George and I had the most amazing adventure on our voyage, despite the weather, which obviously no one has control over and it didn’t deter our enthusiasm.

Your team and the volunteers were brilliant, supportive and encouraging. We had a lovely time with the other guests and we were all very supportive of each other too. The food was delicious and Cat, the steward was very attentive to our needs.

We learnt so much and were both grateful for the kindness shown to us and the opportunity to learn new skills. This trip was to celebrate George’s 60th birthday and we have so many happy memories.

What an totally fantastic adventure we had on The Maybe. The crew awesome, brilliant teachers and inspiring. The Maybe beautiful and exciting. Fellow passengers delightful. What fantastic first sailing experience.

We did enjoy our trip on Blue Clipper. A beautiful boat and fantastic crew who looked after us extremely well. They were all friendly and worked hard to give us a great experience.

Myself and my sister sailed aboard Maybe from Penzance to the Scilly Isles In July 2022. We had an incredible time. We were both totally new to sailing, but keen to get involved and the crew were wonderful at explaining things clearly for us. They were happy to let us do as much as we wanted and ensured we had a varied sailing experience. There was also a lovely day sail to the Scillys, visited all the inhabited islands, and then made a night sail back to the mainland, accompanied by a pod of 20 dolphins who chose to swim around us under the stars. We spent a few days working along the Cornish coast enjoying the wonderful sunshine.

Please pass our thanks on to the whole crew. Well lead by Chris, they are such a fab wee team. We were very lucky with the weather, but also feel fortunate to have shared our experience with another lovely couple and such a friendly and able crew. We would love to sail with them all again.”

The trip was great, despite the weather. But we know well that the weather is no respecter of people’s holiday plans. We think Ben is a great skipper and gives just the right amount of information regarding plans – changes to plans and the reasons why.

As for the crew – Gilles and Josie for their unfailing enthusiasm, Cat for always being there with tea, biscuits and information and the food….. Serious diet time now. We’re keeping an eye out for our next trip with you.

My voyage on Blue Clipper was amazing, the crew were the best and reaching St Kilda was the pinnacle. Will be booking another trip for next year.

What an amazing sailing adventure we all had. We’ve had a good mix of weather and seas. I learned so much and totally knackerd myself personally speaking. But lots of tales to tell and memories to treasure. Chris told me to say he’s a great skipper! Thanks all

I went sailing on Blue Clipper during the middle of April and absolutely loved the experience. The crew were so passionate about what they do and so inclusive and patient and keen to share their knowledge, it was fantastic.

The food was amazing and we were looked after incredibly well. I can’t wait to return on another voyage with Maybe Sailing and I would really like it if you could include me on the Friends of Maybe mailing list. I have lots of pictures I would like to share, including with the American guests who were on board with me.

I can only say that the cred onboard Blue Clipper were all outstanding and we could not have had any more care and attention. Jane was especially impressed, as she had some concerns about her ability to cope before the trip. The crew could not have been more supportive and caring and ensured that she was able to participate in all the activities. She was most grateful for the efforts the crew made to make her birthday memorable.

I have spent many years recruiting professionals and I would like to congratulate whoever is responsible for the recruitment of the crew. Apart from the essential seamanship skills there is clearly an objective to recruit those who will fit well into a team and relate well with the guests. I know how difficult it is to put together a coherent team and it was remarkable to observe how well this had been achieved.

The trip was absolutely wonderful. Grace and the rest of the crew were all very engaging and friendly, like wise my fellow travelers. I must not forget to mention the superb food and Blue Clipper’s very own shanty man, what a trip.

All I can say is it was a marvelous experience which I have been banging on about to anyone who will listen. If you did a formal survey everything would get 10 out of 10!!

Had an excellent holiday on Blue Clipper

This trip was one of the best holidays I have ever had. Amazing ship, stunning scenery & wildlife, wonderful crew & passengers and incredible food (Alex deserves a Michelin star for what he does in his kitchen). The  experience of sailing a tall ship had me smiling for the whole trip. For me it was a holiday of a lifetime and I know the other passengers felt the same. Please pass on my sincere thanks to Chris and all of the crew for an incredible trip.
