Our December 2018 Samambaia cruise, snorkeling in Raja Ampat, may have been the best holiday of my life. The Samambaia caters mainly to divers, but Gian Paolo went out of his way to find spots for my husband and me to snorkel. By and large he succeeded, sending us on two or three expeditions every day - sometimes spectacular - with an excellent guide. Gian Paolo knows his locations intimately and could be flexible as required by weather, currents, or geography (once we were forced far off course by a major storm). Out of the water the trip was just as memorable. Gian Paolo is a delightful, warm, attentive host who has taken an extraordinary level of care with his guests' comfort and pleasure and in creating a convivial atmosphere aboard: impeccable organization, great beds, quiet autonomous air conditioning, abundant hot showers, well-designed storage spaces, even great-smelling shampoo and delicious drinking water. We stayed in the glorious master cabin. The food was good, creative, varied, and abundant, including free beer and freshly baked bread. The staff and crew anticipated our every need without being obsequious, the masseuse was great… and the boat is gorgeous, right down to the stone sinks! - via
