boat hire in Bayahibe · Archambault — Princess (2000)

A rip-off!!!! Mr. Pablo (host) sells the excursion very well, but then it is a complete rip-off. I hired a private sailboat for 1000 dollars and 12 hours before he tells me that the boat has a breakdown but that he has solved it with a similar boat and he sends me a photo by WhatsApp, we agree and continue with the reservation, we go to the starting point and we are greeted by a man who takes us to the already prepared boat....and surprise!!!! A small boat that barely fits 5 people (it was not the boat in the photo). I argue with the person who greets us and refuse to get on since it was not what was agreed. I call Pablo straight away and during the phone conversation he tells me that he will pay me the difference in price (which he has done up until now) for not being the boat that had been booked. We agree so as not to waste the day, but it doesn't end there. The guide was a 12 year old boy who could barely swim and barely spoke, and the skipper was probably 18-20 years old and didn't speak much either. The boat's speakers didn't work (no music), they were carrying a can of petrol and the smell was unbearable. The excursion ended at 4:00 p.m., not at 6:00 p.m. as they sell it to you. In short, a complete scam!!!! I don't recommend it at all.
