NEYINA

The ship was in excellent condition, the skipper was competent and ensured that we really had very nice days on the Neyina. The chef was above average and one of the three best chefs I have experienced in three decades on a charter yacht. The deckhand/stewardess Indirah left nothing to be desired. So it was an all-round successful charter. Thanks again !

The client was enthusiastic about yacht and crew. He said nothing could have been better !

The charter was a very big success! Mr T. and his family loved being on board and say that Edouard was a really great captain. hey said that they felt they had been away for a month rather than just a week because they did and saw so much and yet had time to relax too. They loved the cruising area and said that Edouard took them to some truly beautiful locations. They also went to watch Sardinia Swan Cup on the penultimate day and got a spectacular view of the racing. With Edouard’s extensive racing/sailing background he was able to take them close up while still making sure they weren’t in the way of the racing yachts.

Feedback from the broker : "I have been in contact with my client Mr. XXX and he was full of praise for the crew on NEYINA. He likes the yacht very much and said it was a wonderful experience which they would like to repeat. So lets hope for next year."

Feedback from the broker : "The client praised that the yacht was kept very well and the crew was very good. The captain has his boat under control, is technically very talented and responded to client’s wishes. The food was the best they ever had and Simon, the third crew member was very dedicated and kept the children busy with wakeboarding etc. without being asked. Although they did not have a lot of wind almost all the time, they enjoyed the holiday very much and the crew contributed a lot to it. Boat and crew can be recommended in any case, which the client and ourselves will do."

Guest ‘s comment: Our overall experience was outstanding. Morgan met us at the Olbia airport with a sign with our name on it and had transportation for the short trip to the boat. We were greeted by Jose and Sylwia and given a briefing on the boat and we immediately left the dock for our first destination. Our typical day was after breakfast to Sail/Power to a destination to anchor for lunch to swim, paddleboard, or explore in the inflatable followed by a sail to our evening anchorage. Jose would discuss options at the beginning of each day based on the weather forecast. After the initial setup of the sails I had the opportunity to sail the boat as much as I wanted to with Jose tweaking the sails for optimal performance. The food was outstanding as Sylwia is an excellent Chef and wonderful host. Having the opportunity to fill out a preference list before the charter worked very well. We were never disappointed with any meal. Morgan was also very pleasant and worked very hard to make sure our excursions went well. The boat is also in excellent shape and I can see Jose takes great pride in making sure everything in perfect onboard. We look forward to another charter on Neyina either in the Western Med or Caribbean.

English translation of the guest's comment: So, it took us a few days, but we still remember our summer sailing holiday. As enthusiastic, though not overly passionate sailors, we thoroughly enjoyed the ten days on NEYINA. NEYINA is a practically new boat, all very clean and well-kept, modern, chic. We were welcomed by the captain at the dock, and spoiled from the first moment on! If someone likes to sail, NEYINA and her crew are the right boat. The captain's passion and enthusiasm and regatta experience is evident as soon as the wind permits. On the way back from Italy, we had gusts of thirty knots and had a lot of fun! The ship is happy to run at eight knots - and when there is a wind, at ten. NEYINA's rigging and sails are functional and very sporty, which makes sailors' hearts beat faster, just looking at them... In addition, Sylvia's menus and service on board were in no way inferior and our 'deckhand' had his hands full with a waterski/mono-wakeboarding-enthusiastic family! The tender is of course a real asset to the boat and allows you to go ashore and stay dry, even in medium seas. So - great trip, highly recommended! Original comment: so, nun hat es ein paar Tage gedauert, wir erinnern uns immer noch sehr gerne an unseren Sommer-Segelurlaub J Als begeisterte, wenn auch nicht übertrieben passionierte Segler haben wir die zehn Tage auf NEYINA sehr genossen: Praktisch neues Boot, alles sehr sauber und gepflegt, modern, schick Wir wurden freundlich am Gate des Hafens vom Kapitän in Empfang genommen und vom ersten Augenblick an nach Strich und Faden verwöhnt! Wenn jemand gerne segelt, ist NEYINA mit seiner Mannschaft das richtige Boot, dem Kapitän merkt man seine Begeisterung und seine Regatta-Erfahrung an, sobald der Wind es erlaubt, geht’s los und auf dem Rückweg von Italien wurde bei Böen über dreißig Knoten richtig gesegelt! Das Schiff läuft gut und gerne acht Knoten – wenn’s bläst auch zehn. Rigg und Segel und Segeleigenschaften der Neyina – funktional und sehr sportlich lässt Segler-Herzen höher schlagen, schon beim Anblick … Dabei stand Kombüse und Service dem in nichts nach und unser ‚Deckshand‘ hatte alle Hände voll zu tun mit einer Wasserski-/Mono-/Wakeboard-wütigen Familie! Der Tender (Williams 3,85 / 120 PS) ist natürlich ein echtes Asset zum Boot und erlaubt auch bei mittlerem Seegang ein halbwegs trockenes Anlanden. Also, great trip, uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!

