Sail you say, Sailchecker I say!
We like to have sailing vacations in the summer. Our first experience with Sailchecker was 2 years ago when we decided to sail in the archipelago of Stockholm. We were getting answer to every question we had and everything went very smoothly.
This year we wanted to sail in Marmaris Bozburun peninsula of Turkey. Thanks to their very good CRM system, they remembered what type of boats we go for and provided very relevant options within hours. They understand the needs of their guests and always answer in detail.
We had only one misleading information, and it was a bit of a problem at first, however, we found a way to work it out for our group at the end. The issue was about the time of check-out and delivering the boat back to the marina. We were told that we could bring the boat by 20:00 on Friday and leave the boat at 08:00 on Saturday. However, when we checked in, the local company was inviting that the agreement was to bring the boat by 16:00 on Friday and stay until 08:00 on Saturday. This was cutting a whole day from our sail time. The local agency said this must be clearly marked on our boarding pass, however, we did not receive a boarding pass. When we raised the issue to Sailchecker, they said the boarding pass was sent on 17th June. However we did not receive any boarding pass. At the end we changed our departure flight to Friday night, which gave us a break in Istanbul for a day. It was good. But I would be really annoyed if we couldn't change our tickets and end up coming back to Marmaris Marina to do nothing after 16:00 on a Friday. What we are promised via email should be sealed in the boarding pass and we should actually receive the boarding pass. Anyway, this would not stop us from trusting Sailchecker in the future. I am sure they would pay more attention into this detail on our next trip planning. I right about this issue to help both sailors and Sailchecker that, this is an area to improve :)
Next year we will first check with Sailchecker to evaluate our options in the destinations we plan to travel. I hope they will have what we need. It's good to have a reliable travel company!

Dear Pelin,
It's so very thoughtful of you to leave us some positive words and a great tag line! "Sail you say, Sailchecker I say!" ~ we love it!
We have to admit it's so very rare we get compliments about our CRM, yet we invest so much time and energy into it, it was strangely thrilling to get some positive feedback!
We have investigated the return time of the boat, it comes as a natural disappointment to us. Return times are typically 1600 to give the base the smallest working window to plan the following day's maintenance: order spares, and so on. We now understand that it was difficult to read our boarding passes on the iPhone. As a result we have informed our developers to create a one which adapts to different screen sizes - thank you for your understanding and great feedback.
We are delighted to have the privilege of helping you again on your next trip.
Yours in sailing,

Great service!
The team from Sailchecker has been extremely responsive and helpful throughout. We can highly recommend them. However, be careful to read the fine print if you haven't booked a boat before. The boats are equipped with the basics only. Our boat did not have any cushions for the cockpit. We initially booked a boat located too far north in Croatia although we mentioned sailing in the Split area. Sailchecker immediately rectified it.

Dear Karin,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a positive review and some feedback that we think is very thoughtful. We try and learn from every piece of feedback given, we think. As a result we have changed our client care letters to highlight importance of checking inventories, items you night have expected in the past, may not now be available.
With some sadness, the market has become increasingly price driven, we love our role as agents helping customers understand what might be different on a more expensive yacht. In recent times we have seen cockpit cushions , snorkels, and the like being removed from inventories of many fleets as they seek to compete on price.
We are delighted that we found the right location in the end and had a great time.
We look forward even more to helping you out again.

The rough and the smooth
Its easy to measure how good a company is when things go well. For me the true measure is when things go wrong.
I have booked with Sailchecker in the past and everything was excellent.
I recently booked again and was delighted to be offered a hybrid motorboat. Unfortunately it turned out not to be a Hybrid, this was an error in the advertising and Sailchecker were not responsible.
Kate was excellent in organising a successful solution. Professional and personable throughout.
In my opinion a really good company and I am happy booking with them.

