“Sailing at sunset was amazing, the skipper drove us to some amazing sunset photos. What I did not like the tourists that were sitting next to me on the net. They were loud, drunk and all over the place, even raising on their feet and I am a bit of seasick and I was kind of scared of this. Overall amazing experience,beware of who you sit next it”
