The boat was in good conditions, even though some things could have been better. There were only very few hooks within the salon to hang things, which was unfortunate. Furthermore there were only few handles to walk stable under deck while sailing. Some things on the boat were broken, even though we could fix them ourself. The staff was nice and supportive.

Poštovani, drago nam je da možemo ostaviti naše dojmove sa odmora i plovidbe na brodu Vella. Proveli smo predivnih tjedan dana, maksimalno smo uživali, brod je itekako komforan za sve nas koji smo bili na brodu, uključujući dijete malo i psa. Što se tiče samog broda, nemamo nekih zamjerki, jedino bi preporučili da se malo bolje iskomunicira sa agencijom koja radi čišćenje, taj dio, obzirom da je jedan od wc-a od samog iplovljavanja, pa do kraja odmora konstantno imao neugodan miris, tokom puštanja vode u isti, pa smo nekako to 'krpali' cijelim putem. Funkcionalnost broda je maksimalna, za sve stvari smo imali mjesta, kuhinja i sve u njoj odlično je bilo, kao i stražnji dio broda (boravak), gdje smo provodili jako puno vremena. Sve u svemu, jedno pozitivno, lijepo i novo iskustvo za sve nas, te vjerujemo kako ćemo iduće godine ponovno zaploviti jednim od vaših brodova.

We chartered the Catamaran Arkab in Olbia. This 2018 boat has been chartered in Caribbean until March of 2025 and in April when arrived in Italy went thru some basic repairs. The boat was beaten up, cushions were old and ripped, lack of some basic cocking supplies, no microwave oven, no fans in cabins, no TV set, some reading lights not working. Months before the trip, I asked about a place to hold some luggage and over the phone I was informed by Marenauta, that Dream Yatch base has a place to keep it. This was not correct, and I was informed only at my arrival at the base that we only had space for 2 luggage although we were a crew of 10. By chance, the skipper came in with a car and we put all luggage inside his car. I asked Marenauta the skipper’s and hostess’s phones weeks before the trip to organize my vacation, however, I was informed by Marenauta the contact numbers only at the date of the departure. Due to the lack of response from Marenauta about such contacts, I managed to call Dream Yatch directly and got the phones numbers a week before. Those things show that Marenauta has no clue of the conditions of the Dream Yatch base which is not good when compared to Portisco, there is no service near the base. We paid for early checkin and we only were free to leave by 3:30 PM with little difference from the standard 5:00 PM time. The inventory at the boat was not fully checked and the dinghy had no rows, thus we had limited use of the dinghy. Finally, last night some of the crew had an unpleasant discussion with the skipper over the place to stay as we were tied to a gasoline station in Aranci Port with choppy conditions, although better places were available such as the place we spent in the day after. If known in advance the conditions of the place, probably the discussions could be avoided.

Die Mitarbeiter am Standort waren sehr freundlich und bemüht. Leider gab es am Boot schwere Mängel, die zum Teil bei der Übernahme noch nicht ersichtlich war. - Der Inverter am Boot war schon mit der gleichzeitigen Ladung von 3 Handy Akkus überfordert - keine Chance eine Kaffeemaschine oder einen Föhn zu betreiben. Der Inverter war wirklich nur Schrott. -In dere Steurerbord Heckkabine gab es massiven Dieselgeruch während des Törns. Wir waren nur 4 Personen, deshalb konnten wir diese Kabine meiden. -Der Schwarzwassertank beim WC der Heckkabine war nicht dicht, genau gesagt die Verschraubung vom Schwarzwassereinlauf in den Tank. Übler Geruch im Naßraum war die Folge. Wir haben es während des Törns notdürftig abgedichtet. - Die Matratzen sollten unbedingt getauscht werden, weil sie wirklich schon große Eintiefungen haben. -Der Anker hat sich beim Ankern mit der Ankerspitze nach oben oder zur Seite gedreht. Es gab praktisch keinen Halt dadurch. Ein sicheres Ankern war nicht möglich, auch nicht auf Sandgrund. Schwer zu sagen, was da das Problem ist. Der Mitarbieter von Dream Yacht hat uns aber bestätigt, dass sich bereits anderes Skipper über den Anker beschwert haben. So ein Anker gefährdet die Sicherheit der Crew.

This was the second year in the row that we started our sailing week from Rogoznica. And it was even better experience than the last year. Now, Klara and the rest of the crew in the Base already know us, and everything goes so smooth and easy. Arrival, transfer of goods to the boat, boat check, everything is perfect. We returned earlier, on Friday ( had to go back to Zagreb ), and also everything was super. Thanks Klara, to you and the boys. For our friends from abroad, Rogoznica is the excelent point to start your sailing, wheter you plan to sail south, to Vis, Hvar, Brač, or go to Kornati!!!

Ich bin rundum zufrieden, es hat alles gut geklappt.
