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.

“Lagoon 40”

The captain was great. He was very knowledgeable with the area and boat handling. The Lagoon 40, Sophia, that we charted, had issues with the mainsail. We were not able to use it for the entire charter. The first time the captain tried to raise the sail, it would not go all the way to the top of the mast. We sailed with a very inefficient, baggy sail. The second time he attempted to use the mainsail, the two of the batten cars that slide along the mast track were so worn out they would not stay on the track. So out of our 7 day charter, we used the mainsail 1.5 days. It was disappointing. The $250 service pack they gave us was useless (three half used toilet paper rolls) until I went back to the office and asked for more.

“Steer well clear”

We chartered a Bavaria C45 from Kiriacoulis for 10 days in May 2022. It didn’t start well. There was no-one at the airport to pick us up, as arranged, and when we finally got ourselves to Alimos Marina there was nobody there to meet us. When we eventually found someone from Kiriacoulis we were let onto the boat and given a very rushed briefing. There was no boat inventory or any sort of boat handbook, the boat was dirty and the bedding provided was grubby and stained. Then it got worse. On our first day of sailing we were approaching a busy harbour entrance with strong winds and a high sea when the steering failed completely. The emergency tiller didn’t work, neither did the autopilot and we were being blown onto rocks. Amazingly, there was a Rescue boat close by and they managed to pull us away from the rocks and eventually recover us to the safety of a harbour. (It transpired that the Rescue boat had been called out to a MayDay an hour earlier but had failed to find the boat that placed the call). It is my firm opinion that without the rescue boat we would have ended up on the rocks with serious damage to the boat and the risk of injured crew. Once we were safely under tow, I spoke to the Base Manager, Nicos Vlachakis, to explain what had happened. He was not interested in our welfare but keen to blame us for the steering failure and accuse us of placing the MayDay call. For the next three days we waited at the boat for Engineers to come and fix the steering, with several promised visits not happening and no apology. I eventually texted Nicos for an update and finally got a call back – he was angry, wouldn’t let me speak and then put the phone down on me. Four days after the incident we were eventually able to resume our sailing holiday. At the end of charter we were summoned to the Base Manager’s office and told we had to hand over a 3,000 Euro Security Deposit “as a result of the incident”. We protested, but there seemed no alternative and we were assured that we could expect to get most of it returned to us, although it might take a couple of months. Five months on we are still waiting. I have been sailing boats in the Med for over 20 years. We had 3 qualified skippers on the boat this year but none of us have ever experienced problems like this – in particular the shocking way we were treated. From our perspective a poorly maintained boat led to a steering failure, a dangerous and frightening experience which we managed to resolve, then three lost days of sailing AND an additional charge of 3,000 Euro on our charter. Yet Kiriacoulis decided, without any evidence or due process, to blame it all on us. If you want a well maintained boat, fair treatment and good customer service I strongly recommend you steer well clear of Kiriacoulis.

“The charter was good”

The charter was good. There were a few problems noted with the boat when we picked it up particularly the inverter and I think this should have been fixed before we left. The base did come out to us to fix some other problems on the second day. Overall there service was good. The boat only had 2 mooring lines and no other ropes which was limiting. As a charter boat I think the Cat 37 is a little small and because it is very light it is only suitable in light winds, we were caught out with the Mistral wind which was force 7 and the boat had about 20 degree of leeway which made making any progress very difficult. It was also very difficult to control in the marina with force 5 winds.
