Boat rental in Rochefort · Dufour — 3800 (1987)

We had a great week on board. All the advice and availability of the owner allowed us to sail in an extremely relaxed manner. Thank you for everything!

Four of us young people had a wonderful week. Yves is welcoming, very professional, and very friendly! I recommend renting his sailboat and his advice for sailing safely and exploring the nice spots in La Rochelle.

Seaworthy, reliable, very well-equipped and well-maintained boat: everything is safe. Friendly owner, available and with sound advice. Deep draft imposes restrictive schedules for entering and leaving ports. Navigation in the Perthuis d'Antioche allows for a wide variety of atmospheres and centers of interest.

Maia is a superb boat, very well maintained by Yves. Thanks to his expert advice on the sailing area, which he knows inside and out, we thoroughly enjoyed our sailing session. Excellent time, excellent boat, and excellent communication: I highly recommend it!

Great weekend on a sailboat equipped for all navigations. Yves is available, welcoming and super accommodating. His advice on the sailing area and on the boat is invaluable. To do again ?

Yves is really great! Very warm welcome, very good advice, he is always available. I recommend without hesitation.

Very nice outing to the island of Oléron aboard Maia and in the company of Yves.

Yves is keen to share his knowledge of sailing. We had a great day with him, as did our 5-year-old daughter, with whom Yves was great! And with the added bonus of some pretty tough weather conditions. Great day!

A superb day spent alongside Yves. He was great with the children and was happy to share his knowledge on navigation, the region and many other unexpected subjects!! Really perfect for the whole family from 6 to 15 years old and the parents: everyone was very happy!! Many thanks Yves :)

Super friendly Yves briefed us well before the cruise so that the cruise had as much fun as possible! See you soon

Great stay on Yves' boat, the Dufour is old but has some under the hull! The advice and trust given by Yves are precious, looking forward to sailing on Maïa again!

We spent three great days on board the boat and in the company of Yves. He knew how to pass on his passion for navigation to us, always very accessible and attentive to our desires. Thanks to him for sharing this.

Marine boat that performs well in heavy weather. Easy to maneuver. Some equipment is missing (up-to-date paper maps, speedo, anemometer).

Excellent contact, great owner. Very good advice and available, it’s nice. It's a shame that the tenants/interns don't always do basic cleaning naturally (toilet, kitchen, fridge and empty storage), it would be more pleasant for everyone and at this price I consider that it is not up to the owner to do it. Thanks again to Yves and see you soon I hope.

Wonderful family day to the rhythm of the sailboat. Discovery of navigation with Yves, a great teacher who knows how to interest young and old!

Everything was perfect, we had an excellent day in the company of Yves, attentive, passionate and explaining a lot of anecdotes, stories and making us participate in the maneuvers on the boat. A delighted family, two 15 year olds who loved it and parents too! A big thank you to Yves.

We have just spent 5 days with the family on Yves' boat. An excellent moment with the joy and good humor of Yves to explain to us the most basic maneuvers. The boat is perfect and well maintained. I recommend

The boat is equipped with the minimum. However, it is a good sailboat that deserves a refresh. Yves the owner is very friendly and available. I had a pleasant day, I wanted to do some exercises with Yves, no tacking or jibing, in short, I had no interest in myself, it is not to be repeated

Thanks to Yves for his trust and for renting his Dufour to us. The boat is very well equipped and in very good working order. We will come back...

Thanks to Yves for this beautiful and pleasant day trip on the Charente and in the Pertuis d'Antioche Yves is very good company, very good teacher and he knows his boat and the places very well. I totally recommend it

Thanks to Yves for entrusting us with his Dufour, well equipped for its age and comfortable. Yves was available to answer our questions. The descent of the Charente makes the experience unique. I recommend you

We had a great day with Yves and Maya despite the lack of wind. Absolutely recommended. Thank you Yves and good luck...

Maia is particularly well equipped and its maintenance monitored. His age is not a handicap for his performance. Its owner is particularly available and excellent communication. I recommend them both to anyone who wants to sail on Oléron, Ré, La Rochelle, Les Sables.

Yves is welcoming, available and friendly. The boat is well equipped for the price. It was a good vacation.

We had another great time aboard the Maïa. (second rental for us) Yves is always attentive and available in case there is a question. I highly recommend.

Nice discovery of sailing around the islands of Ré, Oléron and Aix on Yves' boat.

A wonderful day alongside Yves. Thanks again.

Boat meets our expectations: although a little old, it is very well equipped and Yves has constantly improved and maintained it, which makes it very pleasant to live in and to maneuver. Very good contact with the owner who was very cool and who was able to give us all the advice we needed to explore the Charentes as well as the Pertuis Breton and Antioche. We highly recommend it.

Yves was very pleasant and available, and his boat is very reliable and safe. Experience to renew

Yves has an excellent command of his boat and the region. He is also an excellent teacher and we learned a lot during the day of navigation. Excellent value for money

Everything went perfectly. The owner Yves was very welcoming and pedagogical during the half-day we spent together. A great weekend!

