A week based entirely on navigation, with little time for snorkeling. Obligatory, prepaid shore trips that were worth just a great lobster lunch on the beach. Rigid aperitif times, lunch and dinner, inflexible cook on the menu chosen at his unquestionable will. No possibility of changing the menu of the day, because it was not declared before and therefore sometimes we were left without being able to eat. Tense atmosphere if you didn't like the food or had requests, also due to linguistic misunderstanding. The crew spoke only French, no English or little. The quality of the wine and food is low. Frozen fish in bags, except on the first day. Cocktails that are good only on two or three occasions, because they are freshly prepared. For the rest, bottles of rum and fruit already prepared and hot. Disappointing holiday despite the very beautiful location.

The boat was very nice but I found the rules on board too strict, for example lunch at 12 and dinner at 19 for an all-Italian crew it is too early and we would have liked more flexibility. In addition, the language on board was French and, fortunately, English. Too little for an international cruise.

My rating is just enough and I would actually only give it 2 stars. Unfortunately the holiday turned out to be far below expectations, the quality / price ratio is very bad. First of all, the French skipper who speaks almost no English is unacceptable with a group of guests from various nationalities. In case of emergency, the captain must know how to give clear and quick orders and he would not have been able at all. The French hostess (his girlfriend) cooked everything except "navigation" food: for the whole holiday as vegetables only two salad leaves and one evening green beans, in the first three days there was practically no fruit and in the tropics it is a must, fish eaten only twice and meat after all; he always cooked heavy lunches / dinners that did not go well with the environment and the temperature ... The answers to the various intolerances or requests for vegetarian dishes were rude and considered only sometimes. The group we sailed with fortunately turned out to be the trump card of the holiday, we were all on the same wavelength and complained about the same things. Our collective requests to stay a little longer in one place or to change times for activities have never been answered in the affirmative, revealing an excessive rigidity on the program and on the needs of the captain-hostess as a couple. Another sore point is navigation: 13 hours at night as soon as you embark and then immediately "segregated" in the cabin with the order not to leave until 6 in the morning is madness. In our group two people were sick, one of whom was in a single cabin and neither the hostess nor the captain bothered to go and check on her and give her a hand in case of need. Unfortunately, even the places visited are below expectations: obviously they are beautiful places, but as far as coral reefs and marine fauna are concerned, they are very lacking. They made us do 2-3 snorkeling in very busy places (a little bit for a week on the boat). The cleanliness left a bit to be desired and note that the cabin has to be cleaned by itself throughout the week. Basically I loved the catamaran and the holiday at sea but there were too many poor points so in the future I will definitely evaluate other destinations and modalities.

It was wonderful, thank you !
