Captain Bernardo and his boat are great! He was very knowledgable about the area and accommodating to requests- and made sure my group had a great day. He truly loves boating and is full of great stories and adventures! He also had paddleboards which was an awesome surprise! Everything was clean in and great shape. Loved having a large outdoor deck and a cooled cabin to hang out in.
Nunya has afforded our family the most amazing introduction to a wonderful way of life and adventure. Peace, beauty, solitude. The owner was on point, promptly and thoroughly, responding to all inquiries and making every possibility available to us. We spoke and even had the chance to preview this magnificent sailing yacht prior to our day at sea along the beautiful California coast up to Malibu. We also received the Captain profile and were able to speak and create our itinerary which he managed perfectly. Captain was awaiting us and provided a very comfortable arrival the day of our sail. An entirely beautiful experience that our family is already planning to do again on Nunya!
