Me and my boyfriend went on the boat Palilu with Renato and his crew and we had the best time. The snorkeling was amazing and we took an additional dip in the water when we were closer to shore. Everyone was so nice attentive to details and celebrations of the people on the boat. We had a lot of fun!

uch an incredible catamaran experience! The entire crew was fantastic and you can truly tell they love what they do. A special shoutout to Renato, who was an amazing host. Extremely attentive, warm, funny, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. His energy really elevated the experience. Captain Lalo and sailors Fau and Pepe were professional, friendly, and made the trip feel smooth and safe. The boat, PALILU, was beautiful and very well maintained. Everything felt thoughtful and well organized from start to finish. Highly recommend this trip, I would absolutely do it again!
