I had the opportunity to learn a lot on this boat. Michael and Ann were so nice, always patient and willing to teach me and my friend on the team. They were always concerned about safety on board and the season was great. I recommend the Orchestra to everyone who wants to learn a lot about sailing and have fun with these guys.

Spending summer season with Captain Michael and Ann was great opportunity to learn all about sailing and how to coexist onboard. I recommend applying to join s/y Orchestra to anyone who want to start working in sea industry, who want to learn lot of valuable stuff and spend lovely summer under sails.
