At the weekend we were priviledged to experience a superb lunchtime cruise with Gourmet Sailing. Milo and the crew made us feel like it was our yacht! Their friendly, personal yet professional service was faultless, the food was amazing and we enjoyed a great selection of wines, beers and other beverages on board.
Thank you to Goumet Sailing for making a birthday celebration very memorable!

I chose Gourmet Sailing as the preferred company to charter a yacht as a birthday celebration - and I would highly recommend to others for a similar event. Milo and Kimberley were very professional and helpful the whole way through from enquiry to finalisation of booking, the grand event, and post event follow up. I had about 20 people join for 3 hours of sailing, and everyone seemed to have a fantastic time! The crew made us feel very welcome, did a fantastic job of the organising and serving the food, as well as making sure our drinks were topped up. Milo's dancing made us feel super relaxed and at ease too! ;) Was such a fantastic day, thank you very much.

Thank you so much for choosing us for your birthday! Your costumes were absolutely brilliant, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Even the music moved me in ways not usually seen. We look forward to sailing with you again.

My friend hired gourmet sailing to take about 14 of us for an afternoon sail for her birthday. Milo and the girls were amazing hosts and nothing was a problem. We were made to feel welcome and relaxed from the time we jumped onboard and there was always someone there to top up drinks and make sure the food was replenished. I couldn't have asked for more and would highly recommend to all-loved the dancing also milo as you were steering is around!

Thank you for taking the time to review us here. We are glad you and your friends had so much fun, though I hadn't planned on being the entertainment ;) The entire crew had a blast, and we feel fortunate to sail in such protected and beautiful waters with people who are so great to be around.

Went on a short sail the day of a mates wedding. Great yacht, heaps of room for 10 of us. Milo was an easy going host. Thanks for the fun. Highly recommend this company.

What a brilliant idea heading out for a fun sail before the wedding! I'm sure I would have been a bit more relaxed at my wedding all those years ago if I had been able to go for a sail first. Thank you for your review.

As my dad is a sailing enthusiast this weekend spent with Milo and Grace was an amazing experience, both for him as he managed to stand by the wheel and learn new things sailing-wise, do lots of fishing and generally enjoy the amazing views. The rest of us in the meantime, could relax, with walks on the shore, and other lovely treats that Milo and Grace had prepared for us. It was an amazing experience spent in great company! We all felt very welcome and Milo and Grace did everything to make us feel comfortable. It was an unforgettable weekend and even though the weather wasn't great, everything else completely made up for it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Gourmet Sailing. We really enjoyed getting to know you and your family, and can hardly believe it was just a weekend. Your father is a great fisherman, and it was fun seeing such a diversity of fish come aboard. While the weather wasn't great, the Marlborough Sounds are so protected it was easy to enjoy the tranquil anchorages.
