12 Knots レビュー 

My wife and I booked the catamaran, 7-days cruise in the Exumas, in a Lagoon 620 catamaran with 6 cabins.  We loved it!

There were a total of 12 passengers on our Catamaran, with different nationalities: American, French, Brazilian and German. People ages varied from 26 year old to maybe 40 year old. We were the oldest couple, 64 and 66 year old. Our cabin had a private bathroom, and it was bigger than we expected. We had delicious breakfasts and were served dessert with lunch and dinner every day. Beverage options included table wine, soda, juice, but no beer. The chef made my wife gluten free meals, which we requested in advance. The captain spoke English, Portuguese and French. He was an experience sailor, had a great personality and easy going. 

The Exumas are extremely beautiful and the colors of its water are incredible. In a lot of places, we got 4-5 different tons of blue/turquoise/green. People doing a regular cruises in huge cruise ships,  never will have the experience of sailing in a very shallow waters that only catamarans allows it. We expected to spend more time snorkeling and at the beautiful beaches than we did. In our opinion, the itinerary with several stops, did not allow much time in any location. The Exumas Park and Staniel Cay are breathtaking and worth spending the entire day in each one. Shroud Cay exploring the mangrove river was not our cup of tea.    

It was our first time in a sailing boat and we simply loved a catamaran, a stable, comfortable and spacious boat. It was one the best vacations we had and we are planing to do another catamaran cruise maybe at BVI or Grenadines.

Yacht was perfect - plenty of space and nooks to hang out in. Having sailed on a monohull before, the personal bathroom for each cabin on the catamaran was much appreciated. A/C in cabins was very nice. Plenty of hot water for showers.

Our captain was Damien and he was very safety conscious and knowledgeable. His heavy French accent was sometimes tough, but if we didn’t understand, we’d ask him to repeat the explanation and he obliged. Our chef was Ina, and she was amazing —— treating us to a wide variety of wonderful dishes throughout our voyage. We would sail with this crew again in a heartbeat!

There was WiFi on the boat and our baseball team was in the MLB playoffs, so we enjoyed catching an evening game on the front of the boat, looking at the stars at
the same time. We also tried paddle boarding for the first time!!!
