SailChecker Expert View
Compact & sociable The Aliex is a nimble 8.9m cruiser that punches above its weight for small groups or couples wanting an intimate sailing experience. With 2 cabins and 6 berths, it's genuinely suited to friends sailing together rather than families seeking private sleeping arrangements.
Smart essentials onboard You get the navigation basics covered, chart plotter and autopilot make solo sailing less exhausting, plus a dinghy for exploring anchorages and a fridge to keep provisions fresh. For a sub-9m boat, the equipment roster is practical and well-thought-out.
Exceptional value proposition At under €1,500 per week from Crouesty (Brittany, France), this represents genuinely competitive pricing for a 2016-built sailboat with core systems intact. If you're flying from the US or further afield, Crouesty has good road access from Paris CDG, making it a sensible Atlantic coast base.
One practical note The tight cabin layout means cohabitation works best with people who genuinely get along, this isn't a boat where you can easily escape for privacy during a rainy afternoon. Also confirm whether that 6-berth count includes any less-comfortable settee conversions, as comfort matters on week-long charters.

The marina & destination
Based at Port du Crouesty, in Arzon, France. Aliex is operated by Crouesty Location.
Quai des Voiliers
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.
