Comments Beautiful three-masted sailboat with amazing woodwork interior. Two cabins with bathrooms (we had one). Six cabins total. Twelve guests and five crew. The boat owner, John, was our captain for the week. It was a very comfortable, laid back week. Crew was very friendly. Boarded in Miami, went through customs in Bimini but spent entire week at sea diving from Bimini and traveling south to within 40 miles of Cuba. We never saw another dive charter. Got sails up a few times. Rough trip crossing from Miami to Bimini but smooth otherwise.

Dove own profile with an option of having a DM if requested. None to moderate currents. Good dive briefings. Good tank fills. Easy 10-foot drop from deck and good ladder coming out. Ability to spear lionfish on dives and fish en route to next site, and all were eaten. Small group so very flexible and relaxing environment. Healthy dive sites. Lots of big friendly turtles, playful Ramoras, sharks, and lots of other fish. I had a little shark sucker spend an entire dive on my legs. No wrecks really except the Sopano at the end as we checked out through Bimini.
