Private Boat 5 to 8pax - Coron Island Tour (Choose up to 7 destinations)

This tour was my favorite day out of our three weeks of travel through Indonesia and Philippines. The boat was perfect size for the eight of us and well maintained and the staff was absolutely fantastic. The captain kept us safe, the tour guide was wonderful for information and led us to incredible destinations and the chef made us a delicious lunch on the beach. Things could not have been any more perfect for our day.

Alan was very prompt to reply when I inquired about a quote and he was also openly communicative after I booked his catamaran and services. He was right on time to pick us up exactly where he said he would. He is very personable and easy to converse with and he has interesting stories! He’s very experienced, professional and also gives space for his guests to enjoy privacy. The catamaran was clean and perfect. Alan is also a wonderful cook and we loved the food. We definitely recommend booking with Alan!

One of the best activity you can do while staying at El Nido. Alan took us to lonely beaches, prepared lunch and took care of everything. Highly recommended.

Private Boat 5 to 8pax - Coron Island Tour (Choose up to 7 destinations)

Was well beyond my expectations Gerald the guide was a wealth of knowledge, professional and made sure that the day was completely catered to what, when and how we wanted to do things met us at our hotel and helped us navigate the markets and negotiated price and made sure we went to good suppliers, Ricky the cook and the deck hand made sure we where always looked after and turned what we bought into some of the best food I’ve had in the Philippines, and Mark the captain did a fantastic job getting us around to some of the most incredible spots I’ve ever dived. The three of them together made for an unforgettable day and it was so so much more than I could have expected and hoped for. Would recommend to anyone in a heart beat and if I ever get the chance to do it again I would recommend this boat with these three running it in a heartbeat !!

Great luxury island hopping, but not a sailing charter. The boat was very well set up and equipped (although some important equipment didn't work properly). The crew were friendly and helpful and cooked great Filipino meals for us. They knew all the local tourist spots and went out of their way to try and help us enjoy them. But they did not know how to sail. I blame the owner not the crew for this, but if you are looking for a sailing charter, whether to learn to sail (big mistake with crew that don't know how) or you are as ailor (you will be very frustrated) this is probably the wrong boat for you. Despite my request for a charter oriented to sailing, the crew was uncomfortable sailing in less than 10 knots or more than 15, and only on a reach. They said the boat wouldn't perform in less than 10 knots. Admittedly the sails were in terrible shape, but properly trimmed the boat would absolutely be capable of sailing in anything over 6 knots. They were afraid to short tack and couldn't conceive of sailing off the mooring even in ideal conditions and wind headings. None of this may matter to you, but you should know that this is essentially a power boat charter where you might be lucky to put up the sails for one or two brief periods. Also, the boat seems to have a serious problem with its electrical system. I don't know if it's insufficient or if the batteries are old, but despite 4-6 hours a day of motoring PLUS 4-6 hours a day of running the generator the crew said there wasn't enough power to run the WiFi (Starlink) when the generator was off. They were even concerned about running my 19 watt mini CPAP at night. I have owned multiple boats between 34 and 48 feet and crossed several ceans and I have never seen this sort of issue with an electrical system. It shouldn't exist on a fancy charter boat. (Also the GPS/Chartplotter was going on and off and the crew weren't confident navigating close to shore without it). If you just want to be on a sailboat but don't care at all about sailing this all may not matter to you. But as I stated at the beginning, this is not an opportunity to learn how to sail, nor is it an opportunity to do serious sailing (what I was hoping for). It is a chance to go to the tourist spots (sometimes at hours when others aren't there) with local guides and an excellent RIB.

From start to finish the trip was fantastic. Hugo was easy to work with setting up our itinerary and travel details. Once aboard the boat Henry (Capitan) and David (crew) were top notch. We spent 5 days bouncing around different islands to see different sites. The boat is well kept and has everything our family of 4 needed to feel safe and comfortable. The crew was knowledgeable about the area, their vessel and knew many of the local people we encountered. David's food was fantastic. He took care of us while on excursions and on shore showing us the way and what to look for. We have 2 small children who had a blast and we felt comfortable the whole time having them with us. We plan to book again and are sad we are now home instead of back on the boat! A+ trip for us.
