Amazing Sailing Experience - We had a really awesome afternoon sailing with John and Alex. We love sailing as a family but are not sailors or very experienced so we were looking for an experience with a fun friendly crew, on a high quality boat and where we could get involved with the sailing if we wanted but also chill and relax. To say we got that and more is an understatement as it was one of the best days out we've had in a while. From the moment we stepped on the boat we were made to feel at home and instantly relaxed. John and Alex are very experienced and knowledgable sailors and we knew we were in safe and experienced hands. It was such a fun afternoon sailing out into the Bay of Gibraltar where we saw so many Dolphins. A real thrill! We anchored off the coast of Spain where we had a swim and relaxed afterwards with tapas and drinks. John and Alex allowed us to join in the sailing and are really great teachers. We had fun at the helm, on the ropes and generally trying to be helpful. By the end of the afternoon though we were very happy to relax on one of the most comfortable bean bags we've ever sat on! There was a danger they'd find us asleep on the boat the next day! Booking was super easy and quick and we were provided with clear and helpful information before we arrived. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon on the water and we will most certainly be returning and hopefully going out for longer than half a day. Thank you Alex and John for a wonderful afternoon.

Absolutely amazing - John and Alex are just the perfect hosts, the yacht was absolutely spotless and beautiful. We had the best time, we found it really interesting and relaxing at the same time. We cannot wait to go again. Well worth the money would recommend it to anyone.

Sailing on a Star 🌟 - John & Alex ensure a warm welcome for what can only be described as a truly beautiful experience. Professional yet relaxed in a way that you feel like you have known them for years. The boat is clean and very comfortable. Informative and educational. We enjoyed a tour but I can imagine that it is fantastic to sail if you are interested in joining the sailing world. I highly recommend them. Thank you ☺️

Best boat experience in Gibraltar! - Absolutely terrific! Alex and John are kind, charming, and very generous hosts on their boat. We had an amazing time with 4 adults and 2 kids. They were flexible and relaxed when our schedule changed at the last minute. We saw gorgeous dolphins, a fun swim, used the paddleboard -- and the tapas were super tasty as was the wine. You cannot go wrong with Alex and John!

Yacht experience you do not want to miss!! - Hired the afternoon for my brother in law’s birthday and had an amazing time. Alex and John made sure that we were all fully involved in the sailing of the boat which added so much to the experience. Full safety brief followed by drinks as we left the Marina and after that it was hands on. The hosts were more than happy to share their knowledge and experiences of sailing over the years with the odd comedy mishap 😁. So many dolphins, tuna and flying fish ( the flying fish were a first for me), food was available but we declined as we had eaten beforehand. I do believe my brother in law declared it one of his best birthdays ever once the wind caught the sails and he was at the helm. Cannot recommend enough, wonderful experience and will be booking again in the future.

The most amazing trip in Gibraltar. Not to be missed!! - We had a wonderful half day charter with John and Alex last weekend. We were made to feel so welcome and the hospitality we received was second to none. The tapas style lunch was amazing. Plenty of opportunity to have a dip in the ocean, try a paddle board or simply lounge on the upper deck. Having been a massive fan of Below Deck on channel 4 this was my dream excursion! We will 100% be coming back and next time on a full day charter. Thank you so much John amd Alex x
