“Absolutely amazing highlight to our trip! This was an absolutely amazing highlight to our trip. First class treatment all the way, on a beautiful 50’ sailboat, ‘the Fate’. Our Captain was Scott, and his first mate Grace, who were very knowledgeable, professional and experienced. They showed us kindness, respect and really made sure we had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-21
