The favourite part of the trip was the hospitality by Alex and John and the enjoyable experience that created great memories! I would definitely recommend couples and families to choose this lovely couple. You get to learn to sail too :)
We (2 adults & 2 children) chartered the Starlet of Dover for the day last weekend and it was absolutely amazing! Owners John & Alex made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board at Queensway Quay. They allowed all of us to get involved with the sailing throughout our trip. The kids learned so much! We loved hearing about their experiences at sea. My husband got to fish from the back of the yacht, we got to see the Rock from so many different angles, we spotted hundreds of dolphins and the kids loved paddle boarding and swimming when we dropped anchor. Our lunch was delicious and our glasses were never empty. We didn’t want the day to end. A lovely, relaxing experience that we all can’t wait to repeat. We’ll definitely sail on the Starlet of Dover again!
We booked a day out sailing as the start of our holiday. What a great start! Alex and John were very genial hosts welcoming us on board their beautifully maintained 48 foot yacht with a Sangria. We then motored out into Gibraltar bay before raising the sails. Alex proved to be an excellent instructor explaining to my son who had not sailed before the art of helming and points of sail. Meanwhile John refreshed me on the intricacies of sail trimming as I was somewhat rusty having not been on sale boat for 15 years. Throughout they demonstrated that we were in safe hands and experts in handling their boat, but in way that made us feel very welcome and encouraged to get involved. The day rounded off with delicious Tapas at anchor off the beach. Throughout I was impressed with the warmth of welcome and as a Former Naval Officer, their seamanship and boat handling skills. A great day out for me and my family - Highly recommended
From the minute we booked this trip to the last goodbye- warm, relaxing, cared for, spoiled. John and Alex are caring, professional, knowledgeable and fun! We booked a full day charter from Gibraltar as a birthday treat for my husband. The weather scared us a bit on the day, was supposed to be raining and thunderstorms- but it was fine in the end, just as Alex said it would be. The yacht is amazingly spacious inside and out. We boarded it at around 10 in the morning. Done all of the necessary procedures- safety is important for Alex and John- and headed out into the Gibraltar straights drinking amazing freshly made Sangria prepared by Alex :) All through the day the sailing was comfortable and fun. We saw dolphins. We went on a paddle-board. We had amazing food and drinks. Listened to our music. Watched a regatta in Spanish waters. Just chilled and relaxed to the sound of waves. Alex and John were very attentive, accommodating - great hosts! All-in-all - it was a luxury and relaxing experience! I would recommend it to everyone!
John and Alex are great hosts. We had a delightful day on the water of sailing, swimming, eating and sight seeing. They are very knowledgeable about the area, fantastic sailors and great people. We would highly recommend this day trip to anyone who loves to be on the water!
