Here are recent comments from Suva Guests following their cruise:
“Loved it! Volunteers were great and super-knowledgeable. I always had wondered what tacking and jibing meant. So fun to learn about the boat and sailing. Loved the opportunity and thanks for doing what you’re doing. What a wonderful boat!”

“We had a wonderful time sailing with the crew! The ship is lovely. The crew was extremely knowledgeable and professional. They were quick to share their knowledge about the cove, the ship, sailing and even the wildlife we saw during the sail. We highly recommend it to others and will absolutely sail again with this awesome organization. Keep up the great work!”
