A terrific week of exploring with wonderful hosts, great food, & amazing views! Maria, Ulrik & Ramoncito make you feel right at home the minute you board the (aptly named) Jolly Good Times.

Nanda and Ulrik were such nice people. That couple, a Latin+Nordic mix, is fantastic! Friendly, always attentive, very experienced in both sailing and taking care of people... Without them, the experience would be a different thing.

“The tour with Ulrik and Maria (and Ramoncito - woof!) was just magical.”

“With their warm and welcoming spirit, we immediately felt at home, and their sailing knowledge, local perspective, and life stories, made for a truly rich and authentic experience.”
