We had an absolutely wonderful time on Catamaran Kismet! We spent seven incredible days with Shawn and Shari. Every single meal was delicious and food ranged from steak to fresh lobster and crab. We spent time on uninhabited islands and we got to mingle with locals as well. This was a life-changing trip for us. Today (our last day) we are on the boat, headed to port, and already dreaming of a return visit. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful experience, Shawn and Shari are excellent hosts, we had a great time. We had the catamaran just for us, super comfortable and clean. Shari is an excellent cook and very fun, Shawn is a very good captain, he knows the area very well and we had a comfortable and safe navigation. We had a great time on New Year's Eve, we had lobster and crab for dinner! The sea in the area is calm and warm, we spent a lot of time in the water! We recommend this lovely experience.The boat was quite nice. It had showers, locking bedrooms with windows, a front deck, back deck, etc. It was perfectly clear and had every amenity I needed. It must have been a very expensive boat. It seemed to be brand new or very recently purchased. It was also quite private. My girlfriend and I had all the space and privacy we wanted when it was time to relax and avoid the crew. Food was excellent and healthy, the crew had excellent service, and San Blas was amazing. Stellar snorkeling, spear fishing, kayaking, etc. I write such a long review because I'm so grateful to Giorgio and the team. Really a one of a kind that I am grateful for and vigorously endorse!

Our week with Shawn and Shari was AMAZING! A vacation of a lifetime: relaxing, inspiring, beautiful and filled with adventures. The San Blas Islands are stunning, with snorkeling to match the best we've experienced in the Caribbean. The star-gazing at night was "heavenly." What made our Kismet experience extra special were the warm and wonderful hosts, who ensured we had a wonderful time. Shari's cooking was delicious & abundant, and she served a variety of tasty meals all week, accommodating a gluten-free request, and creatively making meals from available fresh fish, meat, fruits, and veggies. Shawn navigated us to an assortment of picture perfect islands, and led us on daily snorkeling adventures. We were delighted to see rays, squid, sharks, & an assortment of other fish & incredible coral. So much fun! We loved experiencing boat life first-hand, and learning about conservation (e.g.: power & water) and safety. We felt pampered and are grateful to new friends Shawn & Shari :-)
