We arranged a surprise birthday treat for a friend and it wasn't only a treat for her, but also a fantastic treat for the rest of us. The Maddie... read more Too is gorgeous, and John, her owner and skipper, makes the whole experience fantastic. He is friendly, helpful and very knowledgable about not only sailing, but Windermere and the area. We are certain now that we will be seeing John and Maddie Too again in the future.
