He is also very easy going and fun to be around. He made our whole crew feel comfortable. He can also be very professional when called upon. My wife sprained her ankle, and he coordinated a trip to an ER on the island that night. When the ER said they couldn’t help much where he then coordinated for us to get an Xray s.

Thank you to the crew for the most magical week in Paradise! Captain Sam is truly the captain of all captains — professional, knowledgeable, calm + funny.
