Fantastic experience and the first taste of sailing. The instructor has a lot of experience and is knee to share with you is knowledge. We learn so much in only 3 hours and this first sailing taste I think became addictive. To try absolutely

I booked this as gift for my wife's birthday. Originally I wasn't going as I usual get sea sick. But we both had a great day on the water.
