The staff were fantastic, warm, friendly, informative and calming...in my case. The boat was great with everything you needed, the hot showers thoroughly warmed me up after jumping... More

Hi Rob, Great feedback, thanks. The crew aboard the MV Calypso Star II just love their job and we are all very proud of the product we offer. Your feedback is important to us. Our charter makes a great "mates" trip or bucks show. In fact anyone in the family can do it. Hope you can come back again sometime... More
