点评:I have visited Kassiopi almost every year since 2000 and used these boats twice. Looking at recent reviews It is clear that the fuel rip off is still rife. The first time i hired a boat was about 20 years ago and i was charged 35 euros for the fuel I had apparently used. I have established that the outboard engines use between 1 and 3 litres per hour depending on hp rating. The “tank” is nothing more than a 25 litres container with no calibration marks and no fuel gauge. A full tank of diesel should last about 12 hours or more with nonstop use - clearly impossible! The second time they changed the method of fuel charge and €50 has to be paid in advance and in cash. I imagine there must have been people who argued about the charge so now you have to pay in advance - an easier way of ripping people off. I have calculated that in the 40+ years they have been operating they have taken over 1 million euros in excess profit (undeclared for tax purposes). It is about time the authorities investigated this illegal practice. A pity the owners are so greedy as the boats are good quality and easy to drive. Not again for me though!
翻译:自2000年以来,我几乎每年都去卡西奥皮,也租过两次船。看了最近的评论,很明显,燃油费的坑骗现象依然猖獗。我第一次租船大约是20年前,当时他们收了我35欧元的燃油费,说是我用的油。我查过,舷外机每小时的油耗在1到3升之间,具体取决于马力。所谓的“油箱”不过是一个25升的容器,既没有刻度也没有油表。一箱柴油应该能连续使用12个小时甚至更久——这显然是不可能的!第二次租船时,他们改变了燃油费的收取方式,要求预付50欧元现金。我猜想肯定有人对这笔费用提出异议,所以现在才改成预付——这不失为一种更方便的宰客手段吗?我估算过,他们经营的40多年里,已经非法获利超过100万欧元(而且没有申报纳税)。当局早就应该调查这种非法行为了。可惜船主们太贪婪了,因为这些船质量很好,也很好开。不过我以后再也不会买了!
