We had a wonderful time and returned home with nice memories of our family holiday!

Despite our plane arriving an hour and a half late, the captain met us at the airport for a short taxi ride and then took us to the boat in the dinghy where we were very warmly welcomed by Fernando.  We were impressed with the spaciousness and cleanliness of the boat.  Everything was so well-organized.

Fernando is a wonderful cook and we looked forward to every meal and the lovely dinners he served every night.

Calliope is a good sailing yacht.  We trusted the sailing skills of both the captain and Fernando and sailed every day.  Our wishes were always taken into consideration. The last day we started sailing in the dark at 4am to see the sun rise and sailed until 2pm.  Everyone enjoyed this a lot.

The area is beautiful.  We saw dolphins, whales, sea turtles and lots of other fishes while snorkeling.

Thank you again for the great hospitality on Calliope.  All was very neat and clean during our stay.  I was surprised the first time you had folded our clothes after drying.

I think I gained weight from Fernando’s great cooking.  My leg of lamb is not that good when I cook at home.

You were all great hosts which made it fun to be on board.  With that large a group some times it is hard to not be in other people’s space, but you and the Calliope did a great job and we all had FUN.
