Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Took a while to get the dinghy and get off the dock, but this wasn't too big of an issue. A bigger issue was not having a lock or anchor for the dinghy.

Also the portside forward berth ceiling hatch leaked. This was a bigger issue and one that the charter company had to be aware of in advance. We made the necessary adjustments onboard, to make it work.

The dingy was a ZarMini and only fit 4 adults whereas our charter was for 8 adults. We had to do double trips in and out at every port. Really needed a large dingy
The engine on the dingy was faulty and VERY hard to start. We could not have it in idol or slow down quickly because engine would cut out.

They dingy and dingy engine did not match the quality of the boat.
