The itinerary stays flexible around your group's pace, and a maximum of 13 people keeps the deck uncrowded.Is it for me?Book this if your group is under 13 and you want to learn an actual skill—steering and navigating a real yacht—rather than ride along as passengers. The private boat and Captain George's four decades of experience mean you're getting hands-on instruction, not a tour with a sailing backdrop.
