Das Boot und die Crew waren 1A, das Essen war reichlich und gut, überwiegend junge Leute verschiedener Länder, viele interessante Gespräche. Trotz durchwachsenem und bewölkten Wetter mit einigen kurzen Regenschauern, waren die Bedingungen letztendlich perfekt, weil es nicht zu heiß war. Dennoch gab es Kandidaten für einen Sonnenbrand. Wir waren die ersten am frühen Morgen bei Whitehaven Beach, dank unseres Kapitäns und konnten so ungestörte Aufnahmen vom Strand machen. Auf jeden Fall ein empfehlenswerter Trip! :)
Hi Markus, Thanks for the pictures and the review, it was a pleasure having you on our tour, Nothing Beats Whitehaven Beach at breakfast! stay safe and see you again soon. Crew from Freight Train
Hi Phillip cheers for the review and we hope to see you baCk this way again one day .
Wir haben die Zeit auf Kevs Boot sehr genossen! Alles wie in der Beschreibung, 3 Schnorchel Spots und lookout mit Whitehaven beach :) essen war immer reichlich da! Es ist Kevs eigenes Boot, weshalb er sich sehr darum bemüht, seinen Gästen eine tolle Zeit zu bieten. Wir würden die Tour jedem weiterempfehlen. Der Sternenhimmel und der Sonnenaufgang an Bord waren unglaublich. Und wie viele schon schreiben, man ist morgens fast als erstes am wunderschönen Strand! Thank you Kev!
The captain Kevin and his girls are the perfect crew ! Had a lot of fun :) Whithaven Beach and the last snorkeling spot were awesome ! We saw "Nemo" and some turtles :) Fraight Train isn't a big company with marketing and all the other bullshit who charges a lot of money! It is just Kevin and his crew, so support the small family business and enjoy your trip in a small group with great people :)
Hi Daniel thanks so much for you review, its always a good day when you swim with nemo and a turtle :) i will let kev now your a new marketing manger :) take care buddy

Low Budget Segeltörn, man sollte also nicht zuviel erwarten. Die Matratzen sind z.T. sehr alt und nicht sehr sauber. Kev ist ein richtiger Spaßvogel, jedenfalls denkt er das von sich. Sein Humor und der Umgangston sind eher mangelhaft bzw. rustikal. Seine beiden Mädels, die als Crew mitsegeln, waren zu uns Reisenden nicht besonders freundlich. Und private Probleme werden dann gerne lautstark diskutiert anstatt mal die eine oder andere Frage zu beantworten oder zu informieren. Das Essen ist Fertigfras und die Crew macht sich auch gerne mal etwas anderes.
