Thank you for making the end of our stay in Sri Lanka so memorable!
We went to Sri Lanka in December for a family holiday and at the end of the trip, we spent two days on a catamaran with the team from Sail Lanka. I was quite uneasy about spending two days on a boat but it was one of the best parts of our holiday, largely thanks to the crew. They were exceptional: Special mention to Lasindu Dilsnan (captain), Induwara (crew), Keshara (crew) and Yeshan (who is an excellent cook!). We had some of our best meals in Sri Lanka on the boat. My boys (17 and 11) loved playing board games with them in the evenings. When we went snorkelling and the sea was a little rough. Induwara stayed in the water next to my 11-year old the whole time to make sure he was ok and helped him when needed. We felt looked after and in great company the whole time. We even saw dolphins, turtles and flying fish. Thank you for making the end of our stay in Sri Lanka so memorable!
Special mention to the crew, whose kindness was clearly a plus.
We spent 2 nights in family onboard a catamaran (a small one, so we were alone). It was a wonderful experience, for us (not used to sea experiences). The Catamaran ended up being lots of fun for the kids, Captain and crew were taking good care of us (the cook produced amazing dishes in the middle of the sea, which was both impressive and delicious)... we saw turtles, dolphins... unlucky, we missed the whales..; (starfish, lion fish, squids...)... All in all, it ended up being the best moments we had in sri lanka.. Special mention to the crew, whose kindness was clearly a plus.
Unforgettable Cruise Experience!
I went with my wife and our 9-year-old son, and it was a completely new experience for us — one that turned out to be truly fantastic! The staff were exceptionally kind, helpful, and professional. They guided us with great care, made us feel safe, and even educated us throughout the journey. A special mention to Captain IP Tharindu, Lifeguards Achala and Tharindu, and Chef Lakmal — you all made this trip so memorable. The food prepared onboard was absolutely delicious, and enjoying it while sailing made it even more special.
Golden hour I'll never forget
The sunset over the Indian Ocean was truly magical. The calm waters, golden skies, and gentle breeze made the whole experience feel like a dream. I even spotted a dolphin jumping in the distance! The crew was so friendly & highly recommend this to anyone visiting Mirissa.
The crew made us feel at home right away..
If you’re looking for something romantic, peaceful, and absolutely breathtaking, this sunset cruise in Mirissa is it. I joined with a few friends, but it would’ve been just as perfect for couples or even solo travelers. The boat was well kept, and the crew made us feel at home right away. Definitely one of my favorite memories from Sri Lanka. I wish we could have stayed out even longer!
The crew was professional
This sunset cruise from Mirissa was the perfect escape from the busy beaches and tourist crowds. The entire three hour journey felt like a dream...the boat glided smoothly over calm waters, and the gentle sea breeze made everything feel cool and comfortable despite the tropical heat. The best part? Watching the sky change every few minutes as the sun dipped closer to the horizon.The crew was professional but warm you could tell they loved what they did.