Perfect boat for navigation !! And Yves gave us all the tips and more for a wonderful stay

Good location for visiting the islands.

friendly welcome and available for full explanation. The boat is no longer brand new but conforms and sails well.

Yves accompanied us on our first two-day sailing experience. very personable, he let us take the helm and help with the manoeuvres. While ensuring safety. Nice experience.

Yves, although not very reachable on messaging Click&Boat and by sms, was very responsive by phone to help or advise us (no more battery to start the engine in st martin de ré) he regularly heard from us to find out if we were going well and even offered to trailer us in the Charente estuary if the problem persisted. difficulty disembarking with a tender equipped only with oars but boat very well maintained and equipped I would however have appreciated that Yves insisted on certain points and details during the inventory such as the water tank (2 entrances including the one must absolutely not be used under penalty of filling the boat and letting it overflow for 20 min to fill it completely). Otherwise great experience aboard Yves' boat, easy to access by car 1h30 from the sea multiple possibility in the pertuis rochelais and very pleasant boat, I recommend.

Good boat, perfectly equipped, which is old but does the job superbly. Further cleaning would be welcome. I recommend.

Sailing for a week on a sailboat that has proven itself. Sailor, cut for upwind and well equipped. A few technical problems that did not prevent us from sailing around the islands. Thanks to Yves!

Incredible day spent alongside Yves for a family outing at sea. Pedagogue, patient and attentive, he allowed us to navigate as well as our daughters, we left with lots of memories in mind. Thank you again for these moments!

It's a chance to be able to sail with Yves and to be able to benefit from his experience. He listens and is patient with the crew... MAIA is a perfectly fitted out and maintained boat which is perfect upwind.

Superb experience with Yves, an experienced sailor who knows his sailboat and knows how to exploit all his abilities. The ship's base, on the Charente, a stone's throw from the sea, makes navigation even more interesting and diversified. Pedagogue and patient, Yves is to be recommended to novices or already more seasoned crew members for the originality of the sea trip and the interest of the helm at the helm. 10/10

We spent the weekend aboard Maia (Dufour 3800) at 6. The comfort is quite correct for a weekend between Rocherfort, the island of Oléron and the island of Ré. Very seaworthy boat, gitard, cut for upwind! Thank you Yves for your warm welcome!

Maia is a good boat. At 5 we made a very pleasant cruise. Yves is also very available and full of advice. We will be delighted to resume a cruise on board next time.

Yves is a very welcoming host, his boat is maintained with great care. He entrusted it to us without reservation in complete confidence, thank you for this and for your enlightened advice. I highly recommend him.

Super cruise on Maia, a very seaworthy boat, which sails well in all conditions. Saint Denis D'oleron, Saint Martin en Ré and Ile d'Aix in 3 days, with passage through Fort Boyard! Nice route! Thanks to Yves for the welcome, see you soon on the water!

Yves is a great renter. Very pedagogical, he helped us plan our itinerary as well as possible. He stayed on board for a day to help us take control of the boat as well as possible. Maïa is not a new boat, but remains very comfortable and well equipped, with a fairly quick handling. In addition, the price / quality ratio is excellent. I recommend Maïa, Yves, his pedagogy and his warm welcome (with a little extra for the welcome coffee).

Top day sailing with Yves and his dufour 3800. Although the boat is a few years old, it is very well equipped and has brought us comfort and performance. Yves is a great owner: great knowledge of his boat, sailing in general and the region and above all excellent human contact. I highly recommend.

Very equipped sailboat, perfect for discovering sailing in safety. lacks a small auxiliary heating to improve comfort during the night in port. Very friendly owner who is at your disposal to ensure that your navigation project is at the top.

Yves offered us to go down the Charente from the home port of Maia and it was a very good idea. The descent of the river has a lot of charm and allows you to take the boat in hand. Yves is very cool but nevertheless considerate with his good advice. The boat is very well equipped with regard to navigation instruments. The boat is very secure. Everything you need is on board, which is very pleasant to fully enjoy your stay on board. We recommend without hesitation Yves and his boat to those who like to sail.

Maia is a very good boat, very well equipped for navigation. Many thanks to Yves for his advice and trust. vincent

An unforgettable experience for a first time! Yves is very friendly and very good company. He was a very good teacher and a well of science at all levels. We strongly recommend and we hope to renew the experience.

Boat ok for his age and for the price, well maintained and equipped (including electronic equipment even impressive!) Yves was available for any questions and advice before and during the rental, and really flexible on schedules. Thank you very much and good wind !!! P.S .: we were 3; 2 days walk with friends to practice sailing.

Boat well equipped and reassuring to the sea (good value for money). Only flat: dirty state of the square and other interior fittings. After discussion with the owner this last point is obviously perfectible.

A good boat, very well equipped both sailing level and navigation, rented by a good and friendly owner. The descent of the Charente is very pleasant and we sailed with great happiness around the island of Aix. A very good experience. Thank you.
