Boat in very good condition and a great welcome from Frederic. Ideal for enjoying the bay of Quiberon.
We loved our weekend aboard Pura Vida: the boat is very well maintained, equipped with absolutely everything you could need during your stay, and the navigation is very pleasant. We were really well received by Frédéric, a big thank you to him!
Fred is a great owner, friendly welcome, he took the time to explain the little details of his boat to us for a smooth sailing. A welcome gift was waiting for us on board. The very seaworthy boat brought us safely back to port in winds of 7 to 9 gusts. with 2 reefs in the mainsail and 1/3 of the genoa close-hauled I recommend Fred and his boat
Thank you Frederic for the welcome and the availability throughout the rental! The boat was great, we had everything we needed on board.
We had a great weekend aboard Fred's sailboat. As per the instructions and well maintained. Perfect handling with all the explanations on how the boat works. Fred is also very accommodating. Thank you Fred and fair winds!
The boat perfectly matches the description, and Frédéric is very accommodating. I recommend!
Great welcome and complete and clear support. Boat well equipped and carefully maintained. We hope to sail again one day on Pura Vida
Excellent experience. Very friendly welcome and efficient handling with Fred, a nice person with solid experience in navigation. Pura Vida is seaworthy, well maintained and well equipped.
Frédéric is very accommodating, very good communication upstream. He gave us a very complete introduction by answering all our questions, which is very appreciable and allows us to leave with peace of mind! The boat is very well equipped and easy to handle, with everything you need for life on board. The layout inside is very well thought out, and you will probably find what you forgot to bring (phone chargers, lamp, mittens, and so on...) Big bonus for the solar panel which allows you to be autonomous in electricity and not worry about charging the battery. We will come back to rent without hesitation!
Very warm welcome from Fred, boat conforms to the description, I recommend...
To rent with your eyes closed. A top-notch welcome, a presentation of the boat automatically allowing a good handling. Functional equipment and necessary spare parts. A seaworthy and safe boat. Frédéric is warm and accommodating, his boat is in his image!
Thank you Frederic for your availability. There really is everything you need on the boat.
Great location, accommodating and no bad surprises, only good ones! I recommend!
By being very accommodating, by giving us very clear explanations, showing a good knowledge of his boat, Frédéric allowed us to have a very good weekend, without any unpleasant surprises. I will be delighted to sail on Pura-Vida again if the opportunity presents itself. A big thank you for all this Frédéric!
Hello, Sporty cruise boat ideal for sailing over several days, comfortable and practical, no longer look for business, everything is super well organized. 3 bottles of iced water lasted us 4 days in the fridge! So that’s the best, thank you Fred!
Great weekend spent for two on this aquila, the boat is well maintained, well equipped, clean, new engine, top sail sets, in short a treat, the boat performs well. A pleasure to sail with, you feel safe. Fred is great, impeccable communication, accommodating with schedules. The explanations are clear. To sum up, rent with your eyes closed. Thanks again for everything we will come back.
Great grip. Boat with good value for money.
The boat conforms to the description, it is very well maintained and organized!!! We hadn't had the opportunity to go sailing for some time and Frédéric took the time to take a good tour of the boat and this reassured us. The welcome, the advice, the little touches at the top! A very pleasant boat and easy to maneuver. I recommend !!!!
We rented Pura Vida with friends perfect for a weekend. Frédéric is super nice! I recommend !
Very good sailing on Pura Vida, Frederic's boat, I highly recommend. Pura vida is very seaworthy and well thought out for navigation. Many small details have been thought of to simplify navigation. In addition, the comfort in the boat is also of good quality. Frederic is very accommodating and friendly. He carries out a complete debrief before handing over the boat. This allows you to leave without any surprises. Good navigation to all
Welcome from Fred and very nice navigation on Pura Vida! The boat goes upwind well and is easily maneuverable by two people. Life on board is pleasant. We recommend, see you soon and thank you again! Mélissa and Lorélie
Excellent welcome, very well maintained boat. I recommend.
Excellent welcome from the owner with a complete tour of the boat which is very appreciable! Boat conforms to the description, pleasant to handle, very good stay!
Very pleasant sailboat for a cruise in southern Brittany. Welcome and communication with Frédérique at the top!