Broker's comment: « Even more thanks for all your efforts and great work to you and the crew. The family was very, very happy! I will get a more detailed report next week ».

We had a wonderful trip and already have some ideas for 2018...

A thousand apologies for our slightly late comments regarding our holiday experience. Our stay aboard the NEYINA at B.V.I in April was the most enjoyable and most appreciated by our family. It is, to this day, one of the best "charters" we have made. José, Charlotte and Sylvia formed a very efficient and very friendly crew. They listened to us throughout the journey as much in terms of navigation as of service on board. The esprit de corps that animated them and their solicitude allowed us to spend our holiday on board in complete serenity. Our children of 14 and 11 years totally share our appreciation (despite some mutinies regarding WiFi), and they look forward to our next marine adventures. We deeply regretted leaving the boat and even my wife (who does not have good “sea legs”) wanted to re-embark after 24 hours. This is an excellent indicator of satisfaction for me! The boat was impeccably kept and we did not have a single practical or technical concern while on board. On behalf of all my family I would like to thank and congratulate the NEYINA team for their seriousness, attention and consideration. Original comment in French: "Mille excuses pour ce retour un peu tardif à propos de nos vacances. Notre séjour à bord du NEYINA aux B.V.I en avril a été des plus agréables et des plus appréciés par notre famille. Il est, à ce jour, l’un des meilleurs « charters » que nous ayons effectué. José, Charlotte et Sylvia ont formé un équipage très efficace et très aimable. Ils ont été à notre écoute tout le long du périple aussi bien en terme de navigation que de service à bord. L’esprit de corps qui les animait et leur sollicitude nous ont permis de passer des vacances à bord en toute sérénité. Nos enfants de 14 et 11 ans partagent totalement notre appréciation (malgré quelques mutineries au niveau du WiFi) et ils attendent avec impatience les prochaines aventures marines. Nous avons profondément regretté d’avoir quitté le navire et même mon épouse (qui n’est pas très « amarinée ») voulait rembarquer après 24 heures. C’est pour moi un excellent indicateur de satisfaction ! Le bateau était tenu de façon irréprochable et nous n’avons pas eu un seul souci pratique ou technique à bord. Au nom de toute ma famille je tiens à nouveau à remercier et à féliciter la fine équipe du NEYINA pour son sérieux, son attention et sa prévenance à notre égards. «

Sylwia cooks like a dream, the food was fresh, presented beautifully and portion sizes were just as wed asked for. Neyina was beautiful. The crew was fabulous and professional, everything was very smooth. Everything was just perfect and we all had a wonderful trip.

a glorious week of sailing on NEYINA. What a wonderful boat and amazing crew! This turned out to be an even better experience than we had expected.

We had in deed a wonderful time eventough we were forced to go most of the time under motor thus sailing came a bit short. The crew was excellent. Every single member. Thanks for all the help to you and the whole team.
