Boat rental in Porquerolles · Dufour — Dufour 2800 Arpege (1980)
Description of Kassandra's sailboat
Sailboat Dufour Dufour 2800 Arpege 8.25m
Hello everyone, I'm offering this 1980s Dufour 28 for charter. Easy to sail with furling sails (mainsail + genoa), a 20hp Volvo inboard engine, and a 1.70m draft. The sailboat features a forward double cabin, a small head/toilet area, and a saloon with two berths and one coffin berth. Maximum capacity: 5 people, but I recommend the boat for a couple with or without children. Kitchen equipment: gas stove, coffee maker, cooking utensils, and a cooler system that can be stocked with ice cubes. Ideal for short cruises around the Hyères Islands. Located on an anchorage off the port of Porquerolles, it will be perfect for your family trips in good weather. Safety equipment - navigation: hand flares, fixed VHF radio, life jackets, 7282L nautical chart. I don't have a tender, but I do have an inflatable rowing boat. Feel free to contact me via the messaging service Click&Boat!

Overall rating
The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Thank you, Kassandra, for your warm welcome and your availability! The boat itself is very rustic, a true experience for lovers of simple adventure and unspoiled nature. It's quite old, with a smell of fuel in the cabin (which we managed to mitigate by caulking the floor). The tender is a small inflatable rowing boat... be careful when returning at night or in rough seas: the adventure becomes very exciting! There are no showers on board, and to access the one at the harbor master's office, you'll enjoy a nice little hike. This is part of the charm if you like a challenge... otherwise, it's better to know beforehand and be prepared :) We spent three days in a magnificent cove, quiet, wild, and far from everything. A beautiful, timeless interlude, recommended to seasoned travelers looking to disconnect... and not too demanding in terms of comfort! Too much wind to sail during the stay, this part unfortunately could not be tested... for the next one we hope
The boat matches the description. It's not new, but it's well-maintained. Well-equipped and easy to handle. A warm welcome and good communication. I recommend it.
