"Jan is not only a highly skilled and experienced sailor and skipper, but also an extremely pleasant person and a perfect host. The sailboat is spacious, practical, and equipped with all modern tools. We sailed across the Mediterranean to Corsica, Sardinia, and Elba Island, in varying weather conditions. The boat was always safe and comfortable at sea. Jan is very hands-on, always ensuring the sails are perfectly trimmed, and never hesitates to share his knowledge. Rating: 10/10 😀"

"An unforgettable day sailing in late July 2025. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to the south of France. We sailed around the beautiful Îles du Frioul and anchored in one of the breathtaking calanques for swimming. The crystal-clear water was incredible and having lunch on board while surrounded by such natural beauty was simply magical. I wholeheartedly recommend Jan’s services to anyone visiting Marseille. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a complete beginner, you'll have an amazing time."

"In May 2025, we had the pleasure of experiencing an amazing sailing trip in the Mediterranean. We departed from our home port in Marseille and sailed along the French Riviera, stopping at places such as Saint-Maxime, Cannes, and the scenic island of Porquerolles. Each destination had its own charm, from lively coastal towns to crystal-clear coves and beautiful walking paths. On board, the atmosphere was relaxed, and Jan always ensured that both safety and comfort were a priority. The combination of his expertise, the excellent boat, and a well-planned itinerary made the trip an unforgettable experience. I can warmly recommend sailing with Jan—it’s an experience that impresses, inspires, and creates lifelong memories."

"An unforgettable sailing holiday in the Mediterranean. We started our journey in Pisa and then sailed to Elba, where we spent a few wonderful days, before continuing on to Nice. Along the way, we experienced both charming harbors and secluded, crystal-clear coves. "Dream One" is a very well-equipped and comfortable boat, and it sails beautifully. Jan is a highly experienced sailor who is happy to share his knowledge. The trip exceeded all our expectations—a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and discovery."
