Hello, I am Edu & Monica

Dear Samboat team, First of all I apologize for the late response - I continued travelling after sailing and wanted to receive an opinion of my friends. I would split my review in two parts. First, Edu is a great skipper, I could learn from him very much. He kept the yacht very clean and well managed. He shown many interesting places. I think he is excellent for a skippered charter. The area of sailing is great Second, and I think this is the Samboat fault, I ordered a yacht for BAREBOAT charter, not skippered. I mentioned it several times in my written conversation. But Edu decided to remain with us all the time. Since we are all old friends sailing together for many years presence of some one else was not expected. Some technical issues we faced that made the sailing less comfortable that we expected. The water maker was not working and sent for repairment so we had a limited access to a fresh water, to a shower. Also we had some issues with the air conditioner.

Thank you Edu, Thank you Monica! It was a perfect two weeks trip. It was good organised from the first moment till the end. Edu knows all the nice spots and recommends the best time to visit them. Sailing, diving, snorkelling and even free diving - Edu is an expert in all this activities. The catamaran was very good equipped and very clean. It was enough space for 10 people. It is quite fast under sails and light to handle. Edu was very polite and careful. The crew security is very important for him. We will definitely come again to discover new islands and dive spots with Edu.

Edu & Monica were perfect host making us feel totally at home on their lovely sail boat. They have a wealth of knowledge on sailing and diving in the area and made sure all our expectations were not only met but exceeded. We came away with enhanced knowledge of all best spots to visit, much better sailing skills and lovely introduction to diving. Could not ask for more, thank you!

My wife and I had an amazing experience sailing in Thailand with Edu and Moni for our honeymoon. We did not have to worry about a thing during the trip, we trusted Edu to the itinerary and every day was perfect. Sailing with Edu allowed us to see more of the Andaman Sea and Phang Nga Bay then I could have hoped for. My wife, who has never stayed on a boat before, says she could not have had a better honeymoon, and she wants to do this trip again. Every night we were able to experience food from a different local town or a beachside resort. While underway Moni would make sure you had lunch and snacks and kept the cabins clean. Edu met us at a local grocery prior to departure and let my wife use their stove (she enjoys cooking). I love to scuba dive and Edu being a dive master meant personal guided dives along some shallow reefs which is just another of the benefits offered on his boat. I hope to sail and dive again one day with Edu either here or in the Balearic islands. A++++

Edu was simply fantastic. We were two families with 4 teenagers for a total of 8 people plus Edu. Edu has great knowledge of planning great destinations and always being safe with regards to weather conditions and routing. We had great beaches and anchorages, excellent diving and the boat was in very good condition. Could not ask for anything better for a trip. We wish Edu & Monica a wonderful wedding celebration.

It was great! Edu & Monica are extremely friendly, helpful and go out of their way to ensure that our guests have a wonderful day.

Thank you Edu & Monica and Isabell :)

Es war super! Edu & Monica sind überaus freundlich, hilfsbereit und geben sich größte Mühe, dass man als Gast einen schönen Tag hat. Mit mehr als genug Wasserspielzeugen für Groß und Klein bleiben ebenfalls keine Wünsche offen. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und einen großartigen Tag mit unserer Familie. Wir kommen garantiert wieder! Danke Edu & Monica und Isabell :)

Eduard and Monica were wonderful and kind and we had a great day boating around Palma harbor to several beaches and beautiful anchorage spots!

Everything was super organized and it was a great tour. A very nice and friendly couple. We would book it again immediately and recommend it to everyone.

Es war alles super organisiert und es war eine tolle Tour. Ein sehr nettes und freundliches Paar. Wir würden es sofort wieder buchen und jedem empfehlen.

It has been a spectacular day, which we will recommend. From the first moment we have been very comfortable, super attentive to us. They have also looked for interesting things for our teenage children. A perfect day, thank you very much, really.

Ha sido un dia espectacular, que recomendaremos. Desde el primer momento hemos estado muy a gusto, super atentos con nosotros. Ademas han buscado cosas interesantes para nuestros hijos adolescentes. Un dia perfecto, muchas gracias, de verdad.

