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

Terrible Nice two week vacation we had. 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 the quality because of this. Some examples: The anchor winch was broken so that often had to pull in anchor manually (at 20 meters anchoring is hard work). Landlord did not want to fix this. One holding tank could not be closed so 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 refrigerator 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. Mounting cushions were broken so the chances of losing one are high. With all this in mind, I also give a low rating.
