I spent a really good time on the boat, I learned a lot about refitting a boat and how to work properly in this field. The accommodation on the boat is perfect and the food is great. I recommend this experience to everyone who has some knowledge about using tools and it's interested in this field, so you can easily fit in the job and enjoy it at the best.

An enriching experience with two Germans on an incredible boat meticulous work. Pierce the shell of Klaus the moaner and you will see that they are two adorable people. Obviously Tilly's cuisine is very very good. Don't miss the sunrises over the fishing village Bukit Malut.

Klaus & Tilly are great Hosts for me. the Time we spent together was fun and passed super quick. Tilly is a Goddess in the kitchen her food tastes delicious and her freshly baked bread is a welcomed gift after months without proper bread. She is smart tough and can help Klaus with the tasks on the ship. The work with Klaus on the Boat is a bit challenging due to the heat and the tasks Wich have to be done. He hast so much knowledge in building repairing construction and in life ;) Make sure you can listen to a story twice. I had a great time and even extended my stay on the boat.

Working on the boat was a great experience. Tilly and klaus were very welcoming. Your own room and bathroom are amazing, the boat is docked so you have to use the shipyard bathroom. The heat in the room was hot, I'm English and haven't climatized to the weather, I was provided with a fan. The food was out-standing Tilly's breakfast and lunch is what I looked forward to! Language barrier and explanations could be confusing resulting in failed expectations at times but had a good understanding in the end. He's one of the most hardest working men I've met! Good luck the boat
