David was very organised and managed to do a smooth check-in quickly, explained well all the nuances of the boat. I was impressed by many things on that boat: Elan 434 is generally quite comfortable, bed linen is a pleasant thing (a rare thing for northern sailing), webasto was working properly – we were not […]

We had a wonderful time on board Cloud Nine.  David was a great skipper with endless knowledge about the area we were sailing in.  Getting a better tour guide would be difficult.  His sailing and seamanship were excellent. Sir Chay Blyth

A fabulous week on Cloud Nine. Stunning weather, unbelievable scenery, whales, dolphins, bird life and delicious fresh sea food all enhanced by the relaxed but skilful skippering from David whose knowledge of the islands is second to none. Thank you for such a memorable experience. Nigel Lewers May 2019.

David, I would like to thank you for a great week sailing and for looking after me while i was on your boat. I had great time and enjoyed it. I look forward to using you next year. Best Regards Jason
