Matthieu, Sophie and their family were wonderful passengers! Very friendly, communicative and overall lovely to have on board! I hope they book with us again next time they are in NY. Thank you!
I have to say that Julian and Carlos are the ultimate. I am definitely going to rent from them again. The boat is extremely spacious. We had 12 guests total and everyone had an amazing time. Mostly we spent time outside. There was more than enough space to grill, dance, and drink in the sun. The owner is a very responsive and professional captain. He knew exactly where to take us and was open to our ideas as well. In conclusion, I rented the boat so my friends and I could have a good time and exceeded everyone's expectations. When I come back down to Miami I'm definitely booking another fun day in the sun with Julian and Carlos.
The Albury 23 is an awesome boat, legendary even. I’ve rented Tom’s boat many times. Tom is absolutely terrific to work with. As for the Albury 23 “Risky B” at 23 feet it rides better than most 25-27 footers, truth be told it’s simple it pays to buy QUALITY. This boat has a solid hull, great sea keeping ability, weather in head seas or following seas you feel secure. This boat always turns heads. It’s got a traditional look coupled with modern design and performance. So very economical to run too, I’ve had a full day of activities with 5 people onboard and maybe 30 gallons of fuel. The engine is quite, smooth and responsive. This is by far one of the best 23 footers ever. I highly recommend Tom and the Albury 23 “Risky B”.

My renter takes excellent care of my boat. I brought this account over from c ruzin/ boatsetter because of the way
they did not answer emails and tried to add a ctr a charges.
Graham is responsible for charting out both my Alburybrothers 20 & 23, looking forward to more easy rentals , w/o all the computer sign up crassness.
By the my renter will be sending a story on how with Graham getting Insurance done on time for me to rent Guy my Albury 23 to be out fishing on rough Atlantic Ocean Dec 26, he heard the cries for help from a family , mom dad, and daughter in panic that was lost by a commercial dive boat, adrift going north in gulfstream. He had the boat to go into action, pulling up fishing lines, h e and crew went to their rescue. Using the Albury strong swim platform they safely
got 3 divers and tank gear aboard and back to dive boat.
Being a diver using a Hobie 16 with inexperience sailors, I have had to swim 1/2 mile to shore in flat water and it exhausting to say the least
By the way anytime Guy calls to rent my Albury, it is fine with me in case I do not get back with you all.
Thanks to Graham for getting all insurance done etc. for me to bring Ray and Murray to Sailo for 100 day charter on my Albury 20, making their third year of chartering that boat for 100 days.
My family is still talking about our "Black Friday" 2015 sailing excursion while they were visiting NYC for the holidays. Captain David was skilled not only at sailing, but offered us very interesting stories and history as we sailed the Hudson and East River. So fun. Also, the Hinckley boat was simply spectacular! Every aspect of our day was "ship-shape" start to finish! Glorious experience!
