Crewed Cruising Catamaran Ready to Sail in Philippine Islands

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.

We had a great 2 night 3 day trip with Alan. He took us to some beautiful private beaches and the best spots for snorkelling, to Yaught is well equipped with a couple of kayaks as well for people who don’t swim so well. Alan is very helpful and will even help you with the food shopping before you go. He knows the best places to shop if you keep in contact by WhatsApp. There were five of us in the party, which is a bit of a squeeze for the fifth person, but we managed to make up a comfortable bed.

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.
