Safety is our number one priority. If a guest is ill we reserve the right to return to the marina. However, for sea sickness, we usually do not return to the marina. We highly recommend that you purchase motion sickness (sea sickness medication) from the pharmacy prior to your trip and take the medication at least 30 mins before coming on board (read the instructions on the packet). Otherwise, the medication will unlikely work and you may have a miserable day. The medication will not work if you take it after you have already started feeling ill. Dont risk it. ‘Kwells’ are a good brand at the pharmacy.
Given our standard charter itineraries are meticulously planned and detailed, major deviations after the trip has commenced will unlikely be granted, and if they are, it will likely come at an additional cost. Small deviations will be at the discretion of the skipper. You should speak to our team if you want to plan a custom charter. Our team would be happy to help design one for you.
Laura Rogers2024-05-04 We had a great day with Tim on Dakota. The catamaran was very comfortable and we felt very safe with Tim. We would recommend booking a day out on Dakota with family and friends. James Wu2024-05-03 Excellent cruise in Singapore with Captain Tim in his Dakota (47ft Saona Catamaran). Even though it is raining before boarding. Captain Tim and his crew took care of us during the whole cruise trip. Enjoyed a wonderful evening with good friends from China. Valerie Lee2024-04-29 Here's a review for the yacht charter company: We recently had the pleasure of chartering the Dakota and we were impressed! The vessel was spotless and well-maintained, showing that the team takes pride in their fleet. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and attentive skipper and crew who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. (Tim and Ridwan, Thank you!) The yacht itself was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the journey. And the sound system was incredible - we had a blast dancing along to our favorite tunes! Kitchen was fully equipped with knives, glasses etc too which was very handy Overall, I would highly recommend this yacht charter company to anyone looking for a fantastic experience on the water.
