Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Staff was very good. Office was hard to find.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes, we had a Captain that showed us an extensive amount as well as training videos sent to me in advance.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
It was clean but, there appeared to be some deferred maintenance. I assumed it was kind of like the rental car business when they turn over so fast. Many customers might just not comment. I wrote down any and all issues and shared them with Navigarre upon my check-in post sail. Nothing was serious - just some small annoyances.
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?
There were only about 4 tools on board so if I needed to fix something - I.e. the dinghy suspension straps in the dinghy, it was a bit challenging.

We sailed on the Freestyle in April 2022. Capt. Chris was a consummate professional, extraordinary captain and very easy to get along with. He was very accommodating to our schedule and laid back attitude made the pace of our trip our own. We felt as though we had our own private guide and local at every stop we made with excellent recommendations for shopping, restaurants and snorkeling.

This was our second trip on Starfish and we couldn’t be happier. We enjoyed every single minute of our trip. Sam and Jen work tirelessly to make sure that everyone was comfortable. Part of our group wanted to snorkel, some wanted to beach. Sam and Jen made sure that each person had their vacation goals met. The meals presented were incredible! I don’t know how they do it! Jen, you are a master of your craft!
