What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
40 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
I appreciate the interest, but I need to be straight with you: this listing is missing some crucial information that would help me give you a proper assessment.
What we know: Colvert is a 1986 Eau Claire 930 houseboat, a compact, shallow-draft vessel suited to inland waterways rather than coastal cruising. At 9.3 metres with one cabin sleeping six, it's clearly designed for groups willing to share tight quarters, likely on rivers like the Loire or Rhône rather than open water.
The missing pieces: Without knowing the base location, exact facilities, or what's included in the charter rate, I can't tell you if this represents good value or help you factor in travel logistics from your home airport. The €2,500 deposit suggests reasonable pricing for a six-berth vessel, but that's only half the story.
My honest advice: Contact Anjou Navigation directly and ask for the full spec, where it operates, the weekly rate, fuel policy, and how far the nearest international airport is. Once you have that, you'll know whether it suits a budget-conscious group adventure or if you'd be better served by a newer, better-equipped boat elsewhere.
