didnt love the boat as it was a power boat with sails, but your staff was very good particularly Rosy and Naz. Naz was very good through out with check out and check back in, but also with answering calls each day on mainly small problems and questions answered with good cheer. You're lucky to have him.

Navigare un marsh Harbor Bahamas 🇧🇸 did a great job. Staff is very nice and friendly. Boat was ready and in 8/10 condition. Pretty normal for a charter… we ended up doing groceries walking to the store nearby, choice we limited but we saved tons of time. Water at the marina is drinkable, and they fill all tanks for you. But you need to buy water to drink on the boat. Entrance to the marina is easy.

Amazing time on Amura with Rebecca and Max. The boat is incredible for a day trip and we had a great time at all the stops swimming and snorkeling! The crew did an incredible job of making the time very memorable.

Lynn at Samboat was great to work with. We sailed on a 46 Lagoon out of Marsh Harbour in the Abacos. It was a seamless experience. Thanks, Samboat, for another successful experience.

There was construction going on the beach, which wasn't ideal, but we were told that anchorage was the best for the day.

The exumas are really cool but there were surprisingly few reef fish and a lot more boat traffic than I expected. Beautiful though!

Rat Cay was absolutely the best place for seeing turtles, stingrays, and walking along a beautiful beach. Also, the sunset at Pineapples on Green Turtle Cay was amazing!
