“Beautiful morning on the water - What a beautiful day sailing! Tino was the best~the place was easy to find~ he was very prompt~ he had the expertise in sailing~ a pleasure to talk with~ and flexible with what we wanted to do. My husband and I were the only two on the boat and decided we didn’t want to snorkel~ although we did wade in on the little island while walking along the shore~ my big excitement was being shown how to sail the boat~It was just an all around fun morning. Highly recommend!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-18
