boat hire in Portocolom · Bénéteau — Oceanis 40.1 (2021)

Boat very well maintained, spacious and comfortable. Very professional and friendly team (optimized check-in and check-out process, communication before boarding, availability of teams on the platform and at the administration, etc.). The only downside: the dinghy is small and the outboard motor is undersized *and* paying (100 euros). This is not like the rest of the 'VIP' service.

great welcome by a small helpful team. The boat was not ready on time, with some lack of cleanliness (instruments still full of salt for example). The week was particularly windy, unfortunately the engine battery being a bit weak, the engine had to be run 3 hours a day to keep it at 12V. The boat was equipped with sail any other than in the photo. A small self-tacking genoa and a furling mainsail in the mast. The description also gave a Gennaker included in the price. Which it didn't and appears to be a bug of Click&Boat. It's very interesting to leave PortoColom to go to Menorca in a week. Equipment such as the anchor control in the cockpit as well as a remote control to close the bathing platform in order to secure the boat were very pleasant. Sailing on Palma for several years, I notice a price inflation. You will have much better value for money in Croatia.

Comfortable, comfortable ship, we were 7 people and had enough space, sailing relatively comfortably due to the sails. Dingy lies across the front of the spray hood, the view to the front is then very limited, we then dragged it behind us. Hatches equipped with mosquito protection and sun protection. Everything worked, only the engine battery falsely gave alarms at night, but they were probably false alarms from the on-board battery. Operation of all sails, anchor navigation etc. very easy, no problems, well and fully equipped. Click&Boat App is annoying and superfluous, payment was shown with a time delay. You can totally forget the Sailsense app that you get shortly before for check-in, I kept getting warnings about too high speed, even though we were below the recommended range of the entry crew. All in all, highly recommended.

Top delivery and neat yacht, however, the photos did not match the actual yacht at all. These were catalog photos with different sails, different furniture and a different layout.
