Cocktails & Dreams Guest Reviews

Captain Kelsey and chef Simon were outstanding

Captain Kelsey and chef Simon were outstanding. Simon prepared and presented meals that matched a level of fine dining found in top NYC restaurants. Kelsey took charge of the daily sails and knew the best spots to take us, places to snorkel and even a floating taco restaurant for lunch on floating tubes. At our invitation they joined us for dinner, we played table games and videoed our disco our disco evenings. The crew were very much a part of our fun times!

Gorgeous views, great food, and the BEST crew!
