Bad service, they tried to fool me, and the equipment was wanting

Nobody came to conduct the pre-charter briefing until almost 11:00 a.m. when I intercepted an employee of the company and begged him to come to the boat for the pre-check. During the pre-check, I mentioned that there was an alarm that sounded periodically, approximately every 5 minutes. After waiting a while longer for a mechanic to come to the boat to check the alarm, the employees of the charter company tried to convince me that every Dufour makes that sound. I am not an imbecile, so I did not accept that explanation and asked them if I was supposed to spend the whole week with the alarm 24 hours/7 days. Evidently, they did not share my opinion about me not been an imbecile, so they insisted that said alarm in normal in every Dufour. Finally, my wife fixed the alarm which was caused by a malfunctioning sensor. Since it was already passed noon, I asked if I could return the boat the last day later in the afternoon. Trying to get approval for that fair request was another ordeal. I had to look for the supervisor all around the marina and, at the end, was instructed to call them a couple of days before the end of the charter to see if they authorized the late return of the boat. A couple of days in my vacation the anchor windlass began dropping the anchor while we were sailing. I tried to stop it but could not. I had to pull the anchor and the chain by hand while under way. I will not charter from this company again under any circumstance.

Partying vs. Sailiing
|
|
I specifically selected the Sun Loft because it is (besides a very few exceptions) the only way to have 6 real cabin. There is a 7th skipper "cabin" at the bow.
To make this happen, all the living space has been brought up on the deck (you only have cabins and bathrooms under deck).
The Charter company (base location, people, service, etc.) is great.
On the plus side (boat): very social, everyone is together; huge table/sun bath on the back.
On the minus side (boat): you don't have a separate space to drive or trim the sail. You end up moving across people preparing lunch to trim the sale. The mast seems really short, the boom is really high (to clear the sun top), which means the mainsail is pretty small.
The jib is self-tacking, which means it is really small as well.
So the boat is ok when you have a lot of wind, but remember you have the kitchen right there by the steering wheels...
And finally - no bow thruster. I can't even understand why you would manufacture a charter boat of that size without a boat thruster.
In summary, I would definitely charter a boat again at this charter company (good location, nice people, effective service), but probably not a Sun Loft 47. You have boats of the same size on the market that are so much more fun to sail - but they will have only max. 5 cabins...

Storm

Another vacation with Marenauta. This time Cyclades. We had brand new boat, and again perfect service at Lavrion marina.
Unfortunately we had terrible weather. 3 days of terrible storm. One of those days, we were at the open see with 7 bofors, and wind gusts over 54 kn, and crazy waves. Sailing boats were forbidden to leave ports that day, but somehow we were there. In this hard sea, we had big problem. Some electrical instalation, and bow truster were out of order. In this critical moments we had very good communication with marina manager, Vasilis. He helped us to find a man for help, as well as to encuridge us to continue trip.
This was precious , it that moments when you don't see easy way out.
At the end, we had again exceptional reception in marina. I Have to mention that all cost of reparation, was accepted by agency!
We had perfect last night in Lavrion, and for sure we will go again!

Dopo l'arrivo a Portorosa sabato nel pomeriggio per il briefing, domenica mattina, con discreto vento e meteo accettabile siamo partiti alla volta di Vulcano e successivo pernottamento alla Marina di Vulcanello. L'indomani mattina partenza per Lipari con sosta per bagno e pranzo in baia, pernottamento alla Marina di Porto Pignataro con ottima assistenza da parte di Eol.Mare e posto barca confortevole. Martedì partenza per Salina con tempo bello, vento e mare arrabbiati, prima della traversata sosta per bagno a Spiagge Bianche. Mercoledì, mare "difficile", ci concediamo colazione con brioche e granita da Alfredo in località Lingua, poi visita a Salina fino a Pollara a trovare la spiaggia del "Postino"; il mare ha perso un po' di forza e decidiamo di passare la notte in rada di fronte alla spiaggia Biscotto. Giovedì mattina partiamo presto con destinazione Panarea ma un forte temporale sull'isola ci fa desistere e deviamo verso Lipari, sosta per bagno e pranzo a spiaggia de La Forbice e rientro a Porto Pignataro per la notte. Venerdì mattina, con ottimo vento, dirigiamo la prua verso Portorosa per il rientro previsto alle 18 e l'ultima notte in barca prima della fine delle vacanze.

I discourage definitely this charter company, which treats customers as objects with impoliteness. Probably caused by a lack of personnel, our check in took place at 19.00 despite our full crew was in place since 13.00. No effort was made to shorten the waiting. After witnessing an American customer being insulted in French (which he did not understand) because of a snorkel kit request, we checked in in our Bali which we found in very poor cleanliness conditions (see photo). The manager pretended that the boat was very clean (!).
Batteries were draining under 11,5 after 1 hour without engine, lazy bag was broken and Genoa cart also. Main sail setting was poor, thus bow line gaits were difficult.
Despite all that the week was pleasant, but the charter behavior, also at check out, left us disappointed.
