Our yacht the Solaris was a great choice for us.

Seth Derman

On the boat, Jorge Torres was our guide. WOW! It is hard to express how genuinely lucky we feel to have spent our time with him. In all the trips we've done with guides, he was at the top in my experience. His knowledge of everything and understanding of the animals and the island's history was a joy to consume from such a willing teacher. His charm and demeanor along with a willingness to engage and interact made the trip an educational and adventure success. I would gladly spend time in this amazing place with him in the future.

Patrick Hutchins

The Solaris's staff was exceptional. The naturalist, Pepe, was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and a real delight. The crew was helpful and warm. The food was delicious, prepared with care, and our dietary preferences were respected with a smile.
