Amazing few hours. Baz and his crew were such good company. Home made scones plus cheese platters were extra special. Baz gave us a turn at steering with great instruction about ‘reading’ the water. We had a wonderful time, thoroughly recommended.

Excellent day on the water. Beautiful sailboat and scenery. Jimmy, Grant, and Dave are professional and help make the experience even better. Scones, cheeses, conversation, and a chance to steer the boat. Great day and great experience.
