boat hire in Trogir · Bavaria — 39 Cruiser (2009)

The cabinet doors are not fixed or secured perfectly. The speedometer shows only half of the actual speed. The anemometer readings are incomprehensible, and the throttle cable is broken at the end. It might be due to the end of the season, but many areas are poorly maintained. The navigation system is an old monochrome device, and relying on it is irresponsible. The hull is solid, and the rigging was almost new. In strong winds at the harbor, the thruster is greatly missed.

Disappointed. This boat, NADA TG-1353 is not up to the minimum safety standards. No VHF antenna, and no functional VHF radio (cannot transmit). No anchor light. It’s advertised to have air conditioning, and there is no air conditioning. Nor fans as advertised. The wind speed gauge (anemometer) was also missing from the mast. The refrigerator functions properly only when on shore power. The dinghy did not have a check valve (water plug), so it took on water and could not be used. Toni dismissed these concerns to the point of telling me VHF is only to be used in emergency and that an anchor light was not necessary. We requested a refund for the dinghy motor fee (100€), because we could not use dinghy, and were refused. This discussion led Toni to then accuse us of somehow removing the missing items from the top of mast, or somehow crashing the top of the mast into something like another boat. The boom was in contact with the Bimini until we adjusted it. Covid ended snorkeling equipment being available, but it’s still advertised. No TV, even though it’s advertised. Very little attention to rather big or obvious issues. Dismissive.
