点评:This was meant to be our last full day in Sardinia and we were really looking forward to it. They canceled on us the afternoon before, saying the weather was going to be bad.
I do some watersports, so I know how to read a marine weather forecast. The forecast for next day was fine, across multiple sources. I also asked boat people at the marina, who confirmed that the next day was going to be 'eccellente'. I sent him a forecast by text, and asked what I was missing, but he just got angry.
In the end we booked our own self-drive boat, and all the other boat charters were also out there on the Gulf of Orosei with us. While there was, at some times, a very mild chop, with my limited experience I found several protected places to anchor, and we had a really lovely day; I'm sure an experienced skipper would have done even better! See the pic as an example.
No idea why they canceled on us - but the weather certainly wasn't it. They offered us to go the day after instead (not an option for us); but the weather forecast for that following day was far worse than the originally planned day.
A last minute cancellation genuinely because of bad weather I would fully support; but a last minute cancel for no discernible reason is really unfair on the customer.

我平时会进行一些水上运动,所以懂得如何解读海洋天气预报。多个预报源显示第二天的天气都挺不错。我还询问了码头上的船只经营者,他们也确认次日天气会‘极佳’。我通过短信把预报内容发给他们,想问问自己是否遗漏了什么信息,结果他们却生气了。最后我们自己预订了一艘可自驾的游船,实际上当时还有许多其他包船也在奥罗塞伊湾上。虽然偶尔会有些许波浪,但以我有限的驾船经验来说,还是找到了几个适合抛锚的避风处。那天我们过得非常愉快;我相信要是换成经验丰富的船长来驾船,一定会更出色!附上照片作为示例。
我不知道他们为何取消了预订——但天气绝对不是原因。他们提议我们改在第二天去(但这对我们来说不可行);不过第二天的天气预报比原定日期还要糟糕。
如果是因为天气恶劣才临时取消,我完全能够理解并支持;但毫无明显理由的就临时取消,对顾客来说实在不公平。
