Reviews
Great job James and Julia. Thank you, Raul
I truly did not know what to expect and was so happy with everything.
Looking forward to going again in the future…
Thanks for your help!
James and Julia were fantastic, and I couldn't provide enough praise for them if I tried.
Expectations were exceeded, and we will definitely be doing another trip in the future.
2) The Captain and first mate Joe and Julia were just wonderful
3) The food was better on the boat than at the top restaurants ( which were great as well and suggested by the crew)
4) The spots we anchored were great and the crew took us by dingy to all places we wanted to go
Awesome
