I want to thank all of you on behalf of my family and myself for making my charter a truly wonderful experience. The boat was a blast and sailed great. I can only speak praises of the way were treated and will proceed to recommend to all my sailing friends to charter from you when in the Chesapeake area. Hopefully next year I can go for a week on a 45 or even the 54.
Thank You, Fernando G. USA |

We chartered a Seawind 1160 "Gypsy Rose" from QYC in July and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The friendliness and professionalism of QYC is evident from the first email contact until returning the boat at the end of the charter. Gypsy Rose was perfect for 3 couples for a week of sailing, snorkelling and sightseeing, and the sunsets when on the water are second to none!! I would have no hesitation in recommending both chartering and QYC for anyone looking to spend time in the Whitsundays. A little bit of knowledge on boat handling is required but it's not daunting to anyone who is keen to learn & have some fun at the same time.

Just wanted to say thank you for everything. The boat preparation was excellent. Your answer to our first time charter questions were clear. Your humor was spot-on. The advice, care, and tolerance of our questions (and requests) was over the top. Thank you for making us feel welcomed and explaining away our concerns.

I just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed our holiday in Tahiti. A welcome break from the winter in New Zealand (it snowed 30cm at sea level while we were away) and relaxing to be away from the Christchurch earthquakes and our broken homes.
The Catana 47 was amazing - highly specified, in beautiful condition (as a new boat), plus heaps of room and functionality for the 7 of us. In particular though we valued the relationship with yourself and also Marco. You run the operation with a rare blend of familiarity and professionalism. The pre-departure advice for our itinerary was spot on as was your help along the way - especially sorting out day-accommodation in Raiatea and Bora Bora for us.
Thanks again. Please say hi to Marco and Tina.

We would sincerely like to thank you for acknowledging the problems we encountered on the Don Gato. We didn't expect to be compensated for this but really appreciate that you felt it was necessary. John particularly appreciated the phone call yesterday from Christophe, the owner of the company and boat. As mentioned in our debriefing and our follow up feedback email we were extremely happy with the service provided by your company and felt that everything was handled very professionally. It is clearly something you pride yourselves on and have worked extremely hard to achieve. We really did have a lovely family holiday and would certainly consider a similar trip in the future. We were impressed with your company and would not hesitate to use your services again.
Once again thankyou,

Thank you. We had an exceptional time on Gypsy Rose. The first 3 days were very calm with no wind so it gave us time to get to know the yacht, then the next 3 days the wind built nicely and we got a great couple of sails in. Max speed was 7.8 knots!!! I thought that was good with the small canvas on a charter yacht J (We were happy anyway). There were no certificates or VIP cards provided when we left, they would be appreciated. I will definitely get onto the feedback this week - couldn't be happier with the boat or your company's service and standards. Everything was accomplished with a smile and enthusiasm, even knowing we were a novice crew. I will have no hesitation in recommending QYC to all who ask!
Thanks for a memorable week & I'll definitely be back!!

We had a wonderful time and can't thank you enough for your help in securing a charter last minute! I can't tell you how impressed my girlfriend and I were with your staff's willingness to take our phone calls, helpfulness, and overall professionalism. Bill and Chris were extremely helpful and made our charter enjoyable and seamless. Their service was truly four star and made it so all we had to do was sail and enjoy our trip. With that said we were thinking of taking advantage of the discount that you offer for rebooking within two weeks and would like to discuss options with you. We were thinking about a three or four day charter over the weekend of July 15 - 17. Thank you for your help and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

What can I say?. Our third trip on this boat and with the help and assistance of a great crew at QYC we are continually amazed at the location and the ease our boat Dimanche gets us around. Little things like a valet parking arrangement that QYC arranged for my car meant we could enjoy our holiday and relax from the moment we stepped on board Dimanche. Makes you wonder why people go overseas even with the $ equal to the US?? I go friends from WA to come over and experience this boat and the Whitsundays and they were blown away as well. Had some trouble with the radio this time but QYC arranged a hand held unit and all was good. Biggest problem we had was running out of champagne for the ladies so stock up well when you go!! All the best QYC and keep the good work up, many thanks for another great holiday!!

10 Sundays in a row is the best way to describe our latest charter experience with QYC. We have been chartering with QYC for the past 11 years and still organise our next charter before finishing our current one. We enjoy the ease of dealing with the staff at QYC from initial contact confirming availability right through to the final salute before leaving the marina upon completion of our charter. We have chartered the same vessel for the past three years and are amazed by the upkeep and quality of this vessel, it is also a credit to QYC that they have made changes to the vessel that is reflective of discussions had during debrief on previous charters to make our experience and others just that bit more enjoyable with a fully serviceable and reliable cruiser. With some 300plus hours travelled throughout the Whitsundays we are amazed each year to find a new beach, cove or anchorage its just such a awesome place to share with friends whilst still having an adventure. Each time, QYC operational staffs are exceptional in there briefing with all aspects of operation and safety covered in entirety. The boat is always presented in exceptional condition inside and out. Once again with QYC we have shared a fantastic holiday in the beautiful Whitsundays with great friends and a great company.

Overall, had a very good experience. QYC staff was exceptionally good and thorough in all communications, help with the trip organisation and briefing before the charter. We were pleasantly surprised with how clean and overall in a good condition the boat was, especially considering that it is a part of the charter fleet for quite a few years. All equipment on the boat worked perfectly, bed linen was clean and of good quality. It is a pity QYC couldn't do much about the weather (a few windy and rainy days), but, in the end, it did not spoil the great adventure.
Already planning to do it again some time in a drier season!

