MAHASATTVA GUESTS COMMENTS
Wild and Luxurious
Dear Riley, Glen and Airiana. What a wild and luxurious ride! We came as a family and left as a team of e-foiling pros!
The drunken pirates of Willy T's didn't stand a chance against drunken moms of the Soggy Dollar Bar.
We'll wake up in San Francisco dreaming of balsamic pearls and yogurt pancakes.
Shoutout to dive master extraordinaire Airiana - some of the best dives we've ever done!
Thank you Riley, Glen and Airiana. You made us feel welcomed, safe and cared for every minute of every day. This was truly one of the most unforgettable vacations we've ever had! We hope to see you again next year!

Professional and Fun Attitudes!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! What an amazing time our group had in spite of maverick rogue swimmers, sea sickness (minor), a random mix of people who didnt know each other well but got to know each other VERY well.
thank you fro your impeccable attention to every detail to make us feel incredibly taken care of. This trip has made an impression on all of us and it wouldn't have been the same without your professionalism and fun attitudes.

Can't Thank You Enough
Thank you Maha crew!
We were catamaran newbies and are leaving now the biggest fans of all!!
This was far too short of a trip and we will for sure be back and be back for longer! Can't thank you enough for showing us the most special places and also putting your special touches on every moment.
Ariana - our scuba trip!
Riley - hiking with the rest of us and dinghying us everywhere!

The Crew Made The Trip
Wow! What a week!!! To have our family all together on Mahasattva was one of the best vacations of our lives. As great as this beautiful vessel and scenery is, the crew truly made the trip perfect.
Captain Riley, Chef Glen and Chief Fun and energy Airiana took the experience to another level. Riley made us all feel relaxed with his professional control of the boat at all times, plus the constant running us around on the dinghy.
Glen's cooking skills were amazing and he constantly out did himself.
Airiana brought energy to everything we did and had a wonderful way of making us all feel comfortable at all times.
We will be back!! But first my liver needs to recover :)

Magnus is the best!!! Exceeded our expectations at every turn. Hope to be able to sail with him again. Jade and Jessi are awesome. The food was fantastic and no matter what curveball we through at her she handled it seamlessly and professionally. Jessi was great as well. Whether it be teaching us how to scuba dive or making the cocktail of the day, she always had a smile on her face and made us all feel special. Yacht was perfect and there was always plenty to do on the boat. Unicorn is a special animal... The food and drink was superb. Like I said earlier, we had very high expectations of our trip and every aspect was exceeded.

Our family had such a memorable week on the MAHASATTVA. The yacht is exquisite in its beauty but what makes it exceptional is the crew who quickly became wonderful friends. Captain Magnus, Chef Jayde, First Mate Ian - you couldn't have been more accommodating, the sail was wonderful, the food was exceptional, the coffee and drinks were fantastic. We can't thank you enough for welcoming us, and allowing us to create cherished memories!

Was an amazing vacation! The crew was 1st class and one of the best I have had in over 15 cruises.
Our crew was very knowledgeable and disciplined so we felt safe and well taken care of. This catamaran and crew is no question a 5 star! We will be back and wouldn't use any other boat or crew!
Thank you and God bless!

Thank you ever so much for arranging our vacation trip on Mahasattva. We are on our way home and still in a state of euphoria. The boat is beautiful; it’s new and maintained to perfection.The crew attended to our every desire and anticipated our pleasures way beyond our expectations. The chef worked around our dietary request (gluten-free) and made each meal a culinary treasure. The crew were fun and engaging but respected our privacy when we wanted to be alone. The skipper was expert, flexible and kept us informed at the ideal level for each of us. This was the best vacation we’ve ever had; we’ll be doing it again and highly recommend it to your other clients. I’d be happy to talk with prospective boaters if it’s helpful to you
