Long-term rental · aluminum expedition sailboats
Book your bluewater sailboat and make your dreams of adventure come true
Sail to the ends of the earth, for as long as you like, without the constraints of ownership, without tying up your capital and without a long and costly preparation.
Live your dreams in complete freedom and safety
For 9 to 24 months, we put at your disposal an insulated aluminum integral centerboarder, prepared for bluewater cruising and insured for a round-the-world voyage. You choose the route; we take care of the rest.
Go wherever you want!
Renting an insulated aluminum integral centerboarder means being able to sail safely and comfortably, from the high latitudes to the tropics. With the board up, less than a meter of draft lets you reach the most remote anchorages.
Personalized service
Our team advises you in planning your sailing program and supports you throughout your adventure: meetings with our partners before departure, remote assistance while you are at sea.
Safety first
Aluminum lets you sail every sea in the world without fear. Watertight compartments, an insulated hull, twin rudders and a deck saloon for an active watch further enhance safety on board, in unrivaled comfort.

Onboarding
The boat is ready — are you?
Bluewater cruising cannot be improvised; it has to be prepared. Before departure, we organize two to three weeks of intensive preparation (onboarding) so that the crew is sufficiently seasoned and knows every corner of the boat before casting off.
Handover, maneuvers, anchoring, dinghy, safety, power and water, electronics, weather and watches, onboard routines, routine maintenance, troubleshooting and repairs, checklists.
Long-haul assistance
You are never alone
Throughout the rental period, our team is at your disposal to respond to urgent needs or handle the particular situations where you feel you need support: a status check every two weeks, remote technical assistance, and a scheduled technical check after six months.
Comprehensive round-the-world insurance, a complete contractual inventory and the replacement of defective parts beyond normal wear are included.
