A group of 4 of us chartered ocean star, the Bavaria 30 for a long weekend in September and explored the Kyles of Bute, Arran, and tarbert. This was the first time I've chartered and the process was easy and the comms were good. On arrival we were allowed to get on a bit early which was very helpful, and the boat was set up and ready for a quick briefing and off. It was a great experience in a beautiful location and the flamingo team were helpful throughout.

Me & the hubby came here for our anniversary, and it was so special. We were more than satisfied with the gondola ride, it exceeded our expectations! We had the best Covid anniversary here.And a special shout out to our gondolier- Sam. He made our ride that much more special and his singing was great. He even ended up doing a couple spontaneous duets with my husband

I booked a charter with the company and had to change the
booking dates at a late stage . The staff at Flamingo were first class, nothing was to much of a problem. The yachts are all owned by the company which I found reassuring, the hand overs were very professional. They also explained that the yachts are all maintained by their own team and they would be on hand if we needed any help.I was lucky to be given the Beneteau 45 . It was brand new. Wow what a boat.
I just booked again for next year.

I have been using Flamingo for some years now and have always found their service top notch. The ownership changed a few years ago and the already high standards continued and have improved. Muir and his colleagues did a great job in establishing Flamingo and the new people have taken it to another level. New yachts have been introduced, the handovers are slick and the yachts beautifully presented. Enquiries are friendly, informative and the booking is handled efficiently. After many charters I have yet to have any serious issues with the yachts, which is testament to how well they are maintained

We did our first ever charter in October 2019 having just completed our RYA qualifications.
We spent a truly glorious week on the 37 ft Voyager having been upgraded ( free of charge!)
from the 30ft Ocean Star which had a mechanical issue.
The staff were so helpful. Booking was a cinch and
the price was very reasonable ( even if we had not had the upgrade!) with no hidden extras.
The yacht was spick and span on our arrival and everything was explained in a relaxing manner making it a great start to the holiday.
After a week of idyllic conditions in what must be amongst the most tranquil but

We had a great time aboard a well appointed and comfortable yacht. Our skipper was happy to teach me the basics or let me lounge around taking photos and sipping the wine they gave us to help celebrate. The staff are very friendly and helpful from first contact to stepping ashore at the end of the trip. Thanks to everyone on the Flamingo team.

I've been sailing on Boats chartered from Flamingo for 12 years now, initially as crew, but more lately as skipper in my own right, and I would heartily recommend them to anyone wanting to sail in the Clyde/ West of Scotland area. They offer boats suitable for small families,as well as for much larger groups, and I have always found the staff to be very friendly and extremely helpful. We'll be back out on a Flamingo yacht as soon as we get the 'all-clear'. :D

Sailing out of Largs on a sunny, calm early Summer's evening in May 2019 was one of the best experiences of my life. Beers, friends, good banter, good company and surrounded by peace, serenity and mother nature! Of course, we interrupted it with some intermittent blasts of yacht rock!
Flamingo had the best boat laid on for us, which was like a floating palace with navigation equipment that allowed us to navigate around a postage stamp. Largs marina is very well facilitated with all that you need for your outward and return journey and my precious Jaguar XJS was parked up for the long weekend without

Well, We came a group of 25 persons and took 4 yachts The process of handing over the boats was fine One of the yachts was bran new. well a yacht charter company is measured when something happens, and we had technical problems with the yacht. the company gave poor service, and 50% of the time we did not have a fresh water system in the boat, no… showers! no cooking, can't wash dishes we spent over 200 pounds on phone calls to the company trying to make them solve the problem. at the end when we were already back to israel we asked the company for the 200 pounds we spent on phone calls and
