Great afternoon on the harbour

Great experience sailing on the harbour. Informative session. Sunscreen provided and lovely day to be out of the water. Recommended experience.

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.

Beautiful morning on the harbour

I loved this sailing experience - it was a beautiful day out on the yacht, led by a great crew. I enjoyed getting a chance at the wheel and was surprised how hard it was to keep in a straight line. I wish we'd had some wind rather than just moto, but what can we do about that? Thanks team!
