Charter Company & Yacht
Please answer the following questions pertaining to the charter company and the yacht you chartered.
Rating of Charter Company & Yacht: 3
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?
Yes
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
No. AC did not work well. Took most of the night to get cool.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
No. Cooking equipment was good. However the boat did not have a sponge to clean dishes and they weren’t sold anywhere we stopped. Also would have liked a broom/dustpan/swiffer mop to clean the galley floors as they get quite sandy and dirty throughout the day. Also extra bath towels as one per person for the week is not sufficient if you have no access to laundry services. Bath mat as we had to use one of our hand towels to step on out of shower.

Lex our captain was amazing!

Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Yes they were!
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes they did.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
It was a great experience and the Yacht was great. However a few details easy fix. We have a boat at home so we know how to take good care. Previous renters apparently hit some corners. The rubber lining just needed a few screws. And a bit more cleaning around. But overall good. Not sure the aging, but it said 2020.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Cooking perfect! The knife sharpener was a plus.
Cleaning no. We had to purchase everything for cleaning. Only small dish soap. We purchase moping liquid and bathroom detergent. It is difficult to clean the floor seating in it. Please please leave a swifter or a mop. I had to use the outside broom with a few paper towels and fantastic to clean the floors every day. No wonder we found roaches. We also bought a wire brush for the BBq. Cleaning products are a MUST.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes !
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
AC was great. One toilet was working but it smelled like old poop all the time since I got there. Awful and we notified at check out. I had to por fabuloso everyday and open the window so it won’t smell inside.
