We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Both Richard and Charlie were very friendly, accommodating to our desires and patient. There was never an awkward moment on board and we felt welcome all the times.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Carmella was pristine. It should be noted that both the master suite and the v-berth (we occupied by us) are unusually spacious for a sailing yacht.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
There were plenty of hatches that were all open as soon as sailing was finished.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
We were amazed by the quality of food and its presentation that Charlie managed to arrange for us. We did not think that this level of cooking was possible on a sailing yacht. Unfortunately, after a few days we had to ask Charlie to skip the appetizers – it was simply too much to eat!
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
Both Richard and Charlie gave very good recommendations. We liked that we jointly discussed our routes.
6. Could we have helped you further in any way?
7. May we post this review on our website?
Yes
8. Additional comments on your charter?
One of our desires was to give our sons (10 and 14 years old) the opportunity to sail. Richard was an excellent teacher for many topics of seamanship. He let our sons steer his yacht and adjust the sails, gave advice and a helpful hand whenever needed.
