Bezook

A true french sailor

I sailed with Bezook and Apsara along the west cork coast for 3 days. Bezook is a very experienced sailor with many Atlantic crossing under his belt. He knows the Irish coast like the back of his hand. Apsara is a safe and solid boat which could take you anyway. Although my trip with them was short, I learned a lot from Bezook who is willing to let you have everything, from helming to raising sail and anchoring. Sailing on and off of the anchor was also a common manoeuvre which not many skippers willing to do. Something I really appreciate as there's not much fun to be had under engine. From his travels he has experienced so much and that really comes across as he always has a story to tell. Definitely a boat in which I would return to without any hesitation. I wish them both all the best in their future endeavours.

Experienced, open-minded & fun

I joined Bezook & Apsara for a trip down the portuguese coast and then on to the Canaries. I am very glad for this 10-days experience - I had a wonderful time on board, Apsara is a beautiful, well-equipped boat and Bezook knows her super well. He is a very experienced skipper who is always willing to share his knowledge; he is open-minded and interested in a lot of topics from astrology to yoga to climate activism, so you can pass long hours at sea with interesting conversations. Bezook is a calm and responsible person who has the habit of solo-sailing, nevertheless he let's you participate in everything and he is always there in case you have a doubt about something on your watch. To make things complete, he is also a great cook! I hope to be able to join Bezook & Apsara again in the future!

Great sailing experience

It was my first real/long sailing trip and I'm glad I've done it with Bezook! He's a great captain and person with a lot of experience to share, that's the best part! He allowed me to learn a lot and definitely passed on various of his passions to me. We crossed the Atlantic together, such an amazing experience and so smooth : he's good communicant, great teacher & cook (very important!) I never felt unsafe on Apsara & found my place quite easily. Don't know what to add, a lot more could be said, but if you have the opportunity just go & enjoy! See you around!

Always willing to share his experience

I spent a week on board of Apsara, from which I took in a lot and had the chance to see the beautiful Portuguese coastline. Bezook is a responsible, patient and contactable captain. I learned a lot from his experience - not only sailing. Thank you! I hope that we will meet again on the waters of this world :)

Very Experienced, and fair

Without having offshore experience, Bezook was understandable slightly hesitant to take me with him for a longer crossing, but he said yes and gave me the chance of a massive learning experience. I always felt safe under his guidance, even in fairly rough conditions. Thank you for the chance to get a first, but certainly not last experience in touring. I felt well cared off and enjoyed our conversations.

Kind and sincere

You will not be disappointed to sail with Bezook, who is a captain very experienced and skilled. I spent 3 days on Apsara and I learned more than in 2 weeks ! Patient, and listening, you'll feel safe with him on Apsara. Also, you don't want to miss his famous porridge !
