Absolutely fabulous, we had an absolutely superb day with Seb. Wind wasn’t strong but it didn’t matter, the whole family enjoyed the boat and the company equally. It’s a vintage boat… so what, it’s a little rough around the edges, but it is full of character, just like Seb, and it was perfect for our family to spend a day on the sea in the Sun, soaking up the rays, dropping anchor, and diving in. Literally, we’ve had the best day and cannot recommend Seb, or any boat he captains enough!! We were complete novices, but he got all of us having a go and his relaxed style suited us perfectly. We give him 6 stars, and 11 out of 10!

We had a lovely time sailing La Bonica Vida. Pascal met us for the induction and explained everything very clearly, which ensured that things ran smoothly for the 5 days of sailing. The boat is old but well maintained. It was perfect for the three of us. I would highly recommend.
