Boat rental in La Rochelle · Jeanneau — Sun Odyssey 34.2 (1997)

An ultra flexible, responsive, welcoming and caring owner We had a great time, I highly recommend Thanks again, we will come back to La Rochelle very soon, to Callie we hope!

Very good navigation aboard Callie around Oléron and Ré!

Despite a technical problem with the engine at the start, we were able to sail peacefully for the rest of the weekend. David and Bernard, available, organized the repair of the engine so that we could sail. I recommend Callie

Excellent navigation on this sailboat. Very good value for money, easy check-in, ideally placed on the port for port exits independent of the tide. I will happily replay this sailboat to its owner.

Everything went well aboard Callie. Flexible and friendly welcome from Clément.

Very pleasant boat to sail, good fittings. We reported some technical issues in the logbook. The sheets and towels are really at the end of their life, it's a shame for this type of service, as is the cockpit table. The person who welcomed and checked us out, very nice and attentive. Good sailboat, to be redone

Very nice boat, easy to sail even solo. Well equipped and maintained. I recommend!

Callie is a great boat that works great! A few small details to tinker with but nothing too bad! David is an attentive owner, and always there to answer questions! In short, a great time with the family!

Very good boat, well maintained and equipped to make the most of this beautiful sailing area that is the Antioch Pertuit. 3 cabin configuration, unusual and appreciable on a sailboat of this size. Top notch welcome

We spent a wonderful week on Callie, great weather conditions and the boat works very well (thanks, among other things, to the almost new sails). Île de Ré, Oléron, Aix, etc. But the reception on the boat was a bit disastrous. The owner was not there, so another person received us. Unfortunately, he didn't know enough about the boat and doesn't sail himself, so he couldn't answer our questions. He had to make telephone calls to operate the guide, the toilets and the depth gauge. The autopilot had just broken down a few days before (impossible to repair), no anemometer at the masthead and the weather vane was broken (the V is 45°) and the depth gauge sometimes loosens a little. After the stressful and tense arrival, we were really able to enjoy it. Being in the old port is really great.

Good sailboat in navigation, top mooring place and very reasonable price, we will come back

Great boat, excellent handling. Thanks to Sébastien for the advice

Boat as advertised and ideally located (old port!). The boat is very well equipped (including sheets and towels), and well maintained (almost new mainsail). Remember to take your binoculars, there are none on board.

Great weekend aboard Kallie, a clean and functional boat, ideally located in La Rochelle. Top bedding, comfortable and clean! Thank you for this good time

Thanks to David and Clément for their warm and efficient welcome. We will come back !

Great experience aboard Callie, the boat has the necessary comfort for 6 adults, is very well maintained and performs very well at sea in both heavy and light weather. Clément and David are very accommodating with the check-in/check-out arrangements, we will leave with Callie without hesitation!

Callie is a great boat, very comfortable and well maintained. Super welcome from David for the handling; and Clément (a friend of David) very accommodating for the check-out. Very good experience for a first navigation in the pertuis. I recommend.

David and Clement were very accommodating and available so that the cruise took place in the best conditions. Thank you also David for your proposal I will be very happy to come back for a weekend on board

We sailed on Callie for 3 days in the pertuis. Spacious and ideal boat for 5-6 people. It is well equipped and holds the sea well.

Great welcome, Clément is very nice. The boat conforms to the description. A very good weekend

Nice weekend aboard Callie with perfect communication and welcome with David and Clément when getting started. The boat is well equipped, although the walk is well balanced under sail. Impeccable engine operation. As for the sails, the genoa has a nice surface and on a furler that works perfectly fine) is a bit tired, a good mainsail and even a symmetrical spinnaker (which we couldn't test for lack of adequate wind).

Well maintained and comfortable boat. Home nickel and very flexible. Magnificent spot in the old port of La Rochelle.

Great welcome from Clément, a friend of the owner, who was super caring and responsive when contacted. The boat is in very good condition, in the heart of the port of La Rochelle, without lock. Very comfortable for 4 adults. Good wind in the area, bright sunshine, passage of the Ile de Ré bridge under sail, a great first and a great memory aboard Callie.

Very good trip on David's sailboat, no problem encountered with Callie, very good communication with Clément, a friend of David, for the handling of the sailboat and the return to port!

