点评:We went on a sailing trip with Sunsail last week. We left out of Roadtown, Tortola. Our captain Gilson Melo met us at the boat and the adventure began. Gilson could tell that we were eager to get going and helped us expedite our trip ASAP.
We took off mid-day, paying the extra fee to leave around noon, which I highly recommend. Gilson was always receptive to our requests in terms of where to go, however ambitious.
Gilson felt more like an onboard friend that could drive the boat versus just a captain. He constantly engaged/hung out with us and was a gem with our children. He snorkeled with us, played beach games and even played guitar one night with my son, who also plays. He also accompanied us on excursions, which was awesome. You need to invite him, as it's not expected.
His captaining skills were amazing! He loved to put up the sails and we loved that. He was also always planning ahead with securing mooring balls for the night and even helping us with restaurant reservations. Again, not expected, but most amazingly welcome.
He also was amazing at reading "the boat." He could tell when the kids were getting squirrelly and would suggest a snorkeling side quest en route to another destination. This was a life saver for everyone.
If you’re considering a Sunsail charter, we cannot recommend Gilson enough. He turned a great trip into one we will never forget. I hope that we can sail with him again in the future!
翻译:上周我们参加了Sunsail的帆船之旅。我们从托尔托拉岛的罗德镇出发。船长吉尔森·梅洛在船上迎接了我们,冒险之旅就此开始。吉尔森看出我们迫不及待地想要出发,便尽力帮我们加快了行程。
我们中午出发,为此支付了额外的费用,以便中午左右出发,我强烈推荐大家也这样做。无论我们想去哪里,吉尔森总是乐于接受我们的任何要求,哪怕是再远的目的地。
吉尔森更像是船上的朋友,他不仅会驾驶帆船,更像一位经验丰富的船长。他总是和我们互动交流,和孩子们相处得非常融洽。他和我们一起浮潜,玩沙滩游戏,甚至有一天晚上还和我的儿子一起弹吉他(我的儿子也会弹吉他)。他还陪我们参加了一些岸上游览活动,真是太棒了!你需要主动邀请他,因为他不会主动邀请。
他的驾驶技术非常出色!他喜欢升帆,我们也喜欢看他掌舵。他总是提前做好计划,比如帮我们安排好夜间的系泊浮标,甚至还帮我们预订餐厅。这完全出乎我们的意料,却让我们惊喜不已。
他也很擅长“察言观色”。他能看出孩子们什么时候开始躁动不安,并会在前往下一个目的地的途中建议我们去浮潜。这真是帮了我们所有人的大忙。
如果您正在考虑租用Sunsail的游艇,我们强烈推荐Gilson。他让一次原本就很棒的旅行变成了一段我们永生难忘的回忆。希望将来有机会能再次与他一起航行!