We spent an incredible day on the sailboat with Edu and Monica who are super attentive and friendly. Without a doubt we would repeat a thousand times. We were 7 friends and the sailboat is very spacious and comfortable, perfect for spending one or several days around the islands.

Pasamos un dia increible en el velero con Edu y Monica que son super atentos y simpaticos. Sin duda repetiriamos mil veces. Estuvimos 7 amigas y el velero es muy amplio y comodo, perfecto para pasar uno o varios dias por las islas.

Fantastic day at sea, we enjoyed a lot as a family. Thank you very much Edu and Mònica for discovering spectacular places on the island and, above all, for your patience, kindness and professionalism. We learned a lot about everything, as well as enjoying snorkeling, kayaking, paddle surfing and all the materials available. We will never forget this day. I hope to return soon, this time to dive.

Fantástico día en el mar, disfrutamos muchísimo en familia. Muchas gracias Edu y Mònica por descubrirnos lugares espectaculares de la isla y, sobre todo, por vuestra paciencia, amabilidad y profesionalidad. Aprendimos un montón de todo, además de disfrutar con el snorkel, el kayak, paddle surf y todos los materiales disponibles. Nunca olvidaremos este día. Espero volver pronto, esta vez a bucear.

We have spent a wonderful day in the company of Edu & Mónica. The impeccable sailboat and they pending everything to please us. 100% recommended experience, we will see each other again, guys! Thank you so much for everything

Hemos pasado un día estupendo en compañía de Edu & Mónica. El velero impecable y ellos pendientes de todo para agradarnos. Experiencia 100% recomendable, volveremos a vernos, chicos! Muchas gracias por todo

We had a fantastic day aboard Edu and Monica's sailboat who are very professional, caring and attentive. We made several stops in beautiful coves and made full of activities (stand up paddle, sea kayaking, snorking...). We asked to eat on a beach restaurant, Edu took us there in a zodiak. At the end of the day we set sail offshore to observe the sunset, only dolphins were missing...

Fantastic Edu&Moni patterns! Beautiful sailboat, very cozy and super comfortable! We spent a perfect day with them, they were attentive at all times, everything was perfect in detail and very well organized. They also have kayaking, paddle surfing… The best bosses I've ever met! a ten ! I highly recommend them

Fantásticos patrones Edu&Moni! precioso velero muy acogedor y súper cómodo ! Pasamos un día perfecto con ellos, estuvieron pendientes en todo momento, todo perfecto al detalle y muy bien organizado. Tienen además kayak Padel surf… Los mejores patrones q he conocido! un diez ! Los recomiendo a tope

The experience could not have been better. I highly recommend. The treatment has been close and very pleasant and the day very well organized in which Edu and Mónica's maxim has been that we will enjoy the boat, the sea, and the island. Details like not looking at the clock when the day was over and giving us an unforgettable sunset make a difference. We will repeat soon, for sure. Thank you!

La experiencia no ha podido ser mejor. Recomiendo encarecidamente. El trato ha sido cercano y muy agradable y la jornada muy bien organizada en la que la máxima de Edu y Mónica ha sido que disfrutaremos del barco, la mar, y la isla. Detalles como no mirar el reloj cuando acababa el día y regalarnos una puesta de sol inolvidable marcan la diferencia. Repetiremos pronto, seguro. Gracias!

Edu and Mónica were very nice, we had a great day with them on their sailboat around Menorca. It is true that they picked us up a bit far from the place where we made the request, but finally we were able to park well. Otherwise, a great day on the sailboat!

Edu y Mónica fueron muy agradables, pasamos un día estupendo con ellos en su velero por Menorca. Es verdad que nos recogieron un poco lejos del lugar donde hicimos la petición, pero finalmente pudimos aparcar bien. Por lo demás, un día estupendo en velero!

Charming and professional couple, perfect connoisseurs of Menorca and very attentive with the children on board. If I return to Menorca, I will surely repeat the experience with them. I wish you the best in all your new adventures!

