Nicholas G.   -  Traveled, June 2023

It was every bit the adventure that I had hoped for. This was not something that I had done before, I have neither sailed or been on a group trip, and the experience and friends that I haves gained will be one of the greatest memories that I have. And our skipper Sandre is the one that I would like to thank most, an amazing man who made the trip even more special.

Ambeka K.   -  Traveled, June 2023

I'd rate 10 & 100% recommend if there were types for certain age groups. A sailing tour for 35- 45, 18 - 29, 60s, etc. However it's broken out, it',ll be more comforting to know I'm signing up to spend time with others around my age as well.
