Ammonite Guest Reviews

Primary Charter Guest

´Our Ammonite charter exceeded expectations. Our group of adults and teenagers enjoyed snorkeling and other underwater adventures in The Bahamas. Ammonite offered endless fun with spearfishing, trolling, diving, paddleboarding, kayaking, skiing, and wakeboarding. Captain Damian and Lotte taught us new activities, and Kylie impressed us with delicious meals. Even on a rainy day, the crew entertained us with a murder mystery dinner. We relaxed, confident in the crew´s care and well-planned itineraries. An ideal family adventure—you won´t be disappointed! ´
