Boat rental in 66660 Port-Vendres · Robertson & Caine — Léopard 40 (2017)
Description of Gérald's catamaran
Catamaran Robertson & Caine Léopard 40 12m
12 m catamaran, 4 double cabins, two bathrooms This contemporary cruising catamaran is of the most modern standard, with an innovative interior layout. The increased volume in the hulls, widened windows and doors, provide greater interior space and better 360-degree outward visibility. The unique, forward-facing galley with an access door adjacent to the forward platform is Leopard’s specificity. Aft, the sofa and dining table are separated from the aft cockpit seating area by sliding glass doors, allowing full light to penetrate. These doors and windows enhance the open concept feel, allowing exceptional ventilation and thus making it easier to navigate in and around the sailboat. NOTE: Refueling; diesel and any stopovers in ports are the responsibility of the crew. Possible flexibility on the number of days depending on the season. For reasons of comfort, this sailboat is limited to 8 crew members (excluding skipper) and cannot be rented without the owner (or skipper) on board. Departure possible from Rosas in Spain, and the Figueras/Rosas station transfer is free, otherwise free parking possible on site.

Overall rating
Wow. The boat was perfect in every respect. It sailed beautifully (we hit 8 knots at one point), the cabins are spacious and comfortable, and it was spectacularly clean. The skipper was so friendly and welcoming with great taste in Music (Thank you Francis). Gerard is so lovely to speak with and easy to organise the trip. We travelled with our 4 children and a nanny and had a wonderful time. Nothing was an issue. We all loved the layout of the catamaran too; with the wide open space at the back, the direct access to the front deck from the kitchen/living area, the bean bags on the front deck were a nice touch too. My kids and I had a lot of fun with the paddle board complete with canoe style and kayak style paddles. I could not recommend this boat more highly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! See you soon I hope!!
An absolutely unforgettable family experience, highly recommended! We just spent several magical days aboard Gérald's catamaran, and we have dazzling memories of it. The boat is perfectly maintained, clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. We couldn't find a single thing to complain about; everything met our expectations, and even exceeded them. We were traveling as a family, with children who weren't always easy to work with and a very limited knowledge of sailing. Suffice it to say that the skipper, Francis, was exceptional. Patient, a great teacher, attentive, and remarkably skilled, he put us at ease from the very first hours, looked after both the children and the adults, and made each day as peaceful as it was joyful. His professionalism and kindness made all the difference: thanks to him, novices like us experienced the sea with complete peace of mind. Gérald was incredibly available and provided a perfect welcome throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend this boat, whether you're a seasoned sailor or a complete beginner with your family. One thing is for sure: we'll do it again with the greatest pleasure, and we're already looking forward to the next opportunity to repeat this wonderful trip. A huge thank you to Gérald and Francis for these precious moments. Well done, and see you very soon!
The cruise went really well, and the boat was exactly as described. Gérald is super welcoming, maintains his boat perfectly, and is very good at recommending good anchorage or port destinations. The boat is very accessible and ideally located for planning. I highly recommend it!
