Boat rental in Marseille · Beneteau — Oceanis 40 (2008)

I recommend it without reservation. Fabien is very friendly and accommodating, with excellent communication. The boat is well-maintained and safe. As a family boat, Fabien provides paddleboards, fins, masks, snorkels, and other equipment. Excellent value for money for early September.

The boat was generally satisfactory, but it was rented at the end of the season and could use better maintenance (poorly sealed portholes, cupboards that didn't close properly and were therefore unusable while sailing, etc.).

We rented the boat for 6 days between Marseille and Porquerolles with 7 people on board. Fabien gave us a very warm welcome, friendly and helpful. However, the boat requires some maintenance: some portholes don't close completely, allowing sea spray and water to enter, and the handle of the Italian coffee maker is broken. Cleanliness needs to be improved upon departure (floors, mattresses, dishes, fridge). No more fresh water after 2 1/2 days... Be careful with the berth indicated as reserved at the old port of Marseille on the return trip, which wasn't. Advertisement needs updating: no safety net, no barbecue. Pluses: furling mainsail and genoa, GPS, electric windlass, adjustable exterior cushions, and an exterior freshwater shower. We have very fond memories of sailing!

We rented the boat for two weeks to go to Corsica. Everything went very well. The boat is in perfect condition. The owner is very friendly. We had beautiful images. Pascal Isa and Nath

The boat is well-maintained and comfortable. Fabien gave us excellent advice on our long weekend sailing schedule.

A huge thank you to Fabien who postponed our reservation by a day due to a storm, thanks to which we were able to fully enjoy the boat. Furthermore, Fabien is an excellent sailor and guide; he showed us magnificent coves and a lovely little excursion to a beautiful island. The boat is just perfect and very pleasant to sail. We will definitely be back. Stéphanie and Xavier

Fabien is great, his family boat is well equipped and you feel good on it. I highly recommend it!

Despite some technical issues, Fabien was able to provide us with a boat that was very suitable for sailing!

Fabien is a very friendly and helpful owner. His boat is not new but the essential elements of navigation and safety are good (engine starts at 1/4 turn, new sails, OK rigging). Thank you for this reservation

Perfect, great stay on this boat!

Great weekend with 2 nights on board. The boat is as described. Fabien takes the time to present Corto before departure. It was clean and ready to go. We recommend :) Thank you Fabien

Fabien is certainly nice... But it's not enough to rent his sailboat. There were 6 of us on board and when we arrived Fabien told us that the 2nd bathroom and its toilet were condemned. Not great, only 1 bathroom and one toilet for 6 people. Then no more gas on board when we arrived, we had to go 15 km to buy a gas bottle from a Chandler ship which of course we were billed for. The 2 frying pans and the 2nd saucepan on board are out of order and only one salad bowl for 6 people. So in the morning before setting sail, we had to go buy utensils to be able to cook for 6 people. Finally, the duvet and mattress were stained. It's the end of the season, Fabien told us... Ok but when is it 2100 bucks for 6 nights on board and especially no commercial gesture for all this hassle... In summary, the boat is very poorly equipped and poorly maintained. Too bad Fabien...

We had a great week on Corto, 10 of us (5 adults and 5 children) between Marseille and Port Cros. (port and anchorage) The boat is well equipped, comfortable thanks to its spacious cockpit. On the sailing side: it is well equipped and sails well. It behaves very well on the different points of sail even in heavy weather. Finally, I thank Fabien for his welcome, his professionalism, his advice and his friendliness.

A beautiful and large boat that is pleasant to sail with. Fabien is very helpful. Transfers are quick and easy. When he realizes that my own French is not enough, he quickly switches to English. He also gives tips for the trip, what are realistic distances, what are the beautiful places.

We spent a great week on CORTO with 6 people departing from Marseille. Very comfortable, the paddle was more than appreciated by the crew. Compared to the other comments, there is certainly a bit of tinkering to be done to make it perfect but let's not forget that it is an individual's boat. We traveled quite a bit thanks to the sails and we always felt safe. Thanks to Fabien who was friendly and available!

Compliant boat with an accommodating and pleasant captain. The only downside is that the maintenance of the boat is quite limited with several malfunctions and advanced wear. During our week the windlass broke forcing us to go to the port or to the buoy (the owner covered the additional costs). A little not very pleasant practice: we took the boat with the tank 3/4 full and we had to pay for the full tank in proportion to the number of engine hours, therefore approximate to actual consumption. We would have preferred to pay for what we consumed. Same thing for the gas bottle which we paid for in full even though we only cooked a few times. Otherwise the boat is pleasant to sail with a very recent engine and sails on furling mainsail and genoa.

Spacious and comfortable boat.

Fabien was super accessible with a boat conforming to the description but some tinkering was necessary.

Thanks Corto! 6 childhood friends meeting at sea for 5 incredible days… thank you Fabien for your availability during departure and arrival… Corto is a comfortable boat with incredible charm… Thank you for all the Sarse Sailor

Fabien is very accommodating and friendly. I recommend renting without hesitation. The boat is very comfortable and well equipped. Everything is there for a pleasant cruise. Small downside: unusable front toilet cabin and slightly old sails.

Good boat, very good GPS map, we had a very good long weekend. Fabien was very friendly and professional.

Very comfortable and spacious boat. Well equipped with electronics and accessories to enjoy on board, paddle surfing, dinghy... Due to a fault in the timing belt we were almost without batteries on the last day. Fabien responded very well and took charge of the situation. Good communication with him and overall very good experience.

Everything went well with Fabien, the boat is old but comfortable.

