Here is a vintage boat that’s got some style ! Ideally designed for a couple or a small family, the Classic Couple boat has the benefit of being one of the most economical boat of the market. It is also reputed for its look and its easy navigation.

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.

The marina & destination

Based at Grez-Neuville, in Grez-Neuville, France. Colvert is operated by Anjou Navigation.

Why this is a great starting point

Grez-Neuville sits on the Maine river in the Loire Valley, offering access to a network of inland waterways rather than coastal cruising; week one typically involves navigating locks upstream toward Angers or downstream toward the Oudon confluence, with gentle river scenery and small villages as destinations. This base suits charterers seeking a slower pace of cruising with manageable daily distances, french inland cuisine, and the chance to explore châteaux-lined valleys rather than open water. Note that this is river cruising requiring lock experience or willingness to learn; it's not suitable for those expecting Aegean-style sailing.

Can Colvert be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Colvert 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 Colvert?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
