boat hire in Hyères · Herbulot — Beaufort 14 (1975)

Attention /!\ Pirate ship /!\ This isn't the sanitized, Formica-Ikea-white gelcoat boat you'd find on traditional charters! Aluna is a boat like they don't make anymore! One of a kind, extremely charming and comfortable, with old fittings, and many repairs carried out with the means at hand. 15m ketch, completely refitted and refitted by the owner in 2017, using his own modest means. The presence of a boat expert on board is mandatory given the number of unique features of this boat. Two double cabins are available (I'm keeping one for myself) + the possibility of adding a bed in the saloon, but 6 people on board is already quite a lot! An all-wood boat, with a homemade interior, a toilet and hot shower, and a porthole with a view of the fish (much appreciated by the little ones). The tender has a good engine (when it's running, don't you have a friend who works on Mercury outboards?) allowing for waterskiing and wakeboarding... Snorkeling equipment (tank, wetsuit, fins, mask, snorkel), fishing gear, a 2-seater canoe, beach toys, an air compressor with 15m of hose and regulator, and a 6-person life raft (not serviced since 2019... but it's indestructible, right?) Great atmosphere with the skipper/captain: musician, smoking is fine, alcohol is fine, but not excessive, top speed 5 knots, no need to force the shrouds! And the engine is only turned on in case of emergency! Long live silence and slowness. Available for rental to offset the costs of this money pit and have more resources for general maintenance! Boat visible at anchor in the boat harbor on the Giens Peninsula. More photos and videos upon request.
