It was the first time in many years we had rented a boat to sail the North Ionian. We have used Sam boats to book in the past but never used this rental company.
There were quite a few issues with the boat; the bow thruster was removed before we left the marina as it wasn't working, an electrician had to be called out as the instruments weren't working, there was only 1 water tank in operation, the windlass continually slipped and the anchor had to be manually pulled up if it was dropped in water deeper than 12 meters.
We had paid for an early check in, due to the problems that were found with the boat we didn't manage to get out of Gouvia until after 5pm. The company did refund the money we had paid for the early check-in.
Overall we had a good weeks sailing, the low review is down to the issues we had with the boat.
