Memories of a lifetime.
I also wanted to compliment them for your amazing customer service and management. Last but not least I want to compliment the amazing crew. I run a business with 60 employees and know how hard it is to find good people that work hard and care about what they do. Nick, Jade, and Jontey were amazing and treated us like royalty.
feb 2024 Maldive
Captain Nick is very safety conscious and we felt completely safe with him at the helm. Chef Jade is a fabulous cook. The two complement each other very well – you have a great team onboard. The weather didn't always cooperate but these two made sure we had a great time! We were not expecting such wonderful service - were treat like a king and queen for the week.

We had an amazing holiday sailing on shantaram. We loved the snorkeling, fishing, sailing the Blue waters and the delicious food. Nick, Jade and Jonty thank you so much for your amazing effort. You learned us how to freedive and appreciate the ocean and we loved it. We had the best time and we will be back.
