Magnifique voilier de 45 pieds, Valparaiso, Viña del Mar et Concón.

From the moment Germán started communicating through the app, we knew we had made the right choice for the highlight of our Chilean vacation. Our time on Yate Ike was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The boat is spacious at 45 feet. Most sailing boats are around 33 feet, but this one easily takes the prize as the largest we’ve ever sailed on. It even has two masts! The size ensures incredible stability—I get seasick often, even on car rides, and not once did I feel nauseous. The electric toilet was another huge comfort—we didn’t have to deal with the smelly, cramped spaces common on other boats. This boat combines creature comforts with an experience that is still affordable. The smooth ride is a credit to both the boat and Germán. He is people-focused, patient, and attentive, making the trip enjoyable even for those of us with limited sailing experience. Our lessons started right away, beginning with the dinghy fundamentals and safety brief, and we even got to drive the dinghy ourselves. Germán had researched the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) program so our diesel lesson could count toward our RYA hours—a thoughtful touch. He also went above and beyond with warm snacks, coffee, and even printed a photo of us on the boat while we were still sailing. Every detail showed his pride in his boat and his dedication to giving guests an amazing experience. With an incredible boat and an even more amazing captain, I strongly encourage anyone to take the time to relax, enj
