😠 I very strongly advice against this rental. NOT TRUSTWORTHY. Rented a boat for a long weekend. The boat was old and dirty. The personnel was unfriendly and stock-up. When we returned, they claimed that we had put a dent in their boat. Even though we had pictures proving, that the dent was already... People often mention boat,

    Easy to book, had a great time on the water with the Kayak but unfortunately the person who I was dealing with at the venue didn't appear to be too friendly at all, and forgot to come and meet us before we went into the water.

    In 50 years of chartering medium (30 - 40 feet) this is the worst. I strongly advise against WWWind Square Malcesine. At least their big yachts, don't know about their other craft. 1 The 31.7 Beneteau:Vanity, (the other 31.7 in his fleet looked as old) is over 20 years old. That in itself is not a problem, but this boat is in bad shape due to lack of maintenance. I've owned many older sailboats and know what it takes: lots of time and money, no surprise. 2. Ex. No auto pilot, no chart plotter, wind speed indicator broken. Roller furler jammed on me. Mainsail fell out of the mast track the only time I used it. The keeper for the mast track fell off when I lowered the main (it was not windy) and all the slugs came off the mast, a major issue, very dangerous. 3. The boat was dirty when we boarded, as in dead bugs, slime in the toilet, a nest of lines and sheets in the cockpit, cabin floor needed sweeping. 4. A one week charter cost me 1,440 Euro so I expect a decent boat. I'm not fussy. I have owned a charter sailboat in the Caribbean. And I have chartered all over the Med, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico 5. No dodger or spray hood, no bimini. If it rains, you are totally exposed it you are under way. AND there is no shade for the cabin or cockpit. So because the weather was warm, it was 28 degrees C in the cabin at 2200 hrs. Fine for a day sail, but we were sleeping onboard. 6. Sharp metal edges in the cockpit and gunwale from stuff that used to be (it had once had an auto pilot, but it was broken for ex.). Both my wife and I were cut and gouged while underway by these bits which would be easy to remove. Very dangerous. Owner and his staff were very unresponsive to my requests for any correction of her many flaws. 7. Finally on check in the contact f. WWWind kept my Passport/ID and the physical credit card for the week, no charter co. has ever done that to me. I am 72 years old, so not a criminal, Mr. Hermann - the owner. Enough said, I'd stay from WWwind unless changes are made.. The photo is of the jib the first time I raised and sailed, sail baggy because the halyard was not hoisted completely, causing the sail to snag on the life line when tacking. When I told the staff about it, they suggested I fix it, which I did. No accountability.

    We were a group of 8 who booked a windsurfing course over four days. This was the best idea rather than doing it over four lessons in two days. Wwwind were extremely helpful and all equipment was in good working order and of good quality. I proved incapable of wind-surfing but was able to transfer into sailing instead and, again, all equipment was very good. The rest of our group all finished the course and got certified. Free parking on site is great and the on-site cafeteria has a simple but very tasty menu. We ate there every day and chilled out each afternoon. Big shout out to all the staff but especially Otto and Sebastian.

    Excellent!! Right on the beach in an ideal spot for morning and afternoon winds, great range of kit, friendly and professional team, lovely bar / restaurant on site. Was a return visit for us as it ticks all our boxes (various levels of windsurfing / sailing / SUP / beach chilling) - and hopefully we’ll be back. Would not hesitate to recommend.

    Ask for Gabriella at the reception or especially Otto, the windsurf instructor. This man is an incredible teacher, nice, open and always smiling. He was a pleasure to be with. You can also ask to change the days if the wind is not adequate or if there are too many people in your class.

    We really enjoyed taking beginner courses with otto, the best teacher ever. Cool spot with a guest parking.
