Luna Rosa is a 2014 Pogo 12.5 sailboat based in La Rochelle, perfectly positioned for exploring the Atlantic coast of France. This nimble 12.5-metre vessel offers an ideal balance of performance and comfort, making it an excellent choice for sailors seeking authentic coastal cruising without the complexity of larger yachts. From La Rochelle's historic harbour, you'll have immediate access to the Île de Ré, the Île d'Oléron, and the sheltered waters of the Pertuis d'Antioche—a region celebrated for its gentle breezes, picturesque anchorages, and welcoming coastal villages.

The boat comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across three cabins, making it well-suited for families, small groups of friends, or two couples looking to share the experience. Below deck, the layout provides practical living space with a single head and shower, while on deck the generous cockpit cushions offer comfortable seating for both sailing and socialising. Luna Rosa is equipped for genuine cruising: the GPS and chart plotter ensure confident navigation, the spinnaker and gennaker give you responsive sail options for varied wind conditions, and the water-maker means you'll never compromise on freshwater supplies during your week at sea.

A typical week aboard unfolds at a leisurely pace. You might spend mornings sailing between islands, afternoons exploring quiet anchorages where you can swim directly from the boat, and evenings enjoying fresh seafood at harborside restaurants in villages like Saint-Clément-des-Baleines or Ars-en-Ré. The radio-CD and cabin heating ensure comfort during downtime, whether you're anchored in a sheltered bay or moored at a quiet pontoon. The Pogo 12.5's responsive handling makes every passage engaging for those who enjoy hands-on sailing, while the straightforward systems mean minimal fuss and maximum time enjoying the water.

Whether you're planning a long weekend escape or a full week of coastal exploration, Luna Rosa invites you to experience the Atlantic coast at its own rhythm—sun-warmed days, starlit anchorages, and the simple pleasure of sailing France's most storied waters.
