Champagne Hippy Guest Reviews
Charter Feedback: 21 August (Alesund, Norway) - 28 August (Bergen, Norway) 2024
We could have sunk in storms, winds and torrential rain...
We could have sunk into the sordid drunkenness of a novice sailor...
But...
Josh, our courageous captain, sailed us between splendid islands
GI, our attentive chef, has taken us on a voyage through ever-changing culinary landscapes
Julia, our daily sunshine, made us float in the soft comfort normally found only in the Caribbean...
In short, it was an unforgettable week.
Thanks to all 3 of you and to the Norwegians
Charter Feedback: 27 July (Bergen, Norway) - 6 August (Bergen, Norway) 2024
Thank you so much for an amazing cruise in the Norwegian Fjords!
Sailing with you in such magic landscapes has just been awesome!
Your kindness, sense of service and exquisite cuisine made the trip unforgettable- I heard the Olympics in Paris were spectacular but I can´t believe anybody had a better experience than our family in Norway.
Charter Feedback: 25 February (Antigua) - 01 March (St Marteen) 2024
And now it’s about time to leave CHAMPAGNE HIPPY and go back to reality. What a trip, what an amazing collection of adventures and souvenirs thanks to the crew.
We have been treated like princes and princesses from A to Z. Harry is crying in his room which means that a lot of emotions are there, it is hard to leave this amazing boat and fantastic team.
Each single day surprised us, always something new to discover, something to learn. I’ve had great sailing, many thanks to Josh for this for your kindness and always being calm and patient with our hyperactive boys.
Thanks for the fishing festival, from big tunas to the ‘potential’ great white who cut the line!!
It was 9 days of pure paradise, cruising with you peacefully through these beautiful islands.
Amazing breakfast, royal pancakes, Japanese nights, Milkshakes and “Pincheling” contests will be in our heads for a long time … until we come back?!
Our family has been blessed; we are flying back with stars in our heads.
Enjoy your (super) quick rest, and we wish you the best to come.