Fantastic service and holiday........
From start to finish this was a very easy and professional process. Everything was put in place before our departure and communications were swift and straightforward. The airport transfer was waiting for us as promised and we collected our yacht in Marina Kastela, Croatia for a totally trouble free week. Collecting the yacht in the marina was very easy. Sadly the weather confined us to the marina for the first 24 hours but that gave us plenty of time to get provisions from the nearby supermarkets and visit Trogir. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be coming back.

Best experience and trustworthy company.
I contacted Sailchecker with no previous experience boating. Kate held my hand through the entire process, and responded to my endless stream of emails answering all my questions. She set us up on an amazing catamaran, the crew was wonderful. The entire process was simple and everything was as she said it would be. It was a very simple process and my family and I are extremely satisfied. I've already talked to her about booking another boat for next summer. I highly recommend Sailchecker! Thanks Kate!

The best way to charter a yacht!
I used Sailcheckers for the second time this year and they are just a wonderful company to work with. There was an issue with my booking, as the yacht, we originally chose wasn't available. (absolutely no fault of Sailcheckers or the Charter company) and that's when you really realize how well a company like Sailcheckers supports you. They were just brilliant to make sure that our holiday could go ahead unhindered. One small suggestion is that they recently stopped using their online dashboard system where you have real-time access to all your booking and payment information which is a shame as I really liked that but besides that: super service

Dear Double Dutch,
Thank for taking some time to review your trip and give us some feedback. Yachts don't go offline very often, yet due to the nature of sailing, it's something that simply can't be guaranteed. As your agent, when it does happen, we do everything in our power to find a solution, and we are so pleased that we were able to on this occasion.
We completely accept your comment about the real time dashboard, it's a feature we plan to bring back real soon.
We look forward to helping you out again really soon.

Outstanding.
So far, while organizing our next sailing holiday, I have from this company more than one can expect . All questions I might have are answered promptly and friendly. It is true, that these people support you in organizing your vacations, rather than just offer a boat reservation. Sailchecker is fourth sailboat charter company I use, and I guess I never change to another one if things go the same way in the future.

We highly recommend SailChecker - BVI Sailing
We've just returned from an amazing sailing holiday in the BVI - we were a group of 8 friends and SailChecker helped us with organising an AMAZING catamaran charter from Tortola.
The boat was fantastic, a 2019 Lagoon 40, our skipper was also very knowledgeable, and he made sure that we have an unforgettable experience.
We highly recommend SailChecker to everyone that wants to charter a boat in the BVI.
We're now booking a trip in Croatia, and are already excited.
Thank you once again!

Even the horrific destructions we witnessed in 2017 can prevent this region from being one of the world's most sought after sailing destinations.

I told them no thank you. simply put use this service . you can not go wrong

It's not often we correct anyone in a reply!! Please forgive us, having served you twice and personally spoken with you on the telephone on more than one occasion, I can only say you have been a pleasure to deal with. We commit to the idea that there is no such thing as a silly or awkward question in this market, every query is an opportunity to meet, manage or, if we can, exceed expectations - so we say:
"Bring on the difficult questions!"
We do thank you for your kind praise, we operate a strict price guarantee here, that said, we rarely find ourselves needing to invoke it. Price wars actually don't assist the market or the customer in the long run, yet honest transparent pricing always will.
We feel sure that this will not be the last sailing memories we help you create.

Sailchecker Guided the Process
Sailchecker helped find a boat at a competitive cost for a bare boat charter through Spanish Virgin Islands, and then confirmed equipment (i.e., dinghy, motor, navigation gear, galley, grill ...) and final details for the charter. We were welcomed on arrival, boat was in perfect condition, briefing was on time and of high quality to put the final details on the islands of interest to be visited, and there were no surprises with the final billing.
I would use the Sailchecker again.

You chose a great location - the Spanish Virgin Islands (for the benefit of others reading this review) are accessible from the British and US Virgin Islands, but more often Puerto Rico) - they offer something more remote and secluded that the more popular destinations,
