I guess the communication was the biggest issue, despite speaking some English relaying information back was poorly executed by the skipper, which have cost me my flight, some lack of empathy during hiking trips instead of allowing time to rest he was pushing for faster or take the bus. Speaking French round the table despite 2 people not speaking the language out of 4 was little rude, otherwise he was very caring when I was unwell during sailing at times and provided effective medical solution, The trip however was a blast, beautiful islands and locals with packed activities, and amazing memories to remember. ---------------------- SKIPPER ------------------------------ Bonjour Sandra, Je suis vraiment désolé que la croisière que vous avez réservée n'ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. J'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu pour créer une bonne ambiance à bord, même avec un équipage mixte parlant des langues différentes. Les vacances que vous avez réservées étaient un cours de voile où vous deviez parcourir plusieurs kilomètres. Mon objectif était de transmettre la passion et les rudiments de la voile. Pour un itinéraire qui comprend les îles des Grenadines, il y a de nombreuses heures à consacrer à la navigation.

Michele is an excellent skipper -- technically sound, mature and responsible -- and an excellent host on board. He is also delightful company. I recommend him without qualification

Très professionel et sécuriatire. Hervé connait très bien les iles. Très bon bateau et super voyage.

Sail fast, Live slow! 53 feet boat well updated with new sails and modern equipment without loosing the cachet of a vintage boat with tek-dek, etc. Designed to feel like home, all comforts on board, even TV and AC if it's what you're into and according to your budget. My bed was comfortable. If a couple, I would ask the master bedroom. With real shower and space that I never seen before in a sailing boat. We got an average of 8/9 knots of speed on the first day with picks of 12 knots! Great destinations. Beautiful spots. Clear waters full of fish and turtles. He delivers according whatever you are into and fixes whatever missing on board. Good host, Italian flair, recently reconverted in the Caribbeans, passionated, helpful and basic cooking. Does the best barracuda ceviche! Ask him to saber the Champagne ;) Check prices and what services are incl or not before booking, as with different languages, miscommunications happen. Also about moorings prices w service. Arrivée á bon port!
