We did the sunset dinner catamaran experience with Captain James and everything was absolutely amazing. From the beautiful ship, delicious food, attention to detail, customer experience and wonderful itinerary, this truly was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend Captain James if you are looking for a top notch catamaran experience!

This was so much what we needed! Booking and communication was so good that we thought is was a reservation specialist. It was the captain and owner which made things very clear for us. I had a special request, which they nailed and we were off for our time on the water. Friendliest crew you’ll meet… we felt like we were out with old friends in the water. No hidden fees at the end and this wasn’t just a charter…they love what they do and it shows every minute you are on the water with them. We are going to repeat again when we are back in Florida.

The boat is beautiful with lots of space! We loved sunning on the front bow. The attention to detail was perfection. Mimosa’s upon arrival, pastries then charcuterie available all day. First mate kept your drinks full and plenty of water flowing. What a way to celebrate anything!

James went over and above to make sure our engagement sunset cruise was a success. Even when faced with difficult circumstances prior to the event that would have caused most captains to have to cancel, James found a way to maintain the reservation and pull off an incredible experience. I would highly recommend him and his crew.

My trip with James was the best boat experience I have ever had! We had a group and every person had an amazing time! I felt like we were guests on Below Deck, because we were treated so special and welcomed with champagne upon arrival. The boat was beautiful, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience! I will definitely be booking again when we come to visit!

We look forward to sailing and creating memories with you. Mahalo.
