boat hire in La Rochelle · Tes — Magnam 28 Pieds (2013)

Hello, The sailboat is a centerboarder, which means it has a beaching sole allowing it to land dry, and always flat on the sand, without the need for props. With its 0.38m draft, it can sail up rias and small rivers and beach itself very easily anywhere....and thanks to its magnificent folding aft deck, everyone (young and old) can easily step onto the beach without getting their feet wet (if you wait a few minutes), while the tide recedes a little further. At sea, an integrated swim ladder provides easy and safe access to the pool. You can take a mini virtual tour of the TES28 on the importer's website "tesyachtfrance," where videos show the interior, beaching, etc. "I only sail together: I'M ALWAYS ON BOARD." The rate is for 1 person: (allow €50/day/additional person for the 2nd person and above (discounted based on the number of days)...) Special conditions for families with children... This sailboat is new and I cherish it like the apple of my eye, and even if I'm happy to give up the helm, I always remind everyone that I'm always on board. In the area, there are idyllic spots for beautiful cruises and stopovers (Île de Ré, Île d'Oléron, Île d'Aix, Fort Boyard tour). Etc.... You can also spend a night anchored in the open sea in Aix, Ars-en-Ré, etc. But with more time (from 6/7 days...), it's possible to go further up towards Les Sables-d'Olonne, St. Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, the Isle of Yeu, Noirmoutier, etc., always depending on weather conditions, wind direction, and sea conditions. VEST REQUIRED for those who can't swim and FOR EVERYONE during more challenging weather conditions. Only slight drawback: the boat is non-smoking except in the event of a "major crisis": "Exemption possible on the aft transom if the weather is mild, at least outside..." On board, all the comfort of a new sailboat, but above all, with very large volumes and a habitability worthy of a 10-meter boat.... On deck, a bimini, companionway sprayhood, and sun awning protect against sunburn or the rain when it hits us. Takes by treachery... You can eat outside thanks to the removable table and a large communal area on deck... When you discover it on the website or at the port, you'll understand why it's the one I took the time to choose after having done the same thing with its little brother, the TES720, which I've just put up for sale, almost reluctantly.... Sincerely, Bernard PS: The tanks are filled before departure, then upon arrival at the port on the last evening! General expenses (port, fuel, food) are the responsibility of the renters. The participants are the ones who choose and pay for the nights at the ports (other than La Rochelle - free) unless we stay at anchor (free) when the weather permits. You must also factor in start-up and cleaning costs of 80 euros, knowing that I have to arrive the day before and leave the next day to prepare and maintain the boat.
