Absolutely excellent. We just sat back and relaxed. Skipper did all the work but was brave enough to let us steer the boat for a bit. He served some fantastic... read more local food, including some treats home baked by his mum. John made us feel very welcome on board and took a genuine interest in us and what we all did.

Rang in the morning to book some sailing and dining. Managed to get some sailing that afternoon due to a cancellation. Captain John was a great host, made us feel... read more comfortable as well as engaging with our teenage son with sailing tasks! We had a great time and can only recommend you book. Spend a little extra and go sailing rather than on a tour boat. You won't regret it! Thanks Capt John!

We didn’t know what to expect as we had been bought this experience as a gift, John approached us at the meeting point on a grey drizzly morning, after asking... read more our names the next question was “have you got waterproofs? to which we answered no, anyhow we could only get wet. We followed John down to the yacht and he put up a canopy and dried off the seating area for us, we boarded and off we set for a private tour of Windermere, John is very knowledgeable about the area and told us so much, you get to see things from the water you never would normally, and he has lots of nuggets of info he shares. We both had a go at piloting the yacht which was very enjoyable, after around an hour and a half we dropped anchor and John served us with a lovely drop of Merlot which we enjoyed whilst he prepared lunch. We were invited below deck to enjoy a lovely medley of local foods, and some of his and his mums homemade delights, a very nice fruit loaf to finish, followed with a nice cup of coffee. All the while the conversation flowed very easily and the time passed by, up with the anchor and back to the marina with my wife Gill at the wheel, John took over to park us up, overall it was a much better experience than we envisaged and we would recommend this to anyone, if you get the opportunity just book with John you won’t regret it!
