Yes very, Carlton and the office crew were great, thank you!

Yes
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yacht was clean however had multiple issues with the batteries. Port engine had a dead battery and would not start on its own. Had to combine the two engine batteries every time to start it up. House bank was completely shot. After running generator for 3-4 hour during dinner batteries would be complete dead by midnight, unable to even keep the fridge going. Aside from the battery issues and a terrible sewage smell in the starboar dhull while running the AC the yacht was great.

Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Discovery is at the end of its charger life. I understood this when I got it. The price was very attractive for the size boat. Even knowing this I was surprised the boot was in such good condition.
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
It was great for Maureen, water temperature, son, etc. I won’t come back because sailing area was not open and in large for the kind of charger and I enjoy do it. However it’s an area that needs to be enjoyed at least once. The biggest disadvantage was finding mooring balls. Not being able to anchor on St. John’s is understandable but a disadvantage.

Charter Company & Yacht
Please answer the following questions pertaining to the charter company and the yacht you chartered.
Rating of Charter Company & Yacht:
(5 Being the Highest) 4
Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Extremely accommodating - I have chartered with a variety of charter companies in the BVI, and Navigare hands down has been the easiest to work with upon arrival, having the most friendly and professional staff.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes! The only issue being the water maker. After reviewing the manual and learning about the system, I was able to make it work; however the system has to be properly set up for the remote panel to function properly. After calling the base I was given some misinformation, and told for support I would have to return to base (the chase boat was inoperable). All worked out for the best, and we had plenty of fresh water controlling it manually from the unit itself.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Very clean, we had a couple electric outlets which were inoperable, and a few little quirky items to report at the end of the trip - but you have to expect small issues to pop up, and in the grand scheme of things the Great Catsby performed well beyond expectation.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
We had to request a few missing items (bakeware/glasses) and we should have asked for knives, measuring cups, and a can opener - but we were able to make do without these items.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Very good! We utilized the air conditioning every anchorage we visited, and it worked flawlessly.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
I was very impressed, and told my group this was the best BVI trip in all my years of visiting the islands. I will definitely keep Navigare at the top of my list when we come back down in October!
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
Always, we couldn’t squeeze Anegada in this trip, but everywhere we visited was a huge hit with the group. Saba Rock is back and absolutely stunning, as is the Willy T! Next time we hope to visit Oil Nut Bay.
