To do, again and again!

Amazing experience, I loved it ! The staff was really really nice. We all had the chance to drive the boat and to haist the sails. Great views. I learnt a lot about harbour's history.

Great fun

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. In the sunshine, under sail with not too much wind and with a pleasant skipper. In short: wonderful.
