BAREBOAT CHARTER REVIEW
Name: Mr. Rob Johnston
Yacht: Jeanneau 37 "Sea Venture" with TMM Yacht Charters - Road Town, Tortola
Charter Dates: 10/9/10 - 10/17/10
Broker: Joann Higgins
Area Cruised: Virgin Islands
We hope your charter lived up to your expectations and we are eager to have your evaluation and impressions of your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Were the staff at TMM Tortola friendly and accommodating?
Yes
2. Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yes
3. Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes
4. Was the boat well ventilated?
Not much air circulates thru the main cabin. It only has one window.
5. Did the staff at TMM Tortola do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and it's equipment?
Yes. TMM demanded a "test sail" for that, but easily could have been done at the dock.
6. Did you like the area you cruised?
Yes. Wish someone would have advised that "low season" means "everything is closed" 4 anchorages we sailed in had absolutely NO services, nothing open.
7. Could we at Virgin Island Sailing, Ltd. have helped you further in any way?
Aside from pre-knowledge of points 5 and 6 above, no. Everyone was very helpful and accomidating, and responses were fast. Thanks!
8. May we post this review on our website?
Yes
9. Additional comments on your charter?
Boat was great. Clean. Sailed well. Everything worked. Islands and anchorages were also great. TMM staff was very helpful and accommodating.
Two minor points. 1) "briefing" time was heavily weighted to "safety" briefing (which could have been done in less time). Shorter safety brief would have allowed more time for "chart" briefing, which for a first time charter in BVI would have been much more valuable, and something more than "here's our recommended plan." 2) The "boat book" included great details on national parks moorings and locations of paid overnight moorings. For planning purposes, it would have been great planning help (augmenting the cruising guide) to get copies of these four pages included with the paperwork package that TMM sends in advance of the charter.
