5.00Amazing day on the Hakuna Matata out of Phillipsburg. The captain Peter was very personable and Riki (sp?) is just wonderful and bubbly and engaging. Pick up was on time and we went to two separate beaches - Mullet Bay and La Samanyna. Both beaches are stunning. We saw a ton of fish. We were fed 3 meals. Light breakfast. Sandwiches for lunch and a grilled dinner. Food was yummy. Totally recommend and would book again. Take Dramamine as going back can be a little wavy at the end of the tour. But it was so fun. Thank you for an amazing day! 10/10

5.00We had 17 people in our group…8 adults and 9 kids. What a great trip! Captain Peter and Ricky were amazing…there was something for everyone, food and drinks were on point. We have been chartering private boats together as four families for the past four years and this is one of the best…you won’t be disappointed!
Great Day on the Catamaran. 🙂
