boat hire in Istres · Kirie - Feeling — Feeling 10.40 (1986)

Embark on the Kirie FEELING 10.40! Located in Istres on the Étang de Berre, it's an excellent choice for a self-sufficient cruise. As a sailing instructor, I chose this boat to open a cruising school and offer high-quality training to my students. The boat is very well-equipped to guarantee comfort and safety. It has solar panels for complete autonomy, and its water reserves allow you to last up to a week, with washing products suitable for seawater. The dishes are complete and new. It is also equipped with an inflatable dinghy, a sprayhood and bimini to protect you from the sun, a large cockpit table, solar panels, and modern electronics for easy navigation. The functional holding tank allows you to stop in any port or anchorage close to the beaches. For more experienced sailors, it's possible to sail with a spinnaker for a more exhilarating experience. The standing rigging is new, as is the furler, and I repainted the exterior at the end of 2023. Much of the interior varnish was redone in early 2025. I am very committed to improving any points that have been raised. For example, the persistent cheese smell from the refrigerator, which you may have seen mentioned in a comment, has been resolved. The boat is currently moored at the Étang de Berre (on the waiting list for a berth), but I can exceptionally move it to the Mediterranean coast, particularly around Port-de-Bouc. Alternatively, I can make it available to you the evening before so you can take advantage of the 9:00 AM opening of the Martigues bridge and enjoy a picturesque start to your trip, sailing through the Provençal Venice, past the Miroir aux Oiseaux (Bird Mirror), and under the viaduct and the SNCF railway bridge, a listed historical monument.
