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 Oceanis 34 is ideal if you're new to sailing or want a relaxed, manageable boat for a small crew of up to 6. This 2014 Beneteau is a proven, straightforward design that's forgiving to handle and reliable.
Smart practical setup Three cabins and decent berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping space on a week-long charter. The essentials are covered, autopilot takes the stress out of longer passages, and the dinghy gives you flexibility to explore anchorages. Winter heating is a nice touch if you're chartering outside summer months.
Good value proposition At €3,750 deposit, the pricing sits in the accessible mid-range for a bareboat of this size and vintage in European waters. You're getting a well-maintained, no-nonsense cruiser without paying for luxury extras you don't need.
One thing to note Crouesty in Brittany is a solid base with good international airport links (Paris CDG or Nantes), but the Oceanis 34's modest beam means it's cosy rather than sprawling, fine for couples or friends, but families with young kids might feel a bit tight. Chart plotter and radio are basic by today's standards, so confirm they're in working order.

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.
