General impression is very good.
Boat: there were some broken things, but since I did not expect very high
standards from charter boat of this age and that price I was OK with it.
There was one unforgivable thing: content of the holding tank was leaking
back to the toilet and it never should happen on any boat of any age.
Also not enough kitchen utensils, though not critical but could be better.
Regarding Marenauta: general impression of very good quality of service.
But web site could be better. I have found it very inconvenient that pictures
of the boats on web site do not show real boats and sometimes not even boats
of the same kind.
As an experienced sailor I could learn a lot about the boat from the
pictures and it took me some time to understand that pictures are irrelevant.
On the other hand texts are 50% useless, saying trivial things like
'engines: 1, engine type: diesel' (not sure I've ever seen on sites of rent-a-car that cars have one benzine engine).
Nevertheless, very good impression, Marenauta team is positive and responsive.
Thanks

Great Week with a few problams . . . .
One of the best things about sailing around Croatia is that you can go out to the remote islands. That does mean that sometimes you can't actually see land or any other boats depending on the visibility and how adventurous you want to be. For that reason you do need a boat that definitely has a working autohelm, especially when you are double handed (2 people). Sadly we realised too late into the week to realise that there was a problem with Autohelm on the boat.
I am a bit adventurous and one of our days that meant that I was on the helm for 11 hours straight with the odd break from my girlfriend.
Real shame as would have made a big difference to the holiday.
At the end of the day we had a great time and I would like to thank Marenauta for finding us the near perfect boat for our trip.

A week sailing around Skopolos
Our first time with Marenauta. I cannot speak highly enough of this Company. Lampros, our contact was
extremely helpful and all in all it made for a wonderful experience. We would certainly use them again.

Grand Soleil is very good sailing boat
Very good boat, but in the future I would never rent a boat with electrical toilets anymore ;-(
The welcome was very pleasant and helpful, we were picked up by the supermarket and more importantly brought back to the boat. That helps for a great start. The weather was not very good, some rain and very strong winds. Also the distances between save harbours on the north coast of Sicily is rather big.
