We had an extremely disappointing and unpleasant experience with this yacht charter.
When we arrived at the agreed meeting point, the captain was not there. After several phone calls, he finally arrived about 1.5 hours late, without any apology.
The biggest issue was that he brought his pregnant dog onboard. The dog had a very strong odor, making it impossible to sit comfortably anywhere on the yacht. Besides the smell, we also felt uncomfortable and unsafe sharing such a small space with an unfamiliar dog.
During every swimming stop, the skipper himself would jump into the water and swim before we could leave, forcing us to wait until he was finished.
The yacht itself was in very poor conditionâold, dirty, and badly maintained. The engine produced a constant smell of diesel fumes, making it difficult to breathe even while we were out at sea. Instead of enjoying the fresh air, we spent the day breathing exhaust.
To make matters worse, the captain appeared to deliberately avoid using fuel. In 6 hours, we covered only about 5 nautical miles, moving at an incredibly slow speed. We repeatedly asked him to end the tour earlier because the conditions were unbearable, but he refused and continued at the same painfully slow pace.
Overall, what should have been a relaxing day on the water turned into a real nightmare. This was by far one of the worst yacht experiences we have ever had. We cannot recommend this charter to anyone looking for a professional, clean, and enjoyable experience.
