Dufour 430 Grand Large with 4 Cabins - Sailing Yacht (2020) - Nikolas-Aegeas

Terrible Lovely two-week holiday. Minus point was that the boat was in very poor condition (despite being a fairly new boat). Rental price was completely out of line with quality as a result. Some examples: The anchor winch was broken which meant that anchor had to be brought in manually often (at 20 metres of anchorage, this is hard work). Landlord did not want to fix this. One holding tank could not be closed which meant the capacity was small compared to the amount of crew. Repair was not done by owner until winter break. The service batteries were worn out and empty after only two hours (after four hours if the fridge was off). This meant you had to get out of bed repeatedly at night to turn off the battery alarm. Outside kitchen did not work due to rusted gas knobs, door knobs fell off doors and bolts to fix them were over-turned. Attachment cushions were broken, making the chances of losing one high. Taking all this into account, I also give a low rating
