Reviews
Thanks for an amazing time that exceeded all expectations. The crew, led by Captain Nick's skills (functioning way beyond his years), made the trip truly exceptional. The Interiors team rock-solid performance and the phenomenal chef, added to the outstanding experience. The attention to detail in boat cleanliness and the top-notch amenities (the beds, the sheets, the air conditioning, the water pressure in the showers) were simply outstanding. The tenders and seabobs made for perfect adventures, like swimming alongside a big turtle. My friends and I are still buzzing about this trip, with memories that will last a lifetime. Cheers to Cupcake and its crew for making us feel like royalty!
