We booked this trip as part of a Bachelorette party and it was the highlight of the weekend! Amal was so accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Our Captain, John, was so nice and clearly had a lot of experience on the water. It was a bit choppy when we went but he was able to maneuver the boat with ease and make sure we all stayed safe and have a good time. I would definitely recommend this boat and company if youre looking for a fun boat ride with friendly staff!
We could not have had a better experience. Amal provided great communication, easy access to boat, boat was very clean, spacious and suited our needs perfectly. Our Captain, John, was really nice, answered all our questions and considering the water was a bit choppy did a fantastic job giving us as smooth a ride as possible. We took a sunset cruise and the views were simply amazing. Would highly recommend and hope to charter with Amal again in the future!

Amal is a wonderful host and her yacht is absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful time exploring the coast and enjoying the beautiful weather. The yacht was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the accommodations were top-notch. Amal was very attentive and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable trip. We would definitely recommend her yacht to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable experience.
