Additional comments about the yacht and captain?
We sailed on the Freestyle in April 2022. Capt. Chris was a consummate professional, extraordinary captain and very easy to get along with. He was very accommodating to our schedule and laid back attitude made the pace of our trip our own. We felt as though we had our own private guide and local at every stop we made with excellent recommendations for shopping, restaurants and snorkeling.

8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
This was our second trip on Starfish and we couldn’t be happier. We enjoyed every single minute of our trip. Sam and Jen work tirelessly to make sure that everyone was comfortable. Part of our group wanted to snorkel, some wanted to beach. Sam and Jen made sure that each person had their vacation goals met. The meals presented were incredible! I don’t know how they do it! Jen, you are a master of your craft!
