Boomerang - Yacht Charter Company | Fleet, Reviews & Booking

We chartered a Dufour 41 for a week and are very satisfied. The boat is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable—especially the forward cabin with its island bed. It sails well and is easy to handle thanks to its simple sail plan. Navigation and engine performance are top-notch. Minor drawbacks: The mattresses are noticeably sagging after just two years, and one toilet was leaking. The skipper briefing with Daniele was very valuable. He analyzed the current weather conditions and used them to create specific itinerary suggestions—we were in a Mistral situation and wanted to avoid the strong winds. Daniele spontaneously put together a southern route for us with great anchorages. This allowed us to set off relaxed into an unfamiliar area. When docking in the harbors, there was always someone on hand—which was very helpful given the narrow streets in Portisco and the crosswinds. Pickup and drop-off went smoothly with a checklist. Note for those who are particular: The list doesn’t match the boat 100%, and contrary to the description, there are no automatic life jackets on board, but rather solid-foam life jackets (though fully equipped with harnesses and lights). EPIRB, life raft, and lifelines are not available—those who value these should clarify this in advance. The restroom facilities at the marina are still temporary (containers, a bit dated)—but a new building is already nearing completion. Bottom line: Great yacht, excellent service; Daniele does his job with genuine passion. We’d love to come back! ⚓
