Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Yes, they made sure we had our paper work in order
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
It felt rushed. Would have liked an in person area briefing to ask questions. Also better info on boat specs particularly the draft of the boat would have been nice to have in the package.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yes. Water in tanks smelled strongly of sulfur - not sure why? Only issue with the boat
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes

Yes
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Not as good as in the past.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yes and no.

The yacht was in good working condition; some of the main sheets (ropes) were a little worn for a boat less than a year old.

The interior seemed clean but I found a blood smear in my bathroom. I was very upset to find that under all the exterior cusions was hair and grime from previous boat; staff had not lifted cusions. I had to clean this. I informed the front desk who were very apologetic and offered a cleaner but we declined due to full boat of people and provisions.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Very well ventilated.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
The yacht was great and the charter company staff are very pleasant just very slow at dealing with any requests such as missing bedding etc.

We missed our Moorings welcome bag and bottle of rum! But NOT an important issue!
