If you travel to Barbados, you MUST spend some time on the Calabaza with Gina and her fantastic crew. Her 47 foot Cat is in perfect condition, she will sail you to places with incredible snorkeling....giant schools of fish and turtles that will swim right up to you. Gina is the owner and attends to every detail. She will serve... More

The boat is beautiful, sparkling clean and absolutely wonderful. Gina and the guys want to do everything they can to make you comfortable and have fun. There were 4 of us (women) and there about six others (all adults) and I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was, we were all like family cruising on our private yacht. I... More

Danny and crew did a fantastic job making the day one of the most memorable Caribbean experiences ever. We were the first boat to reach the area with the sea turtles which made it very intimate. Swimming with the turtles was what we had hoped for and more. The stop to snorkel at the reef was only lessened by the... More

This is my wife and my second time being on Calabaza while stopping in Barbados on a cruise. Each time has been outstanding. They only take max 12 people so it's more intimate and personal. From the time you board, you are treated like long lost friends and Gina and her crew go out of their way to make sure... More

I could opine for a while about the wonderful time my wife and I had on this cruise or how great the crew and boat is, but just look at the reviews preceding mine - this is hands-down the best cruise in Barbados. Gina, Andrew, and Chad took excellent care of us the whole time - Gina's cooking is not... More

Gina and crew does a fantastic job! Everything about this excursion was first rate. We took our two teenage daughters and they rated it the best and most fun thing we did on our week long cruise. If you visit Barbados you must let Gina and crew work their magic to make your sailing adventure unforgettable. More

The Calabaza delivered on all its promises. Swimming with the sea turtles was an amazing experience. Since the Calabaza keeps its passengers limited to 12 or so, we were able to get to the sea turtle area quickly and had the five or more turtles to ourselves. We next snorkeled over a wreck and a coral reef. After that was... More

Gina and the crew made us feel special, with only 12 on board it felt like our own boat with our own crew. As much food and drink as you could manage and the food was excellent. I would say that this was the highlight of our holiday not just the boat, but swimming with Turtles and colourful fish. Thank... More
