As they say south of the border, FANTASTICO! Our group of six, all in their 30’s, chartered EL DON for a three-day Sea of Cortez adventure. I don't think Ernest Hemingway himself could properly explain, via this comment, how much fun we had. We saw almost every kind or marine life, snorkeled and fished. The food was excellent, the crew was professional and pleasant, and the views were spectacular. Gary, the owner, did a great job of professionally meeting our requirements and expectations, from food to excursions. He gathered all the information that was vital and ensured all our needs were met. After the cruise, we relaxed at his lovely house for 4 days as we watched hummingbirds and doves chill on his back patio. Finally, just when you think things can't get better, Gary set us up with a day of off-shore fishing where we caught two marlins, one sail fish, and 8 dorado... this kind of a package deal can only be described as five-star. Words don't do it justice so make sure you check out our scrapblog of the trip.

| We took the long weekend cruise Gary notes in his VRBO narrative. Having cruised some of the best waters of the world on similar vessels, the El Don experience rates high for value. The scenery and marine wildlife is second to none. The vessel is well maintained. The captain, crew and chef are safe and professional. If you are looking for warm water adventure and relaxation for a reasonable price, El Don is for you. |

| Out time aboard the EL DON more than met our wildest expectations. We enjoyed exploring beautiful islands with lovely sandy beaches; the water was the beautiful green-blue color that we swam in at anytime. The wildlife is rich - we saw large schools of amazing dolphins which swam with the yacht, fin back whales with their babies a short distance away, interesting birds, tuna swimming under the boat, turtles, sea lions and much more. The staff were exceptional!!! It was our cruise and they were accomodating to every adventure. We caught a manta ray, enjoyed delicious food throughout the day prepared by our experienced chef and slept under the stars. We hope to board the EL DON again!!! |
