A must do when in Hobart - Fantastic day! Mark, Grant & Lachie were all great. We were encouraged to be as involved as we wanted (or not in my case!) Moving around the yacht was supported by crew as needed, oh and the sailing, exhilarating experience! Every second they could the motor was off and it was all in the wind! The stories and local knowledge shared by crew were amazing too! A must do! I’ll be back!

Great experience! - What a lovely morning on the water! We didn’t get much wind, but we still managed to get the sails up, which made it a really enjoyable experience. Mark was fantastic—passionate, highly knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout. And the snacks were delicious!

Great experience - We had a wonderful time sailing. We have been on many trips that say you will go sailing, but they use the motor the majority of the trip. These guys used the motor to get in and out of marina, but then put the sails up and away we went! It was so peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. We all got a chance to steer a bit and learn how to tell what the winds were doing and how that was effecting our speed. We were treated to delicious scones and hot tea and later cheese. Thanks so much for a wonderful time

An experience one wouldn't forget - On arrival was greeted by the skipper, and assisted onto the yatch. Introduced to his crew and explained safety protocols the importance of moving around the yatch and the importance of the boat boom and the side to be sitting on when attacking. Meeting other passengers and enjoying the interaction. The afternoon was amazing and beautiful, the freshly made scones with jam and cream was great with a cuppa at the beginning of the sailing experience, then a cheese plater with a variety of cheeses, fruit paste, 2x crackers and strawberries on the second half of the sailing. Dave was very informative, explaining many things about the yatch and it's history. It's was so exciting when the opportunity came for anyone to have a chance of taking the helm. When I got the opportunity I was so overwhelmed at first, though David explained and provided assistance, it was so exciting, sensational, stimulating, enthralling and intoxicating. It was an absolutely fantastic opportunity and enjoyable afternoon. We be recommending it to all our family and friends. You'll be seeing us again in the near future. The Meyers and Edwards family.
