An amazing trip! David put us in contact with Clara who was an amazing captain and booking and discussing the boat and trip with them was a pleasure

We really enjoyed the whole trip. At first, I was a bit worried about what it would be like sailing with the owner of the boat—whether we’d get along, etc. But it turned out to be perfect. Hakim was very patient and dedicated, and a big advantage was that he showed us amazing places since he knows this area perfectly. It was much easier than trying to discover everything on our own. He also arranged things like scooter rentals for us on the islands. I highly recommend it to everyone—and Hakim, thanks again.

The team at Sunsail were exceptional. Everything was very well organised and the boat in excellent condition. There were a few small issues with the boat, but the land team led by Sophie were fantastic. We really enjoyed the sailing in the area and we are sad to leave.
