Hi Keelhauled
We chartered from Sailing in Blue in 2018. I couldn't find any reviews on them then. I wouldn't recommend them if you have a choice. The yacht we chartered was 5 or 6 years old, but had been very poorly maintained. Several items failed during the week. The main one was the cable for one of he
steering wheels failed. We radioed them, and they could have sent someone by speedboat to
repair it on the
water, but they refused. They wanted us to return to base, which after 2 days sailing would have ruined our week - 2 days to return, the
repair time and another 2 days to get back to where we were. So we elected to continue with one
wheel. They told us with some delight that our
insurance was now invalid. We had another issue where we got
salt water in the
outboard (our fault). Instead of
charging us to flush the
engine (standard practice) they claimed we had to pay for a brand new
outboard to replace the 10 year old unit they gave us. We spent half a day arguing with them on our return and ended up paying an exhorbitant repair cost. They might be a bit cheaper, but I'd recommend paying a bit more for quality
service. I'd never use them again.
