Sailboat Dufour Dufour 365 Grand Large 10.5m

Hello, I rent my boat, with or without skipper/owner on board, for weeks and weekends departing from La Grande Motte. The boat is perfectly maintained and equipped for coastal and offshore navigation. The 2005 Dufour 365 is a boat known for its sailing capabilities AND its comfort! Large galley, 2 cabins and a large bathroom with separate shower, a saloon that can easily accommodate 8 people for dining and a cockpit with a folding table. Cabins equipped with comfortable bedding with duvets, sheets and pillows provided. Ideal for family life, swimming ladders, paddle, annex, snorkeling equipment, etc. Safe, nets are mounted on the lifelines, ideal for young children. Also included are 2 self-inflating vests for children aged 5 to 10. Boat maintained and serviced very regularly. This is our family boat, so we take special care of it and hope you will do the same. Departing from La Grande Motte, anchorages at the Espiguette, sailing to Sète, Agde, Saintes Maries de la Mer. For the more experienced, the Balearic Islands within reach, Marseille, the Var and Corsica of course! For the less experienced, life on board at the port of LGM! A gentle and lively seaside resort, bike rides, beach and shows throughout the summer. Ideal for 5/6 people max over several days. Don't hesitate to ask me questions!

We had a wonderful time aboard Ben's sailboat. The boat is very well maintained, clean, and perfectly equipped, making it very safe, even in rough seas. You can tell it's been carefully maintained and kept in excellent condition. One small drawback: the berth in the harbor is quite challenging in winds above 15 knots, especially when going astern—a maneuver not necessarily recommended for beginners. Beyond that, Ben's welcome was impeccable. He is available, friendly, and informative, and takes the time to thoroughly explain the specific features of his boat. This instills confidence and contributes to the success of the trip. In summary: a reliable sailboat, pleasant to sail, with a very attentive owner. We highly recommend this charter!

We had an amazing week aboard the Dufour 365 Grand Large. Ben is a professional, attentive, responsive, and very helpful owner. The boat is fully equipped with everything you need, including life jackets, buoys, etc., to ensure safe sailing. Thank you so much!

Ben is available, very responsive, friendly and clear in his explanations. Very well equipped boat (sheets, towels, futas, ecoflow, paddle, etc.), we felt at home from the first day. Great explanations about the boat and always responsive when we needed to contact him, Ben made us want to take care of Maimiti as much as if it were our boat. We loved sailing for 18 days aboard this beautiful Dufour 365, it’s a great performance/comfort compromise. A few things still to be sorted out but Ben is on it. We recommend Maimiti and Ben without hesitation!

Ben is a great boat owner who puts a lot of effort into the boat and looks after his guests. I felt very comfortable on board and Ben was always available by phone if I had any questions and communication with him was good. Chartering was uncomplicated. The boat is well maintained all round and everything I needed was available. Thank you very much. I will definitely come back.

Very nice boat, in good condition and well equipped. Well, very welcoming and efficient. The weather did not allow us to carry out our program (Balearic Islands). I will happily choose Maimiti to finish our Balearic cruise project. Etienne

Marin amateur, instructeur de voile légère, skipper occasionnel et Architecte Naval, l'essentiel de ma vie tourne autour de la mer et des bateaux. Pour la première fois je deviens propriétaire d'un bateau, ce beau Dufour 365 Grand Large nommé Maimiti. Je partage beaucoup de choses avec son ancien propriétaire Charles, notamment les valeurs du partage des connaissances, de bienveillance et de passion pour les bateaux. C'est donc avec plaisir que je vous accueillerai à bord de Maimiti et m'efforcerai de vous rendre votre séjour marin le plus agréable possible. Bonne navigation à tous !
