An incredible human adventure! We laughed, ate, and shared so much in a stunning natural setting, all while learning the basics of sailing. A huge thank you to our skipper, Romain, who made the trip unforgettable with his teaching skills, his desire to share his passion, his constant good humor, his flexibility in accommodating everyone's wishes, and his excellent taste in music (and his love for cheese and chocolate, you've been warned!). A fantastic crew in a magnificent environment; we were even lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins :)

Fantastic trip! The instructor was attentive to everyone's skill level and needs, and the catamaran was very comfortable. The only slight drawback was the provisioning; it would have been helpful to have some guidance on quantities and essentials. Otherwise, a very enjoyable stay.
