Our group of 11 had an amazing time on our private catamaran. We opted to not be with a group setting and it was worth every penny. Communication to book was great, the staff on board made us feel comfortable and welcomed and happy to assist in whatever we needed. Lunch was AMAZING. Our ride to a bay with snorkel gear was so lovely. They clearly state the year of the boat, 1995, so we didn’t expect a shiny brand new modern boat, which is okay. We would definitely rebook it again! Thank you Mossimo and crew!!

Great day sailing with Ken and his friends. We had a challenging day out there with lots of wind and heavy gusts. Ken is a very experienced sailor so we handled perfectly the boat and enjoyed a lot. Also Ken and his friends were great guys and we had so much fun telling stories and laughing at anything. Is like I went to sail with long time ago friends. Ready to sail with them any time. Thanks for a great day.
