Poor I cannot be completely satisfied with the boat that was offered. There were several issues with the boat that were presumably known by the charter company but nothing was fixed EN. You pay for a polished boat and at check in you find an empty bottle and a lighter between the cushions, breadcrumbs everywhere, toothpaste residue in the wet room. Then the landlord informs you that there is something wrong with the water pump system. Due to a leak in the hot water boiler, the pump is going to reset the pressure for a while. Annoying because you have to turn off the electricity to that pump to avoid going crazy with the noise. Okay then, we leave and while hoisting the mainsail we notice that a winch has been taken apart but not defectively reassembled. Via a YouTube film we manage to do the job ourselves and we can continue...or so we think, because after hoisting the sails we want to sit back and relax for a while, but then it turns out that the autopilot is not working and the boat first deviates 15 degrees from its course, only to give errors after 5 minutes of calibration. A quick call to the technical department gives no solace as this is not something you can fix as a tenant. Okay we continue sailing and that works fine for the rest. Hot water from the engine is okay until one night at the quay when the electric element of the boiler fails. Fortunately, we shower in the marina's sanitary blocks. As icing on the cake, I break my little toe because the swimming platform was not completely level due to a twisted tie-in cable and on Thursday evening a mooring line gets caught in the propeller because a helping skipper pointed out the wrong mooring line...we were fortunately in the departure harbour because a heavy storm had been announced that Thursday evening, 5sept 2024 ( normally we are moored at a buoy) As a result, we could not set sail on Friday for our last day as a diver had to be called in. In short, not exactly a giant holiday but in this Tubber is not at fault. The charter company just sends out boats with sometimes known problems every week. Everything is paid for and the lessee has no leg to stand on...remarks are made but no sorry or compensation. Is also not my first time renting in Croatia and have had problems with substandard equipment like faulty anchor winches, faulty batteries or chargers etc on several occasions.
