Dufour 350 GL with 3 Cabins - Sailing Yacht (2016) - Feniks

Poor Because we had good experiences with 2x sailing with the Phoenix, now 3 weeks with the Phoenix. However, the years are beginning to count on the Phoenix, some wear and tear on sails and spray hood, and what was even more annoying was that the Bimini was no longer with the boat, enquiry at Angelinea showed that they did not have a replacement either (very careless (Angelina) in an environment where it can be very hot in the cockpit). We just gergeld a tarpaulin ourselves at the local builder's shop but that can't be the intention (especially when it's just on the inventory list. On our return, the anchor relay was also found to be faulty (fortunately we were not bothered and was replaced (at no cost to us). Phoenix remains a fine boat but the years are starting to add up. Croatia is of old a beautiful (sailing) area.

Excellent 2nd time we sailed the Phoenix (1st time booked directly with Angilina). Nice ship no problems, boat is good to sail with 4 people. Angelina got things right. Croatia a beautiful area.

Excellent Excellent boat, service, charter company and country infrastructure. I hadn’t noticed that the Genoa was self-tacking which was a disappointment to my very keen crew but the stern lines were a bit frayed at this point in the season but this was good for my keen crew who happily learnt to whip the ends. Our itinerary was as follows It took until 19.30 for checkin to be completed so stayed in Šibenik the first night. Opat Cove - it’s in the national park and your mooring and park fee gets rollled into your dinner bill so work is out really well. There was a storm and so we stayed an extra day and had to endure the amazing food once more. Electricity. No water. No showers but you can use the toilets. Piskera Marina - a bit more corporate but very helpful with the reverse parking. Zut - lovely place. Picked up a buoy of the Festa restaurant. Again food was good but they rather bumped us into going for the most expensive thing. We should have been stronger. Murter- bigger town, busy marina but a good stopping off point for the next day’s sail to Šibenik. Two really good days sail. Close hauled and reaching. It would be really good to be able to pay for 1 hour of tuition on using the bow thrusters. Managed in the end but would have liked to have had a little instruction. Also out navigation system thought we were in Venezuela but was using the brilliant navionics anyway.
