An unforgettable adventure
An unforgettable adventure! 5 hours at sea. I not only enjoyed the picturesque scenery, but also personally participated in the management of the yacht. Stefan is an excellent instructor and a very pleasant conversationalist, a professional in his field. I recommend it, 5 out of 5

Memorable in every way
It's the second time doing this so you know it's worth it. I liked it so much I wanna leave my life behind and set sail. Would definitely do it a third time and would for sure recommend to others. All my thanks to the great skipper who made it an adventure!

Can’t Recomend
Booked a 2 day sailing course, sailed one day. I gave them the dates I have time, I got confirmation but it did not work out. I wait for response for recharge 50% for 1,5 weeks now. Can’t recommend.
Edit: Yes i was satisfied with the sailing lession. But I don’t rate the lession, I rate your company, I rate what I have booked. You did not deliver, I gave you the chance to recharge me, you didn’t. You simply deserve a bad rating.
