Oceanis 45

Considering that the Oceanis 45 is a great boat, I believe that in the case of our boat, the Senza Pensieri III, there were small details that do not do justice to the good boat it is. In our case, when we did the check-in, we saw that the battery, water, and fuel indicators were not working. When we mentioned it, they said it was broken and could not be repaired (that's how we set out to sail). The screens of the plotters both had a black spot, and when we mentioned it at check-in, it was the same, it couldn't be repaired. During sailing, the mechanism to lower and raise the swim platform broke, and the anchor windlass also failed. We had to wait for the technician who fixed it in one afternoon and one morning, and we had to go from Vulcano to Salina to repair it, having to modify our route and wait. By the way, the technician Tindaro was very good. The boat had dirty bottoms; this year it hasn't been given the patent. According to our cook crew member, the kitchenware is the most basic we've had in the 20 years we've been chartering boats. As for sailing, the boat sails well. It's those small details that make a great boat feel like a little boat. It has received little care. I say this as an owner of a sailboat. Other than that, the vacation has been great, good weather and little wind. Best regards.

The yacht was registered in March 2019, so it's brand new. Nautically excellent. Easy to handle and performs well against the wind. The new sails caught even the slightest breeze.
I wish everyone could have the same customer service that Antonia and Giovanni from the charter company provided us. None of our questions or requests went unanswered. Thanks to ongoing email correspondence, we had everything "sorted out" before leaving the country. One of our trip participants had to fly out earlier and could not use our crew's transfer to the airport. They quickly resolved that issue as well. I highly recommend it.
