Hermes Yachting Reviews 58

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.

Amazing experience.
Fully recommended.

Hermes Yachting team was really helpful and our trip couldn't be better. Greece is one of our favorite sailing destinations and we highly recommend!

UPDATE 2022-12-21
They are trying to shy away from the court letter and pretending not to be present at the webpage shared address - well, I trust German legislation will find a way to knock a little more intense at their door. Else, if HERMES keeps shying away the court will make a call anyway :) - I love German justice!:)
STAY AWAY from Hermes, they clearly have the potential to screw you!

Update 2022-11-15
After 2 years we are taking Hermes to Court - let’s see what they have to say as they refuse any reaction.
STAY AWAY from a charter with them!

Update 2022-04-01:
Payment reminder without feedback - next step will be via a lawyer.:)

Unfortunately it seems like my reviews magically disappear from trustpilot, therefore I took the freedom to post on GOOGLE / TRIPADVISOR / FACEBOOK as well to not have fellow sailors share our poor experience.

We had a very poor experience, starting with the booking process, taking advantage of our crew-voucher for a trip that was cancelled due to COVID and finally we received a very pressuring contract with no obligations for HERMES but the ask for more down payment (which can be withheld by them for no reason!).

ADD-ON:
Till today, 14th January, there is no response from HERMES (MR. Apostolis Tsarouchas) what will happen with our down payment - I count it lost!

As of today, 10th February, there is no feedback and we will take legal action. More to come.

Overall my intention is to prevent fellow sailors from this industry harmful experience with that company.

HOpe this review remains on Trustpilot and is not made redundant as the previous ones. :-)

Best regards,

Michael Huerth (skipper)

This was my second time to rent a yacht. Everything was very professional and quick. Excellent service.

I chartered Bavaria Cruiser 46 "Oceanos" in Sept 2021. The bow thruster did not work, the mainsail (torn in half) was repaired in such amateur way, that we could hardy sail on it, 4 out of 9 door locks did not work (we had to use silver tape to keep doors closed), stern bathing platform could not be lowered (so we could not have any swimming), radio broke down (so we could not ask for the assistance entering Lavrio in the wind of 7 B). What's more, emergency phone did not answer.
Sorry to say, but if you want to waste your holidays - use Hermes Yachting !

First time ever we rented a yacht and indeed we had an amazing time. We will definitely come back next year.

I'm really sorry but my opinion is that you have to avoid these people. The boat was really in a bad maintaince status. A lot of things where not working properly. We left the port for our 2 weeks holiday without anchor light, steam light and all the indicator (fuel and water) were not working. The day of the check-in we had to wait from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m to take the boat (don't worry they ask you anyway to come back a day before because the out will be on time at 9.p.m). The boat was dirty and the end they charged us a lot of money on the deposit for damages that we didn't. I was not so clever to check everything properly and did not report promptly all the issue, trusting in their professionality. I did a big mistake!!!

Everything was superb! from day one to day seven. shout out also to the great base staff!

WE had an excellent experience this year with the boat we charted fro Hermesyatching. Eyrything was perfect from the very beging up to the end of our vacation regarding the boat, the politness of their staff, the organised business, everything was ok We would like to recoment this charting business to everybody that would like to have a great experience in Greece

Excellent services during arrival & departure. Great Catamaran & Fabulous skipper!!!!
Everyone had an excellent time. Thank you all!

As requested, we were able to yearly check in at 10 a.m., the boat - a Hanse 508 - was in great condition! Hermes organized everything. Even the delivery of groceries ordered over the internet arrived on time at the pier, even though it's very busy on Saturdays. We're leaving at 3 p.m., what more could you ask for? The support from Hermes Yachting was very punctual and the annoying and time-consuming seals of the authorities were taught very quickly.
Competent reception and final delivery on return

One of the best charter companies in Greece, Maria and Tim they are always available to inform the best boat charter options with good and new fleet.

We sailed for one week in Cyclades and we had the most amazing time! Wonderful yacht & super team! Definitely we'll come back.

Easy check in procedure and clean yachts. What else do you need? And of course great weather :)

Very good service and communication...recommend
