My husband and I hosted a 3 hour sunset cruise for 5 friends to help celebrate our anniversary on a 40 foot sailboat, one of the ONDECK OCEAN CRUSING BOATS last week and it was a wonderful time. Our female captain, Captain NICKY and Mate KIMO were fantastic and very professional and helped make it a perfect outing. They even... More

Booked via our Royal Clipper cruise. Perfect organisation, great crew - Annette and Nicky - AND we won our race (against Nicky's boyfriend's boat!) Their relaxed attitude and composure and friendliness took away ALL of the fears I had about the trip. A brilliant way to spend a couple of hours with a VERY welcome rum punch at the end!Thank...

Fun and exciting. Even with the rain coming down which actually made it a bit more realistic. You can be ballast or you can participate. Either way it's a great time! More

Great weekend - sailed to Montserrat (4 hours) and back (5.5 hours) for the Volcano Marathon. Most of us stayed 2 nights at Old Sugar Mill. 3 of the crew stayed on the boat - a Farr 65. What a great croud from OnDeck - Peter, Rory, Ash, Verity. Very professional but good humour and happy to pass on their... More

I spent about three weeks in total with ondeck and onshore in Antigua. The first week involved doing a RYA Competent Crew course followed by a long weekend ashore, a flight to Barbados and the subsequent 7-day Hidden Caribbean feeder cruise. I started off as a semi-competent day sailor with limited experience of sailing by the wind, although I had... More

I originally booked my sailing trip from Montserrat to Antigua, because I figured it would be more interesting than flying, and I think the ferry wasn’t running when I was there. I was in for quite a surprise when I realized I need to hold on during the ride. While I was expecting to enjoy it, I didn’t think I’d... More

Fantastic Shore Excursion with Ondeck Racing Team. My wife and I were the only 2 from our ship (Norwqegian Dawn - October 22 - 31, 2010) to sign up for the excursion. But the Ondeck crew took us on a 3 hour personal adventure that included sailing lessons for us beginners and plenty of time at the helm. Captain Nikki... More

My girlfriend and I joined the "Spirit of Diana" on Saturday 16th January for the one week Hidden Caribbean Cruise. We enjoyed a warm welcome from the station manager and then by the skipper Mark and the first mate Rory. First impressions did not lie: after 10 minutes the crew and all the guests were enjoying some beers at sunset... More

I spent a week on an OnDeck racing yacht and it was just fantastic. The sailing was great! It was amazing to live and sail in a performance yacht built for round-the-world racing, with some interesting history (don't ask Dee Caffari about her finger!) The accommodation was basic but sufficient, just as you'd expect from an ocean racer, and that... More
