What our clients say

Experience luxury sailing; hear from our delighted clients.

Ron is quite the “perfect” captain, if such a hat can be worn. He is extremely experienced, calm, respectful, and caring. Doing my first Atlantic crossing on his boat was one the best choices I ever made. I felt safe, informed and respected. I learned so much, while never feeling judged or overly pressured. I can’t wait to sail again with him!

Ron managed this 80 foot yacht with skill and care. I watched his sailing abilities with awe. We had guests on board initially and later mechanical issues that he handled with great skill and patience. It was a pleasure to be on board and recommend him as a skipper and gentleman.

My wife and I spent time with Ron on his yacht in the West indies and had the trip of a lifetime. Lots of love and laughs. Sunday pizza night was the bomb. Thanks again! Jim and Nina

My daughter and I spent a lovely and very entertaining 10 days with Ron sailing in Sicilian waters and then on to Kefalonia - we were sad to leave. The yacht is a very comfortable boat, homely, clean and with great cuisine. Ron's captaining is immaculate, 100% safety, care, competence and inspiring confidence. Thoroughly recommended for gentle cruising in a big, safe boat.

I met Ron here in Findacrew, and I've been in his boat for 4 months, sailing thru the Bahamas and including an Atlantic crossing towards Portugal. I can not describe how much I've learned with him, and I feel a much more confident sailor after this trip. Ron was very welcoming, and I can say that Ron's recipes at the galley are a must! Captain Ron is very experienced and conveyed confidence all the time, even in rough weather, when all the crew were soaking wet by the waves and rain. The boat, is also amazing! A really strong and beautiful sailboat! I also have to say: the soundtrack, provided by Ron during sailing, is great!

I had a great time sailing on the lovely and spacious boat. Ron is very welcoming, fun and have always nice stories to tell. I would always return and have another long trip with him. 🙂

Hello everyone, My girlfriend and I spend an amazing 20 days aboard Ron's yacht over the 2015 Christmas holidays and it was all that we could ever ask for. Ron was amazing with such a calm and cool manner and you will be nothing but comfortable around him. The boat is always spotless clean, amazing food, wonderful set up with loads of outdoor relaxing space so you never have to be inside. A great learning experience and the captain is such a wealth of knowledge with everything sea worthy. For sure take this opportunity to sail with him if you have the chance!!!!