Thank you, it was a very good sailing weekend with your boat appreciated by the whole crew, 6 people, 3 generations of sailors from 10 to 70 years old. Clément's welcome was efficient and pleasant at the port. He provided the advance information for a good arrival. Being in the Old Port is a very good, fun experience, in the evening, on departure and on arrival!

Super Boat. Very welcoming. Very comfortable ! We had a great weekend. Too bad the equipment is not complete. I recommend :)

Thanks to David for postponing the rental, we had a great weekend aboard Callie, a well-maintained and clean boat! See you soon on the waves!

Welcome by Clément very cordial and very punctual. Very available and attentive to our requests for access to the boat and car parking. Sailboat very well maintained, pleasant and safe in navigation. Sails in very good condition. Small occasional problem with the windlass, but which did not bother us for the anchorages (moorings on dead bodies available in this season!). Navigation instruments (speedometer and anemometer) to be reviewed for further navigation. We were very satisfied with our weekend on this SO34.2.

Great week during the winter aboard Callie. You can feel that the boat is sailing, both in terms of the equipment and the layout and maintenance. It is safe and easy to handle. It is possible to sleep 7 if the person in the square is small and tolerant on comfort. Great welcome from Clément, David's friend who is accommodating and friendly.

Well equipped boat, lively at the helm. The oval square is very friendly. No worries about handling. Everything works correctly. Simple and warm welcome from Clément. We all had a pleasant stay on Callie.

We had a great weekend on David's sailboat. Boat that sails well at good speed and is well equipped with 3 cabins. The only downside is the absence of an autopilot (but as advertised) and a few maintenance points to be done (electronic weather vane, companionway hood, etc.). Nothing serious. I highly recommend !

We had a very nice welcome to pick up the sailboat. It sails well and is well maintained. We are pleased ! Experience to repeat with this boat.

Boat easy to handle, very well maintained. It is well equipped whether for navigation or life on board. The presence of complete bedding is appreciable. David is super responsive and attentive in case of questions. Thanks a lot !

Callie is a sailboat which has been very well maintained and which behaves very well at sea. Very warm welcome by Clément and Léa. An ideal location in the old port.

Super boat very well equipped, a great welcome super accommodating a big thank you!

Very good weekend on Callie, ideally placed at the old port of La Rochelle (top for the atmosphere and the setting). Boat in very good condition, and sufficiently equipped. Thanks to Clément for the handling. Everything went well.

Callie is a good boat on which we enjoy sailing. David was available before booking and his friend Clément during the rental week (thanks for the little welcome bottle!). The handling of the boat was minimalist because David could not be present on D-Day. If this happens again, it may be a bit light for a first boat handling by a beginner skipper. On the equipment side, the boat is supplied with furling genoa, symmetrical spinnaker (not tested), mainsail (3 reefs), an inflatable dinghy (not tested), an awning (well appreciated on hot days!), a removable tablet with navionics , a well-stocked set of coastal pilot paper charts of the area, the necessary for life on board (salt, pepper, coffee, sheets, pillows, toilet paper, etc.) which makes its use very pleasant! On the maintenance side, a few small points deserve verification: the speed displayed by the Speedo is wrong & the sounder bugs during shallow passages. However, thanks to Callie, we had a great week. I recommend this boat.

A host who cares about his tenants. Available and helpful. We loved being able to stay on the old port of La Rochelle. The boat performs well. The equipment is minimalist but we lack nothing. A repeat without hesitation.

Very pleasant weekend on Callie

Perfect We will reuse David's boat

A great boat, a great owner. Very friendly and accommodating. We took the boat with 20-25 knots of wind for an average speed of 6 knots over 2 days. Beautiful sensations and a magical setting in the old port of La Rochelle

We had a lovely weekend of November 11. Clément's welcome was very friendly and Bernard listened to minor electrical problems (not serious). The outrigger downhaul lanyard dropped us, luckily on the last day. No condensation in the cabins, which is appreciable in this season and especially the complete bedding, sheet, duvet etc, extremely rare service in rental

Good boat ready to sail, everything is functional Simple and effective communication. A good rental experience

This is the 2nd time that I have rented Callie for a 3-day weekend: still as satisfied with my choice. Be careful to watch the tides if you want to take advantage of the ports in the area. The boat is well equipped and very functional. The Navionics tablet could probably be reinforced/waterproof and placed closer to the helm? Thanks again to David and his team, I recommend!

