The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect starter choice The Dufour 34 suits couples and small families wanting an affordable introduction to bareboat sailing without breaking the bank. At €1,829/week, it's genuinely competitive for a two-cabin cruiser in European waters.
Solid, proven platform Dufour built thousands of these boats, they're workhorses with good resale value and established service networks. The essentials are covered: chart plotter, autopilot, and a dinghy mean you're set for coastal exploring, though the radio-CD player is more quirk than necessity these days.
Value stacks up For the price, you get a reliable, well-equipped boat that's easy to handle single-handed if needed. The modest €3,750 deposit is refreshingly reasonable compared to newer vessels.
One real limitation At 16 years old, this boat will show its age, older electrics, plumbing quirks, and potentially tired upholstery are par for the course. If you're flying long-haul from the US or beyond to reach Crouesty (Brittany, France), you'll want confirmation the boat's in genuinely good nick before committing, given the travel investment involved.

Port du Crouesty in Arzon serves as an excellent base for exploring the Gulf of Morbihan, a shallow-water paradise of islands and tidal channels that rewards careful navigation within a few miles of the marina. From here, week one typically involves short hops to Vannes, the Ile aux Moines, or southbound passages toward the Quiberon Peninsula and the Atlantic-facing Houat and Hoedic islands, all achievable within 10-20 nautical miles depending on your crew's experience with tidal waters. The marina's sheltered position and strong provisioning facilities make it ideal for crews new to the French Atlantic coast, though you should plan around the significant tidal ranges of up to 14 metres that characterise this region.
