“Met een mannenweekend een trip gereserveerd voor op de boot. Heerlijke tocht gemaakt en lekker gezwommen midden op de zee. Een van ons had wat ervaring met zeilen en mocht ook een stukje zelf zeilen. Onze reisleider sprak zeer goed Engels en was super relaxed. 1 tip, neem voor de zekerheid reispillen mee voor de mensen die snel wagenziekte of zeeziek zijn. Twee gasten zijn uiteindelijk wel misselijk geworden ondanks dat de zee niet heel wild was.”
