Ich hab am Anfang, wie es vermutlich viele tun, die Rezessionen Gelesen und war mir dann unsicher. Jetzt kann ich mich der Meinung der Mehrheit anschließen! Eine fantastische Crew, Mega schnorchelspots, super essen und das beste: es war authentisch und richtig familiär. Mit insgesamt 20 Personen (Crew + Besucher) war es eine super Gruppengröße. Der Kapitän, der hier so oft bemängelt wird, ist ebenfalls super und zu loben. Auf jedenfall werde ich diese Tour weiterempfehlen und evtl in ein paar Jahren nochmal machen. At the beginning I read the Rezessionen and felt doubtful but know after the trip I have the same opinion than the mayority. It was a amazing crew, beautiful snorkeling spots and good food. It was authentic, familial and unique. The skipper is great like his crew and a really good man. I will definitely recommend this tour and maybe if I’ll come back in a few years, I do it again.
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit auf Kevs Segelboot! Das Essen war super und die Atmosphäre sehr familiär
Es war unser erster Segeltrip und wir können wirklich fast ausnahmslos nur Positives berichten. Der gesamte Trip war perfekt durchgeplant, es gab wirklich reichlich zu essen und sowohl der Ausflug zum Whitehaven Beach als auch zu den Schnorchel Buchten haben uns unglaublich gut gefallen. Die Whitsundays sind echt ein Traum! Die einzige Sache, unter der wir etwas zu leiden hatten, war die stickigen Kajüte,was aber nunmal einfach dazu gehört, wir aber einfach nicht gewohnt waren. Dazu dann noch ein (Gott sei Dank leichter) Wellengang und einem wird schwindelig und man kommt ins Schwitzen. Wer aber soweit Seefest ist, sollte dich den Trip nicht entgehen lassen :) vor allem weil er hier auf bookme wirklich so günstig ist wie sonst nirgendwo
Ich habe mich sehr gut an Board von Kevs wunderbarem Schiff aufgehoben gefühlt! Kev und die Crew haben wirklich ihr bestes gegeben um uns eine authentische und angenehme aussie Segeltour zu einem der schönsten Orte der Welt zu bescheren. Das Essen war frisch und wirklich gut! Ich war überrascht, dass auf alle besonderen Essgewohnheiten eingegangen wurde und das Essen sowohl für Vegetarier als auch für Veganer war sehr lecker! Man schläft unter Deck in einem großen Raum mit allen zusammen. Es gibt dabei aber sogar auch Doppelbetten für Paare und obwohl ich erst skeptisch war, konnte ich hervorragend schlafen! Nachts haben wir am Schiff Schildkröten und große Quallen gesehen und sogar ein Delfin kam uns besuchen. Außerdem sieht man den schönsten Sternenhimmel! Die Schnorchelspots am nächsten Tag waren wirklich schön und ich bin mit einer Meeresschildkröte geschwommen. Es war ein fabelhafter Trip und ich kann es nur empfehlen!

Billig
Billig, was sich letztendlich in der Reise wiederspiegelt. Für so eine Fahrt ist der spartanische Schlafplatz für Backpacker das kleinere Problem. Der Kapitän ist aber sehr launisch und voller Klischees, man hat deshalb kein besonders gutes Gefühl auf dem Schiff. Habe das F-Wort in meinem ganzen Leben noch nicht so oft gehört wie an diesen 3 Tagen. Er selbst nennt es authentisch. Essen hat immer gut gereicht, Besuchsorte waren sehr schön, beim Schnorcheln gab es aber nicht viel zu sehen - auch für geübte nicht.
