Captain Gasper + Crew
Was an amazing vacation! The crew was 1st class and one of the best I have had in over 15 cruises. The food & presentation was excellent. Our chef Lindsey was the best I have had in over 30 years of travel. 5 STAR!
Ian, our 1st mate was very knowledgeable and disciplined so we felt safe and well taken care of. This catamaran and crew is no question a 5 star crew! We will be back and wouldn´t use any other boat or crew!
Thank you and God bless!

April 2019
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
