Pontine as you've never seen Ponza palmarola Ventotene

The shipowner Andrea was immediately unavailable and rude to a first request for information. Despite this I booked as the period corresponded to my holidays and the price was lower than other similar cruises. The boat has problems with the sail again, maintenance in general such as the doors of the cabins that do not slide in the guides, really poor cleaning, small refrigerator, dirty and reduced cooling power. Skipper Roberto did his duty. During the navigation from Palmarola to Ponza the tender was lost at sea and was not replaced, forcing us to pay for a taxi boat service. Not recommended. ------ RESPONSE owner ------ Dear guys I am very sorry that the misfortune of losing the dinghy did not make you enjoy the holiday in full. The dinghy in question was not even a year old and despite having suffered damage due to negligence I did not request compensation, I immediately did my best to find one in Ponza to replace the lost one. I asked all the contacts and friends, even a well-known charterer in Ponza, but the week of August it is practically impossible to be satisfied. As for the cleaning we have a team of three people who clean and disinfect the boat and upon your arrival I welcomed you myself with the safety briefing, showing you the boat. It seems strange not to have immediately raised your disdain on cleaning also because I myself check the level of cleanliness of the same before embarking. On the other hand, the boat has returned very dirty: you have left on board 5 huge bags of garbage. Living in a few square meters for a week requires order and cleanliness on the part of all participants.

Roberto very good, kind and helpful, which does not apply to the owner (Andrea): dirty and poorly maintained boat, also after the loss of the tender we were not replaced. ----- RESPONSE ----- OWNER Dear guys I am very sorry that the misfortune of losing the dinghy did not make you enjoy the holiday in full.

Roberto is a kind and helpful skipper did everything to make us spend a pleasant holiday. But the boat of the owner (Andrea) is old and poorly maintained. Beyond that it is dirty and neglected it should be overhauled, the windlass still overheats it freezes and doors and portholes open and close with difficulty. In addition, unfortunately, on the second day we lost the tender (old and with glued handles) and Andrea was not at all available to find us a solution so we paid for sea taxis to be able to move. Andrea's attitude beyond the episode of the tender is not a polite and helpful person. Strongly discouraged. ------ RESPONSE Owner ----- Dear guys I am very sorry that the misfortune of losing the dinghy did not make you enjoy the holiday in full.

Andrea did not come with us but was replaced by two of his friends who knew nothing about Ponza. Very disappointing holiday and skipper. Waiting for response from sailsquare.
