Guest Comments

Greetings Maureen,

To let you know we ALL had a fantastic trip on Karibeer, & will recommend this boat anytime. & Chuffed I booked it again for 3 weeks time.Crew was great & very pleasant/helpful,  always keeping the boat nice & clean. Food was great & well prepared, Offias the cook did well for our vegitairian, ( braai steaks were unfortunately a bit tuff)

Maureen please can I request catering again for the next trip - Fishermans Menu  x 9 people& 14 blocks of ice please. ( earliest delivery if possible) Drinks I will sort out myself this time.I have spoken to Glynis who has said it's ok for us to board earlier, & leave when the guys are  sorted & ready.Also just to let you know, I will be bringing my own boat so will only require the "pontoon" tender this time. Thanks for your help much appreciated

Kindest regards 

Bart Toet
