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!

VACANZA IN BARCA ALLE ISOLE EOLIE
|
|
Dovevamo essere in 4 in questa vacanza, due coppie + lo skipper, ma circa un mese prima di partire abbiamo realizzato che saremmo stati tre, io, mio marito e il nostro amico + lo skipper.
Per me era la prima volta in barca per un'intera settimana, c'ero stata infatti due volte ma solo per un weekend, ed ero molto curiosa di vedere come sarebbe andata.
Come è andata quindi? Sinceramente? Meglio di cosi non poteva andare! Ho adorato tutto!
Lo skipper Toni, croato, subito uno di noi... e già dal secondo giorno, era come se ci conoscessimo da tantissimo tempo. Insieme giorno per giorno abbiamo deciso dove andare, cosa fare e dove fermarci a dormire. Gentile, simpatico ma soprattutto professionale e disponibile. Non potevamo chiedere di piu!
La barca, perfetta alla fine per stare in totale in 4 e non in 5. Abbiamo finito la settimana, immaginandoci già l'anno prossimo, in un altro posto su un altra barca. Magari un catamarano e in piu amici? Chissà... ma c'è tempo!
Le isole Eolie! Tutte quelle che abbiamo visto (tranne Vulcano) una più bella dell'altra, e poi dal mare, ancora più meravigliose. Ho adorato ogni singolo tramonto e alba, (quando mi svegliavo in tempo), andare a fare la spesa e la colazione con la brioche e la granita con la panna a terra, mangiare siciliano, perdermi per le stradine a Panarea, andare alla festa del paese annuale di Alicudi con il gommone da Filicudi.
Lo staff al Porto, disponibile e gentile sia alla partenza che all'arrivo, oltre che molto professionale.
Insomma una vacanza che ricorderò e ricorderemo tutti con gran piacere... e assolutamente consigliata oltre che da rifare!
