Muchas gracias, Belén y Diego, por esta valoración tan positiva y, sobre todo, por haber decidido pasar vuestras vacaciones navegando con nosotros. Ha sido un placer teneros a bordo y haber compartido esas dos semanas tan especiales. Esperamos haber cumplido vuestras expectativas y volver a recibiros tan pronto queráis. Un abrazo.
Muchas gracias, Gustavo, por tu valoración. Nos alegra que hayáis disfrutado vuestro tiempo a bordo con nosotros, habéis sido unos pasajeros ejemplares, además de una familia entrañable. Nos complace enormemente que conservéis un buen recuerdo de esta experiencia; para nosotros también ha sido muy agradable y esperamos poder recibiros nuevamente a bordo. Un abrazo.
Great hosts, very comfortable vessel, excellent music, delicious freshly prepared food, all nestled in the midst of exotic paradise. A connoisseur of the best spots in the Archipelago, Alvaro took us to a different island every day, which provided for smooth sailing and a new setting filled with new opportunities to satisfy our curiosity. Jump in the water, snorkel and immerse in a different world. Take one of the kayaks and explore pristine islands and white sand beaches. While snorkeling, we saw parrot fish, lion fish (very rare), sea stars, banks of sardines and many others. Alvaro also took us on a tour with a local Kuna family, who gave us a detailed description of their own Kuna Genesis. Be sure to bring ice and a good book ! And don't forget to gaze at the sky at night. Fantastic!
Alvaro was happy to let us set the tone and pace for our cruise: the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. It is not always easy to find something that pleases three generations of a family--from grandparents to young children. He was so great with the kids: playful and encouraging them to try new things. Having our own private island for a day, enjoying the crystalline water, and discovering the pristine coral reef were experiences I will not soon forget! The boat is beautiful and comfortable and each and every meal was outstanding--revolving around fresh seafood bought from the local community. Yes, we regret we could not have stayed more than two days!
We spent such a great time in the Grenadines with Alvaro, the best skipper and host you can get. He made sure we had a fantastic time on his boat. Even though he had to take care of the boat, he still had time to help us, bring us to the beach, provide snorkel gear, taking pictures while we were kiting all day long.

Gracias, José, por tu opinión y por habernos regalado tu carisma y vitalidad en esta gran aventura. Ha sido un viaje muy hermoso y productivo, en el que todos hemos aprendido algo de los demás; una experiencia memorable que nos encanta haber compartido con gente como tú. Si decides volver a elegirnos para un próximo crucero a vela, esta tripulación estará encantada de recibirte nuevamente a bordo. Buen viento!
Alvaro was a great host. We stayed on his boat for 2 nights. Nine of us slept comfortably in our rooms. We all agreed we could have stayed on the boat longer! He took us to several beautiful islands. It was smooth sailing on the catamaran. The food was delicious, freshly prepared. Our kids had a very special time. Alvaro was wonderful and did many fun things with them...ride around in the dingy, dive off the catamaran, help him drive the boat. We kayaked several times (2 came with the boat). We snorkeled, saw amazing coral and fish.I highly recommend this catamaran adventure for families with kids or with friends. It was an magical time.
Muchas gracias, Ale, por tu comentario. Saber que habéis disfrutado de vuestros días en el mar con nosotros es lo que más nos satisface y lo que nos motiva a seguir haciendo esto un poco mejor cada día. Ha sido muy divertido teneros a bordo y nos alegrará enormemente que volváis algún día. Un abrazo y buen viento!
My wife and I spent a week aboard with Alvaro and his crew(Dalia, who was on board while we were there), and the tone of the trip was set on meeting Alvaro. As we stepped aboard, a relaxed yet highly competent feel aboard a modern perfectly maintained 48 foot catamaran. I am a kiteboarder(I brought my gear)and had the ultimate smooth water islands to myself for days, kiting from island to island at times, buzzing the beach and palm trees of deserted islands. Somewhat technical launch spots and reefs/rocks to avoid at times and also moderate currents so not a place to learn to kite in general. When the wind eased up, worked the waters hard with Alvaro teaching me to spearfish(not as easy as it seems!), really exciting, saw nodriza(non aggressive sharks), rays of all kinds, etc etcThe two kayaks are a great way to get around and explore the amazing islands, most uninhabited, you pay a minimal 3$ fee to the local Kuna family if one lives on it.Fresh fish, lobster, crab or octopus daily to eat, also with a day with fresh baked bread!We were made part of his contact and friendship with the local Kunas, a kind and gentle folk that gave us nothing but smiles and good vibes.San Blas, simply the most exquisitely remote and beautiful warm water place on earth, and I have traveled a bit. See it now if you can, since it will inevitably change with time, as we know it will... Read my wife Marion's review which will be better written and more eloquent than mine :)Thanks Alvaro, see you in December with the rest of the family! Vale!
