Christmas on a Catamaran in Phuket in Thailand - LAST PLACE FOR WOMEN

We where 11 on a boat for 10, it was ok as i like to sleep outside (didnt have so to share the bed with another guy, i was not informed of that). Susbcribing this Cruise, i expected ... to sail. Sadly we motored during 3 days (2 hours genoa with engines). At this moment we had burned half the gas-tank. the weather was sail-possible (you can check on windy), disapointing to see the waves running with boat ... ???? Finaly à left the boat the 4th Day, to change my plans. I subscribed by sailsquare, not on motorsquare. Olivier,

Myself and one other left the boat early. I’m a skipper too; before joining I asked Enrico if he planned to sail or just motor. I would like to sail. He said he would sail. He did not sail once during the four days I was on board. He never got the main sail out. Only the genoa for an hour while motoring - badly trimmed. There was wind. My cabin was the size of a coffin. It was mouldy, had no a/c, and no power socket. It was a storage locker that had a shelf with a mattress installed. I paid the same as guests who had proper cabins. Enrico did not speak enough English to communicate. We were woken at 6am just to motor at 8.5 knots to moorings with murky where no one wanted to swim. Once we arrived at a nice beach, paid to enter but only had 1hr before it closed. Lack of planning. I was told I could pay less towards food as I am vegan. The others bought meat and dairy. When I arrived I was shouted at by everyone insisting I pay equally. I refused and paid less, but still paid too much.

When you have a Bolognese on the boat you have everything. Oli is a fantastic person with immense sympathy that makes you feel immediately at home. Wonderful skipper . Rating 100

I state that the review is for the holiday in the Seychelles 21/28 April 2018... that said... Enrico said Oli.... wonderful person, simple, humble and super prepared, an incredible experience for sea, a skipper always attentive and with the solution ready "in case of".... A friend with whom to sail the sea and spend evenings on land is always a pleasure... ask him where is Antares and Arturo or the Southern Cross... and it will open up a starry world to you....

Oli is a gift that the land has given to the sea! A Nordic warrior with a fearsome appearance, with a big heart and an overwhelming sympathy; old sea wolf going boating with him is an honor that they should not grant to everyone!
