I cannot make a stronger recommendation! We had a fantastic time with a really attentive crew. If you are looking for a taste of what sailing is then don’t hesitate. We saw lots of dolphins and spent a good amount of time with them before going sailing. Then crystal clear water snorkelling off the cliffs at Morro Jable… so much variety of sea life, including, puffer fish, pipe fish and a massive ray!! Worth every euro. Massive thank you guys! 🤙
