How wonderful it is !

乘著風出海，可以看到小海豚，幸運的話還有海獅和企鵝?，雖然海風很冷但在船上喝著熱飲尋找這些可愛生物，船長這一趟很值得！

Relaxing and rewarding

Very enjoyable experience. Crew are easygoing and friendly. Saw the dolphins several times. Well worth it. Very relaxing return journey with the sails billowing.

Wonderful afternoon sailing

We loved our afternoon sailing on the Fox II, the wind was up enough for all sails and we saw lots of wildlife.
