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.

Masha / Dufour 41

May 2026

“Boomerang Charter Portisco – highly recommended!”

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! ⚓
