AMAZING !
Private Trip - Sunset Sailing on March 29, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

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

Wonderful Sunset Cruise
Private Trip - Sunset Sailing on December 30, 2025 • 5 adults

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.

Sunset & Night Fishing Feast on April 6, 2026 • 2 adults

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!

The perfect end to our trip
Private Trip - Sunset Sailing on April 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

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!

Sunset cruise
Private Trip - Sunset Sailing on February 16, 2026 • 7 adults

We had a great time with the captain and crew! Unfortunately there was no wind for sailing but we enjoyed the scenery, snorkeling, great food and fun with the captain and crew. 7 of us fit ok but more would be too tight. Overall a great time and would recommend to anyone wanting to see the bay, snorkel, eat good food and enjoy good company!

As a captain, my experience has been both challenging and rewarding. Leading a crew and sailing through diverse waters has taught me the importance of teamwork, communication, and resilience. There is a unique thrill in being at the helm and making decisions that can affect everyone on board. My love for the sea runs deep; it is part of who I am. The vastness of the ocean provides an unparalleled sense of freedom and adventure. Every voyage offers new discoveries, from stunning sunsets to the serenity of calm waters and even the thrill of rough seas. The connection I feel with the ocean is profound; it inspires me and fuels my passion for exploration and leadership. Whether it is the sound of crashing waves or the sight of distant shores, the sea always captures my heart.
