Fabulous trip
Everything about this trip was fabulous. The crew were very friendly and attentive and knew what they were doing. The activities at the island stop were very good, I snorkeled around Roberton Island and loved it. This was followed by a hearty lunch on board. Many thanks.

Lost my bottle
Brilliant day. Great value. Crew friendly and helpful. Lunch provided was delicious, as was the fruit! Took us to a beautiful little island for swimming and mooching. Incidental dolphins appeared. Magical. Only downside was losing my water bottle. Thanks!

Great day. Great team.
We had a fabulous day on the Vigilant. The skipper and her team mate were both great company and looked after us really well, answering our questions about sailing and having good chats with everyone. We loved hanging out on Roberton Island - the views were amazing from the top of the walk and had fun swimming in the lagoons. Yummy healthy lunch followed by a peaceful sail home and a chance to help out with steering. Definitely recommend.