Pareja encantadora y profesional, perfectos conocedores de Menorca y muy atentos con los niños a bordo. Si vuelvo a Menorca, por seguro que repetiré experiencia con ellos. Les deseo lo mejor en todas sus nuevas aventuras!

We had an amazing day! Edu and Monica were very prepared, and made the experience great. The boat is very comfortable, and we explored some incredible areas of the island, as well as seeing a Dolphin. Thanks to both of them!

We couldn't have been better! We have made Turutut our home and the crew our family. We plan to repeat with them next year with them

No hemos podido estar mejor! Hemos hecho del Turutut nuestro hogar y de la tripulación nuestra familia. Pensamos repetir con ellos el año que viene con ellos

The day trip was wonderful, we still had a marriage proposal on board and at sunset we talked about everything and everything over a glass of champagne. You can tell that Edu and Monica don't put income first. They want to meet nice people and have a wonderful day, and so did we! Thanks you two, see you in Thailand! Peck!

Der Tagesausflug war wunderschön, wir hatten noch einen Heiratsantrag an Bord und zum Sonnenuntergang redeten wir noch über Gott und die Welt bei einem Glas Champagner. Man merkt, an erster Stelle stehen bei Edu und Monica nicht die Einnahmen. Sie wollen nette Leute kennen lernen und einen wunderschönen Tag haben, das hatten wir dann auch! Danke euch zwei, wir sehen uns in Thailand! Küsschen!

The truth is that both my partner and I were delighted with the treatment received. The conditions, cleanliness of the boat and additional entertainment options made for a great day on board. In addition, they are capable of transmitting their passion for the sea. We will certainly repeat!!

La verdad que tanto mi pareja como yo quedamos encantados con el trato recibido. Las condiciones, limpieza del barco y opciones de entretenimiento adicionales hicieron que pasáramos un día estupendo a bordo. Además, son capaces de transmitir su pasión por el mar. Sin duda repetiremos!!

Thank you again for this beautiful day spent aboard your sailboat. We are all delighted with our first experience and maybe see you soon for other adventures...

Merci encore pour cette belle journée passée à bord de votre voilier. Nous sommes tous ravis de notre première expérience et peut-être à bientôt pour d'autres aventures...

We spent 5 wonderful days with Edu and Monica on board the tururut, we were 6 people and we were super comfortable both on the boat and with them, we visited coves, learned to navigate, between water and lots of sun. Breakfast in the middle of the sea, lunch in a quiet cove or dinner in the middle of a port ..... An experience to repeat and that we will certainly repeat!

Pasamos 5 días estupendos con Edu y monica a bordo del tururut, fuimos 6 personas y estuvimos súper cómodos tanto en el barco como con ellos, visitamos calas, aprendimos de navegación, entre agua y mucho sol. Desayunos en medio del mar, comida en una cala tranquila o cenar en medio de un puerto ..... Una experiencia para repetir y que sin duda repetiremos !

Extraordinary. Edu and Monica are the best plan in Mallorca. The sailboat is divine, they know the island by heart, they have a thousand options of activities to spend the day and it is a full day, they cannot stop sailing with them, they are the most recommended to visit the island.

Extraordinario. Edu y Monica son el mejor plan de Mallorca. El velero es divino, conocen la isla al pelo, tienen mil opciones de actividades para pasar el día y es una jornada completa, no pueden dejar de navegar con ellos, son lo más recomendado para visitar la isla.

Spectacular. We had a great time. It was a luxurious day. We visited some coves in Mallorca, we snorkelled, paddle surfed, took underwater photos... an unforgettable day. Edu and Jeni treated us like royalty. Super attentive to everything and passionate about the sea. We will certainly repeat with them. Very highly recommended.

Espectacular. Lo pasamos genial. Fue un día de lujo. Visitamos algunas calas de Mallorca, hicimos snorkel, padle surf, fotos bajo el agua... un día inolvidable. Edu y Jeni nos trataron como reyes. Super atentos con todo y apasionados del mar. Sin duda repetiremos con ellos. Muy muy recomendable.

