Frommer's Review

This is one of my top choices among the tourist- and economy-class options, but then again, I'm partial to sailboats -- or at least to motor-sailers. This 19m (63-ft.) motor-sailer features teak decks, red sails, and the feel of a working sailboat. Down below, there's plenty of varnished wood, and the boat is well maintained. The bunks are compact, but all have private bathrooms and even air-conditioning. Traditional sailboat enthusiasts will find her massive aft quarters a bit unsightly, but they greatly increase the room and comfort inside. This boat also works as a dive boat, with a surcharge of $70 (£39) per dive, including all of your equipment.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
