Please answer the following questions pertaining to the charter company and the yacht you chartered.
Rating of Charter Company & Yacht: 4
Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Office staff very friendly. Sleeping aboard is good logistics but bad sleep. Most dock staff commented how rough their marina is. I would recommend staying in a hotel rather than the boat.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes. Tika does a solid walkthrough.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?

Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes. Appreciated the extra cooking tools.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
