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!!

Just wanted to pass on my thanks again for a wonderful trip last week. The group were great fun. The crew were utterly amazing – Shaun the chef was outstanding. Este and toby brilliant and Seb was exceptional. If you ever need help with deliveries I would be more than happy to volunteer, already missing the sea! Take care.

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.

Had an excellent holiday on Blue Clipper

I have had the most fantastic time aboard “Blue Clipper”!  The crew were absolutely amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them.  Although I do volunteer “work”  I was still surprised to discover that some the crew are volunteers.  The care by all of the crew of the guests was phenomenal.   I am now 70 (we sailed on my birthday) and had never sailed before but I was not made to feel inadequate.  Our skipper Grace was marvellous and had us in stiches most of the time! I have not laughed like I did for so many years – it was like turning the clock back!

My cabin was spacious, very comfortable and the food wonderful.  Also, being able to make ourselves a hot drink when we wanted was good as it felt like we were part of the team.  No formality led to a terrific atmosphere on board.  We didn’t experience much wind so sailing under sail power was limited but when we did it was most exciting!  Visits off the ship by transporting us on the RIB was also great fun and the care given to ensure safe movement of us all was very impressive!

After being in lockdown, I must say for me, it was very special to be in a cheery group of people both crew and guests, which helped one get things in perspective. Wish I could have stayed for longer! Captain Chris and his lovely crew were absolutely wonderful. The food was top notch, Chef Alex scored a hit with everyone for his outstanding meals.

Accommodation was very comfortable and clean.

I was extremely well looked after by all of the crew without exception.
