Awesome skipper

I would love to sail again with Ismail! Very professional skipper. Great level of safety for crew and boat and fun to be around. He motivates the crew by doing jokes, having interesting chats! It was a pleasure and I hope it wasn't the last time!

VERY PROFESSIONAL

Ismail is very a very professional Skipper. I felt always safe with him, even in gale winds and waves. He has very redundant systems ensuring the safety of navigation in every case. He is generous and makes sure to have comfort on see. We were joking alot and having a great time. I would hop on any boat with him again any time.
