We were actually given a different boat as the one we booked had to undergo some maintenance. Our boat had a few issues: most importantly the throttle was very stiff, making it near impossible to drive smoothly. I was also missing high resolution chart data, although that could well be down to my lack of experience with the device. I cannot fault the booking process, Jan was responsive and helpful. The check-in was a little less thorough than I would have liked, perhaps due to the limited experience and English of the otherwise friendly young man at the counter. More detailed information on refuelling would have been helpful, as we found out at the end of the day when 1. we first barely could find the petrol station (it was hiding behind a ferry), and 2. we were told by a touch too assertive staff member that we had not properly refuelled the boat due to its bobbing on the waves and he guesstimated the missing amount (perhaps entirely fairly and correctly) It would have been a better approach to give proper, detailed instructions at the start of the hire, especially after I had made it very clear that this was our first time renting a motorboat. Overall, it was still a nice day, but there is room for improvement in the service.
Very kind staff, shame about the broken shower and some control instruments. Overall everything was good for a fun day.
For something that was previously repaired, they took €60 from the advance. The glue broke, and they said I did this. Before driving, take a photo of the whole boat.
Water, radio an depth meter did not work
Make sure they take the time to provide the necessary explanation. In my case it was a student who explained it to me. He gave me insufficient explanation and sent me quickly on the water. I only had questions (including about the depth sounder and where I should definitely not go because it was too shallow), but he put my children on board and pushed me off. Fresh water shower didn't work. Depth sounder was not on and he did not know how it worked. So I was under the impression that depth wasn't going to be an immediate problem. After half an hour I was in too shallow water and unfortunately I damaged the propeller. After an hour moored and figuring out how the fresh water shower worked (which didn't work because there was no fresh water on board) we found out that the depth sounder did work and how it worked. I had damaged the propeller, so I did not get a refund. Which is indeed correct. I pointed out some responsibility to them because they do not give me sufficient explanation about certain workings. However, they did not want to take any responsibility. Fortunately, after fifteen minutes they agreed and refunded a small part of the deposit. In my view, it was done correctly. Lesson: make sure the depth gauge is on and that they take the time to give you the necessary explanation and test everything before you leave.
