Private Trip - Sunset Sailing
We booked the boat as a family (2 kids 6-9) for an afternoon, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The sunset was absolutely stunning. We had to swim quite a long distance to see the fish because there was a lot of wind and current during our visit, but the exercise was worth it. We spotted a turtle and many beautiful, colorful fish. The music and food on board were great and really added to the atmosphere. I recommend bringing cash for payment, as paying via PayPal incurs an additional fee. This beautiful experience will stay with us for a long time. Thank you to the entire team! Vanessa

Sunset & Night Fishing Feast
One of the most magical evenings we have ever had on the sea. The crew was fantastic. One of the crew members even took pictures when I proposed to my fiancé. Incredible dinner cooked on the boat after watching the sunset. Night fishing under the stars to end the night. Highly recommend!

We had a stunning sunset cruise with the amazing crew on Surfari. They took great care of us and our two 10&11 year old daughters. We went snorkeling which was like something out of National Geographic - they educated us on what fish we’d seen and we even witnessed two giant turtles mating. The on board food was delicious. We couldn’t recommend highly enough!

The boat is older but perfect. Has nice shade cover on deck. The crew is fantastic. Great personalities and the snack they served were so fresh and delicious. Chef Adrian was on it! "Taka" guided us on a snorkel adventure and entertained us with his stories and laughter. Frecia was great to work with, a caring and helpful partner to the crew. We had lots of fun and highly recommend.
