 Testimonials
 
 "With a husband in the Navy, we have traveled to many places but nothing quite beat our experience aboard Makana. My husband and our teenage boys flew into Exuma, Bahamas and met this 38' catamaran at the Four Seasons marina. We were greeted by the captain, Rick, and his lovely wife, Katie, and their darling 7 year-old daughter and cabin girl, Hoklani. While aboard, we took in sunshine, great food, beautiful sites, and crystal clear water. We explored Stocking Island and took an excursion to Georgetown and Hooper Bay. A highlight included a local sharing his recipe for Conch Salad and then the next day snorkeling to find our own conch. If you really want a vacation where you truly experience something better than a hotel room, we strongly recommend a voyage on Makana. We hope to get aboard again soon!
