It was the perfect experience – and tough to leave the idyllic Aboco Islands. Our captain Ethan was the perfect leader for our adventure. He was skilled, so capable, and determined we would have nothing but the best of experiences! We had fun filled days, exceptional excursions, and so much fun laughing and exploring the Bahamas! His joy was contagious! We loved it all – feeding turtles and rays squid from between our toes, the board meeting at Hippy Beach, and feeding fish our salad veggies at Mermaid Reef. We always knew we were safe – whether we were diving, snorkeling, sailing, or simply settled for the night. Ethan was an amazing problem solver, teacher, and guide…. We would follow him anywhere. His first mate/ Chef, Dani, was delightful and a perfect match to the 2person team. Beautiful, kind and so absolutely skilled in making our meals. There was always copious quantities, always fresh- and oh so wonderfully delicious! When “we” caught two HUGE mutton snappers, Dani prepared a feast/for dinners and amazing appetizers! And she brought fun and joy to the group. We loved our boat- the layout, amenities. and impeccable cleanliness – the “crew” – the itinerary – and our fellow shipmates. We did NOT want to leave!
