Cupcake Guest Reviews
Summer 2023
´It was a wonderful trip--we loved the crew! Captain Nick has built a great team of overqualified individuals that my wife kept saying doubled as models. We had various friends of ours join us on board for different days, which I know can be taxing on the crew, but not only was the chef prepared for more people, the whole crew made everyone feel welcome. They were very accommodating. Our friends had the time of their lives, most of them having never experienced something like that! And the boat´s sky lounge with the black jack table was an unexpected hit. The kids and the adults were up there every night for hours--it really brought everyone together. My whole family loved our trip on CUPCAKE. We never did get to catch tuna with Captain Nick though, so I guess we´ll just have to join them again.´
Winter 2023
All I have to say is WOW! And Thank you!!
Thanks for an amazing time that exceeded all expectations. The crew, led by Captain Nick´s skills (functioning way beyond his years),made the trip truly exceptional. The Interiors team rock-solid performance and the phenomenal chef, added to the outstanding experience. The attention to detail in boat cleanliness and the top-notch amenities (the beds, the sheets, the air conditioning, the water pressure in the showers)were simply outstanding. The tenders and seabobs made for perfect adventures, like swimming alongside a big turtle. My friends and I are still buzzing about this trip, with memories that will last a lifetime. Cheers to Cupcake and its crew for making us feel like royalty!
