Perfect combo of learning and enjoying

In June, I spent a week sailing with Karl on his boat, the Wild Rover of Dart, along the beautiful Turkish Mediterranean coast around Kekova. Karl is very experienced and well organized. He’s always happy to explain how everything works and answers any questions. He encourages you to take the helm and offers clear guidance, e.g. when carrying out maneuvers together. Conversations flowed easily. We naturally fell into a good rhythm and shared the tasks on board without needing to plan much. Even though Karl lives on the boat, you immediately feel like part of life on board—not just a guest. He knows the area incredibly well, which meant we got to explore amazing snorkeling spots and enjoy some lovely short hikes. Thanks again Karl for sharing your floating home and ypur knowledge—an unforgettable experience!

life changing.

I spent a week on Karl's boat the "Wild Rover of Dart" and let me tell you, it was awesome. We sailed from Finike, Turkey, to Kas, and it was one of the best experiences i've ever had. I was skeptical at first, being a 20 year old sheltered, culture shocked kid from Canada, but the more i talked with Karl online and during our trip, i came to realize what a great guy he is. Karl taught me so much about the world of sailing and taught me as many skills as he could during the week i was there. The only regret i have is that i couldnt have stayed longer. I hope I can come back out in the future so i can learn more and buy my own boat one day. If you're seeing this Karl, i want to thank you for taking the time to teach me, and for the advice you gave me on a topic you and I are very passionate about. If you ever have the opportunity to sail with Karl, i recommend doing so as soon as you can.

Exciting 10 days on "Rover"

I spent 10 days sailing with Karl across turkish coast in october - november 2023. It was a great pleasure sailing with Karl, I learned a lot of new things from him like snorkeling, rowing and even got my first 3 hours of night time sailing. He also cooks very well no need to visit restaurants :) If you want to gain new experience and spend time with pleasure then join Karl - don't miss your opportunity

Relax in Turkey

If you prefer silence and uncrowded anchorages, then know that Karl is the same as you in preferences. Comprehensively developed interlocutor with vast life experience. Prepares very tasty meals. The captain has top qualifications, and also knows how to transfer knowledge to a student. If you dream of sailing around the world and life on a boat, then you are in luck. The Rover is a safe, thick-walled long-keel boat that can take you anywhere in the world, and the captain knows how to do it economically and safely. Professionals know how to solve a difficult situation, but Karl goes one step ahead - he anticipates such situations.

Learnt a lot

I spent about two weeks sailing on Wild rover with Karl. He's very experienced with sailing and teaching, and he took me onboard despite the fact I had no experience. I learned a lot in our time and I couldn't have asked for a better person to learn from. Karl is insanely patient, calm, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip! :)

Sailing with Wild Rover

I have just spent one week crewing with him and it was an amazing experience. Even though I had no sailing experience with a big boat, Karl took me onboard his home and I couldn’t feel more welcomed, he taught me so much in so little time. Thanks a lot, Karl, I enjoyed every second we shared together!

Perfect start into sailing for me

I spent a great week this May with Karl. His boat is in a very, tidy and good condition, I always felt safe there. I don't have so much sailing experience and Karl patiently explained me everything and answered all my questions on his boat, yachting in general and being a liveabord. I'd recommend him to anyone! Thanks Karl
