Yacht charter in Rapallo · Portofino — Gozzo In Legno Antico, Barca Da Amatori Over 45 (1965)

All perfect! Thanks to Filippo, the owner and to the mooring staff, especially Matteo :)

Excellently maintained goiter especially in relation to the age of the boat, excellent for going out for a swim in the fabulous setting of Portofino.

I state that my job is the restoration and rental of vintage cars, so I know the dated mechanics quite well, I have also been the owner of a vintage wooden boat of about 11 meters and I know well the time and passion necessary to keep any wooden boat in perfect order. I write this review regarding this rental which has been added to another two days that I had previously booked. Upon arrival around 11 in the morning and not at 9 as per the rental start time, therefore with all the time to uncover and prepare the boat, the goiter showed up with the cushions completely soaked, so as not to even be able to lay out for at least 2 hours the sponges on the cushions, to avoid wetting them and not being able to dry them after the bath, in addition to the cushions having a not exactly good smell which then also remained on the swimsuits and beach towels, the sunshade was rolled up in a locker under the sundeck and it was also wet and with many mold spots, many fixing screws of the awning poles were not well tightened and the thing that then left me more perplexed when speaking of a professional charterer is that on the right side of the engine there is an unsecured battery switch, left dangling resting on the floor, this battery switch has the terminals completely uncovered, with at the end of the red tape which indicates that it is a positive cable + and just behind there is a visible part of the motor which obviously has negative polarity -, I dare not imagine what could happen if someone inadvertently knocks it with a foot batteries and leads should short-circuit against the motor, resulting in a fire hazard. Lastly, during the last day of the charter, as soon as I got on board, while we were still at the buoy, only when I moved to arrange the bags did one plank of the floor, already rotten as it was visibly soaked and blackened, broke and only the luck of having worn slippers in rubber avoided a possible injury, obviously what I am writing is documented by photos, I must also say that the owner has not asked me anything for this broken floorboard axis, also because I was not to blame for this, on the contrary it is damage which was caused by insufficient care and attention of the vessel. The only very positive note were the mooring guys, very kind and professional. I also have to admit that upon leaving, due to a misunderstanding and my error in reading the conditions of use (it's the first time I've used Click&Boat), I didn't expect to be asked for the cost of fuel, but then seeing my mistake I given due + tip to the mooring guys. I'm very sorry to write a negative review, but unfortunately a true one, at first I didn't want to post it as I understand that sometimes you can't get everywhere, but sadly after reading the review against me where the owner said he didn't know if he would rented a boat, I felt obliged to say that it is I who absolutely do not want to rent anything from him anymore, so I wanted and had to write things as they really are and have taken place. Probably on more modern boats these problems don't exist, certainly as far as I'm concerned this boat needs someone to manage it more carefully. I am consoled by the fact that I have visited some wonderful places where I will certainly return.

Super

Everything perfect as described. Excellent communication with the owner and the speed and availability of the mooring men. Advised :)

Beautiful old goiter, the boat is kept in a perfect way. Filippo gives all the information on the boat and the mooring men are very kind.

Everything went very well.

Filippo is a kind person and willing to provide you with the information you need to have a good experience. It has collaborators prepared and willing to give you a hand. To redo.

Great day in the company of friends. Filippo's gozzo is a beautiful, typical Ligurian historical vehicle, easy to maneuver with a typical hand rudder and inboard engine. The starting point already in an excellent context, allows you to reach beautiful coves and the most popular San Fruttuoso and nearby.

Excellent day I really enjoyed sailing with a real Ligurian gozzo, thanks Filippo

Filippo's gozzo gave us a beautiful day of relaxation, accompanying us to the most peaceful and beautiful spots among the waters of the Gulf of Tigullio, making everything even more special. It is the ideal boat for a peaceful stroll at sea communication was excellent and the goiter (really beautifully kept) did not give us any kind of problem. We hope to repeat soon!

Afternoon I fantasize aboard a historic boat, for those who appreciate the genre I highly recommend it!

Beautiful historic goiter ... perfect day. The owner is also very nice and helpful

All went well. The gozzo trip has a particular charm but I do not recommend it for those who are "marine" beginners. Perfect welcome.

Very characteristic boat, magnificent sundeck and everything conforms to the description. Good value for money.
