"I started the week with very limited knowledge about sailing but with Pippa’s fantastic teaching and coaching, I have left the yacht feeling very confident and am comfortable with everything I have been taught. Patience and incredible knowledge has made me enjoy the last week and I am really sad to be leaving. I would highly recommend Miramar Sailing to everyone. Thanks for an amazing experience."
