Overall rating
Very friendly welcome, boat is not new but works fine. We had a great day on that boat.
We had a great day out on this vessel. She moved along quite smoothly even in low winds. Everything worked perfectly and all in all I’d highly recommend using these guys.
We had a very nice day. The captain was very forthcoming. Communication before and after was very good. Lunch server onboard was excellent!
Ist a 39 ft. Cruiser bavaria yacht not a 40 ft. We came late and did the checkin at the 2. day We had the appointment at 09.00 h and the checkin guy came at 10.30h.... We had also a lost propeller so we didnt reatched our destination of cabrera...but they fixed a new one very quickly also they gave us one day cash back. Is was a great time.
Fantastic day out on a beautiful yacht, in a fantastic location with a friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic skipper. He taught my grandsons (10 and 8) how the feel the wind through the steering wheel and steer accordingly. They had the time of their lives as did the other 6 family members. Very highly recommended. I finish with my only criticism which is that we could have used more information on where to park on arrival and where to meet.
It is a comfortable boat, quite well maintained for its age. She sails very well in a good wind and is well prepared to spend a few days without having to go to port. In general, very good, especially for its comfort.
We have had a wonderful day! The boss is super friendly and helpful. The boat in very good condition and with everything you need. We will repeat!!
Great days spent sailing with this sailboat. Everything perfect, we will repeat.
The boat is relatively well taken care of for its age. It was completely clean and allowed us to really enjoy the 5 days. Note that the important things (engine, electronics, windlass, rudder, pumps, refrigerator, etc.) all worked well. The buts: on the one hand, there were several things to repair: a saber from the largest, the gas stove works well only one burner, the oven does not work well at all because it does not close properly (we solved it with an oar), a missing mattress in the living room (we solved it by placing one on the backrest) and sometimes the USB port of the radio/CD failed (the only mobile charging point outside the port). In short, more or less minor things but that need attention. The worst thing was without a doubt that the dinghy's motor stopped working on the second day (apparently bad previous repair) and the manager did not even make an attempt to repair it, despite being asked to do so. The day we contacted him was Sunday and we understood that it could not be done (although a replacement engine would be interesting in these cases). But the rest of the days he could have done something. We did not like that and that is why we left this comment. It was a pain to paddle every day ashore 3 trips each time. In summary: good boat, but they should improve some things.
Unprofessional, once the reservation is made communication becomes difficult. You ask for a location to be able to organize yourself and there are no answers. In the end you discover that it is because it does not have a berth in Mallorca, so it has to be located at the last minute. Then on the way back the best thing is, it leaves you at the gas station and good luck, because that's not what it's for. Don't ask for the snack because you can't organize yourself because right there it scams you, it charges you well and leaves you hungry... anyway, if you're going to do a day trip, taking the boat in Palma is absurd
Great
Very good experience. Very professional and friendly skipper. Comfortable boat and good location in Palma. They offered us alternatives to avoid bad weather and visit quiet coves. I recommend 100%.
Everything was correct. The boat sails very well, we really enjoyed the day. Cleanliness and comfort. We would repeat without hesitation.
Boat in excellent condition. Jose Antonio was very friendly and was always in contact when I had any questions.
Unforgettable trip! We are a group of 7 friends who have spent some great days aboard Gladiator with José. The stay has been very pleasant and the boat is perfectly equipped. We just lacked a little more organization of the route. 100% recommendable! Thanks José de las mañas and Aurelio.
We had a very good experience with the boat, everything went well. The boat sails very well and is spacious so that 8 people are comfortable. Jose was very attentive at all times. We will repeat for sure!
Everything perfect, we had a very good day
After having achieved an important benchmark with several sites / renters we were delighted to have found this rental. We quickly became disillusioned. Indeed, we learned 48 hours before our arrival a change of boat, without any details. Only precision: it's the same model ... In the ad, we rented a Bavaria 40 from 2012. We had the very bad surprise to discover when arriving at the port that it turned into Bavaria 39 and 2005! 7 years more !! The condition of the boat was therefore a certain wear because 15 years of age (especially since it is used for sailing school). This is the worst boat we have rented (for more than 20 years), at equivalent price. Equipment level: Very basic in terms of security equipment. (No canoe, no life line, no smoke ...). No hiding to protect yourself from the sun. In other words, the bridge was an oven under a blazing sun. Impossible to lie down or have lunch outside. Very boring to enjoy a boat ... During our discussions it was clearly announced that we wanted to take the option blankets / towels / sheets for 5 people. Arrived on the spot only 2 blankets (2 places). We had to delay our departure by one hour to get the towels and only a third blanket. Communication complicated with Jose Antonio, who took a while to answer, and sometimes after recovery. Check out: he did not even get on the boat. Why not. It's beautiful trust. At the same time, given the age of the boat, there was no risk. In short, bad experience because the feeling of being predominated, because not in line with what we have rented, and we do not recommend so above all.
An incredible experience In our case we were 7 friends who had never lived on a sailboat and we left enchanted. Jose was very attentive and recommended very well areas to visit during our trip. 100% recommended!
Jose was a great host!
