Testimonials

Luxurious and hardy yacht. Enjoyed my 10 days sailing from the roaring 40's to Cape Town. Captain Kirk and Co-skipper Tor were lovely and enjoyed sailing with them. If you're lucky you'll enjoy the excellent food cooked by the land crew that's in the freezer.

Hareen De Silva, Former General Practitioner at National Health Service

Beautiful and comfortable yacht, extremely competent and happy Captain and crew, but what makes Urchin sailing truly stand apart is their heart. Stuart and Charlie make you feel at home with their sincere kindness and yacht-spitality. The only reason I am sad to not be spending 8 more days at sea is I won’t be enjoying their delightful company. Thanks for a great trip.

Megan Dalton, Gough Island Restoration Project