Pura Vida proved to be very pleasant during these 3 days on board. Fred has thought of everything - the boat is clean, well equipped and super maintained, and kept in great condition despite its age. Super grip and very good contact with Fred, really nice including to manage the small collision that we experienced at La Trinité. To recommend !
Boat from the 80s but well maintained and particularly well equipped, with very appreciable clever fittings :) It's a real pleasure to enjoy Frederic's boat, very friendly, who takes care of his boat as much as the welcome he gives to his tenants! We were delighted that he shared with us his taste for navigation and his recommendations in the surroundings…
Thanks to Frédéric, for his kindness, and all his explanations before departure. His boat is very well equipped, and very seaworthy. Despite very humid and windy weather, we have a few outings, and we had a very good stay. Her trolling lines are well equipped and fish very well even at 5/6 knots. Regards and fair winds. Anne, Marcel and Jean-Michel
We had a great time aboard Pura Vida. From the friendly welcome to the departure (just as friendly) we had no bad surprises. Fred's explanations were complete and precise. Very satisfied with the functional electrical installation. We will definitely repeat this experience.
Very well received by Frédéric for the handling. The boat is very well equipped for a rental and very pleasant to navigate in small groups.
We spent 5 days aboard Pura Vida with 3 people. Fred's explanations and the good preparation of the boat allowed us to quickly take control of the boat. On the program: Houat tour of Belle Ile and the island of monks. The boat is very livable and well equipped In summary, an ideal rental
Fred's sailboat is generally well equipped, safe and functional for 2-person sailing. Good sails, self-tailing winches, halyard referrals and cockpit bumps, new engine... A pleasure! Fred is clear in the starting pass. Friendly contact.
We had an excellent stay on Frédéric & Noémie's Aquila, the contact was very good from the start to the end of the rental. The boat is clean, tidy and in good condition (new engine!) for safe coastal navigation! After a good introduction we were able to enjoy the pleasures of Quiberon Bay and the Gulf of Morbihan. Thank you !
Great rental. The boat was very good and Fred very friendly! We had a very nice cruise.
Great rental experience with this Aquila. The boat is not recent, but it is reassuring and very well maintained by Frédéric who does not hesitate to leave everything necessary on board with attention to detail and perfection. Fred is, moreover, ultra friendly and accommodating. A very good memory
Very happy with our four days of sailing with this aquila in very good condition and the comfort that goes with it.
Everything went really well aboard the Aquila of Fred and his companion! The boat is in excellent condition and works very well (both in dead calm and in the breeze). We were able to enjoy this day at sea together serenely thanks to Fred's clear explanations. To do again!
Very good stay on board. The boat has its age and is well "in its own juice", but Frederic has done everything to make our stay as good as possible. Very good explanations at the start and help getting started which will allow you to have a good time. Thanks to Frederic for his very friendly welcome.
Fred was very accommodating in organizing our week. The boat is in very good condition and very pleasant to sail. The equipment is complete. Thank you ??
Safe boat, exellent to sail with 4, and to know that it has a comfort of the 80s. A little too loaded by its owner (too bad because it would work better) Frédéric is very welcoming, explains to you well how the boat works. We had an excellent week in good weather and an almost permanent easterly wind, the best for the bay of Quiberon. I recommand it. Joel

Je navigue depuis 27 ans en ayant d’abord appris par des stages à l’école de voile des Glenans, puis j’ai loué des voiliers durant plusieurs années en Bretagne et en Méditerranée, participé au Tour du Finistère à la Voile comme équipier. En 2005, j’ai acheté mon premier bateau que j’ai gardé 15 ans. Mon bateau actuel est au crouesty et me permets de profiter pleinement de la baie de Quiberon que je connais pour y évoluer très régulièrement depuis toutes ces années. J’ai embarqué très souvent et régulièrement des amis et de les famille pour des navigations à chaque fois comme chef de bord. Ma compagne Noemie aujourd’hui découvre et apprend avec grand plaisir et confiance la voile de croisière à mes côtés. On y passe des moments extraordinaires. Je suis infirmier anesthésiste, j’ai le sens des responsabilités et possède l’humilité et la bonne humeur. La mer, ses contraintes et ses bonheurs, est un élément essentiel de ma vie, dans un cadre de partage.
