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
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
The boat briefer was really great and handled our multiple clarifying questions very well, never making us feel silly for asking anything. Not always the case with some charter companies
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Beautiful. No issues at all
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
All good
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes and the air conditioning worked perfectly.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Love that everything on the boat was labeled so you always knew what was what and how to work it. Boat was clearly very well maintained.
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
Standard route: Cooper - Baths - Leverick - Anegada - CGB - JVD - Norman - Peter.
One point to note was that we stayed at Peter island on the dock which was amazing - ate at The Drake and had a wonderful meal - when we came to pay they had automatically added 23% tip and then made us feel bad for not wanting to add an additional gratuity on top of the already very expensive meal - created a bit of a sour feeling on the evening.

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?
The staff at Navigare were incredible! From the moment we stepped in the office to the time we checked out they were great! The catamaran was in beautiful shape and everything was perfect. The office staff was professional and polite, they were so accommodating and genuine. The dock staff was amazing, professional and polite!
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
We had a pretty thorough walkthrough of all the systems aboard and I felt comfortable with the Catamaran after we had finished.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
The Catamaran was beautiful and clean!
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
The Catamaran did not have a spatula or broom. We picked up a spatula from the store and there was a dust pan and brush onboard.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
All the windows, ports and doors worked great. They allowed a great flow of air when we needed it. The air conditioner ran cold!
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Navigare is first class and I will not hesitate to charter with them in the future! The Michelle Ma belle was in fine shape and actually was better than we expected. 2 refrigerators with freezer shelves and 2 refrigerator drawers, plus a cooler for ice and drinks.
