Craft With A Sea Guest Reviews

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

FAMILY REUNION IN THE CARIBBEAN

Our family reunion in the Caribbean couldn’t have been better. Having the whole family together on board was really special, and Maxim made the week feel easy from the moment we arrived. He was relaxed, fun to have around and always made everyone feel safe and comfortable. He took us to some beautiful spots and quickly felt like part of the family rather than just our skipper. A week we’ll be talking about for a long time — thanks Max!
