      Mr Ravi took us kayaking and made sure we had a great time. He took good photos and even helped us have a friendly race without compromising safety. The constant noise of speed boats near by is the only thing that made me reduce a star

      I just did my intro to solo sailing course at Pondicherry Yacht Club. I am incredibly thankful for Filio and Anjali who has created such an accessible place for people to get into sailing. The instructors at the club were extremely knowledgeable in the sport and more importantly patient and kind to pass on to the knowledge to the beginners. Ashish and Nitesh are incredible instructors and really sparked a passion for sailing in me, even though I am a new baby in this sport. They left me with tips on how I can improve my skills and how to get opportunities to practice later. Thank you Laxman and Sathish for showing us around on the big sail boat and explaining patiently how everything worked on a bigger sail boat. I can't express my gratitude enough for the opportunity and experience. I leave with a skill that I can keep practicing for life. Thank you Pondicherry Yacht Club family A grateful baby sailor
