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?
Good, but could have been a little better. Seemed to have been rushed and very busy.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
90%. There were a few things that shold have been repaired. We reported those when we turned in the boat and it is my understanding it was going out the next day, so it is doubtful those were repaired for the next client. The Moorings was very good and nice boats, but they need to slow down some and make sure everything is A+.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
More than sufficient.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Excellent. AC.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
See above notes.
