Boat rental in Ajaccio · Beneteau — First 456 (1984)

Charter a 14-meter sailboat and its captain for the cruise of your choice! With family or friends, you'll sail safely within a legal framework, supervised by a licensed, experienced, and insured captain. No special knowledge is required. It's your vacation, and it's your boat for the duration of the charter. You'll feel at home on board! YOUR BOAT This is a 14-meter sloop built by the Bénéteau shipyards to a design by German Frers. Excellent sailing performance (especially upwind), smooth movements, warm interiors, wooden interior (teak), generous fittings, complete wardrobe (spinnaker, lightweight genoa, staysail), teak deck, solar panels, platform, swim ladder, cockpit table, motorized tender, etc. Efficient and comfortable: water heater, watermaker, 220-liter refrigerator, multifunction microwave oven, electric toilet, kitchen utensils and tableware for 8 people, etc. The safety equipment and navigation equipment far exceed what is required by regulations: 8-seater raft, DSC VHF, automatic life jackets, radar, autopilot, GPS chart plotter, electronic wind/anemometer, etc. This boat was completely refitted in 2015 and has been perfectly maintained since then. The living space has been expanded: a lookout station under a new roof, a wider saloon, new equipment, upholstery, new bedding, etc. LIFE ON BOARD You enjoy the benefits of being an owner without the drawbacks. You invite the guests of your choice. You organize life on board as you see fit. You decide to extend or shorten ports of call, or to modify the schedule. Depending on the weather and the route, night sailing may be considered to allow you to enjoy ports of call and anchorages longer. The ship's total sleeping capacity and safety equipment allow it to accommodate 8 people for offshore cruising and 10 people for coastal cruising. However, for the success of your cruise, for your comfort, and to preserve everyone's privacy, Quetzal and her captain invite you to limit your number of people to four and to use 2 of the 3 cabins. Rates are also designed to make private charters accessible to a couple with children, two couples of friends, etc. However, groups or families of up to six people are still welcome. In this case, the three double cabins and the forward head are reserved for your exclusive use. A 20% surcharge on the rental amount will be required, payable on site. In this configuration, the captain uses a berth in the saloon, separated by a curtain, and has a private bathroom. The captain is in charge of the boat's maneuvering, navigation, and technical maintenance. If you wish, he shares his knowledge in the areas of your choice: maneuvering, navigation, etc. He also participates in group tasks. When anchored, he drops you off ashore and returns to pick you up for a walk or a meal at the restaurant. YOUR CAPTAIN I've been sailing for 40 years. More unique (and arguably rarer...), I possess all the qualifications required by French law and insurance companies. I am also insured for civil liability for this activity up to €10 million. I am also an accredited instructor for the 200 sailing captain's certificate, which is, to date, the only certificate allowing one to legally assume the role of skipper on a chartered sailboat or a sailboat owned by a charter owner. It certainly doesn't guarantee the captain's good humor or sense of conviviality, but the absence of this certificate exposes you to enormous complications at the slightest incident. Aside from my skills, my experience...and my good humor, I assure you of total discretion before, during, and after your cruise. You be the judge! I am available to answer all your questions and get to know you better before embarking. YOUR CRUISE PROGRAM It is tailored to your wishes and taking into account the composition of your crew. The weather, in summer and in the Mediterranean, rarely disrupts plans but may require some adjustments. We discuss this together before departure. You choose whether to prioritize sailing or time spent at anchor. I guide and advise you, but the decision is yours. A sailboat is more than just a means of transportation. Sailing can bring as much pleasure to the helmsman as it does to the reader of a thriller comfortably stretched out on deck (library on board). Are you drawn to white sand beaches? Do you have children? The program is adaptable to suit everyone. Do you enjoy napping? You will be rocked and delighted. THE PRICES INDICATED IN THE CHARTER RATES These include the rental of the sailboat and its equipment (motorized dinghy, fishing gear, fins, masks, snorkels, etc.) as well as comprehensive insurance. This covers material damage caused to the boat or a third party, as well as bodily injury suffered by the renter or caused to a third party. These prices do not include the captain's services (€350/day), food for the crew, including the skipper, fuel, any port or mooring taxes, or the cleaning fee (€200), which is mandatory after one or more nights on board. Sheets and towels can be provided for €25/person/week. Finally, and as indicated above, a 20% surcharge on the rental amount will be required if you use all three cabins. These additional costs must be paid on site from the first day of rental.
