"Thiefs"

the frame they tried to apply to us is the following: initially the rudder was repaired properly in the shipyard. Then it was damaged again at a corner, before we took the boat. They "repaired" it underwater with superglue, which did not resist, of course, it was an improper work / repair, and they gaved the boat to us like this. I did not check underwater when we took the boat, and then, when we saw it we did not have underwater equipment to take pictures. When returning, the diver blamed us for that corner of the rudder, although he knew very well the superglue he applied did not resist. In fact, they provided the boat to us WITHOUT a square centimeter of rudder, which was replaced by his superglue. I told them that (i) I did not even touch the boat and (ii) I will not support the superglue and/or an improvised "repair". Our entire crew could discover their behaviour, which is in fact a pattern described in their reviews: they prefere damaged boats to make heavy tips/bribes than a boat returned in perfect condition. Their focus is to squeeze the customers and repair the boats on the insurance money, instead of preserving the boats and not receive tips and bribes.

"Hat alles gut geklappt! Bellatrix ist prima!"

Vielen Dank an Tim und Vaggelis Trahiotis von SSA bzw. Hermes Charter. Wir waren mit der Bellatrix Charter vom 1.-8. Oktober sehr zufrieden. Ich charter jedes Jahr eine Yacht für einen Törn von 1-2 Wochen und bin angenehm von Hermes Charter überrascht. Leider hatten wir in der Woche viel Wind und einige Tage mit mehr als 40 Knoten Wind. Meine Crew ist eingespielt und wir haben trotzdem 240 nm gemacht (ohne Motor) und Spaß gehabt. Hermes kann auf der App sehen wo sich das Schiff befindet und man ist quasi überwacht! Tatsächlich hat man mich aber trotz Starkwind und Sturm in Frieden mein Törn machen lassen. Andere Skipper von Seastar (Hatten wir letztes Jahr - gleicher Hafen) wurden vor Ende der Charter zurückbeordert.
Bei Übernahme haben wir festgestellt dass eine Segellatte fehlte, der Schaden wurde von Costa und seinem Team am gleichen Abend noch erledigt. Auch prima war die Unterstützung bei Beaufort 9 im Hafen anzulegen. Die beiden Schlauchboote haben mir echt geholfen und ich war dankbar für die Unterstützung!
Die Rückgabe der Hanse 458 war problemlos - wir haben auch nichts kaputt gemacht! Tatsächlich nehmen wir Hermes Charter gerne wieder!

"DO NOT HAVE ANY DEAL WITH HERMES…"

DO NOT HAVE ANY DEAL WITH HERMES YACHTING!!! You will be left without a deposit with 100% probability. I fully confirm Boris Chumakov's review. And we are preparing an appeal to the court. In their response to the review, Hermes yachting is lying. We didn’t sign the check out report because we disagreed with the list of findings but there was no right for us to object as they simply kicked us out of the office. They don't respond to the mentioned email address. We asked them for documents for repairs and did not receive any confirmation in respect to photos of damages or repairs.

"DO NOT EVER HAVE ANY DEAL WITH Hermes…"

DO NOT EVER HAVE ANY DEAL WITH Hermes Yachting!!!
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT DO NOT BOOK THE YACH FOR THE NEXT SEASON!
BASED ON THE BUSINESS MODEL THIS COMPANY IS THE POTENCIAL BANKRUPT COMPANY.
ALL POSITIVE COMMENTS THEY ARE WRITING BY THEMSELVES. PLS READ COMMENTS STARTING FROM THE MID 2022.
Now I will write what has happened with me.
We got the yacht “Salted Caramel” in Jul 2022. Despite the fact that the boat was produced in 2019 all my team got an impression that this particular boat was already 10 years old or more.

A lot of scratches and chips all over the boat. Unfortunately there were so many of them that there was absolutely no sense to fix them at the check in report as all of them were quite small. In the end however we had to pay for all of them.
As it turned out later, this yacht had serious damages in the past and was literally being put back together piece by piece. I have a video of huge cracks in the bilges which already require another round of repairs. All repairs from the past are of a very bad quality.

The most awful started upon our return and checking out the boat. When checking out the boat I pointed out that main Sail has damages as well as that the seams of the sail come apart from a slight impact on them. I have a video proving that. If you just hook the seam with your finger, it comes apart. The seams have come apart all over the surface of the sail. This is not the tenant's fault and the sails have critical wear and tear and need major overhaul.
In the end I have paid 450 EUR for sail repair:

Then the fun part started. Representative of the company discovered some water in the bilges and declared that this requires additional investigation and checks and based on that my deposit won’t be returned until all the checks are done. Results of this investigation and checks I was waiting for one month and as result I got an invoice with list of the works which were not required, there was no need in it. But for Hermes Yachting it was important to be creative and come up with works just enough for not returning my deposit:
SRV-000464 Drydock Services Lift in / out of the boat 700,00 EUR
SRV-000465 Other Works -Transfer the boat from / to Lavrio Port 200,00 ЕUR
SRV-000467 Electrical Works-Bow Thruster inspection 180,00 ЕUR
SRV-000465 Other Works pcs -Remove / Cleaning water from the bilges 300,00 EUR
SRV-000476 GRP Repairs -Repair crack at the bilge of jet thruster motorъ 250,00 EUR
SRV-000476 GRP Repairs pcs -Platform & stb side 250,00 EUR
SRV-000476 GRP Repairs -Inspection of the keel 100,00 EUR

In conclusion Hermes Yachting ended up adjusting the amount on the invoice to match the amount of the deposit. Allegedly having made the necessary checks.
When I have requested from Hermes Yachting documents proving and confirming that the works were really done as well as dates during which repairs were done and act of acceptance to and from repairs, Hermes Yachting stopped responding.

As result my deposit of 3,000 euros was fraudulently stolen!!! They have only provided an invoice from their company, nothing else.

On the day of handover, out of 7 yachts returning to port 6 had problems with boats.
Deposit was not returned to none of the customers of Hermes Yachting under different reasons. We had to wait for 5 hours in front of the office under the heat because we were not allowed to enter the office. They allowed to enter only one by one because with each of the customers they had a conflict situation. Each skipper spent approx. 2 hours at the Hermes Yachting office demanding deposit back but none of them got it back. Hermes Yachting just closed the doors of the office and left.

We are currently preparing a class action lawsuit against the company Hermes Yachting. Everyone who has been affected by this company pls get in touch with me via email chumboris979mail.ru

"Rented yacht from Preveza"

We rented a Yacht (sloop Dufour 46) from Hermes Yachting based at Cleopatra marina in Preveza during July 2022 for 6 days. Great boat in very good condition. Our skipper Andreas was exceptional. All in all we had a great experience.

"We haf an amzing time on board the…"

We haf an amzing time on board the Hanse 508 drom Hermes. Alltogether a great experiance

"Doubtful business practices"

I should have been in the crew of Michael Huerth and therefore refer to his rating of Hermes Yachting.
Sad experience for us but his will not prevent us from sailing Greece again.
