“Wer ein richtiges Segel Erlebnis sucht ist vielleicht falsch, wir sind bis auf 40 Minuten durchwegs mit Motor gefahren. Man ist natürlich bei der fixen Strecke auf die Windverhältnisse angewiesen. Trotzdem ein tolles Schiff mit netter Crew. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß beim Baden, schnorcheln und Rutschen. Tipp: wir waren mit fast ausschließlich Chinesischen Gästen an Bord die im unteren Deck durchwegs mit Seekrankheit zu kämpfen hatten. Am offenen Deck im 1. Stock hat man seine Ruhe, ist trotz insg. 40-50 Menschen an Bord fast immer alleine gewesen. Wer Lust auf einen aufregenden Tag hat mit tollen Zielen und einem spektakulären Sonnenuntergang am Ende wird hier fündig! Wir sagen Danke…”
