We had a group of 8 and the crew was fantastic! We did not experience anything but excellent service. The crew was very engaged and kept the trip fun, specific instructions were given regarding lunch and times of departure. Would definitely do again.

The crew was so friendly and welcoming, the food was outstanding, the drinks were even better and they didn’t stop serving! We had a child (7 years old) who had never been snorkeling and the crew did great having what he needed to learn. Will absolutely be back to enjoy! Keep up the amazing work!

Went with a big wedding crowd. My 7 and 2yr olds LOVED the trip!! It was awesome. The crew was excellent (im a sailor in MA). Professional, courteous to everyone, great service and funny as heck. It was a very nice trip my kids and us will never forget! Thank you guys! Will see you again this winter!

Extremely fun, absolutely beautiful catamaran trip with lively helpful crew! Lunch was perfect, music was as well, snorkeling was amazing and all equipment was above average. The island of Icacos is breathtaking.

5-Star Rating on TripAdvisor

We booked thru our hotel and had a shuttle to coco beach. They are very organized and friendly boat staff. Great music, food and drinks. We saw flying fish, dolphins and stingrays. Ended with a beautiful sunset. We went on a Sunday and had 28 ppl on catamaran...I would go again!

We had a great trip, from prompt pick up on the shore to viewing the beautiful sunset and return to Coco beach. The food was good, crew was attentive, vessel was spotless too. I would highly recommend the trip to anyone wanted to have a great day of beautiful scenery.

What an absolutely fantastic day. There were almost 50 of us on board plus the crew. There is so much space that it never felt crowded once. These amazing men took care of us better than we ever could have expected - felt like Queens and Kings on our ship. The food was delicious, drinks were non-stop and the sights were breathtaking. Could not have picked a better thing to do!

This was by far the best organized tour that I have ever been on. The crew was courteous and helpful; especially Johann Gutierrez. As a Master Diver, he gave me tips on where and how to maximize my snorkeling experience on his waters..EVERYONE was treated like family. Thank you Johann, for everything you did to make this a lifelong memory!!

If you like boats, you should do this!!! Free, premium brand drinks and lunch included on this trip. Just bring your towel, sunscreen and sail. The guys on this catamaran know what they are doing and add some extra fun. The service provided by these guys is top level. The sunset tour is amazing! Great fun for sure.

The complete sailing trip packing list- Here’s What to Pack

Clothing & personal sailing packing list items.

• Swimwear / swimsuits - you don't need one for every day, but they don't take up much space!
• Long-sleeved cover ups - there will be a point each day where it may be difficult to re-apply sunscreen. It's usually because you are wet - rain, sweat, dripping from a recent dip, etc. Having a couple of these sun shirts is a great idea to keep you protected from sunburn. For the guys, Florence Marine X - John John Florence's  brand - puts out a great SPF hooded shirt
• T-shirts/tank tops
• Sarongs for the ladies
• Dad hats for the guys

•   Lightweight rain coat or windbreaker - we usually encounter a squall or two and someone still has to drive the boat! These aren't bad either for a nighttime dinghy ride into the wind.
• Sweater - it can feel chilly at night at times
• Theme night - we usually pick one night to dress up and have some fun: Luau Night, Dinner with the Captain (think Master and Commander), etc.
• Polarized sunglasses - all the crew should bring polarized shares. They are helpful to read the water and see potential obstructions. My favorite brand recently is Electric - the Knoxville Sport model is a perfect everyday pair. Get them in Blue Polarized Pro for your boat trip.
• Snorkel & mask - I highly recommend bringing your own. Snorkeling gear is usually available from the charter company, but it gets a lot of use. The quality is not usually great either. Spend the money and invest in your own. I learned to scuba dive in 2008, and I am still using the same snorkel/mask. They will last you for years if taken care of. Another reason to bring your own is that, due to Covid, some charter companies are no longer providing masks (although you can still get fins from them).
• Fins - if you have them and have space, bring them. Otherwise, the fins from the charter company will usually be just fine.
• Walking/hiking shoes - these are usually the pair I wear on the airplane.
• Water shoes - optional, but they can be helpful. For example, jumping in the water to beach your dinghy. 
• Boat shoes - you definitely do not need these. I think most people that wear boat shoes have never been on a boat. I'm always barefoot when we are on the sailboat.
• Quick dry towels - most charter companies don't provide beach towels, so plan to bring your own. Since they might get multiple uses every day, we like quick dry options. This type of towel also won't take up as much space in your bag.
• Sunscreen lotion - if you can find it, bring a reef friendly option. Reef Safe Sunscreen is a bit more expensive, but it's worth it to help protect the reefs.
• Personal toiletries - toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, deodorant, shampoo/conditioner (the boat will not come stocked with this), etc.
• Electronic chargers

