Magnus is the best!!! Exceeded our expectations at every turn. Hope to be able to sail with him again. Jade and Jessi are awesome. The food was fantastic and no matter what curveball we through at her she handled it seamlessly and professionally. Jessi was great as well. Whether it be teaching us how to scuba dive or making the cocktail of the day, she always had a smile on her face and made us all feel special. Yacht was perfect and there was always plenty to do on the boat. Unicorn is a special animal... The food and drink was superb. Like I said earlier, we had very high expectations of our trip and every aspect was exceeded.

Our family had such a memorable week on the MAHASATTVA. The yacht is exquisite in its beauty but what makes it exceptional is the crew who quickly became wonderful friends. Captain Magnus, Chef Jayde, First Mate Ian - you couldn´t have been more accommodating, the sail was wonderful, the food was exceptional, the coffee and drinks were fantastic.

Comments:
For the first time in our lives, we wanted no agenda - and that is what we had - no agenda/itinerary; we sailed when we were done swimming and kayaking, we ate when we were hungry - we never really knew what time it was unless we smelled the wonderful aromas from the kitchen! - PERFECT!

Was an amazing vacation! The crew was 1st class and one of the best I have had in over 15 cruises.
Our crew was very knowledgeable and disciplined so we felt safe and well taken care of. This catamaran and crew is no question a 5 star! We will be back and wouldn´t use any other boat or crew!
Thank you and God bless!

Thank you ever so much for arranging our vacation trip on Mahasattva. We are on our way home and still in a state of euphoria. The boat is beautiful; it’s new and maintained to perfection.The crew attended to our every desire and anticipated our pleasures way beyond our expectations. The chef worked around our dietary request (gluten-free) and made each meal a culinary treasure. The crew were fun and engaging but respected our privacy when we wanted to be alone. The skipper was expert, flexible and kept us informed at the ideal level for each of us. This was the best vacation we’ve ever had; we’ll be doing it again and highly recommend it to your other clients. I’d be happy to talk with prospective boaters if it’s helpful to you