Great service, everything went well. Excellent weather for all 8 days! Good wind for first and last days sailing. All crew now hooked on sailing (fishing and snorkelling). Boat was perfect for (practically) first timer crew. Only issue we had was couldn't get any of the 4 IPods to play on the CD/DVD/USB/AUX player (didn't have the aux cable), but I can see an upside to that.

Service - excellent. Area briefing - excellent. Presentation of the boat was excellent. Would particularly like to mention Kristin who set this all up 6 months earlier with no dramas and all also all QYC staff during our charter! Just keep up your excellent professional and friendly customer service. That is the "secret" what a couple of other charter companies did not seem to have! Thank you for the excellent charter! .

All went went very well the yacht was 39ft in excellent condition also got it ealier on the Saturday than expected which added an extra day to my holiday. The skipper was high calibre and very expeirienced in racing and I learned so much from him that has enhanced my sailing skills. The service from the charter company was excellent as well could not have been better. We sailed every day the first and the last day were the best with good strong winds this time of year the weather is a perfect and so is the temperature. All in all it went very well and I will definetley book again as sson as I can get time off.

It was a wonderful holiday in a unique region, we were all very excited and it has been a lot of fun to sail through the Seychelles. High praise again to you and your crew for the excellent service, I have in 20 Years of sailing but seldom seen so well. We are determined once again come to the Seychelles (then with the NW-wind) to see the rest.

All were super!!! From the initial contacts back in Feb-Mar to plan our trip to your personal & cordial approach with me and our crew at the time of our trip, your service was outstanding. The boat was the most comfortable and well-equipped I've chartered in my 25-years of bareboat chartering. This all equals a super Memorial Day weekend charter with our family and friends. THANK YOU....and well done!!
I hope to be on Cat Away again maybe late this season but more likely the weekend BEFORE next Memorial Day weekend and maybe a 4-days charter. I'll be in touch. Please do likewise.
Thank you again for a great vacation.

Thank you for sending the final invoice through. We are having a very nice chill axing time on Hamo although we can't keep our eyes off all those boats sailing past us and wishing we were on them! The sea legs are going to take a while to get rid of but to be honest it keeps the memory alive so we are not complaining at all... We would like to say a special thank you to QYC for providing us with the experience of a lifetime which resulted in our perfect honeymoon. Over our 14 day charter we interacted with many of the QYC team and found every single staff member to be extremely professional, positive, friendly, supportive and also made us feel like part of the family while we were in their care. We could not have wished for a more enjoyable and memorable experience and cant wait to be back for more. P.S. We will be recommending QYC to everyone we know so you may want to increase the fleet size All the best and kind regards - see you soon!

We had a terrific week on the Lagoon 440. Thankfully the boat was equipped with AC in the end. She may not be fast but she is a good sea boat and easy for one knowledgeable person to sail safely. Yan of Dream Yacht Charters did a great job and we shall be recommending both your services and his to anyone that asks. Bobby's provisioning was also very good. Thank you.

Thank you.
Last few days of flying before we go back to the cold in Newcastle! Could you please pass on to all concerned, that in over 20 similar trips we've had, this was one of the best to date. This was largely because of your and Kellie's organisation, the quality of the boats we were offered and the friendly staff on deck. I trust there were no concerns with our charter. Should you have us back, we'd be pleased to hire 3-6 vessels every 6 months, firm details to come.

Just a big thankyou to all for the tremendous holiday you all helped to provide Veronica and I and family. From our correspondence with Kristen and other office staff, the boat and area briefings and shakedown trip with Jeff, the day to day radio skeds and chats, and even the returning back to port was all made so simple and easy and it was a real pleasure to do business with such a happy and friendly company. The boat was prepared brilliantly, and we could not fault one thing with it the whole time we were away. Also the knowledge of the area you passed on all helped to make it a great few days with you all. We will certainly be back next year and wish you all a great remaining 2010 and a better 2011. Kind regards to you all.

Thank you so much for the very kind chartering of Colette. It was great to be able to sail in the 42ft instead and we very much appreciated that.
I just wanted to let you know that despite a last minute panic about the location of my wallet, I did indeed find it when we got to Mahe, so no problems there in the end.
We had a fantastic last few days on Mahe and have vowed to return before too long!!
Thank you once again for giving us a great experience on the boat - an absolute privilege to be able to sail in the Seychelles and i hope we can do it again before too long. Thank you to all the team for making my life on crutches that much easier too!!
All the best and many thanks,

The Catana is a superior boat in sailing performance and sailing sensations. There is a trade off between comfort and performance.... especially in the "older" series of the Catana we chartered. The new series takes much less out of comfort and remains a fine sailing experience... Yes... the CATANA looked a bit more "beaten" than we expected, but... it must have been very busy with its charters ... The Lagoon was just superb ... although I should not be the one committing, as I was on the Catana .... I must say that I had chartered only with Moorings so far ... but now you are my first supplier ... of choice! And thank you for your support and availability! We were impressed by the passion for sailing hat your base manager, Yann showed throughout all of the opportunities we had to interact with him. He is a fine man. Say hello to him from all of us...!

As per our discussions, my friends and I enjoyed our holiday very much and would like to thank you and the base staff (Annie and Jérome) for your professional help and assistance in making it a success. The boat was ideal for our needs, seemed very well maintained and equipped and was spotlessly clean (much more so than any other we have chartered). The handover was very thorough and guidance on where to sail useful. The taxi driver was a little late at Bastia which made us think he wasn't going to arrive so we headed into town to find an alternative but fortunately we met up with the original driver in the town."
