We had booked a yacht with Gourmet Sailing early on in 2017 for our wedding in early 2018. From the very beginning, they were extremely helpful in sorting out all of the details and specifics of our day. Unfortunately, two days before the wedding, we learned we would be unable to sail do to an incoming storm. Milo was absolutely incredible, going way above and beyond to help us sort out the details for our new venue at such short notice. It is hard for us to put into words just how grateful we are to have had Milo’s assistance and presence on our big day – he truly cares about people and his professionalism is bar-none. Although we weren’t able to physically sail on one of their yachts (not yet, at least!), we would recommend Gourmet Sailing to absolutely everyone, whether it be for a wedding, other special event, or simply a luxurious holiday in a beautiful corner of the world.

Milo, thank you for everything you have done for us; we are beyond grateful for your help!

Milo and the crew at Gourmet Sailing delivered a phenomenal experience for our family. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful experience. I hope we are fortunate enough to sail with Milo again sometime in the future.

Gourmet Sailing was a 5 star hotel at sea. Milo and his staff personalized our sailing adventure to meet our needs. We had lunch on the beach, shared hot chocolate with the locals at our overnight stay, a personal tour of a glow worm cave, a boat ride to walk across the suspension bridge and we had a fresh glass of water from a natural spring. Milo spotted all of the sea life for us. The food was outstanding! The service was outstanding! The experience was outstanding! I would highly recommend sailing with this crew. Thank you for taking such good care of us!

Wanted to surprise my staff with a special thank you for thier effort during the year. Milo and his crew excelled and the experience was better than we could have imagined. From the meet and greet, to safety brief, food, beverage and service we could not fault a thing. It will be a memory that we will hold dear for a very long time. Can not recommend a trip with Gourmet Sailing enough - not to be missed.

We used Gourmet Sailing as venue for our Christmas party and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything was worldclass, from my first point of contact with Milo, through the planning stages and the actual event.
I was in charge of organising this year's Christmas function for a group of ten and Milo made it so easy to get everything set up and finalised with minimum input from me. Special dietary requirements - no problem; pick up and drop off from the airport - no problem; best day ever - done!
Milo and his crew were absolutely fantastic. Very welcoming and super friendly! Service was superb and the crew was extremely knowledgable and courteous. Food was impeccable and I probably had one of the best steaks ever that will turn a vegan into a carnivore. Gourmet Sailing is an absolute 'must-do'! Put it on your bucket-list or you will regret it.
