About this yacht
The Classic Family Boat : all the modern comfort in a vintage look ! Ideally designed for a family or two couples of friends, this renovated boat, one of its kind, is also the most economic of our two cabin boats … And would make the most recent boat design blush !
SailChecker Expert View

I appreciate you sharing this listing, but I need to be straightforward: I don't have enough reliable data to give you a proper assessment of this vessel. The listing is missing several critical details, no base location, no price per week, no engine specs, no equipment breakdown beyond a deposit amount, and no photos or condition notes. For a 37-year-old houseboat, those gaps are significant.

What I can say: At 11.2 metres with 2 cabins sleeping 8, you're looking at compact, shared-space cruising, fine for a tight-knit group willing to accept basic comfort. Anjou Navigation operates in the French waterways system (Loire, Burgundy region typically), which is wonderful for leisure cruising if that's your interest.

The honest caveat: Without seeing the actual weekly rate, condition photos, or knowing which waterway this operates on, I can't tell you if the €3000 deposit represents good value or a warning sign of hidden costs. A 1987 houseboat needs transparent maintenance history.

My recommendation: Contact Anjou Navigation directly and ask for the full specification sheet, current charter rate, recent condition report, and photos. That's the only way to decide if Bergeronnette suits your trip. Happy to help once you have those details.

The marina & destination

Based at Sablé-sur-Sarthe, in Sablé-sur-Sarthe, France. Bergeronnette is operated by Anjou Navigation.

Why this is a great starting point

Sablé-sur-Sarthe sits on the Sarthe River in the Loire Valley and serves as an inland cruising base rather than a coastal one. Week 1 cruising typically covers the gentle river system toward Le Mans or downstream toward the Maine confluence, with lock transits required; this suits clients seeking a slower-paced, cultural cruise through French countryside rather than open-water sailing. The location works well if you want to combine boating with wine regions and châteaux visits, though it is not a suitable starting point if your week 1 plan involves coastal sailing or significant distance.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bergeronnette be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Bergeronnette bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Bergeronnette?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
