Best experience on a yacht - full stop. Michael’s expertise and planning is second to none. We spent several days together crossing the Mediterranean into Africa, and it will stand out as one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I never once felt unsafe, and more so, I learned a tremendous amount from him every step of the way. If you’re spending a week with Michael, then consider yourself lucky for meeting one of the most interesting and capable people both on the sea and on land. I couldn’t have asked for a better captain, and now friend. He was communicative through the whole process, and we worked quite well together through both challenging and beautiful weather - things can and do go wrong, but it’s all about grace under pressure. The Mediterranean can be unpredictable in the winter, and we took advantage of proper planning against the weather windows, and even adapted as needed. He won’t admit it, but he’s a bit of a celebrity in the yachting space. He’s a salty dog with fans across continents - you should see how people light up when they see him. That’s the hallmark of a truly special individual. I would sail again with Michael in a heartbeat. I can’t emphasize enough what a marvelous experience this was.

I am a very experienced sailor and have sailed extensively in many parts of the world so my critique for our time on Nushen is based on hard experience . My wife and I want to thank Michael for his excellent yacht handling and local knowledge that led to to some fabulous days on the waters between Malta and Sicily on Nushen . Michael was an outstanding skipper and and great host with lots of knowledge and experiences to share . SV-Nushen was in fine order and an excellent ocean capable yacht that Michael was understandably proud of and with lots of further upgrades planned into the future. We look forward to potentially travelling again on SV- Nushen and with Michael into the future and recommend his services highly.
