“The crew and the food were amazing. We took 9 adults and one 11 year old. The staff catered to us and were incredibly friendly and hospitable. The waters were rough so we couldn’t go out to sea, but we used the paddle boards and snorkeled and had a blast. I would certainly recommend them time and time again.”
