All the guides on the boat were excellent and very knowledgeable. It is clear how important the guide is to the whole experience and we feel very lucky to have had such knowledgeable and interesting people.

The Coral II in the Galapagos was excellent--great service, food, and the naturalists were first class.

Galapagos Traveler

As an owner of a small cruise vessel in this class, I was impressed with both the facility and level of service. I had the lowest fare room but it was still suitably roomy, clean, well ventilated and the en-suite bathrooms on Coral II are a luxury. The guest to crew ratio was high, and quantity and quality of food was excellent. Very organized outfit, always on time, very customer-service oriented.
