Captain Pascal delivered 100%. Had a great sail and we were even able to jump in the water near the Pier at the end of our trip. We were looking for a legitimate non-touristy sailing experience and that is exactly what we got! He is kind, mellow, and personable. We had two 7 year olds with us and felt very safe on his beautiful boat. Up towards the front of the boat where you might want to sit, he installed custom padded (neoprene or similar) cushioning so it’s super comfortable to lounge for longer periods of time and also less slippery to walk around. The boat has a small kitchen and nice clean restroom which came in handy. He even had some snacks/refreshments to share that we weren’t expecting. There was also a fridge on the boat that you can put your own snacks and drinks in, which was very convenient. When we initially set up the trip, he helped us book the ideal time to get the best wind for sailing and had a lot of local knowledge to share. Highly recommend, can’t wait...

Pascal was a friendly, laid-back host and expert sailor, and his boat is beautiful and perfectly kept-up! We had an excellent adventure and felt we were in great hands, totally taken care of. Pascal shared lots of cool tidbits on the wildlife we saw and also on wildlife he's seen in the area, and this was a highlight! The other highlight was getting to see a huge number of common dolphins as they gorged themselves on fish and sped around looking for the next meal. It was quite exciting, and Pascal was all about making it possible for us to get as close on his boat as we could to see the dolphins as the swam around the boat. He was as excited as we were, and that made everything even more fun. We would go on a sailing trip again with...

Wow! What an amazing experience! We were scheduled for an earlier time, but the captain advised us that the wind would be better a little later in the day and he adjusted his schedule so that we would have a better sailing experience. He was totally right, and the sail was absolutely wonderful. The view was so amazing. I was able to bring my little pup and I requested him to bring his dog too. Everyone, including the dogs had fun! The captain even provided some wine and electric bracelets to help sea sickness. All of his efforts really made the experience wonderful....
