Boat rental in Sète · Dufour — 375 Gl Camargue (2011)
Description of Christophe's sailboat
Sailboat Dufour 375 Gl Camargue 10.9m
Hello, I'm renting my Dufour 375 GL "Camargue." This sailboat is both comfortable and sporty. It's ideal for a weekend sail or a cruise in Corsica or the Balearic Islands, but you'll need at least two weeks, ideally three, to fully enjoy it. If you only have a week, you can sail between Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Le Grau-du-Roi, Gruissan, and Cap d'Agde, for example. You can simply sail in the bay of Aigues-Mortes in almost any weather conditions (the bay is very well protected) or the Thau lagoon. You can also visit the calanques of Cassis or sail along the superb Costa Brava if you prefer long voyages rather than coastal cruising. The first photo is of the Dufour (as you'll see in the other photos, the boat doesn't have a teak cockpit). This is a recent Dufour (2011), in very good condition, professionally maintained. It is equipped for offshore use (I crossed the Atlantic with it in January 2019). Sails: Mainsail and Genoa, 2022 Asymmetric spinnaker, plus a reefing staysail on a removable forestay. Bimini, sprayhood, and mainsail bag, 2022 There is a tender with a 2.3hp Honda engine replaced in August 2023. 2 solar panels installed on the aft bimini. The minimum charter period is 3 days. There are 3 double cabins and a convertible saloon. It can therefore accommodate up to 8 people during the day and at night in a "camping" version, but the ideal, in my opinion, is a maximum of 6 between friends so as not to get in each other's way during longer stays and to enjoy each other around the tables in the saloon or cockpit. We have 5 children, so we often sail with 7 people, but the saloon must be made and unmade every morning and evening, which is very easy to do within the same family! There are 3 double duvets and 6 pillows. Remember to bring your own pillowcases and sheets or sleeping bag. The boat is moored at the Port du Môle Saint Louis, near the center of Sète. Access to and from the port is direct, and if you want to sail on the Thau lagoon, this will depend on the bridges (reservations and schedules are available online). Do not hesitate to contact me via messaging for more details about the boat. See you soon! Christophe

Overall rating
Super satisfied with the boat and the communication with the owner
Very pleasant communication with the owner and the rental manager. The boat is well equipt for sailing and living aboard. It goes without saying that the boat is properly maintained and in good shape (e.g. brand new sprayhood and lazybag). For an improvement regarding the listing on C&B, I suggest to exclusivly use original fotos. Thanks Christophe for enabling a memorable cruise on your vessel!
Very warm welcome and good explanations when taking charge. I highly recommend this boat!!
Poorly maintained boat, lots of small problems that can lead to big ones: broken autopilot, no anemometer, dangerous swim ladder, transom that opens while sailing, no lights in the mast, scratched and unseamed hull, the photo shown is not of the actual boat (no teak deck), which is borderline misleading. It's a shame because the boat is comfortable and seaworthy, with a well-designed interior...
We had a wonderful week in Portbou with our family. Yves was always available to answer our questions.
An unforgettable stay thanks to Yves' professionalism, who was always available to us and answered all our questions. Very pleasant boat
A beautiful boat that deserves a thorough maintenance, both technically (sailing) and onboard. It nevertheless offers excellent sailing and met our expectations for the weekend.
Very happy with this rental. Thank you, Christophe, for your availability and advice. I look forward to contacting you again to set a date.
One month stay on skippy to the Balearic Islands. Comfortable boat to sail. Good communication and confidence from Yves who manages the boat! I would rent again in the future without hesitation
We spent 3 weeks cruising the Balearic Islands. The boat is well maintained and was very good for our family with children. Yves was very present and helpful both at the start and during the cruise. We recommend.
The presentation photos do not correspond to the rented boat, exterior and interior. Some pillows had traces of mold. Several items could be replaced (trash can, mattress).
Very nice week of navigation aboard Skippy! Boat as advertised, top owner and available if necessary.