We spent an amazing day aboard the Tururut. Edu and Monica were very nice and made our day sailing even better. They took us to coves where you cannot reach by car, with crystal clear, turquoise waters. Beautiful!

Pasamos un día increíble a bordo del Tururut. Edu y Monica fueron muy amables e hicieron que nuestro día navegando fuese aún mejor. Nos llevaron a calas donde no se puede llegar con el coche, con aguas cristalinas, turquesas. Precioso!

A great experience, very pleasant navigation, they always look for sheltered coves to sleep well. The food is delicious and Edu and Monica make everything perfect. The children have enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding and even more so with diving.

Une experiencia estupenda, la navegación muy agradable, siempre buscan calas resguardadas para dormir bien. La comida riquísima y Edu y Monica hacen que sea todo perfecto. Los niños han disfrutado con el kayac y el paddle y mucho mas aun con el buceo.

Everything was perfect, better than we imagined! We cannot fault you. Monica and Edu treated us like 10 and the experience was incredible. I recommend it 100%.

Todo fue perfecto, mejor de lo que inaginabamos! No le podemos plner ninguna pega. Monica y Edu nos trataron de 10 y la experiencia fue increible. Lo refomiendo al 100%.

Ha sido increíble !!!!!! Impresionante!!! Muy muy buena gente !

Our 4 days trip with our 5 kids on this boat was the best family experience ever! So friendly and good with the kids that it exceeded all of our expectations. Our hearts are full of unforgetable memories of snorkeling, cathing fish, kayaking and many more. It was sad when we had to leave - and we will definitely come back again. Thank you Rubén, Monica, Kim and Toni! XX Kasper, Ida & the kids

We spent a fantastic family day with Edu. He did his best to make us comfortable, he even took the children on an excursion to an island to look for lizards, he dressed them up as pirates and at all times he was relaxed with the time, without rushing back, without being in a hurry to solve any problem. setback showing tranquility and zero stress throughout the day. We will try to repeat for sure!

Pasamos un día fantástico en familia con Edu. Puso todo de su parte para que estuviéramos a gusto, incluso se llevó a los niños de excursión a una isla a buscar lagartijas, los disfrazó de piratas y en todo momento estuvo relajado con la hora, sin prisas por volver, sin agobios para resolver algún contratiempo mostrando tranquilidad y cero estrés durante todo el día. Intentaremos repetir seguro!

Estupendo de día a bordo del Tururut!!! Edu nos hizo pasar una perfecta aventura en el mar. Navegar a vela un placer inolvidable. Gracias!!!

Gracias por este fin de semana .Edu y Mónica nos han hecho sentir como en casa. Super atentos y encantadores ,nos han enseñado calitas preciosas y hemos navegado a vela. Sin duda lo recomiendo. Mil gracias

We rented a catamaran in Thailand with Samboat. We were very well informed before our trip and very well received by Eduardo the owner. The boat is well equipped and in good condition. A hassle-free cruise. I highly recommend it. Jean Philippe

Nous avons loué un catamaran en Thailande avec Samboat. Nous avons été très bien renseigné avant notre voyage et très bien reçu par Eduardo le propriétaire. Le bateau est bien équipé et en bon état. Une croisière sans encombre. Je vous le recommande vivement. Jean Philippe

The experience with Edu and Mónica during this past month of August was great. We went with our three children and we enjoyed it a lot, they adapted to the children, their explanations were very enjoyable. We will repeat without a doubt next year, we couldn't spend more days with them because they had a full agenda... and no wonder :). Greetings from Madrid.

La experiencia con Edu y Mónica durante este pasado mes de agosto fué genial. Fuimos con nuestros tres hijos y lo disfrutamos un montón, se adaptaron a los niños, sus explicaciones fueron muy amenas. Repetiremos sin duda el próximo año, no pudimos pasar más días con ellos porque tenían la agenda completa...y no nos extraña :). Un saludo desde Madrid.

