Charter Company & Yacht
Please answer the following questions pertaining to the charter company and the yacht you chartered.
Rating of Charter Company & Yacht: 5
Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Yes. We had issues with the boat and the technical staff worked hard to resolve.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes overall. A review of the forward deck hatches and the storage below would be good.
Wanderer needs to have all reef lines released when raising the main. With the sail down the reef lines are too loose so they get cinched up at the clutch. The first raising of the main was entertaining.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
The yacht was clean and the basic systems all worked.
The black water tank gauges did not work so it was impossible to gauge your usage. Empty daily right up to your next moorage. We had a leak that required a return to base.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Be sure to do an inventory prior to departure. We did not have enough utensils for our crew of 8. I would add a medium pot and lid.
Binoculars would be nice. I never noticed if they were an extra we could have ordered.
Order a dinghy ladder.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
No. Wanderer has numerous port lights screwed shut (Jan 2026). Apparently they are having problems with replacement parts from Bali. This became a major comfort issue when the generator broke down resulting in no a/c.
The rear step ladders need some kind of water deflector on the deck above They leak if open in the rain.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Navigare was very pleasant to work with.
Wanderer pulls up into the wind when trying to sail with the main only. The jib was needed to counter the main. Useful to know prior to some frustrating sailing.

This group is thinking about another charter either next year or the year after. Initial thoughts are BVI’s again or maybe Saint Vincent. Would charter companies be willing to provide a charter discount if we commit sooner?

Very much.
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
Norman Island - snorkeling at the Caves.
Salt Island bay - good anchorage
Virgin Gorda North Sound - Saba Rock mooring field was great. Calm water for sup.
The Baths - day anchor in Valley Trunk Bay. Definitely dive your anchor as it is very rocky
Marina Cay - I would give this a miss unless you want to go over to Scrub Island
Little Jost mooring field with a stop at Sandy Cay
Last night in Great Harbour Jost Van Dyke. Took a cab over to Soggy dollar. There is a trail over the headland to the other beach. Check out Ivan's Stress Free Bar.