AR Balearic via barcelona a very good time on the sea. Well-equipped marine boat staysail stay releasable spinnaker AIS. Very good technical support ashore from Yves, and very good follow-up with Christophe the owner for the rental. To recommend.
Great welcome. Great flexibility to meet various expectations. The boat is very comfortable, pleasant, well designed, fast. The spinnaker well operational. Good general maintenance. Sète is very pleasant as a departure port. The very quiet St Louis mole far from the noise of the city. Absolutely recommended.
Very good welcome, good advice, help to leave our cars in the parking lot. The boat is comfortable and everything works well. We were 5 and we had enough space. We had a great weekend!
Good sailboat, nice time.
serious and super nice! I recommend
Christophe's boat is efficient for sailing. We had to take 2 reefs in the mainsail and 1 in the genoa, the behavior of the boat was superb. For the handling of the boat, Yves is very accommodating on the schedules and good advice. I will retain this rental for a future with great pleasure!
Very nice experience in very good conditions.
A super comfortable and efficient boat, very well equipped with instruments, just a tired halyard + pulley which creaked when the mainsail was raised, the marina of Por Camargue with incredible comfort, bordering on luxury, unlike Sète, bordering clean , and more expensive!
Early season boat
Owner very attentive to his tenants…. A very good boat, thank you
The owner is pleasant and available. Too bad the boat is not in the same condition as in the photos of the ad ... Regarding the taking of the boat, it would be interesting for future rental companies to be made aware of certain important points. Particularly in terms of non-potable water on board and the functioning of the toilets. On when we leave for a week at sea. These points were discussed with the owner over the phone and have been taken into account.
Boat in very good condition A real treat !!! Thak you for being serious.
Pleasant boat at sea and well laid out for life on board. Owner and contact very pleasant and available and accommodating. Small maintenance points to plan (lazy bag, genoa sheet) I recommand it.
Very good reception, boat well equipped to navigate. Experience to renew
Beautiful experience aboard this Dufour 375, efficient and comfortable. Excellent welcome on site. In short, it's fun.
Very good boat, pleasant and efficient and which goes upwind very well. Very friendly and accommodating owner and rental manager. In short, very good.
Very pleasant boat to navigate, very good habitability also. Listening and adaptable owner and manager. I recommend the rental of Skippy!
A great experience with this pleasant boat to navigate, functional and where nothing was missing. The owner is serious, available and friendly. Nothing to say except thank you and see you soon I hope.
The sailboat was in accordance with the announcement. The person in charge of the rental was friendly, professional, punctual and accommodating. I recommend !
Great week on this good boat! Comfortable and optimized to navigate at all times. To recommend
Very satisfied
a very pretty sailboat designed by sailors, you feel confident to go far, all the halyards in the cockpit, sheltered under the hood, and the awning, soft helm, impeccable engine, in short to recommend
Boat in line with my expectations, responsive owner and managers of the nautical base who manage the boat very friendly and flexible. Only downside: the boat was not perfectly clean ... (but this is mainly the fault of the previous tenants, because it was a little vicious: glasses stored unwashed, cockpit table folded and stored but not washed, can half-full beer hidden behind a bunk ...).
Following a withdrawal from another rental company two days before the rental, we looked for another sailboat. Christophe was very responsive and we were able to rent his sailboat in record time. A welcome from a base manager, a high-performance and comfortable sailboat: Successful seaside vacations!
Boat in good condition, pleasant.
Very good boat offering a very good compromise between comfort and performance. A very good surprise
Very good boat, comfortable and fast (5 knots by force 3 Beaufort and 7/8 knots at 4) and very well maintained. The annex was missing and was supplied 3 days later but without an engine, contrary to the announcement. Bedding was not provided and was in addition - 20 € per set) which was not specified in the advertisement. Very good reception by the manager of the bateau-mouche although his job is to rent the boat commercially (sic ...). The owner should clarify things with him. Lots of fish caught trolling.
