From my experience from the trip, the staff and guide really made the overall experience great, I felt like he went above and beyond to try and give everyone the best experience your company could provide. Overall I really enjoyed the experience. It did say in the literature you could get involved in the sailing but this was never really offered, not that I particularly minded as I knew that was not the main item of this kind of holiday.

We were older than most of the guests especially on the first half of the trip. We did not mind this, but welcomed other US travelers closer to our age on the second half of the journey.
