Charter Reviews
However, what made their experience truly exceptional was the crew. From the very beginning, they were attentive, friendly, and accommodating to all their requests and the many guest changes. Their warm professionalism created an inviting and relaxed atmosphere onboard.
The principal guest remarked that it was "the trip of a lifetime," and the other guests expressed their desire to charter IKIGAI again in the future.
Great boat and great experience for everyone, including us, the booking brokers.”
Some of the initial out dining options were not that great but Joren / Lotte found some better ones towards the end. Dining on board was excellent.
We had a great time diving as well.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
