Henk was so pleasant and nice! Very easy to contact. The boat was a nice size for a group of 4!
So glad we did this! Captain Yuri and Steward Albina were great. The boat is beautiful with a bedroom, seating area, kitchen and bath on the lower deck with a table and bench at the back. The forward part of the boat is a great place to lay down, feel the wind, and see the views. Simple safety briefs were done. Albina made sure we wanted for nothing as she attentively served food and drink we brought aboard throughout the trip. Overall, this was a great way to spend an afternoon with family.
Captain Kevin and his First Mate Chris were great. This is a sailboat-trimaran, not a yacht, but they made it feel like one. Outside of a small mishap/delay with the head, we had a BLAST once we got underway. Ask Captain about his excursions to Antarctica and Chris about his Olympian feats and you will be in for some great stories.
They are incredibly responsive when communicating. We had another Captain from another boat we were considering who was an unprofessional idiot, so having such strong communication with this boat crew was a breath of fresh air.
They had a huge cooler, which held drinks and snacks for 5 adults easily. Our trip to the inlet/sandbar was awesome. Plenty of room below deck to store bags and clothes during the crossing, and the ladder in/out of the water is very helpful for swimming.
Room for improvement (which we discussed):
Definitely have to sort the bathroom/head situation out.
It was fun! We loved our captain !
JUST PERFECT !
My wife and I, along with another couple chose Janise because the owners seemed very helpful in providing an overview of the day and what to expect. From the moment we booked, the communication was excellent, the directions and the driver suggestions were perfect and the arrival was smooth. When we boarded, the crew was extremely professional and courteous. They explained everything very well and provided ample direction on the boat and its features. Once we were on the water and left port, the sailing met every expectation one could expect.
Simply put, If you're looking for the perfect day, sail on the Janise. The boat, captain and crew are why we will go back. The views and locations are some of the worlds best.
