5.00Didier is an accomplished sailor and made sure we understood the safety and then gave the 8 of us an extraordinary day. We arrived as pairs and departed as friends. The weather was perfect, the scenery gorgeous, the snorkeling amazing. Didier provided a delicious chicken colombo and such good drinks and snacks. We couldn’t have ordered a better experience. Cheers!

5.00A super great sailing trip. Raffaele took great care of us, explained everything and was totally relaxed. We were allowed to take the helm ourselves. She took us to good snorkeling spots where you could even swim with turtles. She's a really wonderful captain.
A great end to our time...
