Calabaza sailing

I can not say enough about Gina and her crew . This is a great catamaran. The crew is fantastic, the food is very good and the sights are out of this world. We saw many turtles and thousands of fish with a small group this is must do. It is like being on a cruise.

You will not be disappointed. They take pictures in the water and post them on their website for you to download

Gina and her crew are the best. So much so that as soon as I booked a return cruise for November 2015, I emailed Gina and booked her again right away. Actually my group booked the whole Catamaran.

Gina is definately worth going again and again

I so agree! Sailed with Gina and her boys in June, and it was an absolutely FABULOUS DAY! Best day of the cruise, for sure!

Not only did she email all of the pictures of our day (tons of them!), but she also sent recipes for all of her wonderful lunch dishes!

A GREAT DAY!

Just booked with them for our cruise June 2015

Going to Barbados gulf first time next month. How much was the catamaran trip with Gina?

She quoted us $110 per person. Only 12 people go

It almost like a private charter

We did this last week. It was a fantastic day!!! The only glitch was that the taxi driver didn't have the correct paperwork to get inside the gates to the terminal so we had to walk to the outside of the security gates and wait for the taxi to pick us up there so that caused us to run about 10-15 minutes late all day. A different driver did take us back and took us directly to terminal.

The crew is fabulous! Boat is awesome! Easiest ladder to get out of the water ever!!! Food and beverages were continuous and delicious! Pix posted the next day and are great! Have never had a company do that before! That is a fabulous perk!!!

Be sure to take extra cash because you will definitely want to tip the crew well!!!

Highly recommend!

I hear Gina bought a second catameran. I wonder if these 12 person excursions will turn into both boats in the same place at the same time? Hopefully they will alternate sites. Anyone hear anything or sai recently with both catamerans?

Last week we were told that yes they have just bought a second cat and it will start next month. I did not ask any questions though!!! Sorry!

We have Gina booked 01, Oct 2014, I will report back about the 2 boat's and how it's handled.

They might use the 2ed boat for a completely different type tour.

I do remember him telling me though that a cousin will be the Captain and the boat is identical except 2 feet shorter. (45 instead of 47). I do not know though if it will have the custom made ladder which made for super easy access back in the boat.

Thanks Bases5 I will hold you to that. Have fun.

We have them booked for our January sailing on the Valor. Really hoping that we have the original cat and crew. :o

Just had to add my 2 cents on Calabaza. Our day with Gina and her crew was the highlight of our 2 week cruise. The food, hospitality, scenery, turtles, everything was perfect!!!! The best excursion we've ever taken. 😍

Yeah, so glad we booked with her!!

Our trip with Gina and crew was fantastic. I can't recommend them enough.

One thing that made the trip extra special was we actually sailed with the engines off.

It was so peaceful.

So many catamarans we have sailed on, put up a sail and still motor around.

As far as the second boat, It's still a work in progress. She said not until November if everything goes' OK.

That's good news, Bases! Thanks for the update. We're sailing in March.

Totally agree. We sat up front letting the sea spray cool us off. The bouncing of the catamaran as it went over the waves, was so relaxing and exciting at the same time!

Hi Sliderturk99, are you on the June 13 AOS cruise? We will be on that and have emailed Gina to see if there's availability but with only 12 people limit; I'm afraid we will be out of luck on this one.

If Gina doesn't have room, I HIGHLY recommend Cool Runnings. What a wonderful experience, great crew and delicious food and drink!

Thanks, I will. Is Cool Runnings very much like Calabaza? Do you know what the maximum number of people per excursion is? Their sites says a limited number but doesn't state how many.
