Thank you for an amazing week together in the Exumas. The food, the drinks, the snorkeling, the sandbars – everything was spectacular! Highlights included “iguana” sandwiches, shell-hunting on sandbars, giant rays and sharkies, pirate Graham’s special cocktail presentation, maybe one too many cocktails, New Year’s Eve celebrations, Tequila Tuesday, eFoil crashes, wishes in the magic tree and a pig-free experience!<br />
<br />
We had an amazing week as a family thanks to your gracious hospitality and it was a pleasure to spend time with both of you. We are not sure who will fix our broken cocktail glass when we get home! You are the hardest working and best crew and this was our favorite charter by a mile! Wishing you a wonderful 2026.<br />
<br />
Thank you!
