Boat rental in Palma de Mallorca · Bavaria — 46 Cruiser (2015)

The yacht was in good order albeit a set of life jackets would have been useful. Thank you Jose

So everything was OK, or rather as expected. It's a bit cramped for 8 people to sleep on, and the skipper had to sleep in the living room. The boat is a bit old and has certain signs of wear and tear everywhere, which you can't see in the photos, as they are probably not up to date.

Communication with the captain of the boat was terrible, he never answered messages, he never gave us information about the things the boat had on board, we were unable to participate in the tour to the point that due to lack of information 3 people decided not to travel, they did not give us information about supermarkets, about the cost and cancellation procedure. They also did not give me the change of 80 euros, we rented a Dinghy that we did not have at our disposal, the engine broke, during a stretch we ran out of water, the skipper did not collaborate with the trash, he left the wrapping papers of his protein bars in the cockpit, we never knew how much fuel he used and they charged 315 euros just because. I could go on and on. The truth is that I would not recommend them.

We had specifically looked for a sailing boat without a skipper on the portal and selected that. Unfortunately, they then said that the boat would not be rented without a skipper for a day trip. And we had to pay €250 for the skipper and €150 for fuel in cash on site. Unfortunately, this was not noted in the booking, so we were more or less forced to take a skipper because I could no longer cancel and the landlord also said: "Either cancel and you won't get anything back or you'll take a skipper." The skipper himself, Max, was great, it wasn't his fault.

From the beginning, both Jose Antonio's management and the condition of his boat were disastrous. We really took a lot of risk during navigation, and both the planned trip and the day at Aunt were conditioned by things as basic as the lack of a depth gauge or a useless outboard motor. We are very disappointed with the overall experience and I hope you don't rent it in this condition again because something really could happen.

Great attention from Isabel

It was perfect. Jose and his team were always at our side. I will book more often.

Good value for money Very nice home very recommendable

Everything was super nice! Thank you Jose Antonio!

A penalty of management by Salvador. He did not receive us when he arrived at the ship (he was sailing) or when he returned the ship. The reservation started at 10 but I couldn't leave until 1 because they were cleaning it. A colleague came who was very quick to collect but refused to show us the boat because she was also sailing... the conditions of the boat were terrible; loose screws, old and poorly maintained materials. As if that were not enough, we rented him an outboard with a motor and the motor (very old) stopped working on the second day and the boat deflated every 2 days. When I contacted Salvador, he told me that it was normal and that the engine had been serviced and that he was not going to take care of it (half laughing). The photos of the boat reservation do not match the original boat and we have left the gas tank fuller but there has been no refund. Frankly shameless, I do not recommend anyone to book with this man. He doesn't call me and decides to take my bail out entirely.

Sailing in the Mallorca area is spectacular. The boat was very comfortable and had everything you need to have a great time. Pablo was a luxury captain who showed us the best spots on the island. Jose was always attentive and willing to help.

The ship was very old. Technical defects in the sails, lines, winch handle, ...; Safety equipment (e.g. life ring) in lockers instead of on the ship. Few extra ropes. Amenities: cheapest plastic crockery, no coffee mugs, ... Cleanliness: many dirty-looking and worn corners and edges. (Certainly not acceptable for cleaning costs of €200). Plus point: Booking Thursday to Sunday was possible, unlike other charter companies. Jose was very friendly, no time-consuming acceptance tests before takeover/after return, missing technology was compensated for with pragmatic tablet provision. In the end a good price with optical and technical defects (however sailable in good weather !!!), good location in the RCNP harbor.
