Truly Magical Trip!
In short... we loved it! It was truly a magical trip for all of us.
Captain Brynn
Did everything in his power to meet or exceed all the requests on our preference sheets. All of the anchorages were beautiful and secluded (as much as possible). We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling at various locations -- and most of the time it was only our group. Awesome! We experienced being under sail (fantastic) and also motoring when conditions weren't good for sailing. We fished and hooked something large, but unfortunately it broke the line -- very exciting! We saw turtles, dolphin, and several reef shark from the boat, and swam with the nurse sharks. We enjoyed relaxing sunsets from the boat with refreshing cocktails prepared by Brynn.
Chef Erica
What an amazing chef! We had no idea that meals aboard would be fine dining experiences -- never a duplicated dish and all beautifully presented. It is amazing how she was able to prepare such elaborate meals while underway -- with quite choppy seas in some cases. Unbelievable!
While we all own boats and are accustomed to being on the water, none of us expected how much different (in a wonderful way) sailing would be from a motorboat. We are all looking forward to our next sailing vacation!
Captain Alejandro & Mate Mary
We’ve had an amazing trip!!! Capt Ale and Mary were absolutely fabulous, very accommodating and true masters at their craft! We fished, swam, snorkeled and relaxed! Food and drinks were on point! We were treated like absolute ROYALTY by our crew!! This will hopefully be the first of many charters for us and we will recommend you/Kittiwake/Capt Ale and Mary to all of our friends. In addition to all of the memories that we made on this trip, we also leave this experience with 2 new lifelong friendships in Ale and Mary. Thank you so much and God Bless!!
Christmas 2024 in The Bahamas!
Our trip exceeded our expectations. First off Ale and Mary could not have been nicer and more accommodating hosts.
Ale is a great captain and very knowledgeable. He took us fishing, took us to explore many different Island spots, taught us how to play card games, shared his nautical knowledge and made us some great drinks.
Mary is a great chef. She started working before we even arrived by procuring the food for the delicious meals she prepared. We have many food allergies and she was so accommodating and shared ingredients of each meal prior to serving them. The food preparation, presentation and tastes were all awesome! She has great recipes and every meal was just delicious. She prepared a great menu for our week to accommodate our family. She even decorated the boat for our Christmas celebration. From the time we landed to the time we departed she made all transportation arrangements which made traveling so much easier.
Both Ale and Mary worked tirelessly to make sure our family had a trip of a lifetime and got to have a wonderful experience in the Bahamas. Thighly recommend Kittiwake and Ale and Mary for anyone looking for a trip of a lifetime and am glad to have made some new friends!

Memories That Will Last a Lifetime
We have a lot of wonderful memories - ones that will last a lifetime for our family.
Favorite moments:
Danger reef - seeing the reef sharks swimming around and feeding them from the fish we caught that morning.
Natural beauty which is so different from where we live: sharks, sting rays, iguanas, beautiful tropical waters, night skies, etc.
The food was soooo good. Mariana and Ale did a great job. The fresh tuna incorporated into the meals was great. Fresh grouper as well.
Enjoyed the morning travel of 2-3 hours and then spending the day playing and relaxing
We enjoyed the canopy over the Bote dock :)
Enjoyed the dinghy rides to see the area once we set up for the night
Overall the time with family uninterrupted was what we will treasure most.
