Crewed Cruising Catamaran Ready to Sail in Philippine Islands

Amazing trip with Alan over 4 days touring El Nido. Alan chose a great itinerary, showing us all the best spots and is a very experienced, patient and responsible captain. I'd heartily recommend anyone to do the same! Cheers Ben

Crewed Cruising Catamaran Ready to Sail in Philippine Islands

We did a 3-day, 2-night boat tour from El Nido to El Nido, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The experience was like something out of a dream – crystal-clear waters, untouched islands, and stunning beaches that felt like our own private paradise. Each day brought a new adventure: snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, relaxing on remote sandbanks, and watching the most beautiful sunsets from the boat. It was the perfect chance to completely disconnect from everyday life and just soak in the beauty of nature. We visited several different islands, each with its own unique charm. The crew was fantastic – super friendly, helpful, and they cooked delicious meals right on the boat. Sleeping under the stars and waking up to the sound of the ocean was magical. Honestly, we could have easily added another night – it went by way too fast! If you're thinking about doing this trip, don't hesitate. We can 100% recommend it. Just make sure to bring your own snorkeling gear to fully enjoy the underwater world. An experience we’ll never forget!

My partner and I had a lovely day aboard the Maria with Captain Alan - he was very attentive in answering questions before the day trip, helped us get a few supplies before boarding and heading out. He put together a lovely itinerary for the day which he was happy to adjust according to our preferences. A great way to see some beautiful locations if you only have 1 day in El Nido region

Our experience aboard the María catamaran with Alan was simply unforgettable. We spent three days sailing around El Nido as part of our honeymoon, and from the very first moment we booked and Alan wrote to us, we knew these days were going to be amazing... and they truly were! The adventure started with buying food: Alan helped us choose what to get and met us directly at the supermarket — a great start to the trip! Then we set off to discover El Nido: Alan took us to hidden gems that regular tours don't visit, as well as some famous spots, but experiencing them on the catamaran was completely different and much more special. Sleeping in the middle of nature, away from everything, was simply magical. Thanks to Alan, we were also lucky enough to see countless starfish, sea turtles, and the incredible marine life of El Nido — something we will never forget. We shared lunches and dinners together, and my husband even got to steer the catamaran for a while! Nothing was missing. Well, except that we didn't get to meet María (who shares the same name as the boat!) because she was traveling at the time. We would have loved to meet her! Today, when our family asks us what the best part of our honeymoon was, we answer without hesitation: María, in El Nido!

We had an amazing time- the captain and chef were very prompt, knowledgeable and helped us to choose the best itinerary to suit our needs and wants. We went to Pukaway caves first and it was amazing, the best thing we have seen in our week here. Then a lovely swim through the twin lagoon, and then the most delicious lunch- we got to pick at the market and I highly recommend this- we got lobster, chicken, veggies, salad, beer, rice and it was great to see everything how they live. We finished off at barracuda lake and this was also amazing. My husband and I both scuba dive and we found these sites to have amazing underwater life. We are so thankful for the relaxed and wonderful day we had. Hiring our own private boat was the way to go! Otherwise you are stuck with set itineraries. It was nice to learn some more about their way of living and culture- the captain was so lovely and chatty. Highly recommended- much more than a set itinerary which we have done earlier in the week.

Everything went well from the beginning to the end, and the service was above and beyond my expectations. Based on our day's schedule, Dexter and his crew made useful recommendations and were friendly and knowledgeable. The crew made sure we had all we needed for an amazing underwater experience by helping us with snorkeling gear and kayaking. Choosing the Paluto service was one of the highlights of our day, and it went above and beyond what we had anticipated. The cook aboard performed an amazing job preparing our fresh fish into an excellent meal.
