It was , Wonderful experience! Our guide and captain were awesome!
- Laura U.30 Jun 2025 5.0Great way to spend the evening
We had a great time and the dinner on board was thoughtfully prepared and tasty! The wind was really bad that day and ferries were cancelled but our cruise was not. They took us to a cove around the corner from where we took off and we swam and hung out on the boat. We didn’t get to actually cruise anywhere because of the wind but we still had fun and were able to see the sunset, swim, take pictures and spend quality time with our family. George worked very hard to please us and was a great host!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private catamaran tour, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. The crew was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that every moment was enjoyable and memorable. The catamaran itself was impeccably maintained and equipped with all the amenities one could need for a day on the water. One of the highlights of the tour was the breathtaking scenery. We sailed through crystal-clear waters, with stunning views of the coastline and surrounding islands. The crew also took us to some fantastic snorkeling spots where we had the chance to see vibrant marine life up close. The personalized service was top-notch. The crew went out of their way to cater to our preferences, providing delicious refreshments and a dinner that exceeded our expectations. Their knowledge and passion for the area were evident, as they shared interesting facts and stories about the places we visited. In summary, if you're looking for an unforgettable experience on the water, a private catamaran tour is the way to go. It's the perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and relaxation. I can't wait to book another trip!
