About

Hi Jan and Ross,
I just wanted to thank you guys for an amazing "au Natural" adventure around the beautiful Whitsunday islands on a super stylish yatch. Your friendliness and courtesy was appreciated. Above all your professional and concern for our safety the entire trip was comforting.
I so enjoyed being able to help Ross with the ropes, anchor and mooring hook (awesome "A" team we became). Also helping with the sails and steering made for a hands on holiday that was very enjoyable.
I wish I could come along for everytrip, but will have to make do with one or two a year. Take care guys and see you soon!!

My second sailingtrip and 5 nights longer then the previous. Had a real good time and enjoyed the team work. Go with the flow as weather conditions are always changing when on sea. Great to meet all those nationalities on board and Jan-Willem was a great skipper. We even had Haute Cuisine for lunch and dinner due to the excellent skills of Michel. Enjoyed my trip to the fullest. Thanks all.

We have just completed a fantastic trip to Croatia with a group of amazing people. This trip totally exceeded our expectations in every way. Some pointers to future people wanting to sail, be flexible, open to everything and the more you join in the more fun you will have! Jan- Willem is an amazing skipper and knows his stuff – we booking again that is for sure!

Thanks Jan for a great trip! Jan expertly and successfully managed to navigate a group of guys with big personalities, passions and desires. Our never ending expectations and wishes were always met! From long swims in between islands, to freshen up swims attached to a rope, swims and sunbathing in beautiful bays, sunset cocktails on land and at sea, nude beach fires and even a nude religious experience on a beach; and even organizing that our last night was in a beautiful bay away from Athens - priceless! The list is quite endless! Each of our ever demanding requests were always met with a smile and only ever turned down if there was a 100% risk of death (e.g. swimming in front of a flying dolphin). For this, and I think I speak for all, we are very grateful for it truly was a wonderful week.

I have been on tha boat with Jan-Willem the third time now - this time in Thailand. I like the atmosphere of sharing - especially good times: On a boat you are free to do whatever you like - far away from anything especially mass tourism!. What I liked most about each trip is the dynamic of groups - the way Jan-Willem handles it and the mixture of freedom and safety. I love to be a Saltyboy!

Had a supergroovy trip!! Thanks guys!

In june 2012 I spent two weeks on a Saltyboys boat in Greece. To be short: a great experience. Jan is a very experienced skipper. Even though we took off with beaufort 8 or 9 - and I was scared at first - I totally felt at ease after I realised he really knows what he's doing. The company was also perfect. Who knew being on holiday with a bunch of strangers can be so much fun. Thanks again to you all, folks!

I am writing this over a month after I sailed with Saltyboys and I am still fully charged and energized with the experience.
I took the trip through Cyclades in Greece with 6 other lovely guys and Jan himself and I had the time of my life, The scenery, the weather, the sea, the boat, the food and last but by no means the least, the company was awesome!
Jan is great. He is polite, patient and accomodating and best of all calm which helps a lot for people like me who had no prior sailing experince. The sailing experience was amazing. The sea was windy and the ride bumpy and despite the fact that I have a huge phobia of swimming in open waters (I am a good swimmer otherwise), I had a great time.
and eventhough, I shared a relatively small space with a bunch of others, everyone respected my space and privacy and I got my daily dose of "me time" during the trip.
The crowd in the boat was also very homogeneous!! (no pun intended!!) so being nude ( I am a hardcore nudist) was neither a problem nor awkward !!!
Did I mention there was eye candy galore in the boat? including the skipper himself!!! Sorry Jan, I had to somehow mention that! lol
I, not only very strongly recommend him (Saltyboys) and his trips but will definitely join in on another adventure again. Bottomline is he has a lot of experience and knows what he is doing and is calm and collected at all times.
Thanks again, Jan!
