boat hire in Stockholm · Bavaria — 38 Cruiser (2005)

Our charter could not have gone better. Patrik is a conscientious owner who maintains Waverunner to excellent standards, and the boat was the perfect one for us for our family cruise. He was also quite helpful with our many questions about sailing the archipelago and Baltic mooring. It was a wonderful holiday for us, made perfect by the right boat with a great owner.

Patrick takes very well care of his boat. Although she is 20 years old, everything onboard is in perfect working order. The engine is shiny and clean, recent, high grade GPS plotter, forward looking echosound, all necessary items available plus lots of extra's that you would also gather over the years. It's al here. Absolutely recommendable!

We had an excellent time chattering with Patrik. The boat is very nice and has everything you need for a nice time in the archipelago! We really appreciated Patrik’s responsiveness and recommendations on where to go also.

The boat is maintained and equipped to a high standard. Apart from personal items and clothes, you don't need to take anything else. During cruises, the boat behaves perfectly and sailing is a joy. Before our cruise, Patrik connected a new plotter with Navionics. If not for the events described below, I would recommend Patrik and his boat to my friends. Check-in took a long time. The boat was not ready at the time and Patrik informed us about the damage that he should repair. The repair took the whole next day, sometimes with the help of our crew. Although Patrik is careful and everything on the boat worked well, he may not be able to do the more extensive repairs himself. As an apology, Patrik lent us Code 0 in addition to standard sails. Inconveniences continued on check-out. After checking with the underwater robot, he accused us of a big damaging the keel. Such a thing could not happen without the knowledge of the crew. Ours is experienced enough that she can say with certainty that she has not experienced any contact even during anchoring, let alone a high-intensity impact. At the moment, the matter is still not solved. The condition of the ship was not documented during check-in in the same way as it was during check-out and we have no further information on the alleged damage.

The Waverunner is in very good condition and well maintained. Patrik and Andreas are very nice and it was a pleasure to sail in this great archipelago. Thanks a lot. We will come back.

Patrik was a very professional owner. The yacht was clean minus some minor issues and had everything required for exploring the Archipelago including a BBQ and front facing sonar. I've chartered over 20 yachts in the med and Carribbean, this is not to the same standard as a charter yacht from croatia/greece but taking into account the boat is 17 years old and had some damages it is in good condition for it's age. Nothing that detracted from our experience. Some communication regarding cleaning could have been better but I put that down to the inevitable english/swedish translation. i recommend confirming requirements before leaving the dock. Overall we had a great trip and the yacht performed well.
