Midnight Sun Sailing

صيد السمك

Perfect sailing week. We sailed a boat in the Åland island. Very polite base manager and everything worked well.

Last year (in August) we booked a sailing boat here. Due to covid, it was not clear that we could show up, but we had a continuous discussion with the rental agency owner. We had also paid the deposition well in advance and according to contract.Three days before the boat rental began, we sent the last e-mail to the agency, but they did not respond. We then showed up on the day of the rental with the kids and bought food. Then they said that they had rented the boat to someone else, even though we had paid the deposition. They did not inform us about this in any way and offered to rent us a smaller boat. We declined the offer due to a too small boat and got a confirmation that we would get our deposition back while there.The day after we asked for the deposition back, they refused to give it to us and claimed they could keep it until the following season. We had to tell the agency that we would take up legal action before getting our deposition back. Then we did not even ask for anything extra. Their behaviour cost us not only our vacation (the kids were really disappointed), but we also had to find another solution the same day.I would not recommend anyone rent a boat from this rental service, especially not if you are from outside Finland and may not be fully aware of your legal rights.

Great boat and service for a long weekend around the archipelago.Thanks guys
