A lot. The boat was in an unacceptable condition, and the safety of both crew and boat was at risk. And I'm not talking about minor things like dirt, broken or missing gas struts, etc. The engine was loose; two of the four mounting bolts were missing. We were suspicious of strange noises when accelerating during the first turn and discovered the problem. The charter company didn't respond; only after massive pressure and sending videos did they respond. In any case, we found the bolts neatly placed upstairs in the engine compartment. Since the engine block had already shifted, we had to build a pulley system with ropes and align the engine. Then we could insert the bolts. Since the two remaining bolts were already loose, we were on the verge of the engine completely coming loose, slipping, the propeller breaking off, and taking on water in the boat. The problems we reported upon taking delivery, such as a defective autopilot, a broken portside navigation light, and missing fenders, were ignored, and the promised mechanics are apparently still looking for the boat today. Communication with the charter company was a disaster...

The sailing area between Sardinia and Corsica is very beautiful, varied, and there was plenty of wind. There are truly beautiful bays that are perfect for swimming.
The yacht Pixie was clean and OK, but had some technical defects. Poorly maintained, or, at the beginning of September, late in the season and already somewhat worn out. The autopilot was defective. The mainsail bag had torn, and there were engine failures due to a clogged filter. The charter company sometimes overdoes it with parallel information in the form of text messages, emails, and WhatsApp messages. You are tracked by GPS and are not allowed to enter certain areas. Violations carry a €200 fine.

The grill outside on the swimming platform was very nice. The boat was clean and nice, 2 good towels per passenger were included. Good communication with the charter company
The autopilot didn't work, but they gave us compensation which was ok.

The sailing area and marina
Communication between Boataround and the charter company was very poor. Crew list, certificates of competency, etc. had to be entered and uploaded several times. According to the charter company, no data other than the reservation was forwarded by Boataround. The contract terms of the charter company are extremely restrictive and compliance is constantly requested by SMS or email. Obviously, the route is closely monitored. Sardinia is a great sailing area, but for me in the future without Boataround and Yachting in Sardinia.

Communication between Boataround and the charter company was very poor. Crew list, certificates of competency, etc. had to be entered and uploaded several times. According to the charter company, no data other than the reservation was forwarded by Boataround. The contract terms of the charter company are extremely restrictive and compliance is constantly requested by SMS or email. Obviously, the route is closely monitored. Sardinia is a great sailing area, but for me in the future without Boataround and Yachting in Sardinia.
