点评:We chartered a 42' Bali sailing Catamaran as part of a 4 boat "flotilla" on a week long trip. Our crew has sailed many times together and we have lots of experience in chartering boats both in the Med and Caribbean. The Navigare base operation in Marsh Harbour is first-class, clearly the best run base we have experienced. The staff were super helpful (thanks Sandra!), efficient and professional. We got a very comprehensive 1 hour in-depth captains briefing about navigation challenges (shallow waters) and places to visit and anchor. At other charters, such a briefing either never occurred or was very cursory at best. All the staff were great, the fuel pumps staff ran their dock like a Formula 1 pit-stop getting 3 boats in and out in minutes. Much appreciated on a busy Friday afternoon. Our boat was in great shape and we noticed the staff hustling to resolve an issue with one of our other boats. (Boats frequently present issues, regardless of the care they get. Its to be expected given their operating environment).
The Abacos Islands are a must-see for any sailor. Great weather (at least our week!), clear water, aquatic wildlife and interesting things to see and do. A week was clearly not enough! Highly recommended sailing experience
翻译:我们租了一艘42英尺的巴厘岛帆船双体船,作为四艘船组成的“船队”的一员,进行了一次为期一周的航行。我们的船员多次一起航行,我们在地中海和加勒比海地区都有丰富的租船经验。位于马什港的Navigare基地运营一流,显然是我们体验过的管理最好的基地。工作人员非常乐于助人(谢谢Sandra!),高效且专业。我们接受了长达一小时的详尽船长讲解,内容涵盖了航行挑战(浅水区)以及值得游览和抛锚的地点。在其他租船公司,这样的讲解要么从未进行过,要么充其量只是非常粗略。所有工作人员都很棒,加油站的工作人员像F1赛车维修站一样高效地运营着码头,几分钟内就完成了三艘船的进出。在繁忙的周五下午,这真是太感谢了。我们的船状况良好,我们还注意到工作人员正在努力解决我们另一艘船的问题。(无论保养如何,船只经常会出现问题。考虑到它们的航行环境,这是意料之中的。)
阿巴科群岛是所有航海爱好者的必游之地。这里天气宜人(至少我们去的那一周是这样!),海水清澈,水生生物丰富,还有很多有趣的景点和活动。一周的时间显然远远不够!强烈推荐这次航海体验。
