible, Monday to Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., except in winter when the boat is in winter storage. (I am not available on Sundays, unfortunately). It allows another, very original, approach to visiting Geneva harbor and the small lake. The body of water is surrounded by mountains and, in good weather, the view of Mont Blanc is on the agenda. Co-navigation also allows beginners, if they wish, to learn about sailing, in a friendly atmosphere. Departure takes place from Port Noir, quai Gustave Ador, in Geneva. (The port is located between the new Eaux-vives beach and Genève beach). The meeting point is at the end of the metal pier which leaves from the Gustave Ador quay (to the right of the pier, there is an all-metal building on the water), at the level of the access gate to the platform dinghies and at the marina (around 40 m. before the refreshment bar, and opposite a few parking spaces for cars). The closest (and reasonably priced) car park is Geneve Plage. Public transport : - Eaux-vives park and beach (Bus no. 2 and 6). - Black harbor (Geneva seagulls).

This was the perfect afternoon for our family. Veronique was so pleasant and accomodating. Highly recomend!
Nice afternoon out sailing around Geneva. Owner took all the time to explain things for those on board that have no sailing experience. Thank you
I had a lovely time out on the water and Veronique helped me to feel very comfortable steering even though it was my first time sailing and I am a little afraid of water. I would highly recommend adding time out sailing to your trip and highly recommend Veronique.
Friendly and excellent boat owner. Will gladly recommend to friends visiting Geneva.
Veronique is fabulous. We had a great time sailing on Lac Leman.
Me and my friends have spent an amazing afternoon with Veronique on her boat. It was absolutely stunning! The weather was perfect, enough time for swimming, eating and sail of course! We also got sailing lessons for which we are so grateful. I highly recommend sailing with Veronique - you will remember this day forever! Merci beaucoup Veronique for this special afternoon. Anna & friends
Veronique was a great host and captain as was her boat. Whether to learn to sail or for a leisure day on the lake, highly recommended either way.
Veronique was an excellent host and skipper. I have really enjoyed spending an afternoon sailing with her on Lake Geneva. Her boat is a joy to sail and Veronique is very knowledgeable about sailing and the lake. I highly recommend hiring her and her boat for a sailing excursion.
The experience was very pleasant, recommended
Merci beaucoup! C’est génial.
The afternoon we spent with Veronique on her sailboat was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Communication was easy from start to finish and we had no problems with meeting up and communicating in English for the entire afternoon. She was very welcoming and willing to teach us sailing upon request whilst also leaving space for us to just relax and enjoy the amazing weather. All in all, I strongly recommend sailing with Veronique as it is an amazing experience, especially also at this comparatively low price point.
Really nice trip! We enjoy it
Veronique have done a great job, she is very nice and professional, the boat is in excellent shape, the lake and the view is great I command a sailing day with Veronique it is pleasure
I would recommend Richard to anyone, it was excellent!
A very enjoyable outing in the Geneva harbor with great weather that allowed us to fully enjoy Véronique's small sailboat. She is very welcoming and very educational for novices, allowing us to discover the joys of sailing in a light southwest wind. A highly recommended guide and sailboat owner; we will be happy to see her again for other sessions.
Great time, very pleasant boat for a day trip and great welcome from the owner. To do again.
Superb navigation and afternoon in the company of Véronique. Listening to our requests, top explanations both in terms of navigation and local information. And even a little swim when the wind calms down in the middle of the trip. Really a superb experience to repeat without hesitation.
The welcome is pleasant, the owner is friendly
Great time, very well maintained and cute boat :-) I had a particular request to know how to review basic navigation techniques and Véronique was flexible, extremely educational and accommodating. Experience to repeat! Thanks again :-)

Wonderful day aboard the First 21 of Véronique, with my mother (89 years old!) And my sister. Véronique was "caring", considerate, warm, and pedagogue in the soul. I totally recommend the boat and its captain! Safety and pleasure in the relaxation.
We had a great day thanks to Véronique. The children were also able to learn how to steer. If you want to learn, Véronique is an excellent instructor and in addition we can also learn a little more about the life of the lake or Genevois and Genevoise. thank you so much Anne, Maxime, Benjamin and Eric
Thank you Veronique for this very successful release that delighted young and old. We will meet you with great pleasure on our next visit to Geneva.

J'habite en Haute Savoie et navigue très souvent sur le lac Léman. Je pratique la voile depuis l'âge de 18 ans, en passant par les étapes planche à voile, dériveurs, catamarans (hobie 18 puis Spitfire) puis monocoque (first 21). J'ai fait divers stages de voile, sur catamaran de sport et sur monocoques, en méditerranée et aux Antilles. Appréciant beaucoup le côté convivial de la voile, j'ai très souvent amené des débutants à découvrir la voile à bord de mes bateaux puis à la pratiquer régulièrement, grâce à des sites de partages d'activité. Je travaille à temps partiel dans le domaine bancaire.
