The captain and crew worked extremely hard to make sure we were comfortable and having the trip of our lives. We didn't expect the food to be as good as it was. We dined on fresh fish, filet mignon, and chicken, as well as started with soups and ended with desserts at every meal. We didn't reach for a single Powerbar in our stash the entire time! One crew member, Jose, was assigned as our waiter, and he was very attentive and a nice guy to boot.

There were two cooks, one waiter, the captain, and about six other crew members. These guys worked nearly 24/7. They were driving the boat at night, picking us up in the zodiacs (see picture) to transfer us to shore and back and for snorkeling, and in general just making sure we were all safe and well taken care of.

The ship was 100 feet in length. Our cabin was a moon cabin, located at the top of the boat, so it was a bit larger. We only had 10 passengers, but the boat can handle 16. I think it could be a little bit crowded with 16, but we felt very comfortable. The room was clean. The bathroom took some getting used to (as it is small, which is normal for yachts), but we did have our own private bathroom. There was a common area on the main deck and an upper deck in the back, as well as space to hang out at the front of the boat, which I did during one of our day cruises between islands.

I wish we could have stayed on the ship for a longer time. We are not used to receiving such royal treatment. If you book with the Coral II, you will not be disappointed!
