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.
Solid entry-level choice The First 31.7 is a proven family cruiser that suits sailors wanting accessible coastal exploration without breaking the bank. At €1,657 per week, it's genuinely affordable for a two-cabin boat with space for six, making it excellent value for groups or families splitting costs.
Practical setup You get the essentials: chart plotter and autopilot take the stress out of navigation, while the dinghy lets you explore anchorages properly. The refrigerator is a real comfort for longer trips, and the radio keeps you entertained or connected to local conditions.
Real value proposition For transatlantic travelers, Crouesty (Brittany, France) offers reasonable airport logistics, Nantes is 90 minutes away with decent connections from the US and UK. At this price point with a manageable 9.7-metre hull, you're getting honest, no-frills sailing rather than luxury.
One genuine limitation A 2010 boat at this charter price likely means older systems and potential wear, nothing alarming, but factor in that the autopilot and plotter may occasionally need TLC during a week-long charter. If you need pristine or cutting-edge tech, budget expectations should adjust accordingly.

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.
