“Venice Yacht Trip”

Sailing is as random as the weather, but a sailing trip in the lagoon around Venice is pretty much what you'd expect: awesome regardless (we had calm and light gale weather in uncomfortable combination). The skipper was experienced and able to handle the boat with minimal help despite most of the crew being inexperienced sailors. Also he was safety cautious, which for the type of trip I think is appropriate (not all sailing trips should be!) Goldenmoments were organized and flexible and above all pro-active, and this particular trip would make an excellent present for anybody in North East Italy. I wouldn't fly out to Italy just for this excursion, it's not a life changing experience (seeing Venice on foot is the first thing to do), but if you are already in North Italy, or planning to go, or know Venice already and want to do something more adventurous then it is highly recommended. I didn't actually speak to anybody in English, though my understanding is that I could have done. But Italy without some knowledge of Italian (and even with) is always tricky regardless. Not easy to get the dates I wanted at late notice, but I got a good compromise anyway, and I can't fault GM for that. This trip is not for anybody who is afraid of sailing, but is great for couples where one might be a keen sailor and the other might not be. I would have paid twice as much: what more can I say!
