Sailboat Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 419 (2018) for Charter - Split | #6836

The charter experience was excellent. The takeover of the boat went smoothly, and the quality of the yacht was actually top-notch. However, there were some challenges in the marina. The number of transport carts was limited, which made it a bit uncomfortable, and the shower was unfortunately damaged. In addition, the space was a bit tight and there were not enough parking spaces available. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall package felt worthwhile, and the overall experience was positive.

Our yacht adventure was quite an interesting journey, filled with both comfort and a few minor hurdles. The yacht was quite manageable and comfortable considering its size, and it boasted a spacious swimming platform, which was a delightful feature for us. The check-in process was smooth, with the staff being exceptionally friendly and helpful. As expected with charter boats, there were a few minor issues, but nothing unmanageable. Initially, the main toilet was a bit problematic, possibly exacerbated by our young crew of four boys aged 10-13 years. It seemed like it hadn’t been emptied properly before we took over. Next time, we’d definitely give the tank a thorough check before setting sail. Another slight inconvenience was with the batteries, which didn't hold a charge as well as anticipated, and the water tank indicators were not reliable. One indicator never showed more than a quarter full, while the other misleadingly suggested fullness. To avoid running out, we made sure to fill the tank to its brim. As for the dinghy, it provided a bit of a challenge: the oar holders were missing screws, making rowing tedious. Adding to the complexity, the motor was jerky and needed some tweaking to keep an even pace, although it wasn't perfect after our adjustments. Additionally, there seemed to be a leakage issue with the fuel or oil. Lastly, the lighting in the cockpit wasn't ideal, with only a couple of LEDs in the table. We creatively used headlamps attached to the bimini for better visibility during the evenings. Despite these hiccups, we had fair winds and an enjoyable voyage, with the overall quality of the yacht and value for money being commendable, making it a pleasant maritime experience overall.

Navigating through this yacht experience was fairly smooth and enjoyable. The yacht was easy to handle and surprisingly comfortable given its size, which was a relief for our journey. One of the highlights was the expansive swimming platform—a great spot for relaxing and soaking up the sun. During the check-in process, the ladies assisting us were notably friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming start to our adventure. Although no yacht is without its quirks, we didn't encounter any major technical problems. Over time, we got accustomed to the yacht's peculiarities and adjusted accordingly. We did face some minor issues, such as the main toilet not functioning optimally. It’s possible that the presence of four young boys aged between 10 and 13 may have contributed, but it also seemed like it might not have been completely emptied prior to our arrival. Next time, I’d make sure to check the tank levels before embarking. There were a few technical shortcomings: the batteries seemed to struggle with holding charge, and the water tank indicators were somewhat inaccurate, with one not showing above a quarter full and another sometimes showing full when it wasn't. To avoid running dry, it's best to fill the tanks to the brim. As for the dinghy, it was an interesting experience. Some screws were missing from the oar holders, making rowing a bit of a chore, but necessary since the motor’s revs were unstable. We managed a temporary fix on the second day, but the motor still wasn't ideal, leaking fuel or oil occasionally. Lighting in the cockpit was insufficient with only a couple of LEDs on the table, so we improvised by attaching headlamps to the bimini. Despite these minor hurdles, the journey was enjoyable, and we had fair winds throughout. Overall, the yacht and the experience met our expectations and provided a memorable trip.