 Things to bring for the crew

• Fishing gear and tackle - check out our sailboat fishing guide for all the details.
• Group flag - such as our Yacht Warriors flag! I ordered a custom burgee from bestflag .

• Dramamine for seasickness, extra band aids, neosporin, aloe, etc.
• Cash - it's a great idea to have a couple hundred bucks for each person. You'll need it for purchases such as mooring ball fees, trash pickup fees, and some restaurants might be cash only.
• Extra zip lock bags of various sizes
• Board game, playing cards, or dominoes - whatever the crew likes if games are your thing
• Floats - if you can rent them, we'd recommend just going that route. You can pack your own, but they take up space and are likely going to be thrown out at the end of the trip. I've taken a MONSTER float on a couple trips, but it always becomes way more work than it's worth.
• Flashlight or headlamp - bring a headlamp if you have one, but if you need one, your smartphone flashlight will probably be fine for the boat. You might want a real flashlight if you plan to take the dinghy ashore for dinner and return after dark.
• Collapsible cooler - for those shore excursions or storing extra ice on the boat. For some destinations, you could also pack meat in dry ice to bring with you. I like the TOURIT coolers. It's soft, so it can be packed or used as a carry on. They are also much more affordable than higher end coolers like Yeti or RTIC.  
• Waterproof speaker - believe it or not, some sailboats don't have external speakers that you can hear well while underway. You'll want a waterproof, portable speaker so that you can also take your sailing tunes ashore .
• Reusable drink cups , such as Yetis (get them personalized for a great trip souvenir)
• Dry bag - you don't need anything big, just something to fit phones in for a dinghy trip ashore. I've had a Sea to Summit dry bag for years - a 4L version should be perfect.  
• Paracord (550 cord) - you will find some many uses for this: securing fishing poles, tying on flags, making croakies for your sunglasses. Lots of color options are available online.  
• Spices - we always bring a basic assortment, salt and pepper at a minimum
• Hot sauce - I always pack some of my favorite all around hot sauce - Marie Sharp's. In Texas, I can get it at the local supermarkets, but you can also pick it up online. 

• Charts and cruising guides
• Fishing licenses (check local regulations)
• Drone (optional) - you won't regret it. Check out our trips to the Exumas, Bahamas or British Virgin Islands for some examples. I also post these pictures on our instagram profile.  
• Chefs knife or knife sharpener (optional) - this might sound silly, but I usually pack a well-sharpened kitchen knife since we are usually checking luggage for our fishing gear. We do a lot of cooking and working with a dull knife is the worst (and also dangerous)!
• Projector (optional) - OK hear me out. Yes I know we are going on a boat trip to cut the cords and enjoy the islands. It is sooo much fun, however, to watch Master and Commander or another favorite sailing movie (Captain Ron perhaps?) on the boat. We don't do it every night, but once or twice is fun! We hang up a sheet with duck tape and connect the projector via bluetooth to the boat's sound system. Check out our projector setup on our  Exumas trip.
