SabineText automatically translatedUnfortunately, our long-awaited vacation was disappointing, Riccardo broke off on the 3rd day, he didn't like us, 1 week was booked. We didn't sail a minute, only drove with the engine. The mood of the captain fluctuated a lot, several times a day and after the 2nd night he lost his temper and screamed for the first time. It was very uncomfortable and we felt very uncomfortable afterwards.Unser langersehnter Urlaub war leider enttäuschend, Riccardo brach am 3. Tag ab, er mochte uns nicht, gebucht war 1 Woche. Wir sind keine Minute gesegelt, nur mit dem Motor gefahren. Die Stimmung des Kapitän schwankte stark, mehrmals täglich und bereits nach der 2. Nacht hat er erstmals die Beherrschung verloren und geschrien. Er war sehr unangenehm und wir fühlten uns danach auch sehr unwohl.
Ricardo KnightText automatically translatedClient Mrs Sabine come on board and every thing was perfect..but I discovered she have some kind of hillnnes ( Some respiratory problem..she use an oximeter many times in the day..and her temper change in the next days) Becoming agressive without any reason.At the 3th day she decide to cancel the trip..then I contact Samboat and explain the situation...she want all her payment back and been discusing with Samboat for long time... Unfortunly we dont know who is coming to chartering and sail with us..Obviously she had a problem and we are not responsable for clients with emotional or phisical problems. We will continous working as we did since we open the company with high quality standars and trying to gave to our customers the best experience posible....Most of my guests are so happy ...this Kind of situation are not normal.-{{ commentTranslate }} -

DennisText automatically translatedWe had such a great time with our skipper Richard, a week that we will never forget. He showed us many awesome places, we even got the chance to see dolphins! Richard became a friend of us right from the beginning. We enjoyed his stories, jokes and his cooking skills. Depending on your wishes, he always has plan b and plan c, so at the end of the day everybody was happy throughout our journey!{{ commentTranslate }} -
HerveText automatically translatedThe skipper went from overdone ehthusiasm to abrupt comments/interdictions. He got annoyed for the slightest reasons. The final invoice included unexpected items. He insisted on being paid in cash and got very upset when we did not have the 1200 euros. He grabbed all our cash from my hand and said that it was his tip. The guy is unstable and potentially dangerous. We do not recommend.{{ commentTranslate }}
Ricardo KnightText automatically translatedMr. Borrel knews exacly the conditions of the charter payment.In our chat before embarking every item was clear...when he arrives I did a breafing meeting to let every thing clear about it...this is the normal procedure with all my guests...to avoid any misunderstanding..or desagreement ..Once arrived to port...He told me that have not money to pay...I offer him to pay by Bank transfer..24 hours later once he flow back to home he Cancel the transfer.. Inmediatly contact Samboat explain the situation and request assistance...Samboat contact him and finally Mr Borrel.transfer part of the money..Not the total amount of his Invoice..Never have an experience like this in so many years since I open my Company My Super Owner Condition...the incredibles reviews of my guests...are the certainty of the quality service and seriousness of our work{{ commentTranslate }} -
RikText automatically translatedOur 4 day trip with Ricardo exceeded our expectations. Ricardo is very nice company, full of stories, a good cook and very patient. It is clear that he knows the area very well. In addition, he is very flexible, plans can easily be changed. He took us to places where we normally would not have come, such as the best Peka restaurant and an old Yugoslavian military naval base. Thanks Ricardo!{{ commentTranslate }} -
ThomasText automatically translatedHad a great time. Ricardo treated us like friends in his house (boat). Attentive, courteous simply nice. He showed us wonderful places and was always concerned about our well-being. Breakfast was very good and catered to our needs. A cook was lost on him. :-) gladly again. Thanks very much.

AlexText automatically translatedI highly recommend skipper Ricardo to everyone who likes an unforgettable sailing trip in the Croation waters. We (group of 6 friends) sailed a long weekend together with Richard, visited several islands and swimming places. Richard proved not only to be a professional sailor but also a very good/very friendly host (nice breakfast!) so we had a very relaxed time! Thank you Ricardo!!{{ commentTranslate }} -

StephanieText automatically translatedWe booked with Ricardo for 3 days/2 nights. This was our first time sailing and spending the night on a boat. We were a family of 4 with 2 boys of age 10 & 6 and all slept well! We saw dolphins, the boys learned how to paddle on a SUP board, Ricardo also let them steer the boat and was great with them. We enjoyed various beautiful swimming spots and a wonderful restaurant recommended by Ricardo.{{ commentTranslate }} -

LaurenceText automatically translatedOur family had a beautiful trip around the islands with Richard. His knowledge of the local islands ensured that trip was really suited to our needs, with the youngster's and less confident and experienced sailors all having a great time. Looking forward returing to see more of wonderful Croatian islands with Richard.{{ commentTranslate }} -

PierrickText automatically translatedWe had a wonderful week on Ricardo's boat. The boat is quite spacious and very well equipped, the weather was fantastic. Most importantly, we couldn't expect a better skipper and a better host for our family (3 kids: 4, 8 and 10 years old). Ricardo did his best to accommodate us onboard and took us to some great places where we could explore the wonders of Croatia islands. Thanks again Ricardo!{{ commentTranslate }}
