The time with Simon has been the best I’ve had in NZ.
We worked great together. I planted my first palm-tree in my life and water the avocados. And in his beautiful house we prepared walls for painting. After that I cleaned the windows.

Frederikke
Is a very easy person to have as crew, no problems with her at all, always able to do what ever jobs was asked, and although she had limited sailing experience before joining, she proved to be good and reliable, and able to steer the boat well. She is a very relaxed and easy going person.

I stayed with Simon on his boat Julie Marie for 1 week and it was so cool!
Thank you very much Simon, the kiwi man of all the oceans. It was really good to discover more about sailing, life on a boat, calm life and beauty of the sea. We also saw some dolphins playing with the boat in my first day, magic!!
Simon is very kind, cultivated,… read more

Had a great time with Simon sailing from England to the south of France. Taught me a lot and gave me plenty of time at the helm. When we weren't sailing we had a lot of fun and some great conversations. Would recommend and would definitely sail again with him again.
