Despite the overall beautiful and eventful trip, we will definitely not sail with Iris Yachtcharter again. The introduction on Saturday was chaotic: the understaffed team didn't manage to prepare the boats in time and the overworked guide obviously didn't know the boat himself. Instead of leaving at 4 p.m. as planned, we were only able to set off at 8:30 p.m. because, among other things, the power supply on board was not working. Our skipper discovered that the heating element had calcified, which meant that no hot water was available, which could not be rectified on Saturday evening. According to our agent Silke, the HYGGE catamaran was designed for 10 people, but realistically only offered space for 6 people plus the skipper's cabin. The supposed "single beds" were tiny areas in the bow that were hardly suitable for sleeping. The kitchen equipment was a complete disappointment: basic utensils were missing, the oven didn't work properly and the equipment was generally inadequate. The bathrooms were dirty when we took over, one toilet was blocked and the shower drain did not work. Cleaning products were also not available. Some of the navigation instruments were defective and the general condition of the boat did not match the description as "as good as new". The first aid kit was inadequately stocked and many products had expired since 2017 - an absolute no-go in 2024. With only five sailing days, as we had to be back in port by 6 p.m. on Friday, the price-performance ratio was not right at all. Conclusion: The sailing was wonderful, but the numerous shortcomings and the poor service from Iris Yachtcharter spoiled the experience considerably. We strongly recommend choosing another provider to enjoy a carefree cruise.
