Our three days on the Carmelita were incredible. Rowing, swimming, playing our multitude of instruments and singing on the fantail were just a few of the activities we partook in as the stunning scenery jutted out from all angles. We alternated between hiking on the gorgeous and rugged beaches and hills and being underway around a miriad of islands. Hungry? Hot appetizers on the foredeck. Beverages? Enough to list the ship. I felt we ate all day and had to go ashore to hike just to make room for the next incredible meal! There was plenty of social room in the salon and more than adequate areas for private conversations.

It was far more pleasant and intimate for our group than on a larger cruise ship. I couldn't think of a better way for my family to get reacquainted, socialize, and reminisce than on this beautifully restored vessel. And then there was the interaction with Captain Peter and the crew. We learned to navigate, man the helm, weigh anchor and poke around in the engine room, much to the delight of this crowd! My father called it the most memorable "Boy's trip" ever and can't wait to go again. His only remorse was that the trip wasn't long enough. (When are they ever?:))

Thank you again for providing the perfect chemistry for our get-a-way: Wonderful location, romantic vessel, attentive crew, and exciting discoveries! It's time to book another adventure soon!

Cordially,

Henry Brown
