Lilly gave us a truly unique and unforgettable experience that we couldn’t have had with anyone else. From the moment we stepped on her boat, she made us feel welcome and completely at ease. She shared her incredible sailing knowledge and years of experience at sea, turning the trip into both a fun adventure and a learning experience. It was so special to discover more about the wind, the sea, and the art of sailing while exploring such a stunning region with someone who knows all its best spots.

It was a perfect day on the water with Lily! She reached out days before the trip to introduce herself and figure out what we were most interested in. She was kind, flexible, and easy going. Once on board, she’s good at getting everyone involved. We chatted and shared stories and swam and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

Lilly welcomed us (me, wife , 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son) and made us feel at home immediately. She lives on the boat so it feels very authentic and homely. I had some previous experience of sailing smaller hobie cats and Lilly let me sail which was great. The wind wasn’t perfect and neither was my sailing but we had fun and the motor as a back up. We sailed to the sea horse lagoon and spent some time on the beach then sailed back to culatura for lunch which was great. All in all a great experience.

This was our first experience on a catamaran, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The trip was well organized, and the catamaran was in excellent condition. We especially appreciated that Captain Lili explained how everything works and even gave us the opportunity to steer. We spent the night at anchor, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the sea and a sky full of stars with a beautiful view of the city. It was a great way to learn something new and experience something different. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add variety to their vacation and try a unique sailing adventure.

Thank you Lilly for letting us experience your amazing home on the sea. What a fast little Double Dutch she is. My father Inlaw really enjoyed the sailing. We will be booking again in the future Regards and safe travels
