Description of Germaine's sailboat
Escapado is a hidden treasure, one of the last 40.7's to ever be made and carefully cared for whilst being lightly used she is in excellent condition and offers a very comfortable and competitive ride. She was last raced in 2016 and won the Ouistreham Trophy. She is equally capable cruising and is arguably in the best condition of any of the First 40.7's. She comfortably accommodates 8-10 people and is MCA coded to Category 2 waters meaning she is equipped to one of the highest standards. In recent years she has been used less than a handful of times for family trips in the Solent. Moored in Port Hamble Marina excellent facilities are available for dining and relaxing. Please note that there is an additional charge for racing to cover additional insurance premiums and support: Boat Tuition is also available at an additional cost of £150 / day. Other things to keep in mind: - Having a captain is optional, I can provide one for you at a cost of 150€/day. - Gas is included in the price If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact me.

Geremaine was very helpful throughout. Responded quickly to all requests. The boat is very well equipped, everything worked well.

Daniel was a joy to hire to and it felt more like I was lending the boat to a respectful friend than hiring to a stranger. He was friendly, communicative, flexible and not afraid to ask questions that enabled me to quickly resolve any issues and know that the boat was in safe hands. I hope Daniel chooses to use the boat again, he would be very welcome.

We had a great day out on Germaine’s Escapado. Germaine was available to help with queries and to ensure we were well informed on all the details. He also had a friend meet us at the end of the rental to help with docking which was appreciated. Thanks again

Jon was an absolute pleasure to hire to and I would happily hire to him again or have him onboard for an event I’m skippering.

Very friendly owner eager to help. Boat was very well presented and clean. Would charter again.
Ben was a pleasure to charter to and left the boat in excellent condition. I look forward to having him onboard again.
