boat hire in Bonifacio · Fountaine Pajot — Astréa 42 (2024)

Mylène and Pierrick, catamaran owners Catamaran rental with skipper (mandatory), supplies (optional), hostess (optional), and efoil (optional) As the boat's owners—and navigation and safety professionals—we welcome you to make your stay a unique experience of relaxation and discovery, in a friendly atmosphere. We want to offer you the same bed and breakfast concept as a boat: you're on a guest catamaran! We attach great importance to hospitality. You'll experience truly authentic and friendly moments, in harmony with nature. We put our energy into ensuring your well-being, while respecting your privacy. We look forward to sharing our passion and expertise with you to make your maritime adventure unforgettable. The suggested itinerary is for information purposes only, but it may vary completely depending on your preferences and the weather. Departure/arrival remains in Bonifacio (flights to Figari or ferries from Porto-Vecchio). We can easily communicate with you in French, English, or Italian. A skilled crew: After several years of sailing for pleasure, we have acquired the necessary qualifications to ensure the quality of your experience aboard our guest catamaran. Our collaboration as husband and wife reflects our ability to work as a team, amply proven in our respective professional careers. Our complementary skills allow us to adapt easily to your needs, ensuring a smooth sailing experience and special moments at sea. Your safety and satisfaction are at the heart of our commitment. We are both passionate about sailing. We love the intimacy, conviviality, and simplicity of life on a boat. In 2024, we left our management positions in industry and administration to devote our lives to sharing our passion and discovering the treasures of the Mediterranean. A high-end, latest-generation catamaran Designed for cruising, our new Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 catamaran is among the most comfortable and modern boats in its class. The interior and exterior layouts contribute equally to preserving privacy and fostering conviviality. It offers ample space while remaining on a manageable scale. As you step aboard, you'll discover the immense swim platform, which lowers 40 centimeters below the waterline, for easy sea bathing. The generous cockpit welcomes you with a large dining table, a plancha, and a small refrigerator. At the bow of the Astréa 42, the sunbathing areas and generous nets are ideal spaces for relaxing naps or sunset drinks. The interior of the boat offers comfort and conviviality. The spacious saloon features large bay windows that flood the salon with natural light. The centralized U-shaped galley, connected to the cockpit, promotes conviviality and everyday convenience. Three virtually identical cabins (a fourth for the skipper) each have their own bathroom. Two cabins offer a shared shower but a separate toilet and sink area. One cabin has its own bathroom (shower head at the sink with shower curtain). Thanks to our catamaran's self-sufficient water and electricity supply, there's no need to stop in ports. Only the weather can disrupt the schedule, ensuring safe sailing. Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning. Eco-responsible cruising Respect for the environment is important to us. Choosing to travel by sailboat, powered solely by the wind, is already a strong commitment to eco-responsibility. On our catamaran, we go further by minimizing the environmental impact of your stay as much as possible. Sailing uses gentle propulsion as much as possible: sails for the catamaran and an electric motor for the tender. The boat is equipped with sustainable technologies such as a watermaker for water autonomy and photovoltaic panels for electricity. We only offer water activities without a motor (paddleboarding, snorkeling, etc.) or with an electric motor (mini-sea scooter and e-foil). We provide cosmetic products that have a lesser impact on marine life and flora. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products. We use local and certified organic food products whenever possible when preparing meals (if a provisioning option is available). Whichever option is chosen, Mylène will remain on board to assist the captain. Children under 10 years old will not be accepted (though discussions can still be held for children 8 years and older) for safety reasons.
