First 31.7 | Tiaga

Q: Can Tiaga be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Tiaga 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.

Q: What sailing licence do I need to charter Tiaga?

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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

The First 31.7 is one of Bénéteau's most successful models. This racer-cruiser sailboat remains one of the finest of its generation. Its hull, under 10 meters, is inspired by the renowned racing sailboat, the Figaro Bénéteau. This charter sailboat appeals to sailing enthusiasts seeking elegance, speed, and comfort for cruising.

The Bénéteau First 31.7 is highly sought after among racer-cruisers, offering dynamic sailing thanks to its streamlined hull, long keel, and optimized rigging. Equipped with essential performance features like a mainsail, furling genoa, and sprayhood, it provides a smooth, clutter-free sailing experience.

With two large cabins and two bunks in the saloon, it accommodates up to six crew members. Quick at any speed and well-equipped, this boat is perfect for fast-cruise enthusiasts.

Cruising-racing sailboat. Tiller. Symmetrical spinnaker. Single rudder. GPS plotter at the chart table.

Perfect starter choice. The First 31.7 is an ideal boat for couples or small families new to bareboat sailing, or anyone wanting a nimble, easy-to-handle vessel. At 9.6 metres, it's forgiving enough to build confidence without feeling cramped.

Solid practical kit. You get the essentials: chart plotter for navigation, lazy bag to simplify sail handling, sprayhood for weather protection, and a dinghy included. The refrigerator is a genuine comfort on week-long charters, small detail, but it matters when you're provisioning fresh food.

Excellent value proposition. At under €1,700 per week with two cabins sleeping six, this works out as genuinely affordable per-person, especially for a 2007 boat still in active charter rotation. The €3,200 deposit is reasonable.

One practical note: We don't have the base location listed here, so you'll want to confirm where Loc Voile Armor operates before booking flights, transfer times and airport proximity matter when you're flying long-haul. Once you know the base, check whether it's EU-friendly for paperwork and whether English is widely spoken among the local support team.

The marina & destination

Based at Port d'Armor, in Saint-Quay-Portrieux, France. Tiaga is operated by Loc Voile Armor.

Why this is a great starting point

Port d'Armor in Saint-Quay-Portrieux sits on Brittany's north coast and offers straightforward access to the Channel Islands and the sheltered waters of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc. From here, week one typically involves exploring the dramatic granite coastline eastward toward Dinard and Saint-Malo, or westward to the Île de Bréhat, with reliable westerly winds making these short hops ideal for settling into your rhythm. The marina also positions you well for longer passages across to Jersey or Guernsey, depending on your crew's experience and the forecast.

Can Tiaga be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Tiaga 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'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.
