We highly recommend this amazing adventure aboard Luna, which exceeded our expectations in early 2023! Fabi spoiled our group with delicious, healthy, and beautiful meals and appetizers, and we had a blast guessing the beverage ingredients while sipping on Nim's tasty cocktails before he manned the grill. Luna is kept spotless by this hard-working team, and their expertise on the USVI, sailing, snorkeling, safety, and wildlife was so interesting and helpful. They provided personalized touches for each guest - from meals, to snorkeling spots, to onshore activities, to itinerary choices, to fun music - even a disco ball and captain hats were brought out on our last night after Fabi saw us dancing one afternoon. We loved their senses of humor and so appreciate them sharing Luna with us. They worked so hard to make our trip perfect, but they made it look effortless.
BEST BIRTHDAY TRIP EVER!! We spent a week aboard Luna in July 2020 to celebrate my birthday. Nim and Fabi made the entire trip completely custom to our requests and even threw in some special surprises. Fabi's cooking was top notch. We are well travelled and her meals were fantastic. We had some food allergies and she was more than accommodating and was so inventive with her menu. Nim was also a great host. He makes the most delicious sunset cocktails . We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations regarding his vast sailing experience and just hanging out with Fabi and Nim. The rooms were very nicely put together and fit my 6'3'' husband comfortably. Luna is spacious and with three couples we never felt crowded. There is plenty of room for everyone. Nim and Fabi exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to book Luna. It will be a bucket list experience. We cannot wait to return! - Lindsay & Rodger W.
I can mega-ditto all of the wonderful comments that other guests have shared concerning their experiences and adventures on the LUNA! A lovely, pristine, and comfortable catamaran, hosted by the best Captain, Nim and his First Mate and extraordinary CHEF, Fabi. We were a party of 6 friends, and didn't really know what to expect, but all that I can say is that we were ALL overwhelmed with the sailing, the snorkeling, the swimming the hikes, the beautiful and delicious meals, and the welcoming atmosphere. The week went by way too quickly so now we are planning our next sail with Nim and Fabi on their LUNA! This is one adventure that you should pull out of your "bucket list" and GO ABOARD! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Nim and Fabi and see you soon! -Nancy & James M.
We recently had an absolute dream vacation with Nim and Fabi aboard Sail Luna. From the time we first contacted Fabi through our last goodbye hugs after the trip, we were blown away. The communication was very fast and effective. We were never left with any questions unanswered. We were confident from the moment we booked that we made the right choice. Our expectations were even further exceeded once Fabi and Nim greeted us at the dock and we boarded their beautiful vessel. The cabins are comfortable and well-appointed. We also can’t say enough about how amazing the food was. Fabi needs her own cooking show! She took great care to accommodate every request. Nim’s skills as a captain, tour guide, event planner, etc. were extraordinary too. Oh and he’s a super bartender/mixologist too! This trip was a dream and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks, Fabi and Nim for a wonderful, memorable trip. All our best to you both!
