Boat rental in La Rochelle · Kirie - Feeling — Feelling 39 Di (2000)

Description of Stéphane's sailboat
Kirie - Feeling - Feelling 39 Di | 3 Cabins
Hello everyone, Are you a novice or experienced? Are you looking for a good boat to visit Fort Boyard, Ile d'Aix, Ile de Ré, Oléron or other destinations? Take Shannon's helm of this Feeling 39DI for an unforgettable time. I will accompany you, my knowledge of Pertuis Charentais (and of the sailboat) will allow you to sail without stress, with complete peace of mind for day trips, sunsets or cruises. I also have a transatlantic under my belt completed in 2021. This sailboat is ideal for lovers of comfortable sailing, combining adventure and discovery. It is a sailboat that maneuvers very well solo. Safety is also a priority, with quality equipment and regular maintenance carried out. It is energy self-sufficient (solar panels). The boat is perfectly operational to accommodate up to 8 people (for the day) on board and allow them to spend comfortable nights (5 people max, 1 person sleeps in the saloon). The 2 rear cabins are spacious. To make your stay as pleasant as possible, you will find everything you need on board: Long kitchen, oven, microwave, fridge, cold and hot water under pressure as well as the ice maker! Concerning navigation, the boat has an autopilot, a GPS chart reader, an AIS and a chart reader. Additionally, a fixed VHF and a portable VHF are also on board. To facilitate port maneuvers, a bow thruster is also present to supplement the 40 HP of the engine. A pneumatic annex equipped with a 3.5 HP engine is also available to explore the surrounding banks. On the Sail side, it is equipped with a full batten mainsail with 3 reefs, a furling genoa, an asymmetrical spinnaker, a staysail on releasable stays and a storm jib. The draft of this sailboat can go from 2.20 m to 70 cm, which allows you to explore areas normally inaccessible to other sailboats and still leave or return to the port of Minimes even at low tide in high tide! In addition, it is possible to land on the sand depending on the tide. I am present during this operation because it is essential to have excellent knowledge of the seabed and strict compliance with the protocol. On-board cash, shipping and other charges extra. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Good luck ;)

We had a magical day thanks to Stéphane who is very accessible, open and cheerful. He introduced us to the joys of sailing, we had a great time swimming/paddling at anchor on the island of Aix, and the approach to the fort in a boyar with music was great! It will remain an unforgettable day for us and the children! Thank you Stéphane
Great weekend on Shannon with Stéphane! We sailed near the islands (Aix, Oléron and Ré) for 2 days with Stéphane who welcomed us like at home, shared his knowledge and experiences with us and even showed us his singing talents! We were able to participate in the navigation thanks to his valuable advice and teaching! A great experience! Looking forward to seeing each other again, Julie, Quentin, Paul and Pauline.

Amazing day ! Stéphane is attentive and welcoming!
Stéphane very available, boat going well in light weather, we had a great time.
I highly recommend ! The day with Stéphane was great, we were very well received on his boat! Stéphane is friendly, funny and super interesting! He took us for a ride near the island of Aix and Fort Boyard. He explained some of the basics of sailing to us. Despite an afternoon with a very light wind (rare in La Rochelle), the boat's engine allowed us to still visit and enjoy a little. In short, 8 people of us spent a great afternoon on the boat chatting, swimming, paddleboarding and playing guitar. At the top, to do again!

We had an excellent week of sailing with Stéphane. We were very motivated and set off in tough conditions, wind of 20 to 30 knots, swell of 1.5 and rain. 2 Ries in the mainsail and Staysail and everything went well until we arrived on the Ile de Ré at St Matin. The weather improved the following days and we continued on to Bourgenay, Ars en Ré, Ile D'oléron, Ile d'Aix, and Rochefort. We practiced all the downwind gaits (sail, scissors) close-hauled using the spinnaker and genoa. The whole crew loved it!!!! To do again. Thank you again Stéphane for your skills and your very good humor!
We spent an exceptional day aboard Shannon, in the company of Stéphane! He is very very friendly, and made us feel at home on his boat which is very well maintained and very clean. Stéphane left us free of the day's program, while advising us as best as possible. He also showed great teaching skills, particularly with children. We will repeat the experience without hesitation! Thank you Stéphane!


We really enjoyed our week with Stéphane. He was a source of suggestions for the route and advice for the navigation conditions. Shannon is a very comfortable boat with space and lots of equipment, we didn't want for anything. Stéphane tried to leave us as much as possible between us and allowed us to enjoy our vacation with friends while sharing moments of board games and discussions with him from time to time. The balance was perfect. Stéphane pays attention to his boat and knows how to set its limits. In terms of sailing training, Stéphane positions himself in efficiency and transmits maneuvering information. One of our experienced team members provided the technical training aspect on which we cannot therefore evaluate Stéphane. In summary, we had a pleasant week on Shannon. Stéphane is a discreet but present host, with character and the desire to share his passion for the sea. With Stéphane and his boat, the conditions are met to spend a comfortable week with family or friends.

Excellent stay with Stéphane on Shannon. We greatly enjoyed these few days punctuated by beautiful sailing and good times at anchor, on the beach or in the port. Shannon is comfortable, clean, very well equipped and perfectly maintained. We were able to take out the spinnaker, and Stéphane always left me free to steer or not. We feel very comfortable on his boat, therefore confident in passing on his knowledge to us with complete peace of mind. He is reassuring, very educational, jovial and very nice, in addition to being good at guitar and singing! ;-) Everything is simple and pleasant with him, for children and adults alike. It is really in the philosophy of sharing that we should always find on Click&Boat. Having had a disastrous experience with another skipper on Click&Boat, my wife and children were reconciled with boating thanks to Stéphane. Thanks to him!
We booked a day on the boat to celebrate a birthday and we were really not disappointed!! I recommend Stéphane and Shanone without hesitation for an excursion with family or friends. The boat is incredible and Stéphane knows how to put us at ease so that Shanone becomes our home for a day. Stéphane is very accommodating and you can decide together which course to take, stops to try paddleboarding or simply enjoy a beach. Thank you Stéphane for making this moment so magical and allowing us to live an incredible experience ?

Great discovery weekend for my friends aboard the Shannon. Stéphane was a great captain and adapted perfectly to our expectations while showing us the nice corners of the Ile de Ré. A repeat without hesitation!
Very good day, we will be back.

J’aime dans la voile le fait de se mouvoir tout simplement en utilisant les éléments et énergies naturelles. J'ai toujours aimé l'eau depuis tout petit et pratiqué de nombreux sports nautiques (planche à voile, kite surf, ski nautique, plongée sous marine, canoë, kayak, Jet-ski, bateau à moteur, et la pèche aussi :) En tant que coach de vie, je suis très pédagogue et les personnes qui naviguent avec moi se sentent en sécurité. J'ai une très bonne connaissance du pertuis Charentais où je navigue depuis plus de 20 ans. Mes autres navigations on été en Bretagne, Morbihan, cote Basque Espagnole, Méditerranée, Corse, Les Baléares etc... J'ai plus d'une trentaine de milles à mon actif, dont une transat en 2021 de Bonifacio au Marin (Martinique) via l'Espagne, Les canaries, Le Cap Vert. Je suis d’un caractère calme, jovial, bienveillant et communicatif. J’ai toujours prôné l’esprit d’équipe, le partage et la communication. Je serai ravi de vous accompagner à bord de Shannon, participer aux manœuvres, être votre équipier ;)
