Amazing Trip with Skipper Benny on the Bavaria 390 Lagoon MK II (10th - 21st Oct 2024)

5

I had the pleasure of joining Skipper Benny on an unforgettable sailing trip from Rota, through the Strait of Gibraltar, to Malaga. The first few days we had to weather out in port due to the conditions, which gave us time to fix some minor things on the boat. I quickly learned: there’s always something to repair on a sailboat! Despite the weather, the atmosphere was relaxed, and Benny used the time to teach me the basics of sailing. The boat is in great shape, equipped with radio and an EPIRB (emergency beacon). AIS will be installed soon, which I consider a valuable safety upgrade. Nonetheless, I never felt unsafe during the trip – Benny has a calm, professional approach that inspires confidence. Over four sailing days, we covered 180 nautical miles, and that’s despite me having no prior sailing experience. Benny’s patient and thorough teaching helped me to not only steer the boat but also handle most of the essential maneuvers by the end of the trip. This has made me seriously consider boat life as a future option. Beyond the sailing, we had a lot of fun – we fished regularly and even caught a 5kg bonito, which made for some great meals. Benny answered all my questions with patience and good humor, and you can tell his background as a professional team leader really shines through in how he manages everything. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with Benny and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a safe, relaxed, and educational sailing adventure. Fair winds!
