Our stay on board of Pekona was all we were hoping for. If you are thinking of going sailing but have never slept on a boat before this is a perfect way to be introduced to it. Watching the sunset and singing a happy birthday song to our son on the boat was a memory that will always stay with us all. Chris was a wonderful host, very relaxed and generous in everything he did, always asking if needed anything or wanting to use facilities at his house. He was excellent with our children too. The island itself is absolutely breathtaking, we loved kayaking in Bennett Bay and hiking in the woods. Local restaurants serve lovely food and everyone we met was friendly. We would love to come back to the Mayne Island one day and highly recommend Chris and his boat!
