Thank you for recommending Aqua Life. We like new / modern boats and this one was great — and a perfect size for our family.
The crew was amazing too. Very accommodating and proactive. The captain very professional and always looking for things we could do to stay entertained and have fun.

All in all, we couldn’t be happier.

Mrs. H relayed she will be sharing her experience and referring the yacht to her well-travelled friends. I believe they will be looking to come back and visit in the future. Captain Peter was exceptional to work with. I will definitely present AQUA LIFE without hesitation to appropriate clientele when the opportunity presents!´
Charter Broker, August 2022
´First let me start by saying THANK YOU! Ami, it is always a pleasure working with you and thank you for making this easy and enjoyable. Thank you for the initial reference on Captain Peter and his crew, you were spot on.
I am thrilled to say I have just wired a 22% tip for crew to the Aqua Life account!
The clients were absolutely thrilled with the yacht and the crew. They “had an amazing time” “could not have imagined or expected better” “the crew worked really well with the crew on Squalo and they all made it such a fabulous holiday and 60th celebration”.
I saw the coordination and teamwork that went into this on the WhatsApp group and you all did an amazing job. Captain Peter thank you for the tender transport back and forth and for all of the extra effort. You really went above and beyond, I truly appreciate it. As previous crew, I know what it takes and there would have been many captains that would have told me no. From start to finish you were the complete professional and always said we can make it happen. Thank you.´
