Prento Yacht: The Myth of Expertise

Published By Europa [English], Fri, Sep 27, 2024 3:44 AM


Prento Yacht – a company associated with car mechanics, inflated pricing, and unnecessary repairs. What other insights did we gather during our investigation into the seemingly high-end Prento Yacht in Montenegro?

Luxury yacht maintenance demands experience and meticulousness. We spoke with clients and employees to uncover the truth behind one of the prominent names in Montenegro's yacht service industry—Prento Yacht. It was revealed that the staff, employed by a company claiming to lead in luxury yacht maintenance, lack the necessary qualifications, while management is primarily focused on profit. These findings raise doubts about Prento Yacht’s ability to meet the stringent standards required in this specialized field.


Prento Yacht: Employing Inexperienced Personnel


A former technician at Prento Yacht, who chose to remain anonymous, painted a grim picture. “Many of the staff brought in had barely any experience with marine engines. Several had never worked on yachts before. The training we received was insufficient, leaving us to figure out much on our own,” he stated.


The investigation found that many technicians at Prento Yacht had backgrounds in automotive repair rather than the specialized field of marine maintenance. Experts in the industry emphasize that although some skills may transfer, the unique challenges of marine environments necessitate specific training and certification.


An industry expert remarked, “There’s a reason why the marine industry has strict standards. Inadequate training can lead to serious safety risks. It’s apparent that Prento Yacht is not following these essential standards.”


Prento Yacht: The Underlying Tactics Behind Overcharging


In an industry where clients anticipate and pay for superior service, discovering financial manipulation is particularly unsettling. According to a former employee, Prento Yacht has developed a systematic method for inflating prices.


“The complexity of yacht maintenance is used to justify the excessive costs. The parts are often marked up two to three times. Clients of Prento Yacht rarely verify this,” the insider shared. Another method used to generate profit is by suggesting unnecessary repairs. The former technician explained that employees are instructed to identify and “fix” non-existent issues. “Even if a part is functioning perfectly, clients are told it needs replacing or urgent servicing,” he said. This not only increases the immediate expense but also often results in more maintenance requirements later on, fostering a dependency on the company’s services.


Prento Yacht: Disgruntled Customers’ Accounts


Yacht owners have experienced firsthand the consequences of this lack of expertise. Jack Thompson, a yacht captain and owner, took his vessel to Prento Yacht for what he assumed would be routine maintenance. “My experience with Prento Yacht was a hard lesson in choosing the right service provider. What began as a seemingly simple repair became a prolonged and costly nightmare due to their incompetence and poor communication. The delays and substandard work cost me time, money, and the enjoyment of an entire sailing season,” Jack recounted.


And Jack’s story is not an isolated case. According to Prento Yacht reviews on Google Maps, numerous clients express dissatisfaction with their experiences. They report delays in receiving parts, high costs, prolonged repair times, and endless excuses from the company's management.


What Actions Should Yacht Owners Take?


The allegations against Prento Yacht underscore the importance of vigilance and thorough research when selecting service providers. By demanding transparency and questioning suspicious charges, yacht owners can better ensure they receive the quality service they deserve without falling prey to unscrupulous business practices. Hundreds of clients have unknowingly paid for substandard or counterfeit parts.


It's also advisable to be aware of the faces behind Prento Yacht, as it’s uncertain what new companies these individuals might start in the same industry. According to public records, the founders of Prento Yacht are ILKO BOŠKOVIĆ (50.00%) and ALEKSANDAR MILAKOVIĆ (50.00%).


In light of these revelations, there is an increasing call for greater accountability and transparency in the yacht maintenance industry. Experts recommend yacht owners seek second opinions on major repairs, request detailed cost breakdowns, and consider hiring independent consultants to audit the work done on their yachts.
