Customer reviews

How customer reviews and ratings work

We use the Average with Prior (also known as Bayesian Average) to calculate the total rating for each fleet operator/charter company.

Since new companies could have very few reviews, each review can significantly impact the average score, potentially leading to misleading representations of the total score (e.g., one very positive or very negative review skewing the overall rating). To mitigate this, we use a "prior" or "default" score.

This means that each company rating, by default, starts 4, which is calculated from 3 hypothetical reviews, each rated 4. This assumption provides a baseline level of performance that is neutral-to-positive.

For example, if a new company receives a 5-star review, the total rating will be adjusted to 4.25. Here's how it is calculated: (4 × 3) + 5 = 17 and then divided by the total number of reviews 4 (3 default + 1 actual review), resulting in 4.25

As more reviews come in, the weight of the actual reviews increases, and the influence of the prior diminishes.

“Recent Charter”

Recent Charter with Gais, Sicily: we had numerous problems with the boat. We listed 14 to the company. All of which were dismissed by the company as 'trivial' even though some were safety critical. The electronic issues were met with the response, "try turning it off and on again". Very poor service: they told us it was all our fault. Will never use Gais again. Zero stars if possible The boat was called NOTUS. It was a Dufour 38.1 and the charter ws from Palermo, Sicily 24th Sept to 1st October 2022. Problems included: Auto-pilot suddenly disengaging causing the boat to rapidly turn through 36deg, Fot stool became unrestrained causing wild movements in rough seas, Anchor undersized causing drag and - almost - loss of boat, Anchor warps barely usable due to fraying, Lazy jacks unusable to to incorrect rigging, plus many other inconveniences.
