Yacht charter in Palau · Rib Marine — 535 (2020)

I appreciated the quick response and information provided by the staff when we arrived. The boat took on more water than usual through one of the valves on the floor of the boat. We were able to deal with it but it should be looked at to fix it. I thought the price was a bit high, even though it was august. Overall, an enjoyable day and good service from the boat team.

We had a wonderful day aboard this boat. We were able to visit all the islands of La Maddalena. We received a very warm welcome and were given plenty of explanations upon our arrival.

He charged us whatever he wanted for the gas. It's a scam. We only went to Spargi and he charged us 40 euros for 20 liters, he said. I told him it was impossible, and he didn't care, making excuses. Google reviews all say the same thing. We returned to the port and he wasn't there, and we had to wait an hour and a half for him to return our deposit. It wasn't pleasant either on the phone or in person, and we almost lost the awning several times because it was in terrible condition. I recommend the experience, but not with this person or his old boats. For what you pay, it's better to rent somewhere else.

Five of us went on a day trip to the boat. The meeting point is easy, and they have a vacant lot for 10 euros a day. He explained everything about the boat and recommended beaches depending on the wind speed. On the way back, he checked how much gas we'd spent (80 euros, with five people on board and moving quite a bit between islands) and charged it to the deposit you have to leave in cash (100 euros). Then he leaves another 750 euros as a deposit with a card, which he returns upon his return. Recommended!

Everything went smoothly. Information about the meeting point and time came the day before. There was a good tip on parking on site. Thorough instructions. Everything as described. Thank you for a very nice day!

Had a great boat trip! Communication, information, boat, everything worked out great!

Great service, helpful staff. Unfortunately our dinghy had awning that came off...

Aging boat which is felt in various places. The Tau - impossible to sail with and does not even stay in place folded as soon as there is chop (comes off its hinges). All the instruments including the compass (which is still the least we can do) are HS and left as is. Inflatable structure stained by wear and tear, engine driving areas taped. Not very practical, the steering rod is very close to or even overlaps the swimming ladder = grease stains on the swimsuits. Be careful this boat is small for comfortable navigation (rear backrests too small, none in front of the cockpit - we put a vest there - and it hits hard quickly), especially if you plan to be 5 on board, with the wind and therefore the sea present in the area in August every day, even between the islands. Complicated communication at the beginning - response for the rental in a few minutes but to our questions... never before the day before departure (Already noted in a previous comment...) - I even almost canceled! because I like to plan ahead at sea (departure point, parking, restaurant to go to etc.). Reception on site correct - but don't expect big smiles... crew member explaining the boat friendly but quite expeditious - so prepare your questions (navigation area etc.). Clear contract. Fuel consumption (between 50 and 100€ per day, depending on your driving) reasonable for a 40hp (ports often crowded or fuel unavailable around so you can pay for the full tank on site upon arrival which is practical...) In the end, I would not rent this boat again... Even at a low price, the value for money is not there.

The location information only arrived one day before the rental, which confused us a bit but everything worked out great, quickly and without any problems, we were satisfied.

They were very welcoming, nice experience even though we damaged the engine propeller a bit on a rock. He remained calm and everything was resolved calmly and quickly.

It was a great day...everything as agreed and a great boat...would love to go again...

All perfect!

We had a beautiful time

Everything was great. Everyone was very friendly. It was a great day.

Two of us went around the Maddalena archipelago, the boat was great, it was fast and went everywhere, ideal for discovering the coves of the archipelago. The deposit can be paid by debit card and cash, which is very convenient. Good value for money, it is better to rent this boat than an excursion with several people! They explained to us all the must-see points. We recommend!

The boat was in very good condition and everything worked perfectly. Professional and cordial treatment. We spent a very good day enjoying the Maddalena archipelago.

The service is very good, responds quickly, punctual, and they explain all the operation of the boat very well. The boat says that it is for 6 people, we were 4 and we fit well. I think it's too small for 6. The only drawback is that the awning came off very often.
