Trapani Vela Club - Bénéteau Oceanis 34.1

Do not trust the owner! The boat is one of those recent constructions that look nice but the build is of poor quality and things break easily even in calm conditions. Same with the owners, very nice in person but watch your back (and your deposit) once you leave. Totally dishonest. We are experienced sailors (including a sailing instructor) who are respectful of the material, but some minor things broke, which we did our best to replace upon arrival. The vang, which is a big metal arm below the mat fell the day after we started our trip, which could have been a hazard for the crew as the sail was no longer held properly. Thankfully the conditions were calm. We found a way to fix it, kept the owners informed and were able to continue our trip, even though it was not very reassuring. Upon arrival, the owner told us that it would be fine. But once we left, he refused to give us back 720 euros, including 300 euros to fix a small mark that was made by the vang falling (!!!). Do not go there

Esperienza meravigliosa, cominciando da Chiara Amadei, eccezionale nell’aiutarci trovare la barca perfetta ( con infinita pazienza) e sempre disponibile per risolvere dubbi e definire i dettagli. La barca impeccabile e gli armatori semplicemente adorabili. Assolutamente consigliato
