Chillin Hut Guest Reviews

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

Raul was the best skipper ever. Super fun, responsible and ensured that we have a great time.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

Our skipper was exceptional! He went above and beyond to make sure my crew and I had a good time. I would recommend our skipper to any group of friends.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht

She made our experience truly five stars. Her food was stellar and presentation was top tier.
Every dish was somehow even better than the last. She also made sure our on and off boat time was well planned so we could enjoy every moment and she brought the best energy all week.
