Reviews

“Alex and Phil - thank you for your hard work, good humour and positive attitude”

Clare Elliot, Quality Time

“A big thank you for setting up and taking the Day Skipper Theory Course which I enjoyed very much”

Alasdair Molloy, BBCYC

Sea for Yourself helped us to plan and carry out a very complex and challenging live sequence on the Thames. The broadcast was a huge success, thanks in no small part to Alex and Phil’s professionalism, efficiency and friendliness.

John Maguire, BBC Correspondent

“It was a stunning trip on the river with a sunset thrown in and Phil and Alex were the perfect hosts”

Sue, Chiswick
