Hello Alban,
Thank you for your feedback.
We regret that this stay did not meet your expectations, particularly with regard to the atmosphere and the sailing.
This trip is not designed as a sporting adventure, but rather as a relaxing cruise in the Cyclades. The unfavorable weather this week has limited sailing, which is unusual for this time of year.
Finally, we have taken your comments on the skipper's profile into account and will share them with our partner, who remains attentive to better adapting the crews.
