boat hire in Saint-Tropez · Guy Couach — 1701 (1993)

We had a fabulous day out on the boat for a friends hen do. David and Lucie were lovely, and although there was a language barrier (totally our fault being unable to speak French) we had a great day out on the water - we bbq’d on the boat dipped in the ocean. Would highly recommend.

Great day out at sea with David. Great service and great yacht Thanks David !

We were with 15 friends. We had a great day on the boat, the shippers were great host. I can only recommend a trip on this boat!!

This was our second excursion with David, and it was just as amazing as the first time. Anastasia was an attentive and gracious hostess. They, along with Sara, were an excellent crew. We swam and paddle-boarded in beautiful Cap Taillat, and we hope to return again soon!

Nice trip with nice captains. Had no problems

The booking via the app and the communication in advance worked great. The boat is very outdated. I didn't see that the boat should have been renovated in 2019. I have chartered a few boats and I have never had to pay for fuel in advance. We had to pay 650 euros at the beginning and we never used the fuel during the day. All in all, I would choose another provider.

Absolutely loved our day out with David! David and Lea were very hospitable and boat was well kept.

We had the most perfect day on David’s beautiful boat in St. Tropez! He really made our trip to the French Riviera, taking us over to Club 55 and then giving us the afternoon on the boat afterwards. We planned it as part of our friends bridal celebrations and it was definitely her and our highlight. I could not recommend the boat enough - perfect for a party or celebration with all the space to sunbathe on the boat and also an incredible sound system onboard. Thank you again for making our trip to St Tropez so special, David.

We had a good time on the boat. Although the communication wasn’t 100%. In the app it said from 09:00 untill 18:00. We arrived at 09:00 and called David, and he said that he would arrive around 10:30 and be back at 17:00. Also… We had to pay €950 gasoline before we left. Upon arrival at the port, he still had half a tank of gas left but didn’t refund us. Normally the boat arrives filled with gas and at the end, the client pays the difference. So if you book with David, tell him to do so. Or you will pay too much for gas. The boat is equipped with 2 boards and a canoe but when I wanted to use a board, David said there was too much wind. This was untrue, many people were boarding. I suspect he just didn’t want to go through the hassle of loosening the cables and taking the board of the boat. A bit lazy in my opinion. Overall we had a good time.

The experience was amazing, very friendly and let you to use everything. Thank you for the experience David

Lovely man, great boat, gorgeous day well worth it!

Very nice trip

Had a very good half day trip with David! He was able to pick us up from a port nearer to Frejus which cut down our commute and was very appreciated. Boat is spacious and well equipped. We were 6 adults and 3 children (7 months, 2 and 4) and it was great just pulling into a quiet bay and playing in the calm waters. Only surprise that there was an additional €235 to pay for petrol which we were told about after booking and only a few hours before departing - unfortunately this was not made clear to us before booking when I’d asked for the total price. Fortunately we were able to stump up the cash but calling it out here as others might not be able to. Still had a great day out and would recommend David and his boat though!!

They had no towels. It was not very comfortable. A pillow flew off the boat from wind and they asked me to pay for it! ;/

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. The boat is old. It is NOT REFURBISHED. It is unpleasant with ripped cushions and terrible interiors. Skipper demanded that we fill up his boat for €600 at the beginning of journey. We have rented many times and this is the first time we were asked something like this. We spent 20 minutes at a gas station. When we told him we didn’t think our journey (basically around St Tropez and Maxime) would cost more than €300, he got enraged and told us “no €600, no boat”. Although we paid €500 for a return Nice-St Tropez trip one month prior and knew he was ripping us off, it was our friends’ last day in St Tropez and we felt we had no choice but to accept or ruin their day. To make matters worse David yelled and cursed at us for not speaking French. He then proceeded to drive the slowest speed possible and refused to speed up. St Tropez to Cap Talliat took 1.5hrs!!! Dinghies we’re going faster than us. When we showed him another review complaining about our same issue, he cursed at us and threatened to immediately drop us back at harbour (of course it was an empty threat because he would not discuss returning our money). Sure enough, at the end of the day when we returned, the fuel gage was at 95%. David refused to even discuss the fuel cost. We feel we were defrauded and stolen from, and we avoid to avoid this boat at all costs. Unacceptable.

Belle expérience

We had a really good time on board! David is soo nice and relaxed :) maybe the next time some more glasses, but in the end it was a beautiful experience, thanks!
