"Everything was so lovely on the Azul Project! Our first night was a bit rough because there was a gale warning and the wind/water was a lot for these landlubbers, but once the weather settled down and the water was calm, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat. It was incredibly relaxing; communication with our host was fabulous; the area felt safe and was super easy to navigate. Thank you to Gia for hosting us; we'll be sure to recommend and will be back!
