boat hire in Marseille · Zodiac — Medline 7.5 (2016)

Boat in really bad condition! + forgot to check if the cap was still there.. Good communication and accommodating by the way!

SCAM ALERT! I fell into the TRAP of this rental which, according to the ad, offered a very clean, powerful, well-equipped boat, with a buoy to tow (RECOMMENDED BY THE RENTAL COMPANY) for €50, for a total of €467 per day. Barely out of the port, at full throttle, the maximum speed reached is 19 knots (36 km/h) for a 225 hp engine. We look for the cause of the problem and discover that the boat is in pitiful condition: exposed and dangerous screws having injured one of the passengers, exposed electrical wires, completely torn cover, no shower, deplorable state of cleanliness, torn cushions, seats and sockets to hang on, etc. The general condition is CATASTROPHIC and DANGEROUS. When we got back, I at least tried to get the €50 back for the buoy that we couldn't use (and that the rental company knew very well was unusable), by expressing our dissatisfaction. The rental company denied everything, absolutely everything, even telling us that we didn't fill up when it was the gas station attendant who filled it to the brim, and ended up ignoring us by tinkering with his "boat", a dishonesty that ruined our day even more. And to top it all off, after accusing us of having accepted the buoy, he offered to reimburse me €25 if I left a positive comment! I therefore invite you to flee from this unscrupulous scammer, who doesn't care about this comment because he will probably create a new account after it is published.

Good boat and accommodating
