boat hire in Piombino · Hanse — 370 (2008)

Excellent charter, very helpful and courteous staff. The boat has some defects but it is excellent, very simple to manage with an inexperienced crew.

The staff was always helpful and courteous. Unfortunately the boat had dirty dishes, the portholes did not close properly and only with great pressure did the jib fly out on the pen with a consequent collapse of the stall. All the slides were extremely hard due to the saltiness. The seat in the dinette was arranged at the last moment with a cushion found and the rest was not comfortable

Although I confirm the availability and professionalism of the Salivolivela - Pianeta Mare staff, I unfortunately have to leave a negative comment on the Hanse 370 - Sventola boat. Despite being a good boat, the state it is in has not been in line with expectations. The general cleanliness left something to be desired, after two days the water intake of the shower was blocked. Upon indication of the Pianeta Mare staff, I proceeded to clean the filter but unfortunately the problem was a blockage of the pipe with residues of all kinds, certainly accumulated over time, which I managed to free after a lot of work. Obviously then the suction worked much better than on the day of embarkation. All the taps have no flow breaker and are partially rusty. The central table in the cockpit has been replaced by a camping table which is obviously awkward to manage. There are no indications on the relative function on the stoppers and obviously, not knowing the boat, it takes a little practice on the first sails but, above all, there is the risk of causing damage. In the lockers, while spacious, part of the precious volume is taken up by a double water pipe and double electric cable. These are necessary because at the port of Salivoli the boat does not have a real mooring and is moored in the English style at a distance from the columns. Obviously double hose and double cable are not needed during the charter when stopping in port. Last but not least, the float that marks the fuel level in the tank was broken, creating considerable inconvenience in evaluating consumption. It is true that the good "navigator" must take into account the hours of navigation and the hourly consumption of the boat (in this case declared 3 litres/hour), but certainly on a chartered boat, on which one has no experience , sometimes doubts come. In short, I would like to summarize everything with "neglect". Thank you
