Rachel R. Jersey City, NJ, USA
The level of detail provided in Neptune's Daughter's itinerary allowed us to explore hidden coves and visit remote islands that you would have NEVER been able to access otherwise.
The preparation and tools provided allowed us to have an unparalleled experience cooking meals aboard, toasting to sunsets, sailing in crystal clear waters, and seeing the beauty of nature from the water. I'm already planning my next trip!
Tony K. Brooklyn, NY, USA
I went on my first sailing vacation a few years back. I had an amazing time, experienced a whole new side to sailing, and made new friends I have to this day. I have since been on numerous sailing vacations booked with Neptune’s Daughter, each as enjoyable as the last. We have sailed diverse waters such as the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean. All in all - I highly recommend working with Capt. Nitzan of Neptune’s Daughter!
Kati V. New York, NY, USA
Wanted to drop you a line to say how much I enjoyed the trip to Belize. I was a little nervous about living on a catamaran for a whole week, especially since I’m prone to seasickness. But, it all turned out really great. It’s a marvel to experience the world from the seascape for a change - it gave me a whole new perspective! And my new favorite activity is snorkeling!
Gordon U. Corrales, NM, USA
We have gone on two sailing weeks with Neptune’s Daughter. They were so well organized, from the pre-boat meetings to the pre-launch preparations to the event schedule and final cleanup. We had such a great time, even when dealing with the hiccups that are inevitable on a sailing trip. And both Nitzan and Ed are clear, generous teachers, you learn as much as you are able each time. I would absolutely recommend ND to anyone looking to escape reality for a week of sun, surf and sail!
