Sailboat Dufour 41 (2024) for Charter - Rogoznica | #19664

Our recent yacht charter experience was largely positive, with a few minor hiccups. This new sailboat was in immaculate condition and offered excellent maneuverability, even when dealing with slower speeds or navigating in reverse, which was quite impressive. The space in the front cabin was surprisingly ample, adding to the overall comfort. When we faced a generator malfunction, the charter company was proactive and offered to send a technician to a different marina, which showed their commitment to customer service. On the downside, the manual switch and fuse for the anchor windlass were a bit tricky to operate, so I'd recommend paying close attention during the check-in process to understand these components. We did find ourselves lacking designated space for fender storage and trash bags, as the room for the anchor chain was not accessible from the deck. During the generator issue, we relied on charging the batteries with the main engine, and there was no inverter available. Additionally, the flame on the outside grill occasionally blew out, which was frustrating; our makeshift solution involved holding the gas button or using duct tape to keep it steady. Despite these minor inconveniences, our overall experience was fantastic, and the yacht's quality, pick-up, and overall service were top-notch.
