We recently chartered a sail through the Thimble Islands with Eric on his beautiful sailboat Nomade to scatter my husband’s ashes on the Sound with our friends and family. Eric made the day truly magical. The event was everything I could have asked for and more. I can’t say enough about the ease of communication coordinating our event with him as well as the entire afternoon. He was so accommodating, made us all feel like family and gave us a wonderful memory - and sail - that will stay with us forever. Nomade was the perfect venue for our event and Eric was the perfect host, whom we all now consider a friend. I am forever grateful.

I emailed Eric with a unique request asking if our group of 2 couples could do an evening sail with dinner on the boat and stay overnight. I fully expected that my idea would be too expensive to make a reality, but Eric responded quickly, and offered a plan to sail to the Thimble Islands, including allowing us to stay alone on his beautiful boat overnight! We moored in a secluded cove at dusk and he guided us through parts of the boat we’d need before riding off in the dinghy to stay with friends. We thoroughly enjoyed Eric’s company but it was very exciting to feel like the boat was ours for a night. It was like a little slice of heaven: eating dinner under the stars listening to music, watching the sun rise, and swimming in the cove in the morning. The whole experience felt serendipitous and we all left wishing for more. Couldn’t recommend sail-works more highly.
