It was a great experience sailing with Carlos y Aroa and I would would strongly reccomend sailing with them. I felt very welcome safe and comfortable throughout the holiday and nothing was too much trouble. When not sailing we enjoyed hiking and other events that we all enjoyed. The Azores are fantastic too.
