Great experience
Bring a sweater in April, the water temp was pretty good but it can be cold on the boat depending on wind. Other than that the trip was absolutely perfect.

If you sail in late September, be prepared for water temperatures under 20 degrees Celsius. So if you're not a fan of colder water, you might not enjoy in-water experiences.
