5/5
Although I booked the sailing trip with Martin very spontaneously, everything worked out great. In advance we had a short phone call to discuss the course of the trip and clarify expectations. Martin answered all my questions and we were able to clarify organizational matters. On the boat Martin was very patient in explaining and you could try sailing depending on your interest.
