Boat charter in France · Maxus 28 Standard in Saint-Quay-Portrieux / Port d'Armor — (2013)

The Maxus 28 Standard is a timeless cruising sailboat that perfectly balances performance with comfort, making it an excellent choice for both experienced sailors and those seeking a memorable bareboat adventure. Based in the picturesque Saint-Quay-Portrieux on France's stunning Breton coast, this well-maintained 2013 model provides the ideal platform for exploring the dramatic granite coastlines, sheltered anchorages, and charming maritime villages of Port d'Armor. With its generous 8.53-meter length and thoughtful layout, the Maxus 28 comfortably accommodates six guests across two well-appointed cabins, with a single head and shower for convenient facilities. The boat's moderate beam of approximately 3 meters and shallow 1.45-meter draft make it remarkably maneuverable in the shallow waters and tidal channels common to Breton sailing grounds, allowing you to explore hidden coves inaccessible to larger vessels. Sailing characteristics are engaging yet forgiving—the roller furling jib and mainsail with lazy bag system keep deck work manageable, even when short-handed. The reliable 20 HP Yammer diesel engine provides trustworthy auxiliary power and achieves a respectable 6-knot cruising speed, ensuring you can make passages efficiently and arrive at your next anchorage with confidence. This bareboat charter offers true independence and flexibility, allowing you to craft your own itinerary through the magnificent Gulf of Saint-Malo, the Îles d'Armor, or beyond. Whether you're a seasoned sailor seeking intimate offshore exploration or a group looking for an authentic coastal sailing experience, the Maxus 28 delivers the ideal combination of seaworthiness, accessibility, and cruising comfort.
