“Had an awesome, unforgettable experience with Dennis! Flowing with the big and small waves of Marseille, feeling the wind and sunlight - you won’t imagine until you try. The boat is smaller than expected but think that’s what made this sailing tour so exciting. It’s a bit cold to swim when we visited May 22nd for everyone’s reference. Try navigating if you have chance! Thanks for the great memory Dennis”
