Overall rating
Everything went smooth from the communication to get the boat and returning it. We had a lovely day and drove up to Granadella beach. I can recommend this boat and owner. Thank you.
Communication with the owner was difficult and slow. We didn’t receive location information until the morning of the trip and therefore lost over an hour of our trip. The boat doesn’t have a 90hp engine - it is only 50hp. The boat was uncomfortable and not in very good condition. The ‘trim’ on the motor wasn’t working. Overall this was not a great experience.
Nice boat
Arnau's communication was excellent, and he made sure we had a great time on board.
We had a perfect day with Arnau. A nice guy who can tell you all about the surrounding area. The boat is in good condition. We travelled from Denia to Javea. Everytime a new spot to swim and snorkel. We can totally recommend taking a trip like this!
Friendly and efficient communication. A well maintained boat and experienced skipper to navigate us out of a very choppy harbour! A great family experience, thank you.
Great day sailing down the coast. Very friendly and helpful.
A very good trip, although worth noting the engine is 50hp, not 95. My partner and I had a great day and the boat is plenty fast/comfortable enough. Moreover, communication was quick and reasonable. I would really recommend this rental to anyone looking to explore this stretch of Spanish coast.
My second time renting this boat from Arnaud and again, great value for money. Victor, who handled collection and return was very helpful. Highly recommended. Mi segunda vez alquilando este barco de Arnaud y otra vez, gran relación calidad-precio. Victor, que se encargó de la recogida y devolución fue muy servicial. Muy recomendable.
Nice boat, great service. Bonito barco, gran servicio.
It was a very nice trip with the boat. Everything was working well for a good price. The renter was very nice and friendly. So we hope to come back😊😊
Good little boat, no nonsense check in. Engine worked well. Many calas with bouy moorings in the vicinity. Price realistic. Would recommend.
Very warm welcome. Incomplete equipment. Table, car radio doesn't work with Bluetooth. Replaced with a speaker that wasn't charged. But pleasant boat with good engine.
An organizational disaster Due to weather, the rental was changed to the following week and on the same day. I called to confirm and was told the boat was no longer available and only offered a refund. I had already traveled 400 km to get the boat.
Very good. I'd love to come back next year.?
It was great! Arnau, Leti, and the team took such good care of us, and everything turned out much better than expected!
Great, 100% recommended
It is a very old and dilapidated boat and does not correspond in any way to the pictures in the advertisement.
All good
The experience was very good, and the service was first-rate. Although the boat is old, it's in optimal condition for a day of sailing and visiting coves. It sails quite well, although when you hold the helm straight, the engine isn't completely centered. As a suggestion, I would add a depth sounder for greater safety when anchoring.
Everything perfect
Everything is very good in general terms.
The ad lists a 2023 boat; in fact, it was actually a 2005 boat with many defects (a broken trimmer, a knotted anchor, etc.) and an engine rated at 50 hp, not 90. It's not the same thing, and as a result, the price is really high. However, I had a great day in a pleasant setting. The owner told me he had a newer boat... ask him about it.
It was a pretty good experience. Arnau was very attentive and helpful.
The boat is in good condition although the freshwater shower needs to be fixed.
Everything is correct
Everything was perfect. Vicent was very kind and punctual. He even recommended several places to us. I would definitely come back. Thank you so much.
The manager Vicente has acted very professionally and very kindly.
The experience was okay, however, the boat needs some maintenance. It looks old and uses a lot of fuel. The freshwater shower isn't working, and they didn't tell us until we were already on board. It's fine for an afternoon, but I wouldn't choose this boat again.
A fantastic day
Everything great!
Everything was fine. The boat needs a little maintenance, but it works perfectly. We had a great day, and communication with Arnau was excellent throughout, both at the reception and during the trip.
The boat was basic but OK. But even basic, even the hose didn't work. We called for help and wrote, but got no response. When we arrived, we mentioned it, and they simply said, "We'll check it out and see what's wrong." Disappointing
Everything was perfect.
It was a pleasure to rent this boat. Communication was great, and Vincent was a great guy! We'll definitely be back!
Very attentive at all times, the boat was perfect, a 10.
