Jordi, the captain was amazing. Really cool man that taught us some basics about sailings. It was really nice sailing with him and we had a blast ! Only drawback was lack of communication from Jorge. 10 days before, I started sending messages directly on WhatsApp to get all the remaining information and make sure I will forget nothing. However, it happened that when I arrived, I had to : - bring cash for the captain - pay a deposit Jorge told me that when I booked, 4 months before. I was annoyed as I didn't have such amount of cash with me and it created a tension with Jordi for that reason ... Please send the most important information a few days before. I felt also that was me seeking for information, and not Jorge b eing proactive. Except that communication issue, everything was good!
Very good stay on board
The sailboat is not ready for rent. It has many deficiencies. The gas lever broke the first day, it was eaten away by salt. The genoa had a break. The bilge filter was clogged and did not drain water. The fuel tank warning light was not working, it showed full, even though it was empty. Broken candlesticks. The spray guard unstitched and taped.... When returning the deposit they try to collect all the damages and refuse to return it. After two months we managed to collect part of it.
We had a great stay on Argos and the welcome was really great thank you Jorge and the others ?
All very well.
Argos is a reliable boat, sailing well in all weathers. Sailing and equipment are well maintained except for the wind vane which was lacking. For the rest, the comfort is there, the itinerary advice was appreciated. Note that Jorge requires a boat license. I recommend this rental.
It has been a pleasure to sail with the boat, a nice navigation and we hope to enjoy it again in the future. Apart from a problem with the water tank, everything went well.
Jorge is a pleasant and attentive owner, he made it easy for us to be in contact with him throughout the journey. Regarding the schedules, he was very flexible, allowing us to check-out a little later than agreed. The sailboat is old but it is very careful to detail and the maintenance is correct. It is a nice boat and easy to handle. I would definitely repeat.
It has been a very good experience being on Jorge's boat. It is very, very well equipped and Jorge has been very attentive to all the details and has helped us when some things have not gone well. We will book again this summer for sure!
A welcome initially good, but a lot of disappointments then: genoa winder blocked with the spinnaker halyard not to post, winder SGS 2 times blocked, failures in equipment, no physical security cards (mandatory) and to finish cashing of our deposit following a bp of slight friction from the neighboring boat which we have found no damage, whose owner present did not ask us to report and we presented after the rental a photo of a pb of gelcoat located on the other side !!! I specify that we have on the deposit will be cashed only by our bank! Finally, no one on arrival, the owner being at the wedding of his sister (he probably did not know a week before he went !!!), and secure parking at the port announced as free for our 2 vehicles then 35 € per vehicle ... we had to pay 120 € !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run away ! I never saw that!
super nice, boat not bad at all, we exploded, everyone was very happy super interesting this rental concept between private
Honorable performance, with a winding GV which I discovered the comfort it brings. Superb sailboat very habitable, six adults and two children without stepping on it. Well maintained and with faultless equipment. A big thank you to Jorge who took his time to take control of the boat.
To advise ++ Very available at the time of booking, responsive to messages and easily answering questions; Jorge has allowed us to feel confident at every stage of the rental, associating his professionalism with a very good welcome on his boat. Thank you!
It was a good experience, very comfortable and safe boat very well, the reception very well. I will use Click & Boat platform for my next vacation.
All great
