3 adults + Alex in a Force 24 with plenty of room. He was friendly, knowledgeable and heading to the Galapagos to sail for two weeks. Chatting with him was a highlight. Recommend the afternoon sailing time for better wind during this time of year. We were staying near the Opera House and it was an easy ferry ride to the yacht club. We had perfect weather and enjoyed the experience as avid sailors. Our friend loved her first time in a sail boat. Alex used a white board at the start explaining terms and navigation. Appreciate the knowledge sharing and Q&A. Great activity for any level and age.

Super satisfied, this was a very special experience, we celebrated our daughter's 12th birthday at the event.I hope she will "ride the wind and waves, and move forward" in the new year.On a sunny day, with the blessings of the friendly and smiling Finn, his work partners and fellow shipmates, my daughter received more beautiful and sincere blessings! Imagine that you can participate in sailing, steering, and lying on the deck while listening to songs and watching the clouds in the sky leisurely, your body swaying naturally with the yacht and the rhythm of the waves, like being in your mother's arms ~ We really enjoyed this day, not only because we celebrated our daughter's birthday, but we also had three hours of relaxation that exceeded our expectations! Thank you to the organisers of the sailing event for recommending us to upgrade the service (possibly because of my daughter's birthday, thank you for your thoughtful consideration). It was indeed as recommended, we had a better and wonderful experience.

Meet the hosts

I’ve been sailing my whole life, and I’m passionate about teaching others the ropes. My love for sailing began on the lochs of Scotland, and I moved to Sydney to continue my journey on the water. As a qualified and experienced sailor, I’ll show you the beauty and majesty of Sydney Harbour like never before.
