TESTIMONIALS
We had a fantastic time with Captain Martin and Suzana on the Penny Jo. The meals were all wonderful and so were all the sights. From feeding iguanas and pigs to swimming with nurse sharks. The water is so beautiful! Don’t forget about the octopus gardens at Highborne Cay. We enjoyed playing “busted” – the dice game with you! Even though you kept the dinghy! Thank you for your Slovenian words Fried Cat! Come see us in Alabama! Thank you! Steven, Danielle, and Emma.

The Penny Jo Sailing Charter was modern luxury. Spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with private bathrooms in every cabin—which, l.
