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 Maxus 26 is an excellent boat for couples or small families new to sailing, or experienced sailors wanting a nimble, easy-to-handle vessel. At 7.6 metres, she's genuinely manageable for two people to sail comfortably, yet still sleeps six if you're happy with tight quarters.
Smart design features You get the essentials done right: chart plotter for navigation confidence, a fridge to keep provisions fresh on week-long trips, and a dinghy included, no surprise costs for getting ashore. The 2020 build year means systems are modern and reliable, which matters when you're far from home.
Excellent value proposition At €1,406 per week with a modest €2,250 deposit, this is genuinely competitive pricing for a modern sailboat in European waters. You're paying for a well-maintained boat, not premium frills, which suits independent charterers perfectly.
Space is the trade-off Two cabins for six people means shared berths and limited privacy; this boat shines with a crew of four or fewer. If you're chartering with young children or need personal space, consider stepping up to a larger model, though you'll pay noticeably more.

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.
