I had an unforgettable experience with Octopus Sailing Charters!
I had an unforgettable experience with Octopus Sailing Charters! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The crew was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and well-cared-for. And of course that our drinks were full.
10/10 would go again.
I cannot recommend this enough. The staff were incredible! Particularly Jose, he was very entertaining at check in while we eagerly awaited the second boat to pick us up to the catamaran. This was a great start to the tour. We all had smiles as we boarded.
The food was good & the staff always made sure we had a drink. Swimming was so much fun! An adequate amount of time at each place to snorkel & explore.
