There were good conversations and everyone was aware that we were all ok during the whole trip. We enjoyed everything from start to finish and could easily have stayed on the ship for many more hours.”
Review of Maui’s five-hour West Coast snorkel and sail to Lanai, with reef stops, whale watching, breakfast, lunch, and open bar.
“Our trip to Lanai was windy and choppy but that did not ruin the experience. The crew was so kind and friendly. The crews first priority was safety and that made me feel so comfortable on our trip. We had to find a calm spot to snorkel which took a while but the crew kept us informed and explained everything. The food was perfect and the drinks kept coming so I was very happy. One of my children got seasick (even though I gave her medicine before we got on) and the crew was so helpful and understanding. They are a wonderful crew and I would recommend this adventure for…”

Review of Puerto Plata’s 6.5-hour catamaran trip with two snorkel stops, buffet lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, and practical booking advice.
“A memorable time of my life. The blue oceans were calling me for a long time and I couldn’t be more happy that I have embarked on this trip. The fear of swimming in the ocean was always on my mind. This experience has helped me overcome another adventurous milestone in my life. Everything was perfect from nature giving us the the best weather and also an amazing few that didn’t stop us wasting any time or miss out any fun. The snorkeling to begin with was so phenomenal and I cannot stop thinking about it. One of a kind experience swimming in the ocean with the fish and looking…”

The trip itself visited some stunning places (including a beautiful cove that feels like your own private beach where we swam, did snorkeling & paddle board). The food they prepare was amazing as well. Wonderful day & 100% recommend for a memorable day.”

Cruise from La Spezia past Portovenere and Cinque Terre, with Ligurian lunch, wine, swimming, and a small group of up to 10.
“The day started out nice enough , motoring past Porto Venerre. Our chain smoking skipper Gregorio kept to himself and never spoke to us through our 7 hour ordeal. We tied up off Vernazza and were immediately accosted by local officials regarding our anchorage. This delayed our lunch of stale focaccia and warm Polish beer for about 20 minutes while things got sorted out. The water was cool but nice but we were not allowed to get off of the boat to tour Vernaza. When it came time to leave the engine would not restart so we had to be towed back to port, all the while trying to remind…”
