Tim and the guys at Seamaster are fantastic this the second yacht charter I have booked with them. This year as obviously been a shocker! But Tim very generously refunded our money when we were unable to go to Croatia even though he didn’t need to. A very professional outfit. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them 100%. Thanks Tim

Exemplary service!

This was our second trip with Seamaster and again, excellent. Their care and attention and communication in the run-up to the trip, given the Covid-19 situation, was exemplary, and once again their choice of charter companies and their boats was brilliant. We will be booking again!

Re A GREAT sailing holiday!

Re: Our Sailing Holiday - 25th of July to 1st August 2020

We are a family of five with three grown up children (17, 20 and 22 years old), all with a little sailing experience and we booked a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 439 yacht (Kontiki) with skipper in Greece, via Sea Master.

Just wanted to say, we had a fantastic week sailing in the Cyclades, visiting Kythnos, Mykonos, Paros, Sifnos and Syros, Our skipper 'Buddy' was a blast, he was thoroughly good company and a ‘rock solid’ skipper with a wealth of experience and got everyone involved. He suggested a varied itinerary including stops in bustling marinas with lovely tavernas and remote bays where we anchored and watched the sunset, We had an excellent time and it has really fired our enthusiasm to gain our day skipper qualifications and do more sailing in the future.

We would like to thank the team at Sea Master for getting us away on a great week's sailing, despite the Covid circumstances hanging over us all. It was so nice to forget about it for a while!

Thanks and regards

Majorca 2020

Tim, Will and the team at Seamaster were faultless. The holiday was just amazing throughout, the Lagoon 450F was a wondeful yacht and just so spacious, for our friends to experience such an adventure for the first time quite simply blew them away! So looking forward to doing the same in 2021!

Ship Shape and True Bristol Fashion

Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion
I have been dealing with Mr Tim Anderson of Sea Master from the beginning. Excellent service, easy to deal with and quick to respond to my inquiries and concerns. Unfortunately Covid prevented us from travelling from New Zealand this year, but Seamaster deferred our cruise until the same time next year without any hassles or clauses. Really appreciate this at a time when everybody is scrambling to cover their asses! As far as I am concerned, Seamaster is Ship shape and true Bristol fashion! Highly recommended. Gary Dennis

This company refused a cash refund on a Greek yacht booked by UK residents. Seamaster claim yacht was available in Greece even though country was CLOSED to UK residents in June. Also you may receive a UK Seamaster contract with ABTA and ATOL printed on. In our case they said the contract was actually with a Greek company. This Greek contract is not provided at time of booking, only the Seamaster contract. Their website states "We are a British company, with British values and British accountability" Beware.

Reply from Seamaster Yacht Charter

Hi Alison,

We are disappointed to receive your feedback, especially as it misrepresents the situation. It is important to note that this case went to legal arbitration, in which we were successful against your claim.

As explained, you were not due a refund from the charter company because the boat was available for use and it was our (i.e. British tourists) inability to get there that was the problem.

Despite the yacht being ready and available for you and then being left with no other booking for your week, you were offered a voucher for the full deposit that you had paid. We think this was an incredibly fair outcome.

Cheers,
The Seamaster Team

Outstanding Service!

I have used many travel companies over the years, most with reasonable service. The true test of a provider in this market is not when things go well but when there are problems and how they are resolved.
Covid came as a total unknown to us having booked an expensive new catamaran charter with flights and extras. As we were in lockdown when our holiday was due, we were worried we wouldn’t get our funds back. The stories of holiday firms and airlines being difficult and with conflicting views as to rights and responsibilities of travel firms were disheartening. We needn’t have worried, Tim the owner of the firm kept us up to date with developments (his staff being furloughed). He listened to our wishes and the reasoning behind our desire for a full refund. He agreed and set about doing all the work chasing airlines, yacht owners etc etc. We received all our funds back in full.
We chose to use Seamaster for the first time this year. We had previously had a bad experience with our original specialist travel provider which we had used extensively, the first time we had a problem they failed to deal with it and were frankly appalling. I am very glad we changed to Seamaster as they are miles better than the rest and we will definitely use them again as we know that they are not just a “fair weather” Company.
I would thoroughly recommend!!

We have chartered with Seamaster 3 times and have always had a positive experience. Tim and his team answer all of our questions quickly, and we have never had a problem -- and our boats and our captains have been terrific. This would have been our 4th year, but we had to cancel our plans due to COVID and even then, the communication was perfect. I can't give them a high enough rating. We will be back in the Spring -- as soon as Americans are allowed back to Europe.

In the midst of this 2020 pandemic

In the midst of this 2020 pandemic, I wanted to thank Tim Anderson at Seamaster Yacht Charter for his patience and perseverance in dealing with our Chairman's queries and concerns, as well as keeping us informed and updated on the constant flux of information on travel restrictions. Tim's professionalism and diplomacy in liaising between all parties was especially appreciated.

Requesting a deferred holiday.

At a time when there is lots of uncertainty, Seamaster have been extremely good at processing and managing all our various requests. Fortunately for us, the outcome was just perfect for us so a huge thank you to Tim and his team!

Seamaster were amazingly helpful when we were booking our charter and have been equally helpful since Covid19 struck - keeping us informed of all the possibilities regarding rearranging/postponing or confirming our booking for the summer and beyond.

Super service

During these unusual times with the uncertainty around international travel with Covid-19, Tim has always been available to field queries. I am pleased today that Tim has worked tirelessly to ensure that we have not lost our charter, it's just going to be a little later than anticipated. Well done Tim

Great communication and transparency

Seamaster has been great to deal with. They responded to queries and concerns quickly and kindly and were very responsive with respect to the ever changing situation of COVID-19. I would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately our holiday had to be postponed until next year due to the coronavirus epidemic. However, the service we have received from Tim at Seamaster has been first rate. At all times he kept us up to date in a comprehensive fashion and when it became clear that we weren’t going to be able to travel has reorganised our holiday very quickly.
Would not hesitate to recommend Seamaster, they really do go the extra mile.
