It appeared there were some additional forms with Horizon that I could have completed prior to arriving but they never appeared to get to me. Not sure it the broker connection was a hold up or if because the broker was the original contact, that they did not have my info

yes

yes
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
It was clean but we had a few issues with the boat. On the first day, Navigare had to come out and replace an impeller on one of the engines. We had to wait about 4 to 5 hours for them to come out. The guys who came out were very efficient but it was upsetting that we lost most of our first day waiting. On the third day, the stereo quit and they had to come out again. On the next to last day, the auto pilot also quit. Navigare was very responsive to these problems, but the wait times were frustrating.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
yes
Was the yacht well ventilated?
yes
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
All the staff with Navigare were very nice and accommodating, but the problems with the boat made our trip less enjoyable.
