Yacht charter in Toulon · Jeanneau — Sun Odyssey 45 (2007)

Very friendly welcome, check in/out carried out efficiently, without wasting time or letting go. On the other hand, the boat was at the end of the season and quite worn, especially the sails. It's still a very good experience.

Super we on Galway, SO45 very well maintained, very clean, very fast and very stable. Looking forward to renting back to you.

A good week of sailing - a rental (company) business is business. The boat is decent and held the mistral well up to 50 knots of wind. Like the previous reviews, the lock and anemometer-vane are not correctly calibrated, but this remains minor. The GV sheet is too short (1 or 2 m), which poses safety problems. The lessor does not want to lengthen it to prevent the sail from rubbing on the spreaders. We regret a difference between the ad Click&Boat: 1) the spinnacker (and the gennacker) was included without an option. After negotiation and verification, the lessor finally acknowledged that the error was his and provided the spinnaker. 2) ad Click&Boat does not specify that the rental contract prohibited us from night navigation and from being more than 100 nautical miles from the port of Toulon. The rental company did not want to modify these clauses on the grounds of not risking that I return the boat late (which would have been invoiced to me according to a scale provided at check-in). We will also regret that the arrival inventory is not done with the rental company, a speaker arriving only to answer any questions (ours did not know what oarlocks were, nor tell us how hitting the spinnaker rigging on this edge). No one therefore for a useful handling of the boat. The boat was dirty: black dog paw marks in the cockpit, decomposed melon in a cubbyhole, sticky set, etc. for a cleaning service invoiced at €190. At check-out, on the other hand, the rental company is present to check the condition. The tenant may not be used to check-in / check-out and the absence of the landlord for the initial inventory puts the tenant in a weak position for the return. Finally, we broke a small piece of cleat (16€) and offered to change it. The lessor preferred to carry out the repair himself, and also invoice the labor (35€).

Many problems to deplore on the boat (full of fresh water not done by the agency, electric windlass broken when wanting to anchor in Porquerolles, faulty on-board instruments, hold under the "floor" where some of our flooded food). Fortunately we weren't going too far so that didn't stop us from having a good weekend, but the compensation received at the end was clearly not up to the damage received. At check-out, we were even allowed to say "next time, you should take the Oceanis, it is more expensive but in much better condition". I wouldn't stay there again.

--- Notes on COSTS: the charter, in addition to the cost of renting the boat, demanded payment of €90 for the 1st night (usually free), €210 for parking 3 cars for 4 nights (absurd), 60€ for consumables (gas?) (it's the 1st time in many years that they've asked me for a fee for this item) and even 190€ for final cleaning (usually the cost of this item for a 43 is around 120/ €130) … finally, unlike how it works in the rest of the world, the deposit we were asked for (€5,000) was double the insurance deductible (€2,490) --- Notes on the CONTRACT: 2 days before the charter informs me that the rented boat is no longer available and offers us another more recent one, obviously we can only accept since no alternative has been proposed to us --- Notes on the BOAT: 1) the mainsail was used a lot and also a little "broken" so the adjustment in a stiff wind was more difficult also due to how the mainsail traveler was rigged; 2) the mainsail halyard stopper didn't hold and we had to always sail with the halyard on the winch on the deckhouse keeping it constantly engaged; 3) the jib, due to the rig of the traveler (too inward and too far forward), was difficult to adjust at tight speeds. --- Final NOTES: in general the judgment is below the sufficiency and takes into account both the economic treatment (quality/price ratio) and the state of the boat (hull OK, sails, rigging and some running rigging KO).

Trash full and interior not cleaned on the day of arrival. Speedometer out of order No wind vane visible from the cockpit. Engine failure on the last day of rental. Difficulty in returning the deposit Return operation made on 15/10 for an end of rental on 08/10. Transmission of the refund ticket on 24/10. However our interlocutors were quite understanding on the spot and reacted well for our return to Toulon with shuttle and taxi.

Nice old boat. Small gaps in routine maintenance, torn awning, misconfigured electronics, broken anchor light.

Great week on the Toulon side with Galway. The only downside is the cleanliness of the boat with fairly dirty equipment. Nothing to say about the rest of the loc. Good nav.

A very good welcome and professional, a boat well equipped, comfortable and good for navigation.

Magnificent boat, navigation area a real listen

Higher than normal oil and gas consumption. Failed with oil and gas! The instruments on board (speed, wind direction, ...) were not well configured. We had to do without. Yours truly,

Very good feeling on all levels of sea + thank you

Well, quality boat.

Excellent hospitality and professionalism of Olivier and Benoit with a boat very well maintained and prepared. A very good rental experience strongly recommend.

Weekend extra, I gave a budget and Click&Boat did the rest, I felt accompanied from beginning to end, thank you
