Peaceful location and a short walk from the centre

Stayed in April 2024

It was quite windy and I didn’t know boats are so noisy at night! It bucked a lot so I couldn’t sleep unfortunately as I am not used at all. Cost of towels and bedding and also cleaning should be included in the total price.

We stayed as family of 4. The experience of sleeping on a boat is something I won’t forget.. Mr. Florent explained everything and showed us around the boat. We don’t speak French but he used google translator so we could communicate easily. Location is good, 20 mins walk from the centre and there is Carrefour and Mc Donalds 10mins away.

The host was super at making us feel welcome and how to locate great restaurants in the area. He kitted out the boat with everything we needed. I highly recommend watching the sunset and sunrise, the views are incredible. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The location at the marina is beautiful, and was very peaceful despite the funfair in the main square. Florent spent a lot of time explaining everything about the boat and gave me recommendations for where the locals go to eat. Certainly the restaurant I chose was absolutely fantastic (Tonton Louis at the fishing port, a couple of miles along the coast)! The boat has a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, although the shower is typically tiny, so I chose to use the marina facilities located just at the end of the ponton, which are reserved for "badge holders", i.e. not open to the tourists. I cycled everywhere - and if the weather had not been as lovely as it was, there is also a floating shuttle ("bus de mer") from the marina to the vieux port and back. The only - very minor - drawback to the boat was that it was not overly warm, but then it was February and boats are generally not going to be as well insulated as houses! The two heaters provided were just about sufficient to keep the boat cosy. A very unusual but delightfully memorable stay.

The novelty of staying on a boat is excellent. Kids and adults loved it.

Really clean and nice size boat. The boat is so well equipped and there are more facilities for showering in the harbour. The boat is very clean, check in was really easy. I would definitely stay here again.

We came here for one night during our 10 day trip to France for something a bit different with the kids. Immaculate inside and facilities were excellent.

Was surprised buy having to pay extra for sheets & towels. Even more surprised about optional €40 cleaning bill. We decided to clean ourselves which was fine. We didn’t really make a mess.

It was so lovely going to sleep on a boat and waking up in such an amazing location . Didn’t feel any rocking. Close to the shower block. Lovely bathroom on board but only used the toilet ( not shower ). Given good location details to find man who showed us to the boat. He was very helpful and on time for arrival and leaving.

Perfect location in the port of La Rochelle. Florent (host) is very friendly and gives a lot of tips what to see and do (eat) in La Rochelle. Sleeping on a boat gives an extra dimension to the 'holiday feeling' !

A well-maintained almost new boat with everything you need. An unforgettable experience! Very good location where you can enjoy both sunrise and sunset. Mr Florent is a plus: His super service and perfect personality add a great deal to the stay! (I am so sorry for my late check in which made Mr Florent spend more time waiting.)

It was an amazing experience staying on Florent`s boat. It's perfectly situated in a very calm and peaceful area of the La Rochelle marina. We really loved the boat, it has everything you need even for a longer stay, a well equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a toilet and a shower but it's also very easy and convenient to use the marina facilities, they are only a few steps away and spotlessly clean. Florence is a such a sympathetic man. Our French isn't the best so we communicated via google translator which was total fun. Now we miss the sunsets and the slight swaying at night... It clearly was one of our best holidays ever. Thank you, Florent!

it’s a brand new boat, facilities a clean and new, but bare in mind that linen and cleaning is extra cost

it’s really unusual to stay overnight on a boat. my son really enjoyed

double bed quite cramped

beautiful boat. very well equipped Spotlessly clean

Cramped. Very hot. Water was very smelly due to the extreme heat which obviously was not the fault of the owner. It would have been a much better experience in cooler times.

Unusual to stay on a boat instead of a hotel.

Stayed in July 2022

It is tricky to get to the harbor because of the layout of La Rochelle and a fair amount of street closures due to the construction

unique setting and great sleep on the boat. The harbor is huge but has a water taxi to take you to the central area of La Rochelle

Boarding the boat from the stern was rather awkward due to being moored bow to the jetty

Good location good secure parking and easy access to the town B

The only thing that I would say is that it should be recommended to arrive by car, we didn’t rent one and to get there on foot is not so easy, but not such a big problem

The owner is so helpful and makes and reliable. He was so nice with us even with the explanation in English. The boat is bigger than what it seems in the pictures, super comfy and full of accessories. The front of the boat gives the opportunity to be set outside in the evening or morning and look at the quietest place you will ever be in. Calm, relaxing and super comfy, it has everything you would find in a hotel room but in a different way! Merci Florent!

Nothing!

The boat was very modern and extremely clean. No shoes allowed on board! A lot of thought had gone into making our stay comfortable. We were kept up to date with where the boat was and available arrival times. The owner was very punctual and helpful, giving us a 30 minute induction as to what switches were for what and how to fill the water tank. It had mains electricity and heating. The marina had about a 1000 boats in it but was very quiet. If you didn’t want to use the on board shower there was a large shower block just outside the security gate. There was ample room for a couple but a bit cramped for 4 adults if spending much time on the boat. Sleeping for 4 adults ok. 2 Adults and two children would be fine. Many good restaurants in easy walking distance. car park just outside marina. Beach in very easy walking distance!