Edu and Monica welcome you on board and take care of everything, stewardship, meals... Very good atmosphere. Kayaks paddles buoy diving equipment... everything is at your disposal. Between 2 navigations you can scuba dive or snorkel (lessons and assistance by Edu and Monica). In short happiness

Edu et Monica vous accueillent à bord et s'occupent de tout, intendance, repas ... Trés bonne ambiance. Kayaks paddles bouée equipement de plongée... tout est à votre disposition. Entre 2 navigations vous pouvez plonger en bouteille ou en apnée (cours et assistance par Edu et Monica). Bref le bonheur

EVERYTHING VERY WELL, WE HAD A VERY NICE DAY, AND EDU ADVISED US AND HELPED US AT ALL TIMES, EVERYTHING PERFECT. WE WILL REPEAT THE EXPERIENCE

TODO MUY BIEN, PASAMOS UN DIA MUY AGRADABLE, Y EDU NOS ACONSEJO Y NOS AYUDO EN TODO MOMENTO, TODO PERFECTO. REPETIRIAMOS LA EXPERIENCIA

Una experiencia inolvidable para mi mujer, para mi y mis hijos. La atención de Edu y Mónica impecable y difícilmente olvidare estas vacaciones.

{{ commentTranslate }}

Ha estado genial!!! Ellos fueron majisimos. Nos explicaron todas las calas y nos lo pasamos fenomenal. Lo recomiendo muchísimo.

{{ commentTranslate }}

Hemos ido mis dos hijos de 7 y 10 años mi mujer y yo a. Uedtda primera experiencia de navegación y no ha podido ser mejor. Lo primero porque Edu y Mónica son encantadores, están al tanto de todo y muy profesionales. Los niños con ellos genial y sus explicaciones continuas de navegación y del entorno te hacen sentirte participe de la experiencia. Además tuvimos la oportunidad de hcer el bautismo submarino de mi hijo que fue realmente emocionante. Espero que este comentario ayude a cualquier familia o grupo a decidirse. Os otros lo pensamos mucho y tuvimos la suerte de encontrarlos. Lo único que no hicimos bien fue contratar un solo día pero eso lo vamos a arreglar seguro...

A great experience with a great captain!! We were two adults and two children for 4 days in Formentera and Ibiza and the treatment was unbeatable. We will repeat! 100% recommendable. Regards, Ed!

Una experiencia genial con un capitan genial!! Estuvimos dos adultos y dos niños durante 4 dias en formentera e ibiza y el trato fue inmejorable. Repetiremos! 100% recomendable. Un saludo Edu!

Thank you Edu for the time we have spent on board the Furia. It has been an incredible experience and I have no doubt that we will repeat it. For many more years!

Gracias Edu por el tiempo que hemos pasado a bordo del Furia. Ha sido una experiencia increíble y no tengo duda de que repetiremos. Por muchos años más!

The experience has been incredible. Both Edu and Monica have given us super close attention, they have taught us to use paddle surfing and amnea techniques. Infinitely grateful for the day and the afternoon that we have spent together, the boat was clean and cared for and we have enjoyed it to the fullest.

La experiencia ha sido increible. Tanto Edu como Monica nos han dado una atencion super cercana, nos han enseñado a usar el paddel surf y técnicas de amnea. Infinitamente agradecidos por el dia y la tarde que hemos pasado juntos, el barco estaba limpio y cuidado y hemos disfrutado de él al maximo.

Me va faltar espacio para expresar mi agradecimiento a Edu y Moni. Un barco cuidado y cómodo lleno de material para actividades deportivas, en un enclave espectacular del que el patrón no sólo domina cada cala sino sus rincones e historias, pero lo mejor los anfitriones, nos hicieron sentir en familia y como en casa desde el primer instante, mil graciassss a los dos, sin duda volveremos y no olvidéis que os esperamos por Madrid con un buen chuletón. Recomendable al 200%

this was too short!! Edu and Monica are very kind and share their experiences of the sea with passion! we will redo this for sure! merci!!!
