I and my wife have taken an Introduction to Sailing lesson from Andre and we highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to try sailing or interested to just have a great time cruising. Not only we had a fantastic time on the water, but have received a good experience handling the sail boat, given that it was our very first time. Andre is very knowledgeable and can explain everything in a very calm and friendly way.

I want to say thank you to Andre for an amazing experience!
I sailed with Andre a few times.
I highly recommend him and his team. If it is your first time, you feel safe to go anywhere with such a captain, knowledgeable sailor. The trips are fun and very well organized. It’s a pleasure to spend time with a professional with an amazing personality and great sense of humour. Looking forward to a new adventure !

I had a great pleasure taking Ontario Lake Tour with experiences, friendly and very patient Andre Rio!

Thank you Andre for your knowledgeable lessons, fun and smooth sailing tour with it’s incredible views of our Beautiful city!
Highly recommend Andre and the team of The Ocean Tribe for all their tours! Looking forward to the next adventure!

I had the privilege of taking beginners sailing classes and tours of Lake Ontario with Andre Reo in the past years.

Andre is a very knowledgeable and passionate sailor, very patient with his students, which was very helpful and encouraging to me as a beginner. He explains not only what needs to be done, but also why it needs to be done this way, expanding the comprehension of sailing art.

Andre has a considerable sailing experience and he is very warm, approachable and joyful, making the sailing class an exciting experience.

I highly recommend Andre for sailing classes and sailing tours!

Very professional and awesome team to sail together with, highly recommended for fun sailing and get your skills up to par! 👍

I had the privilege of joining The Ocean Tribe team in March 2022 for an amazing sailing adventure in Guadeloupe and surrounded islands, otherwise inaccessible. It has been one of the best adventurous vacations of my life, full of amazing discoveries and pleasures of sailing with a team of reliable and amazing professionals, unique experiences that nature has to offer: snorkeling, watching amazing wild and uninhabited landscapes, hiking, sailing, swimming, socializing and a million of other things that ocean has to offer.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the organizers, taking care of our most sophisticated wishes, like specially prepared meals, taking care of client's individual needs in a safe and professional manner, based on client-centered approach, professionalism, kindness, human compassion and attention to details, leaving the clients extremely satisfied and happy with the experience.

I am sincerely looking forward to my next ocean adventure with The Ocean Tribe team!!! With much gratitude and appreciation, I highly recommend The Ocean Tribe to everyone, who is looking for unique client-tailored amazing adventure of sailing in the wild.

Amazing trip, positive thinking, exciting itinerary, delicious food, amazing crew, and boat! Will sail again with you Andre!

Our voyage with the Ocean Tribe was incomparable.

Andre and Elena created a safe, effortless, and fun atmosphere where everyone got on swimmingly, despite a clear language barrier. They ensured that we each got to do an activity that would interest us, ate healthy and delicious meals both on and offshore, and had a wonderful time throughout.

I would happily sail with them again and strongly recommend them to anyone looking for an adventure.

For those who seek the path less travelled, the thrill of the sea, and some of the most breathtaking sights, Ocean Tribe offers one of the most unique exploring experiences. Captain Andre's knowledge and passion for the sea translate to smooth sailing, a well planned but flexible itinerary, and the opportunity for anyone to gain hands-on experience in navigating and managing the sea on a sailboat. For those looking to take the water experience a step further, Andre's background as a kiteboarding instructor opens up the possibility to safely experience kiteboarding in some of the best spots in the world. Elena on the other hand is the logistics mastermind, keeping all the crew's wishes at heart and organizing the best experiences for all the guests both onboard and onshore. From coordinating provisioning, to organizing hikes, snorkelling, sightseeing or dining, Elena somehow manages to take away all the guesswork while maximizing the efficient use of time. And finally, Ocean Tribe is not just about creating unique experiences on the ocean, it is about forming the tribe-like friendships between the crew members that will last well beyond the seas.

The Ocean Tribe created a bucket list worthy trip that I was fortunate to experience. The team was flexible with the itinerary to make certain everyone got to enjoy the things they loved doing. Sailing, Kiting, Snorkelling and Exploring were all fitted in. Evenings were spent enjoying delicious food, drinks, good company and laughing.

I would strongly recommend anyone, regardless of their sailing experience who wants to go on a trip of a lifetime connect with the team to find out what upcoming destinations are on the schedule and book themselves a berth.

Looking forward to doing my next trip to an exotic location with The Ocean Tribe soon!

Thank you Ocean Tribe for an awesome Antigua adventure! This trip was very well organized: An itinerary was planned in advance in consultation with the participants but flexible enough to be modified along the way to accommodate evolving desires and circumstances. We wanted to sail, kitesurf, snorkel, go sightseeing and fish and we got to do it all! Food was mainly planned / prepared by participants and meals were varied and amazing! We also had the opportunity to eat out a few times in order to sample the local fare. Everyone got along really well and new friendships were formed ... Although we were only together for a week, I felt like I had known everyone a lot longer by the end of the trip.

The Ocean Tribe is more than an adventure on the sea! Is more than some time spent in between the waters, clouds and land. Is a transformative experience. Is a life learning about nature, friendship, fun and leadership! Andrei and Elena’s love to sail and explore is so high that is impossible not to fall in love with them and the adventures they put together! Dedicated people that just put their passion into the service of others with grace and love.
Thank you for welcoming me into your tribe, Sailors!

I spend fabulous week and a half in December 2021 sailing in warm waters with breathtaking views of Caribbean islands. Hands down one of the best trips of my life. If you want extraordinary experience living on a boat, sailing from island to island and exploring new lands choose Ocean tribe.
Special thank you to Andre for taking great care of the team!!

My 10 days adventure in St Martin & St Barts, was my best sailing vacation, yet. Andre & Lena are the best at sharing their knowledge and passion for sailing. Beautiful beaches, mountain hikes, ATV tours, fine dining, partying, local creole cuisine, and guitar nights on the boat are amazing. Being a sailor myself, I really enjoyed the passage from St Martin to St Bart's and sailing around Anguilla island. Great job, guys, I am looking forward to joining you again. How about the Indian Ocean?! 😉

It was a magical experience on the boat and exploring the gorgeous places 😻 Thank you so much guys for such a wonderful trip and for being so amazing ❤️

Amazing and experienced crew, the most unique places to sail and great overall experience! Thank you for the most adventurous trip !
