Oceanis 46.1 - 4 cab. charter in Turkey (name: "Sail Delta")

“Serious lack of maintenance to the point of being dangerous for a family charter!”

Serious lack of maintenance to the point of being dangerous for a family charter! NO STERN LADDER! This was a serious issue for me and my family, especially for my 13yr and 10yr old children! Boarding the boat from the sundeck was almost impossible for me and a total no go for my wife and kids. I stopped my children from swimming for the first 3 days until a ladder had been added to the boat. I received some excuse about it being put on the wrong boat! Hopefully you can see from the pictures that the height of the sundeck over the water made it impossible to pull yourself up out of the water and I have no idea how I would have performed in a Man over Board situation with this serious safety issue! Paddle boards with no safety leg strap! NO KILL CORD on outboard! Just too dangerous for words! A zip tie had been used (which looked like a permanent feature) so I refused to use this for the first 3 days - I complained and a killcord was brought out to me along with some other repairs including the ladder). If I had fallen out of the tender there is a serious risk that the boat could go into a turn and I would received a propeller blade to the head over and over again! Broken Fridge Door - which would not close (unless you used a special technique) and therefore caused food to perish quickly. This was again a lack of maintenance and abuse! Generator and AC unit broken! the generator would run for 60 secs before the Exhaust over heated and then cut out...causing battery power issues as well as NO AIR CONDITIONING! The generator was finally fixed after day 4, so that the AC would run...however there was no AC in any cabin! I discovered the reason for this on the final day, the pipe that came off the AC Unit had been taped on and had pulled away due to a poor repair and lack of maintenance!
