A really excellent experience - Albert is amazing, great English, great owner - the boat was lovely and really well maintained- I would recommend this experience to everyone
Me and 3 friends rent Albert's boat for a sailing trip from El Balis to Minorque. We had a wonderful time on Pim-Pam, the boat is very performant, pleasant to helm and very well maintained. It has good equipment to support a long trip in autonomy. Some navigation tools consist in mobile phones and tablet, but they are connected to devices onboard allowing to get AIS data and sonar on navionics. The battery pack is impressive and allowed us the spend the entire week without any energy problem, charging phones and using autopilot and fridge all the time. As well as the water tanks. Anchor holds well and windlass is powerful which is very reassuring too, and very appreciated The boat itself is quite performant, going upwind with a very correct tack angle. In terms of sails, maybe the front sail is a bit small in comparison with the main. But with the wind condition we had (3-4 Bf) we reefed the main and the balance was good. In general it was a seamless and very pleasant experience to rent Albert's boat. He was very helpful starting from the check-in to the end, and gave us very valuable advises on where to go and what to do. El Balis marina is also super convenient, easy to reach by car. Clubhouse is very nice too... I definitely recommend.
Albert and his wife were very helpful to organize our turn in advance and to resolve an engine problem. The boat is well suited for persons who love to sail.

Desde que nací el mar siempre ha estado a mi lado, desde los clubs de playa, hasta las regatas de altura o los días de vacaciones en familia. He convertido mi afición en mi trabajo y estoy muy orgulloso de haber creado la empresa Sailing Nautic. Me encanta transmitir mis conocimientos a las personas que van a bordo conmigo y hacerles disfrutar la vida de mar. Mantengo los barcos en perfectas condiciones, tarea difícil y por ello le dedico gran parte de mi tiempo. Me gusta que los clientes estén satisfechos y ver como año tras año repiten con sailing nautic.
