We made our sailing on 07/2020 with howard on the boat ''LIOR''.
first of all the telephone contact with the skipper howard was very clear and instructable, we received all the details about the conditions and the possibility of dates and hours. secondly, we felt immediatly that the skipper have experiences and concern about safety that was important for us.
we where 4 adults and 1 child 3 years old and we received a life jaket at the size of the child.
we had the oppurtunity to visit the boats before the trip on the marina herzliya.
tje sailling itself was really pleasant and with ideal conditions of weather and wind that gave us the possibility to navigate with the sail open.
unfotunatly two adults a the child suffered from motion sickness because of lack of anticipation from us (we should give them a medecine before to minimise that lije scopolamin patch or dramamin).
despite that the skipper howard give us all the patience and the attention and wa very kind with the sick peaple. we vomit everywhre but he did not let us take care of that and arrange everything by himself.
he insist about to complete the time of sailing that was expecting and we finished the travel in more calm water inside the marina.
he took care of us with also giving us to operate some cordage and navigation under his supervision.
we highly recommend this company and this skiper especially for ahos wanted to enjoy the sea.

On a recent visit to Herzliya we booked a 2 hour sunset cruise with Howard Clayman of Sailing Israel. We were six people including 2 young children. Wht a wonderful experience it was. He headed out of the marina right on time and once out in the Mediterranean enjoyed 90 minutes of sailing on windpower alone while watching a perfect sunset followed by spectacular views of the night lights of Tel Aviv and Herzliya. Howard was informative and interesting and was wonderful with the children. We toasted the sunset with a complimentary bottle of white wine provided. Highly recommended and we would book it again next time we spend time in Herzliya.

Although Howard was away on the day we sailed, our group of 11 seasoned hockey players had a magnificent sunset sail in freshening winds. The arrangements were made on relatively short notice (possible, perhaps, in the off-season) and Mark Abrahamson served admirably as our skipper in Howard's absence! We dropped sails for a fun and refreshing swim before witnessing the sun's return to its garage for the night. Definitely a fine way to spend an afternoon if you get the chance!

Howard was an exceptional skipper and provided us with a phenomenal sailing experience. The day of, he advised us hours before about what to expect on the cruise and the forecast and water and weather conditions. We were so excited we extended our time by an extra hour and Howard was extremely accommodating and flexible with us on all fronts. He was very friendly and and his instruction was easy to understand and fun. He was a wealth of knowledge, happily fielding our many seafaring questions. Overall, it was a fantastic, casual and enjoyable way to experience the Mediterranean. Highly recommend!!! Whether you are a first time sailor wanting to learn “the ropes” or just want to Have a relaxing beautiful sunset cruise, You’ll be in great hands with Howard! Can’t wait to book our next sail!

Sailing the Mediterranean has been always a dream for my son, my sister, and I. Howard made it possible during our recent trip from New York. Not only he gave valuable lessons to my 13 year old who’s an experienced sailor (and his friends), but he made decisions that allowed us to take full advantage of this all day adventure. Highly recommend Howard and his company to take you out in this historically important part of the world. It was AWESOME!

We had a fantastic trip out with Howard. It was smooth sailing on a comfortable boat. Howard expertly handled the boat, giving me complete confidence to just sit back and enjoy. He also is an excellent conversationalist who is happy to share his knowledge and opinions about Israel and about sailing in the Mediterranean.
It was a great time -- I highly recommend taking this fun trip. It's well worth your money.

We went with Howard on a sailing adventure for a few hours. He was the ultimate professional, mixing teaching moments with his kind personality, to provide us and the kids with many teachable moments regarding sailing etc…..
We would recommend Howard to all groups and families.

Howard was very responsive and our Skipper, Shimon was very a very kind and able captain. They were able to accommodate us on short notice (2 days). The dock was easy enough to find. 20m from downtown Tel Aviv. The boat was very clean and in very good shape. Perfect day on the water! Thanks everyone.

We went as a group of 6 from work, on a Hanse 415 skippered by Mark. Exactly what we were looking for - 3 hours at sea, largely under sail with two swim breaks. Crew had fun. Price was right.
Brought our own drinks & sandwich-making essentials from the market in the mall near the marina, which we would do again (plenty fridge space on board).
Originally from South Africa, Mark is professional yet laid back and makes for great conversation.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting me about chartering a boat with us. You can charter if you have an Israeli skipper license and have been checked out for the particular boat you will sail on.
If you charter a boat with myself as the licensed skipper aboard, I will sit back and let you sail the boat according to your abilities and help only if needed.
The prices are 1000 shekels for a two hour charter on either a Beneteau Oceanis 35 or 38 or 41 footer. Additional hours are 400 shekels each. This includes bottled water, sparkling wine and a six pack of beer.
Thanks and hope to hear from you.
