Additional services and extras may include but are not limited to food and beverages, water sports activities equipment etc. Generally, a separate payment will be required for fuel and this will also vary depending on the type of boat you decide on.

What is the best time to visit Granville?

The best season to visit Granville will depend on your plans and what you intend on doing!

If you’re seeking sun, the summer months of June, July and August offer warm temperatures, with an average temperature of 21℃. These months are considered peak season. The winds tend to be light and variable during this period, which are perfect conditions for novice sailors to brush up on their skills. If you are looking for a more relaxed getaway, consider the low and shoulder seasons in May, September and October. The weather will still be pleasant, with cooler evenings. In the shoulder season, from May to October, there is a greater chance of experiencing stronger winds and more challenging sailing conditions.

It's worth noting that the tides in Granville can be quite strong, with a significant range, which can make maneuvering in the port and sailing in the area more challenging.

Should I charter a boat in Granville with or without a skipper?

At Nautal, we have a wide range of rentals available from bareboat charters to skippered boat rentals. If you have a licence to sail in your possession and have the requisite experience, you can simply apply the without skipper filter to find your dream charter.

However, a skipper has the ability to turn a simple charter into an elevated experience! There are many benefits to having a skipper onboard for both avid and novice sailors alike. Our skippers are sailing savants who will take care of technicalities such as docking and mooring. With a skipper at the helm, they will navigate the vessel and make sure you hit all the spots on your itinerary, leaving you to relax and fully take in the stunning vistas. Skippers can also serve as an extra set of hands in case of emergencies.

But perhaps the most attractive aspect of including a skipper in your rental, is that you will explore the area through the eyes of a local. They will know Granville like the back of their hand and can lead you to hidden gems that you might not find by yourself.

Which type of boat is best for a Granville boat rental?

Choosing the right boat for your yacht charter in Granville is crucial to ensure a memorable holiday experience. It's important to consider the amount of time you'll be spending on the water to select a comfortable vessel that caters to all your needs. For shorter trips that last less than a week, a daily charter such as a motorboat or RIB should suffice. However, for longer holidays, a more spacious vessel like a catamaran or yacht with amenities like a kitchen, bathroom, and cabins would be ideal. These vessels come equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. If you prefer a more traditional sailing experience, a sailboat could be a great option, but keep in mind that they can be difficult to navigate, so choosing one with a skipper is advisable.