The boat is compliant. The sheets and the halyards deserve to be changed, the genoa furler is very hard. The spinnaker pole downhaul lanyard dropped under sail under spinnaker. Electrical problem for the tablet power supply in nav. Otherwise all good. Reliable engine, perfect windlass. Towels and bed linens were really appreciated. A contact with Bernard and Clement top (except small failure at the start but completely repaired). Great availability and immediate responses Thank you. We took full advantage of the navigation. The presence of the spinnaker was really very significant (nice nav Yeu -- Re under spinnaker despite the faulty spinnaker pole). Once these small modifications have been made, we leave as soon as possible with this boat. I don't think the boat accommodates 8 people. 6 large max (3 couples). Auto bras for all passengers would be great (6/8 cars > 4 cars + 4 old school).

Very pleasant boat at sea, comfortable and well equipped. Very friendly owner What happiness

Boat as advertised and very nice skipper for a more than successful stay. Thank you again for this first for my children who are delighted.

Boat in line with our expectations, we had a good weekend despite the uncertain weather. David is very responsive and the exchanges are fluid and pleasant.

Very good experience, many thanks!

Superb navigation aboard CALLIE, very warm welcome and explanation of the surroundings. We thank David and his team, we will reiterate and recommend this rental. Good wind to all and greetings marines.

Very nice boat! Good habitability. Walk well in the wind Owner and contact on site very available to recommend !!@

Complies with the description in the ad. very good reception with the owner. The equipment of the sailboat conforms to the navigation, without any problem. The interiorThe location is very pleasant "cleanliness access to the center of the old port, 4 days of very nice navigation on Callie

Thanks to David and his team; boat in very good condition considering its age; a recent fairing allowed us to reach good speeds; I recommend. Stephane

Thanks to David and all his friendly, responsive and punctual team. We spent 3 excellent days of navigation in the pertuis. The boat is clean and well equipped and is located in the old port which is a plus for visits (a little more complicated to park, however). I recommend with eyes closed. We will come back because the body of water is well worth several stays!

The boat had some maintenance issues, however David made a commercial gesture and kept me informed of the repairs!

We had a very nice stay aboard Callie. Bernard was on hand to answer all of our questions. The sailboat met our expectations.

Very nice home. You can feel the friendly and passionate owners of the sea. We are very satisfied with our stay. To improve: renovation of some coatings in the cabins and in particular the separation of the engine and captain's cabin to avoid the smell of fuel.

CALLIE is an efficient and safe boat, the only thing missing is an autopilot, occasionally useful when two people are sailing. Very responsive and very friendly "owner" contacts, very flexible appointment logistics, thank you, it was perfect, we will come back.

This boat is very good with a very good quality / price ratio. Adrien who welcomed us is very nice. What's more, it's very pleasant to have space at the port in the old port!

Good boat for 6 people. He is not young but he responds well. The team is top notch and the welcome too. To re-let without hesitation

While waiting for an autopilot, the boat is very pleasant with its 3 cabins. Very good navigation. I recommend. Lionel

Sailboat in good general condition, comfortable and maneuverable. Welcome, perfect communication and David will help you with any questions you may have about navigation. An autopilot would be welcome. To be done again without hesitation!

very complete boat, with sheets, duvets, towels, all cooking condiments and more on board. Better equipped than any rental boat I have had to date. David is a caring and pleasant owner, full of great advice on the boat, the sailing area etc. I highly recommend and will be back soon. Thanks David

3 very pleasant days on board. Good general condition and well equipped, we will gladly return to sail in your beautiful region.

A great boat for a great weekend, where beginners were able to learn about sailing while experienced ones improved their skills. To renew, thank you David

We had a great week aboard Callie, with great days at sea. The boat is very comfortable and well equipped for 6 people on board, whether in the kitchen or for navigation. David is accommodating, always reachable for good advice before and during the navigation. The handling and the exit inventory went very well, I recommend.

Very nice outing. To redo. Thank you.

Sailing in somewhat rough conditions. Everything went well and everything is functional on the boat. New equipment will improve the level of equipment.
