Maritime Hebrew at the Jaffa Port 

Ahoy, mate! Grab your captain’s cap and join Guy for a tour of Jaffa Port, located just south of Tel Aviv. Hailing from the port of Ashdod, Guy worked as a control tower operator and learned from his father, a tugboat skipper, and other visiting captains about sailing and maritime life. Explore the history of this nostalgic former customs checkpoint as Guy teaches about Jaffa’s development and shares funny family anecdotes. Ever wonder how to make a sailboat sail? Ever wonder how to say “sailboat” in Hebrew? Guy will provide all the answers. Smell the fresh sea air, meet local captains, and sit at a café overlooking the water while watching the sunset. And if we're lucky, we are going to see the Sababa-5 boat.
