It was a wonderful and eventful catamaran cruise in the Seychelles with lots of snorkeling, swimming and good food. Brian, the cook and Charly, the captain, have put a lot of effort into offering us something new every day. Thank you very much for that!

Very nice experience overall the only thing for the destination maybe it is better to do more days as the last three days we did too much sailing in the afternoon, it would have been better to travel at night / early morning or possibly do more days in the Tobago cas area, Skipper very nice and quiet, the steward perhaps a little too young did not have a great desire to clean and lacked the eye of a person with more experience. Overall I would do it again
