Dufour 410 Grand Large (2013)

!!! ATTENTION !!! Suite to the troubles encountered during the last rentals, we will only accept rentals for a minimum of 2 WEEKS. In case of a 3-week rental, they will be offered at a very advantageous rate. Thank you for your understanding. !!! ATTENTION !!! True Blood is a very nice Dufour 410 from 2013, with 3 cabins and 1 bathroom. It's our family sailboat that we sail with during the month of August, but we don't have the opportunity to enjoy it all year round. It is a very safe and comfortable sailboat. The spaces are huge for a 41-foot sailboat, especially the exterior which is very pleasant. Equally at ease at anchor as at sea, it is an ideal boat for 4 to 6 people. We will leave all our equipment: snorkel mask, paddle, kayak for 4 people (two adults and 2 children). No dinghy on board, with the kayak you can go for a ride, go to the port to shop and access any beach, even those forbidden to motorized dinghies. Equipped with solar panels and a wind turbine, the boat is self-sufficient in energy, during the month of August we never connect to electricity. In addition, 360 liters of fresh water and a black water tank allow for long stays at anchor... In the kitchen, gas hob and oven, and a large fridge. 3 cabins with 160*200 mattresses and a small fan in each room. 1 convertible salon into a bed for 2 people, just in case... Outside, the cockpit benches can be converted into sunbathing areas, with custom-made cushions for outdoor use: lounging in the sun... Once the aft beach is open, it is a huge space completely free to access the sea and enjoy anchoring. In the front, also a large sunbathing area with outdoor cushions. All the dishes and kitchen utensils possible for comfort on board, even plastic wine glasses. For navigation, autopilot, fully battened mainsail and roller genoa (with strips, no risk of overpowering!) provide great ease of use. Everything for a holiday on the water... Note that no cleaning fee will be charged if the sailboat is returned clean, otherwise cleaning will be charged €200. Bed sheets are not provided but can exceptionally be for €150. Finally, having the chance to regularly enjoy our sailboat, we leave quite a few things on board: board games, pantry essentials (tea bags, canned food), a sweater and a pair of trousers, one or two hats... I mention this so you are not surprised, it is not a completely empty professional rental boat. We prefer rentals for a minimum of 10 days with the possibility of arrival and departure on Mondays and Wednesdays to avoid weekend traffic. Discount offered for rentals of 2 weeks or longer. The sailboat is located at Port Ferrières, in the city center of Martigues, the Venetian of Provence, 40 minutes from Marseille. It is possible to park very easily and for free right next to the boat. For those arriving by plane at Marseille - Provence airport, bus L38 takes you near the sailboat in 30 minutes for €7 (same time and price as going to Marseille by bus). For those arriving by train at Marseille St Charles station, bus L34 takes you near the sailboat in 35 minutes for €5.50. A long explanatory video (and comprehensive) on the entire operation of the sailboat can be provided upon request or by searching: "discovery and operation of True Blood" on the most popular video platform.
