About this trip

Hello, The sailboat is a centerboarder, meaning it has a grounding keel allowing it to be beached on dry land, perfectly flat on the sand, without the need for legs.

With a draft of 0.38m, it can navigate rias and small streams and is very easy to beach almost anywhere... and thanks to its magnificent folding swim platform, everyone (young and old) can easily go ashore without getting their feet wet (if you wait a few minutes) while the tide recedes a little further.

At sea, an integrated swim ladder provides easy and safe access to swimming.

You can take a mini virtual tour of the TES28 on the importer's website, "tesyachtfrance," where videos show the interior, beaching, etc.

"I only do co-navigation: I AM ALWAYS ON BOARD."

The price is for 1 person: (add €50/day/additional person from the second person onwards (price decreases depending on the number of days)...) Special conditions apply for families with children...

This sailboat is brand new, and I cherish it dearly. Even though I'm happy to let someone else take the helm, I want to reiterate that I am always on board. There are idyllic spots in the area for beautiful excursions and stopovers (Île de Ré, Île d'Oléron, Île d'Aix, Fort Boyard, etc.). You can also spend a night at anchor in the open sea near Aix, Ars-en-Ré, etc. But with more time (6 or 7 days or more), it's possible to sail further north towards Les Sables-d'Olonne, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Île d'Yeu, Noirmoutier, etc., depending on the weather conditions, wind direction, and sea state.

A LIFE JOB IS MANDATORY for those who cannot swim and FOR EVERYONE in rough weather.

The only slight drawback: smoking is not permitted on the boat except in the event of a major crisis. An exception may be made on the swim platform if the weather is favorable, but only outside.

On board, you'll find all the comforts of a new sailboat, but above all, very spacious and with living areas comparable to a 10-meter boat. On deck, the bimini, sprayhood, and sun awning provide shelter from sunburn or rain when it catches you. Treachery... You can eat outside thanks to the removable table and a large communal area on deck...

When you see it on the website or in the harbor, you'll understand why this is the one I took the time to choose, after having done the same with its little brother, the TES720, which I've just put up for sale, almost reluctantly... Best regards, Bernard

PS: Fuel tanks are filled before departure, and again upon arrival in port on the last evening!

General expenses (port fees, fuel, food) are the responsibility of the renters.

The participants choose and pay for overnight stays in ports (other than La Rochelle - free) unless we stay at anchor (free) when the weather permits. You should also budget for a setup and cleaning fee of 80 euros, as I have to arrive the day before and leave the next day to prepare and maintain the boat.
