Island Sailing

5

I had a great time sailing the islands from Antigua to Dominica. Before getting on his boat i had never sailed in my life so he teached me all the basics and we worked as a team pretty fast. He has a lot of patience to tell you everything you need to know and very detailed. I learned so much about sailing and how a boat really works on the inside and outside. I recommend Paul to everybody that is looking for some good conversations, nice sailing and just having a good time :)

Fantastic Sailing

I have sailed over 2000 miles with Paul. He is a very knowledgable and safety conscious skipper who is always happy to share his wisdom and help others on their learning journey. The boat is well maintained and great fun to sail in all weathers. There are always plenty of cookies and laughs to be had on this vessel. I look forward to my next time on board.

I had a privilege to sail with Paul 4 times now (10 days overall) and I cannot fault his skills as a skipper. He plans trips in detail, feeds the crew to excess, is patient in explaining basics of sailing to the beginners. There is a lot of banter on the boat and good mix of skills and female / male ratio. Have felt comfortable as a single female.

Thanks Paul for a great weekend of sailing in the Solent! And thanks for the extra navigation lessons! Look forward to seeing you again soon as soon as weather allows. Paul was an excellent skipper and has a beautiful, safe and exciting boat. He is an excellent host and takes time to coach some of the less experienced crew. Great guy. Recommend strongly!

We had a great sail, Paul and the other crew helping us along our learning curve. Good laugh, sailing, sunshine and a few beers with nice people. Paul is a down to earth genuine guy.
