Have you ever heard of bed bugs in the boat? We found them in Palma de Mallorca on a chartered boat. It was a nightmare. And the charter did not want to replace the boat leaving us 2 days on the dock of the marina. We had to find another charter boat to continue sailing.

let the captain know. Captain most likely works for the boat owner and not the charter service.

Doesn't surprise me that things like this happen. Adding more issues, the bugs are probably in your clothing and when you go to the new charter some will hitch a ride and spread. Once you get home, take all those clothes straight to the washer

Sorry for the bummer of a trip. That really stinks. Let's keep the business name out of this, though.

If you'd like you may ask some questions on what you might do to recover some of your charter costs or get some satisfaction from the charter.

Welcome aboard.

This is a *itch and flea thread. Hasn't been back since.

Darned autocorrect! :rolleyes:
