Oceanis 40 (2007)

Almost perfect, apart from the boat's toilets

- noté le 02 octobre 2017

We rented this 10-year old Oceanis 40 to go and explore the Eolian islands, departing from Portorosa. We were altogether very impressed by the level of the renter's service (procedures for checking in and out, very helpful and friendly staff ...). The marina is also very convenient if you plan to le... Voir plusave a rental car there for a week because it is completely enclosed ans secured. You should not, however, plan to spend any time there more than absolutely necessary, especially if you do not have a car.
We found that the boat was altogether very well maintained (sails, rig, motor, kitchen, cabins ...) apart from the toilets ... :-( Both hand-pumps were tired and only just functional, but the worst was that we found out after a couple of days that the evacuation of the black waters tank (in other words the tank full of the excrements of the previous occupants ...) was blocked, and was only emptying through the tank's overflow, resulting in really unpleasant smells. This was a real shame because it did affect the quality of our holidays, and the otherwise very good impression that we had of that rental agent.
