It doesn’t work properly. Even trying to email support via the app was a hassle as the send button wasn’t initially showing. I had to copy what I wrote close out of the email itself and reopen it back up to send another and the button finally showed up. Way too much of a hassle. ### 1/5 — Data harvesting? *2018-11-20, version 2.2.8* Seems like a way to collect name, phone, and emails. Can’t log in, as doesn’t recognize my number as a mobile phone. ### 3/5 — Issa Scam *2018-11-07, version 2.2.8* Don’t let you log in asks for your email never sends confirmation. ### 1/5 — Broken App *2018-10-31, version 2.2.8* App doesn’t even load properly bad experience ### 1/5 — Signing up is impossible *2018-10-06, version 2.2.6* I’ve tried numerous times and the app will not open. You asked to resend the email and there’s never an email . ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2018-05-01, version 2.1.9* Never received an email to confirm. ### 5/5 — Best Yachting Rental App! *2018-03-02, version 2.1.9* I Use this app almost anywhere I travel. Its my yachting go to app. It’s easy, quick and yachts and captains are top notch! ### 5/5 — Amazing concept & platform *2018-03-02, version 2.1.9* This app makes chartering a yacht so easy. The platform is super user-friendly, and customer service is top notch. ### 1/5 — App not working *2018-02-17, version 2.1.9* Using iPhone 7+ with latest software and can’t get past login. It’s a good app when it works. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Anti semitic ownership group-Yachtlife *2024-03-26, version 4.0.6* Stay away! the owners are antisemitic on my call with them. Dont do business with them! ### 1/5 — BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND READ THIS *2024-03-10, version 4.0.6* Let me start by saying that I believe the app may be legitimate, and there are reputable Captains and Yachts. However, you need to be extremely CAUTIOUS when booking and make every effort to verify the legitimacy of the boat/yacht listing. We booked a yacht, got approved, and paid for it. Subsequently, we received a message from one of the specialists requesting a deposit that the Captain would hold. While it's standard to request a deposit, it's typically done directly with the same credit card used for the reservation, appearing as "on hold" on your bank statement. The specialist insisted we send $1500 via Venmo, Cash App, or bank transfer, which seemed unusual to us. This raised our first red flag. Additionally, although the specialist had an American name and last name, he was texting us in a broken English, which served as another red flag. Finally, when we requested the Venmo name to research the "Captain," we found no verified information about the individual owning or working on the yacht. This was our third red flag. Attempts to contact the phone number listed revealed it was fake and from a UK phone provider. Calls to the office of the YachtLife app to verify the Captain's information led to voicemail each time. At this point, we decided to cancel the booking because it didn't seem legitimate at all. Out of curiosity, I revisited the app, and the listing had disappeared!!!. Please don’t ever send deposits out of a legitimate platform or to someone else unless there’s some type of protection on your end as well to ensure you can get it back. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent company! Watch out *2022-10-14, version 3.0.3* DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! Booked a yacht with them and the yacht owner delisted and dissappeared and now they say there is nothing they can do and won’t return my full payment! I fell for this scam organization. Fraudulent company—DO NOT BOOK with them ### 1/5 — Not sure why i got charged, never asked me. *2022-08-25, version 2.7.3* I was charged $5 and it is weird how I can’t create a log in but they can charge me $5 and I’m not even sure if this is monthly or a way to cancel. I should’ve been at least asked if I want to be charged $5 to begin with. I just been looking at rentals for the day and came across this app. Hopefully someone reaches back out and explains what this was. ### 1/5 — Crashes on Open *2020-09-28, version 2.5.4* Can’t even get started. App crashes immediately upon reaching the first screen. ### 1/5 — App not working *2020-07-27, version 2.5.3* I’m trying to open the app and it keeps closing. I already deleted and re-installed the app and still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Aucune confiance en eux *2020-01-04* Ils ne parlent pas des taxes, frais cachés et ils mentent sur ce qui est inclus, exemple « open bar » ce n’est pas vrai ! Et j’en passe... ### 1/5 — Registration *2020-01-04, version 2.5.2* This is awful. You can’t even see the app to decide whether you like it, before registering. And it is one of those deceptive incremental registrations designed to steal your personal information. It has 7 (!) pages of registration with increasing privacy information. You don’t know what questions are ahead, it might be credit card information and your address. I don’t know, nobody knows. No thanks! ### 1/5 — Requires account to browse *2019-11-15, version 2.4.9* The app should allow you to browse before creating an account. I wanted to charter a boat but I’m not interested in sharing my contact info with every broker in Florida just to see what options are available. ### 1/5 — Can’t even login *2019-05-27, version 2.3.5* Wanted to check out this app, tried logging in using Google. But after I filled in my missing details, the button to continue wouldn’t work. So I went back and tried making an account from scratch, and then it told me my email already had an account. Gave you 10 mins of my time, more than enough in today’s world of apps. Lost a potential customer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-08-03, version 2.7.3* I really enjoy booking through this app… it makes things so easy! ### 5/5 — App *2022-05-25, version 2.7.1* Great app ### 5/5 — First time Yacht renter! *2021-03-04, version 2.5.10* This app made it so easy!!! Can’t wait to take my family on the yacht! ### 5/5 — Playpen *2020-09-09, version 2.5.3* Easiest way to book a yacht, especially in cities like Chicago and Miami. Everything was seamless and straightforward, and the charters were professional. ### 5/5 — Uber-Like Experience *2020-01-23, version 2.5.2* Super easy to use and every step was logical and simple. went from installing the app to booking in 5 minutes! ### 5/5 — YachtLife *2019-06-04, version 2.3.5* I had a phenomenal experience booking with Joe. The interface in combination with Joe’s expertise made traversing this usually stressful booking environment a pleasant experience ### 5/5 — Easy to use, great options! *2019-01-28, version 2.2.9* My friend recommended this app to me when I was traveling to Miami. I was so pleased to find how easy it was to use, the charter broker that assisted me was great to work with and made sure everything was taken care of. It made for such a great trip, and I’ll be using it again when we’re in Mykonos next summer! ### 5/5 — Very efficient & easy to use *2018-12-15, version 2.2.9* Was recommended the app by a friend who chartered in Ibiza over the summer. I have to say I was very impressed with how user friendly it is. i was able to find the perfect yacht for my brothers birthday last weekend, the broker took care of everything & arranged for the yacht to meet us at our hotel which was a nice touch. Will be using them again over the holidays 🙌 ### 5/5 — Simple & Easy To Use *2018-12-15, version 2.2.9* Uber for yachts, love how you can tap a couple buttons to get a yacht for the day ### 5/5 — smcmiami *2018-03-09, version 2.1.9* Love YachtLife! A must for anyone who spends time in Miami. So easy to use and more fun to enjoy the city and water by boat than dealing with crowded beaches, traffic and parking. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