I had a problem with the boat, and it wasn't resolved in the best possible way. Beyond that, they offer excellent service and a good value for money.
Very good
Everything worked out great. Maria welcomed us on time and was very friendly and explained everything to us in detail. Viktor took the boat back after the day on the boat and he was also very friendly and everything went smoothly. The only small negative point was that the boat was listed as having 90hp, but it only had a 50hp engine. But that didn't play a big role for our plans. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to spend a fun day on a boat in great shape.
Everything was perfect, the boat was in good condition and clean, as was Victor and Maria, who were super friendly, they gave us references of the most beautiful coves to visit and so on. We will always repeat with them.
Very good experience and communication with the rental company very efficient
Everything was great, we will repeat!
Very good host! Recommended ++
Very professional customer service They take care of all the details with great kindness Without a doubt...we will repeat
Overall good experience, very friendly staff. On the negative side I will say that the boat was a bit dirty and the engine connections were covered in electrical tape.
Everything is perfect Thank you, we will see each other again
Very friendly and attentive, everything was perfect, reception, check out, and all communication. Highly recommended. The boat is very good, but it is true that for 6 adults it is a bit tight, or that we do not have the necessary skill to move, we managed well, but a little more space would have been better for sure. They have more spacious boats.
EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, OF COURSE WE WILL REPEAT.
Everything correct as contracted
Arnau is a very friendly skipper and he knows a lot about the area and took us to nice places for swimming and snorkeling. We had a fun and successful day.
A very good experience!
All perfect, highly recommended!
Everything is great!! Arnau very attentive and the boat is great. We will be back!
Well, first of all, it has been an unforgettable experience, the hosts have been amazing, Maria has been very nice and very attentive to us, like Arnau, they are professionals, we haven't been able to meet Victor but I'm sure he's great. I have it very clear, I recommend them 100%... A hug for that great team...
Everything was wonderful, the boat was great and the price was very good. We appreciate the service very much.
Both María and Víctor a 10. Low consumption of the boat to spend the morning sailing. To add a but, the steering wheel is too hard compared to the latest rented boats. Otherwise, all good. ?
We rented a motorboat to spend a day in the coves of Jávea and it was a success. Good boat, ideal for seeing coves and places that would normally be impossible to access. Víctor met us at the dock and explained the route and where to stop very well. We will definitely repeat!
A pleasure! María and Arnau very kind and attentive. Very good communication. We will repeat! Thank you!!!!
We rented the boat for 5 people for one day, spectacular quality-price boat, covers all needs, very easy communication with you. Thank you so much!
Grande Victor ??❤️
Perfect team
Very happy with the experience, good communication, we have really enjoyed the boat
It has been a fantastic day and even though the sea was a little rough, Arnau has looked for the best options, a great professional. Also highlight their kindness, making us feel very comfortable and making our day very easy. Thanks for everything. We will definitely repeat
Our experience was very good, both with the boat and the owners. Without a doubt, if we return to the area we will repeat!
We had a wonderful time discovering the coast and the weather conditions were perfect! Thank you to the team for their very warm welcome! See you soon
Quick and easy, 100% recommended
A good experience as always, María was very professional due to the waves that were hitting us, she left us the option of choosing whether to go out or not, as they saw that we had already caught several and it was safe, we headed to Jávea. A rough but entertaining sea. Victor waited for us on our return, very good treatment at all times from the beginning, since he was the one with whom we had the most contact at all times. I would recommend them 1 and 100 times. Until next time. Thanks for everything
Punctuality, seriousness, cleanliness, kindness, a very rewarding experience, without a doubt that we will repeat.
A good experience, highly recommended, María Víctor, very pleasant and attentive at all times!
Fast and good communication. Very friendly and competent.
A great experience. The deal with the people who rent the boat has been great. They have informed us very well where to go with the boat.
Very bad experience. Very unsafe feeling on the boat. Really not recommended.
Very attentive and available owner
The communication was reliable and friendly and the handover went well. However, the boat is visibly getting old and is no longer in order in some places. Since we paid a good price, it was okay. However, we would no longer rent a boat like this because the front is very high when driving and you can only see past the side of the boat from the rear seats. Our necks suffered.
The boat's freezer and refrigerator didn't work, but it hasn't been broken for a while now. The shower hasn't worked for a long time. The outboard motor stops, it doesn't matter if it's hot or cold, you can't do maneuvers, you're left without steering, it's very dangerous, we couldn't maneuver, even so we agreed to go out and the motor collapsed, it couldn't hold up with its anchoring system, it was loose when changing the gear from back to front. . The cleaning did not explain how the water works. In short, I don't want to say more. I didn't think the reception at the Real Yacht Club was good at all. We had to wait too long for delivery. The fuel tank was delivered practically empty, we had to fill it up to leave and what was left over from half a tank they only gave us €10. Honestly, it is a sailboat only for sailing, the 9hp engine does not work against the waves.
Thank you Victor !! You know how to communicate and you are pragmatic, in technical terms efficient. Ulysses would enlist you in his crew!!
Everything worked fine - friendly contacts - boat was ok, even if it was a bit old, price was fair.
Everything perfect and within schedule! 100% kindness Everything prepared and ready to sail. Super comfortable to go with family and friends
It was all perfect. The attention from the owner was excellent.
Arnau is very friendly and gave us the right places to go. The boat is still a little old and the trim was unfortunately inoperative but it remains good value for money.
Everything perfect, Arnau and Victor very punctual and friendly and a very sailor boat, we had a great day!
Beautiful morning
We have spent the whole day with the Rio 550, it is comfortable and it rides very well. Arnau and Victor are wonderful, they have treated us very well. To repeat
All great! Recommendable!
Very nice and kind. We asked them for a children's vest and they have left everything ready. The truth is that highly recommended
All perfect
Good experience, the boat and the treatment very good. Recommendable.
The owners of the boat-Arnau and Victor-very friendly, with very professional treatment and information and fluent and practical communication for location, parking, etc; the boat is a little over 15 years old, it is reasonably maintained and sufficient for a day at sea. We will repeat the six people who went, especially if they improve their boat, as planned.
Arnau and Victor were very kind at all times and gave us all the facilities. We will repeat without a doubt.
Everything perfect with Arnau.
All great. Arnau and Victor answer all questions and there is always very good communication. The very comfortable boat to spend a great day sailing along the coast. Totally recommended and we will repeat without a doubt.
Hello, Arnau is a very kind and helpful and flexible person. Communication with him is very easy. He advised us lots of coves and caves to see and it was great. The boat is in very good condition and very comfortable. I recommend !
Everything perfect, very nice, pleasant. Very punctual and no problem. The perfect boat to spend the day in a cove with friends or family
Everything perfect, the attention was very good, the owners cared at all times. They advised us areas to go. 100 per 100 recommended.
Excellent treatment. He also gave us advice on places to visit, where to anchor, ... We will repeat without a doubt.
A nice boat, but only 50 HP instead of 95. The boat is already a bit worn, the steering wheel should be renewed. But otherwise it's ok. I received a good briefing from the very nice landlord. On return we met at the gas station and the boat was driven to the narrow berth by the rental company. All in all it was an uncomplicated booking and a very nice day on the sea.
Experience and treatment of 10. We will repeat !!!!!
Everything's ok.
Recommended. Many facilities on your part, we will return
We had a great day, very good value for money and if you rent all day the hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (one hour more than usual, which is usually only until 6 p.m.). Reasonable consumption, we went down to Moraira taking quite a few detours and for gasoline it was €100.
Pleasant boat. The welcome is very friendly and gives good advice despite the language barrier. Tracking throughout the day is effective. I recommend this rental.
Comfortable boat, with enough power to reach any cove. A bit worn. Otherwise great!
We have spent a spectacular day with my children ... unbeatable price quality
Excellent. Everything is great. recommended boat
Maria and Victor were very friendly and we made a lot of effort to ensure that the language barrier was not a problem. The boat is comfortable.
Great!
Hello, good morning, we have spent a very good day with the boat, the guy is very serious and very kind, he explained everything to us, he told us about good places to see, everything was perfect and the boat was also clean, everything was organized, we are very happy and want to repeat . All the best
Everything is great!!! He has helped us in every way possible and the boat is great! Unbeatable price/quality ratio
