Overall rating
Worst charter I've ever had. Too many issues to list. Poor communication. Serious alternator/battery issues which resulted in jot being able to start the engine while anchored in a narrow bay. Anchor light also not working. Dangerous situation. Only remedied when I suggested we had no choice but to abandon thr boat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANSWER FROM THE OWNER OF THE BOAT: Thank you for sharing your feedback. Firstly, the linen surcharge applied for the second week of your charter is in line with the information clearly stated during the booking process. The price shown online includes linen and towels for the first week only, with an additional fee for any subsequent weeks. Regarding the late check-in fee, our standard check-in time is 5:30 p.m. Any arrivals well beyond that incur a late check-in surcharge, which was communicated in advance. In your case, check-in was attempted without prior notice and clearly outside of the agreed hours, which necessitated additional staffing and coordination. As for the condition of the boat, it was prepared and cleaned according to our usual standards. The reported issues, including damage and technical problems, were not raised during the check-in process. Unfortunately, you returned the vessel earlier than scheduled and under rushed circumstances, without following the proper check-out procedures. Our post-check-out inspection revealed damage to the boat which had not been acknowledged by you. Specifically, the shaft was damaged due to a rope becoming entangled while the propeller was operating during anchorage. This occurred when an attempt was made to use the tender, which led to the entanglement. As a result, the security deposit was withheld in accordance with our terms and conditions. We understand that chartering a boat involves high expectations and regret that your experience was disappointing. However, we must respectfully disagree with your characterization of our service and assure you that we operate with full transparency and fairness.
We had a fantastic experience! The team was very friendly and gave us great advice for our trip. The boat was more than good enough for our needs. Although we faced a few small issues when boarding, the staff quickly resolved them and everything went smoothly for the rest of the week. A special thanks to George for his excellent tips on the best places to anchor and visit, and to Dani for his great energy (and awesome hair, should definitely grow it longer though). Overall, I’d definitely book with them again if I return to Corfu.
The base crew really outdid themselves! I wanted a special evening with my boyfriend, to whom i proposed!!!! Yay us!! They made sure the evening went smoothly , and even brought out WINE to congratulate us! Thank you Billy for helping with that evening.
If you're looking for a fun day at sea, theese are your people! Before we left with my boyfriend they gifted us a bottle of a very tasty wine and treateed us to some local delights. The boat was impressive and in a very good shape. Billy was so fun to interact with, and so was the rest of the crew. They had tons of tips on where we should go for a swim or even if we wanted to do sailing . We bumped into them along the ride, and finished the rest of the day along with the 2 other sailboats they had taken out. Hope we have time to do this again before we leave this week!
Very nice boat! Good people. Beautiful beaches around the island and creal blue waters!! hope to do it again soon!
The hosts was very hospitable, and assisted us in the marina. The heat was impossible in Corfu so this little get away was just the thing for us! They even offered us a few drinks and finger foods. The secret gulfs and beaches they guided us to were truly unique and amazing. The boat was in great condition and all in all, everything was great.
Chartering this sailing boat was an absolutely remarkable experience, from start to finish. The entire process was seamless, and the company's dedication to excellence was evident at every turn. From the moment we booked, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing detailed information and answering all our questions promptly. They made sure we felt confident and well-prepared for our sailing adventure. The boat itself was immaculate and well-maintained. It was clear that safety and quality are top priorities. The vessel was equipped with all the modern amenities we could need, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable journey. The entire sailing experience was breathtaking. We enjoyed pristine waters, picturesque landscapes, and the thrill of the open sea. Whether we were sunbathing on the deck, snorkeling in hidden coves, or savoring a meal as the sun set over the horizon, every moment was unforgettable. In summary, chartering exceeded all our expectations. The combination of exceptional service, high-quality vessels, and knowledgeable crew made for a perfect vacation. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary sailing adventure.
A scam, many things did not work, they repair them the same day, and when we return the boat, they blackmail us, so either we remove the negative comments or they do not return the money, I have it recorded, Who wants I will send the videos, [email protected]
Catastrophic rental. Surcharge (€90) for bedding for the 2nd week, even though I paid for 2 weeks. Surcharge (€150) for check-in after 9 p.m. (arrived at 9:30 p.m.), without notice. In the end, the rental company was late, and I boarded at 1 a.m. without any offer to refund the late check-in surcharge. Boat in poor condition, cushions torn, some didn't have covers. Not clean. Non-functional fridge (a scandal when it's 40° in the shade), recurring battery problems. Overall very poorly maintained. Engine problem during the rental, no assistance from the rental company, claiming it was my fault. I had to manage the matter on my own. Fortunately, I'm experienced and resourceful. In the end, the deposit was never returned, without explanation or justification. A company to avoid, which I describe as scammers.
