Ginette Guest Reviews
References
1) ´My client was over the moon with the charter. Captain and crew were fantastic, always ready to please and they worked their socks off to offer a memorable experience. My client is very experienced, especially on larger yacht with his parents and GINETTE left him stunned. Boat quality and finish was remarkable. I will not hesitate to recommend this boat and crew in the future.”
2) Crew: 5/5
This crew is top notch in every way. All of us felt our expectations were greatly exceeded, making for a great trip in everyone’s assessment.
How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, more features, general maintenance, etc): 5/5
The yacht was a real treat and a great surprise - luxurious, spacious, very comfortable, and fun to sail. Also kept incredibly clean and well maintained.
How would you qualify the food and drinks: 5/5
Really can’t say enough about Tania’s cooking skills and Hoani’s service. The food was a real hit and consistently of the highest quality. We ate every meal on board because we knew we could not find any better on any of the islands.
How would you qualify the entire experience of your trip?: 5/5
Amongst our four couples, universally considered one of the best vacations ever.
Client has also added a comment that he would be interested in chartering Ginette again next year.
