Superb old rigging in La Rochelle

Your stay aboard this romantic sailboat will remain engraved in your memory. His Tahiti-ketch plan, drawn in 1923, has long been the reference for circumnavigations. Illustrious names have recounted in detail their solitary journeys around the world, such as Bernard Moitessier (Marie-Thérèse II) and Jean Gau (Atom). Our Djamous, built in 1961, sailed until 1975 between the Aven and African ports, from which it takes its name which means buffalo in Chadian.
Housing
A yacht measuring 9.80 m from bow to stern and 3.05 m wide. All in wood (mahogany trim, acacia frames, aformosia decks) it has just been restored and equipped for offshore living for 3, therefore sober and efficient: double cabin at the bow, saloon for dining alone , equipped kitchen, chemical toilets, 500W electric heating and 5 kW diesel Nordic heating. 200 liter water tank.

A solar shower allows you to cool off directly on the deck when returning from the beach (100m). The sanitary facilities reserved for boaters with hot shower and WC are in the Harbor Master building (200m). Their access is by badge (provided).

Live like a sailor, you will find dry land differently. Outdoor and indoor tables, seat foam, hammock, hanging chair... indulge in a lascivious life on the pontoon or at sea (Djamous sails on demand).

Need to go out, hunt, window shop? La Rochelle is a museum town with pedestrian streets and shaded arcades. Its sunny terraces, its pubs, its nightlife are waiting for you! The sea bus will take you there in less than 30 minutes (50 m).

Homebody, need some cocooning? The video projector will project your favorite film or your filmed memories on the big screen (USB, HDMI, or Wifi ports shared from your smartphone or PC).

Want to sail, get away for a day, a weekend or more? Ask me ! My cell phone will be communicated to you after reservation.

Birthday, surprise gift, wedding, shooting session at the dock or under sail? Djamous can fulfill all your fantasies. Dare to dream!
During your stay at this houseboat, you're just a quick walk from Bay of Biscay.
