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! Brad,
Jody & Boys Bedford, NH "We just wanted to
once again thank you for making our experience aboard Makana a wonderful experience. It more than surpassed our expectations
and was a fun adventure that we'll remember for a long time. Your generosity in sharing your sailing skills, your knowledge
and the "live aborad" life was such an unexpected bonus! We count you amoung our newest friends. Best wishes."
(July 2011) Rick & Suzie Boston, MA Whatever yacht charter adventure
you are dreaming of, Makana is the place live your dream. Each charter is customized for the guests with a mix of pleasures
awaiting your arrival. Stroll historical sights and quaint shops or enjoy a laid back morning before taking a dip in the turquoise

BooBoo Hill where cruisers leave boat plaques for all to see.
We departed George Town and had a great sail north to Black Point. Its nice to be back in the crystal clear water, we'll remain
in the central Exumas for the next three weeks visiting the Land and Sea Park, Pipe Creek and some of our other favorite islands.
We had the opportunity last week to spend a few days in the Jumiento Cay's anchoring off Flamingo Cay. The area is to say
the least, remote, with not many cruisers visiting. The visability underwater was amazing, by far the clearest I've ever experienced.
The amount of sealife and coral was just as amazing. While there I speared a lobster and soon after a Snapper, while swimming
back to the dingy with the Snapper held out of the water on the end of my spear I turned around to see a Bull shark headed
my way! I'm pretty sure I broke Phelp's 100 meter record while swimming to the dingy.
