This was an excellent experience! I ve been chartering boats all over the Mediterranean for more than 15 years and it is very rare that you find a charter boat where everything functions perfectly! This is not a normal charter boat as the owner use it mainly for skippered charters by himself, and you can tell because of all the small details that normal boats don’t have. 2 floating lines for easy mooring, 100m anchor chain for extra safety, beautiful sails bigger than the normal ones, blue tooth sound system that actually works, USB ports in cabins, romantic cockpit lighting, good fridge, cockpit cushions, shoe-box, salt-pepper-olive oil, hand soap included, and the beds where made which was a great relief! Mike is super friendly and he was there to answer me when I texted him with a question at 9pm! He takes great care of his boat, and offers great support. Will come back to this one! Highly recommended!
Really good RYA certified skipper, the yacht returned flawless, I wish every charterer was like Ioannis
Never before have I met such an engaged, helpful and competent owner and manager of a boat I had chartered like Mike has been. Whenever we needed help or advice we could contact him to solve our problem. Big thank you. Harald.
Good german sailor, he likes things working, will take care of your boat.
Our experience with this guy was awful. The boat was absolutely unsafe. We lost power of engine to go forward, solar panels felt down, almost killed somebody, main sail had problems to open etc… after all we lost deposit, because of the problems with engine that apparently occurred before, especially because owner didn’t want to accept insurance of deposit! We were totally unsafe on this boat and WE WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO NOBODY!!
Hi Filip we’ve read through your review and believe there is some misunderstanding. The engine has been working perfectly during all previous charters but as I showed you and your crew mates during check out, it came completely out of its bases after your trip. We believe this might have happened during your grounding in shallow waters where you also caught a stern line in the prop. I understand that you do not admit that, maybe you did not realize at the time, but there are pictures taken by other fellow skippers of the yacht in the shallows, plus proof by GPS tracker, plus pictures of the line marks in the prop. We were all really fortunate that the bottom was mud, avoiding further damage to the boat. The main sail opened perfectly during check in AND check out so I suppose it was a matter of wrong handling; I am available 24/7 on my phone you could have always called to ask for instructions. Regarding the solar panel thank you for having brought this to our attention, it was a matter of a loose screw, which has now been corrected. We are so sorry. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and we regret that we missed the mark. Again it would be our pleasure to come and fix it wherever you where, it was a matter of just calling us at the time. We are relatively new on this platform and do not have many reviews here yet, but there are tens of amazing reviews in Google and other platforms. We trust that our potential clients understand that your comments have been written while emotionally overwhelmed. This is the first time in our career we have withheld the entire security deposit to anyone. We do not like doing that. Making mistakes or having accidents at sea is normal and we are always flexible and understanding with sincere, straightforward clients. Please know that your situation was an exception. We happily invite you to come back, to enjoy an excellent service and take the opportunity to leave a new 5 star review like all the rest of our clients.
