“Worst Company - Do not Charter a Sailing Boat from them”

written by parip on 20/08/2013

We had arranged to charter a sailing boat from Corfu Yachting company. Before sending the money over to them for the boat they were very polite and cooperative. The big day has come and we were all very excited to start our sailing trip. We arrived to the marina only to realise that the boat wasn't ready and we had to wait for 5 hours as it hadn't been cleaned on the inside. Once we mentioned it to the owners they told us that in the contract it's written that we should get the boat at 5pm and ordered us to Get Out of their office. Complete lack of professionalism and rudeness. The boat although wasn't old it was in very bad condition and the engine stopped working while we were in the middle of the sea and there was no wind whatsoever to open the sails. We missed one whole of our 7 days trip as we had to go to a marina and wait for the owner's brother to come and fix the engine. No apology from the brother or anything at all. The owner of this small and awful company didn't even call our skipper to see what happened and if the problem was fixed. We love sailing and this wasn't the first time for us. The other companies that we have used in the past were amazing and because of them this year's experience has been bad. Do not charter a boat from them!!!
