Mahana Guest Reviews

Previous Yacht NameHélia 44
Andreas Pollmeier

´I went sailing with Lutz (skipper) from Lisbon to Madeira and Tenerife. I can fully confirm the reviews that have been written so far. What I would like to emphasize is that every sailing maneuver was discussed in detail and Lutz put an above-average amount of trust in the crew. Lutz is not just a sailor, he adapted to the crew whether they were going ashore or fishing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lutz.´

Frank & Jenny Wagner

´We spent a few days sailing with Lutz and Jana on the Mahana from Tenerife. We came with no sailing experience and felt safe and well looked after. Mahana is superbly equipped. We were able to get involved straight away and learned a lot. Skipper Lutz explained everything to us and answered all of our many questions. Jana looked after us excellently, she is a great host. We had great sailing days together and many wonderful experiences on board and also on our shore excursions together. We would like to thank you for the wonderful time and would love to come back.´
