maragata yacht charter day trip印象
-
I have chartered boats and taken day cruises all over the world. Matt Quintana is an excellent, safe, and fun filled boat captain whose main intent is for his charters to be an unforgettable experience. He surely made it so to my family and myself. At very reasonable prices, I strongly recommend Maragata Charters in particular their Catamaran for any boating you want to do out Palmas del Mar or Vieques. A very enthusiastic thumbs up for Matt and his Mate who made our Vieques experience top notch. Tony Quintana.

When you plan for 14 people of wide age range (18-73) and interests, you know it will be hard to satisfy everyone but this fit the bill! Capt. Matt and his first mate were great to work with. We chose to do a half-day private charter. We were staying at Palmas del Mar so had a short drive to the marina, for the 30 minute trip onboard the clean and safe catamaran (with restroom!) to Vieques. (I definitely recommend motion sickness pills if you are even slightly prone to nausea - just to be on the safe side!) We spent some time snorkeling - even though I have snorkeled many times, this was my first up close view of a sea turtle! Not everyone wanted to snorkel so some in the group spent time on the beach, others in the calm bay, and yet others just relaxing on board. We then did some trawl fishing on the way back - that wasn't as much fun because we didn't have any bites despite Matt and Frank's best attempts. It was a great morning adventure for all, at a reasonable price (under $100 pp incl tip)

What else can I say. Captain Matt is wonderful, knowledgeable and professional. We made an appointment to go out early the day we had to leave a little nervous we wouldn't have time to snorkel, fish and get to the plane but Matt assured us all would be fine :) Frank made us feel safe and comfortable in the water even when I had changed my mind about the idea of snorkeling. My children (11,13) and my mom got to see many fish, stingray and turtles while snorkeling with Frank and they LOVED it. My husband and son each got to catch a fish on the way back. It was an unforgettable experience that we will never forget and Matt got us back EXACTLY on time. The price of the trip was better and more inclusive than any other I found searching and searching online. I can't wait to do this again next time we go back to Puerto Rico. Thank you SOOO much for the amazing experience!

We stayed at Palmas del Mar for a week for our honeymoon and went out with Captain Matt and Sebastian on a snorkeling tour. It was a great time. They were both very friendly and helpful. It was my first time snorkeling and I'm hooked now. We swam with sea turtles, saw a stingray that was bigger than I was, saw some silly looking blow-fish. I think what made it that much more special for us was that the part of Vieques that they took us to was completely quiet. We were the only people I saw there that day. Sebastian was also pretty helpful in recommending places to go eat at in the area. :) I would note that this is a family deal, so while we were celebrating our honeymoon, there were families with kids with us as well. They happened to be great, so we had no problem with it... I just want to point out that you should be prepared for the possibility of spending the day with kids.

Our family (parents, kids 13,10,6, grandma, aunt and uncle) had a great afternoon snorkeling at Vieques with Captain Matt.Directions to find him were perfect. Matt was very easy to contact via phone and email arranging our trip. Both Matt and his mate Frank spoke very good English. We went out on his boat with several other families but the 18 people on our trip was not too crowded on the boat. We got lucky with a calm day. Float belts provided for those who wanted. Masks and snorkels were new and in good condition. Better than equipment I've used on other snorkel trips elsewhere.Frank who went into the water with us was great with our kids especially our 6YO who took a little while to get a hang of the snorkeling. It is of course still a parents responsibility to keep track of your kids. You are swimming in the ocean after all. We had one adult keep trAck of each of our kids.We saw two huge sea turtles, Coral, schools of fish, stingray. Trip done close to the shore so if someone tires or panics they can swim to shore and walk back to boat. Matt provided drinks (soda, water, beer) and snacks (cookies, crackers, nuts)Boat we'll equipped with a good bathroom, important for families. Boat was in immaculate shape. Safety briefing done at beginning to make sure everyone knew where life jackets and fire extinguishers were. Overall extremely professional and a local business man I can definitely suggest you support.

Chartered the boat for 9 people. Fantastic. Professional but very relaxed and friendly. Went for an afternoon of snorkeling on Vieques. Frank the first mate took us all around and found some great stuff--stingrays, sea turtles. Great trip, reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Captain Matt and Frank provided our group of 8, ages 9 to 75, with an unforgettable afternoon on the reefs of Vieques. It was a little rough on the way out, but worth every bump. The boat was beautiful and very well maintained. The snorkeling equipment was great. Captain Matt and Frank were knowledgeable and respectful of the area, very professional and so friendly. A special thanks to Frank for letting Hannah be his shadow so she wouldn't miss anything! Our only disappointment was the lack of cooperation of the local sea turtles, who had moved on for the day.

My wife and I went snorkeling on Matt's Cat (a 38' catamaran) while staying at Palmas del Mar. Capt. Matt and Frank provided us with a wonderful time. The trip to Vieques was very exciting (although a little too rough for a couple of the 19 guests.) The snorkeling at the island was great. Capt Matt was very personable and competent. From an 8-year-old girl to us seniors, a wonderful time was had by all.

We booked the boat for our family of 5 - kids aged 7, 10, 13. We plowed through the seas on the way over to the island to snorkel. While snorkeling the crewman guided us in the water and even took the younger kids back to the boat when they had enough so we could remain in the water. One the way back we threw some lines in the water. I have to say I had low expectations but we got 3 fish so each child could reel one in! Clean comfortable boat with a bathroom! It is obvious captain Matt takes pride in his service and equipment. Great operation and would highly recommend!

Thank you Captain Matt and crew for a great time for our two families. We booked a private tour and went to Vieques Island. We had a wonderful day with the excellent crew! We had two younger kids (11-12) and the crew was very good at watching and keeping track while we snorkeled. Extra eyes!Highly Recommend! Make your reservations early!
