Dani was amazing! She taught us everything we could possibly hope to learn in a first lesson in sailing...she showed us beautiful sights as well as how to stay safe, when to duck....who gets to go first...ie ferry vs sailboat vs kayaker, etc. We are so thankful that she was our instructor and Will will be great as well. We had the best time and would highly recommend this tour!

2,5 hours of amazing sailing! Toby gave very good explanations and instructions so that even people who never sailed before were able to steer. Just a pity that 2.5 hours passed by so quickly. This activity is perfect for people who want to sail!

This experience went beyond expectations. Onur greeted me enthusiastically an was awesome and we had an amazing opportunity to sail near the SailGP race. We were able to really move with good wind. Onur and Owen let me participate in the process and fortunately were plenty patient. This is an incredible way to see Sydney and the area from the water in an exciting way.
