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?
We arrived late after the office had closed, but we received the welcome packet and the boat was cooled off, clean and prepared for our sleep aboard the night before the charter.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes the boat briefing was thorough, without being overwhelming. They made sure we had enough information to operate the boat, and a number to reach them if there were any issues that we didn't cover, or that we may have forgotten.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yes, the main salon had one (of 2) A/C's that was not working, but because there were two it did not affect our comfort at all. it was discussed during the boat briefing and the one that was working was plenty to cool the salon.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes, we cooked several meals on board and used all of the cooking equipment. There was everything we needed to prepare and cook meals, and all the equipment worked as expected. There was a hand held broom and dust pan to sweep the salon, and it would have been nice to have a full sized broom for cleaning, but what we had was sufficient.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
The charter company was great to work with, and the yacht was in good shape and performed as expected. I will definitely charter with them again!

Very friendly and accommodating. Once of the most cheerful group I have ever been in contact with.

The walkthrough was incredibly thorough AND entertaining. Highly recommended!

Yacht was in great condition. No complaints.

A/C work amazing, and the entire back half opened up to let breezes in throughout the day.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Navigare staff (particularly Avril and Patrice) went far above and beyond tracking down my lost baggage and getting it from STT to Trellis for me. Avril even worked on her day off to coordinate details and make sure I got my bags. I can't overstate how amazing they were. They literally saved our trip!
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Cruising area was amazing. Christmas in July was a little hectic for us, but Avril provided helpful tips to avoid the crowds that ended up working marvelously.
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
All the highlights were as advertised: the baths, the caves, Cooper, Monkey Point, etc. A couple that stick out were dancing at Foxy's till closing time and snorkeling from the Caves around Treasure Point.
