Wonderful Sunset Sail
nlt48, October 2026
We had a wonderful time on this sunset sail. Captain Joe and Cristina were friendly, efficient and professional. The drink was plentiful with both alcohol and non alcohol choices and the snacks were delicious. We had a medical emergency which required us to return to port which the captain and crew handled with aplomb. We were able to complete our excursion after leaving the port.
Highly recommended!
Response from the operator · Ashley V Wow sounds like quite the experience! Thank you for the wonderful review and we hope to see you again for another wonderful (less eventful) sail!
