    A wonderful day out on the water. The crew were very friendly and I had an amazing day. We are keen to head our sailing again and would recommend this crew to any considering spending an afternoon out on the water in Hobart.

    We had a lovely afternoon on the water. Wonderfully relaxing with scones jam and cream followed by cheese and biscuites. The crew were great with lots of interesting information about the river. It was the best thing we have ever done whilst in Hobart.

    A lovely half day sailing around the bay. Fab scones and cheese. The weather was tame for our trip but this yacht would be stable and safe for all in a high wind. Thanks to Captain Finn and his crew for an enjoyable trip.

    Learning how to recognise that a wind squall is about to hit the boat by looking at the shadows and turbulence on the water. Learning about the weather patterns coming down from Mt Wellington to Hobart and the Derwent River.
    Having a turn at steering the sailing boat and learning how to adjust and allow for lag to keep the boat heading straight into the wind.
    Enjoying the experience socialising with crew and others out on the water.

    Beautiful boat. Knowledgeable skipper (Mark)who didn’t mind sharing some sailing knowledge with me and got to watch the spinnaker set up. Shout out to Jimmies freshly baked scones.

    An incredible experience to see Hobart from a different perspective, the skipper and crew were extremely knowledgeable and pleasant and happy to share all manner of stories on the water ranging from fishing to their own boating experiences.

    The weather was great. The crew were happy friendly people. I have always wanted to sail on a yacht so for me it was a dream come true. Amazing to see the galley kitchen and living quarters. Everyone should try this experience. The tranquillity of the water and the wind in the sails can’t be beaten. Thankyou crew for a wonderful experience.

  18. Maximillian_D

    The absolutely great feeling as the wind catches the sails and the yacht tilt as it cuts through the water. The crew shared their sea tales and made you feel part of the crew. Taking the wheel is a great adrenalin rush.