The boat is well maintained and Fabien is available and accommodating. Good experience with Corto

Thanks again to Fabien for this second rental. Many improvements have been made I will rent again.

Our long weekend on Corto was a treat. The welcome by Fabien was very nice and he was super flexible. The boat was clean and perfectly equipped for a long family weekend. Corto is not new, but everything works as it should.

Rémy and José are very responsive and accommodating owners. Papa-Jean is a well-maintained sailboat that was a pleasure to sail on.

Corto is a sailboat in very good condition both inside and out. It behaves very well at sea, maneuvers are easy thanks to its furling mainsail. All the navigation instruments are working, I would recommend putting new covers on the slightly stained bench cushions. Friendly and accommodating owners. An experience to repeat.

Very good boat, easy to handle especially thanks to the mainsail on a furler. Very good contact with the rental company.

Beautiful boat well equipped and functional! 7 sailors, 3 days of cruising under full sail with 15 to 30 knots of weather without worries!

Good boat, easy to handle. Very accommodating owner.

I rented Fabien's sailboat for a week for 8 people. We had a great time and were comfortably seated. We were able to navigate safely at all speeds. Fabien provides good advice and is quick to learn. The sailboat is starting to show some signs of fatigue and it becomes necessary to carry out some work to maintain certain equipment.

Good sailboat, pleasant week spent aboard Corto which led us serenely to the Spanish coast. To redo and recommend.

Very well

Daily charter, Fabien was responsive and welcoming, we had a wonderful day aboard the Oceanis 40. I recommend!

Fabien is nice, very accommodating. The boat is well equipped and in good condition. Everything works on board. Very good experience ??

Good welcome from the owner, but with regard to the sailboat we rented it was not very clean and moreover we had a problem with the toilet which was clogged and the black water which came back up in it with a terrible odor! In addition we parked our vehicle in the port car park with a pass from the owner and several weeks later we received an illegal parking fine. from 35 euros !!! thanks to the owner! hoping for a commercial gesture from the owner for all these inconveniences !! Regards

Very good contact with Fabien, the boat is compliant and comfortable there were 6 of us, and everyone was able to have their private space. Paddle for exploration, palm mask to visit the seabed. Large water capacity which allows autonomy outside the port and solar panels for the battery. It just lacks a SPI for the downwind returns if we fussy.

Excellent welcome from Fabien, very punctual. We fixed everything in a few messages. Boat from 2008, very well maintained: rigging, instruments, fridge, ... very good. Toilets are ok. For the most demanding, a little cleaning inside to plan. The helm (wheel) is a bit hard, but the autopilot works fine.

Superb day at sea. Fabien was punctual, super welcoming and very friendly. The boat is spacious, well equipped, easy to maneuver. The sails, new, give the boat good sailing qualities.

We had a great day on Fabien's boat who is a attentive and attentive host. To be redone very soon ...

Friendly, relaxed and professional welcome. We will repeat the experience!

we had a very pleasant weekend on Fabien's boat. it is very comfortable, well organized. the place in the port is not practical for the exit and the re-entry of the boat, but we got there ..... a 2-day test that risks d to reproduce !! Fabien is available.

Very nice rental company, we spent a little more than two weeks sailing no particular problem the boat behaves very well in heavy weather 35 kts of wind swell 2.5 m rear wind speed an autopilot with such reliability. see little (For the two Corsican Traverses LGM live) Easy and comfortable we recommend it thank you Fabien Claire and j luc

Fabien is very nice. Beautiful boat .... location at the port not great ....

we rented Corto for 2 days Nice communication with Fabien the boat conforms to the description: 3 cabins + convertible saloon Corto is in very good condition, as are the sails and fittings. Internally, it is spacious, bright. Only the cleanliness was not completely at the RV - cushions - duvets - stained pillows (with pillow covers OK), dishes not very well cleaned by the last crew. And the kitchen equipment is a bit limited for a crew of 8/9 people Plastic bowls would be welcome The boat behaves very well in all gaits. And we can control everything from the cockpit as the mainsail and the Genoa are on furlers New orientable GPS very practical with 2 wheel bars. Maneuvers of exits / entrances to a harbor which are delicate but totally achievable. Good to know: the port personnel are available to help if necessary in the entry / exit maneuvers of the port We recommend!

The Balearics, 3 weeks, direct outward journey and return via Palamos. NS. 600 MN. Ideal boat for 6 and very easy to sail.

"The boat is ideal at sea with swells and winds, very pleasant and good behavior The GPS brings an essential asset, course tracing, route simulation, accuracy of arrival time. We appreciated the autopilot and the reel sail in the mast. The boat is well equipped. We just regretted a bow thruster because the boat is heavy and reversing in port is difficult. Probably, we were not used to it. In summary, super boat because everything is simplified by efficient equipment. Inside, beautiful space with its 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms. In addition, the owner is friendly, available and accommodating. To recommend."

Very well maintained boat and very cabin! Excellent day trip. Corto will also be very comfortable for a week or more

Very nice owner and boat! A real treat! Thank you Fabien for your welcome and your availability throughout the weekend! To do again!

Comfortable and reliable boat, well maintained in general especially mechanically but the internal cleaning can be improved, stains on mattresses and sofas do not make a good impression

Corto is a very balanced, very comfortable and well equipped boat with new sails. It is very pleasant to navigate while providing good sensations. It was a real pleasure to talk to Fabien who is accommodating in the organization of the stay. A big thank you to Fabien and Corto.

Good boat, good grip

The 3 weeks of sailing on Corto went very well. The boat corresponded well to our program: Cruise Spanish coasts and Baleares! Good contact with Fabien arranging and nice!

The owner is very friendly and the boat is very nice to navigate.
