My Day Skipper Sail course in June 2021 with Seven Seas was a wonderful experience. 
I particurarly liked the attention that Angelo place on each of the participants' individual needs. I found both the theoretical and practical sessions very helpful and I enjoyed the beautiful trip around the Cyclades with all my heart!

Keep up the good work guys!
