Bossy Boots completed two,four day cruising itineraries which encumbered land and aquatic based activities.Fernando organized compulsory live aboard guide Jaime Navas to host the land and aquatic activities who was incredible. His knowledge, social skills and english were excellent.Fernando additionally organized fuel, provisions, airport transfers and any other task I requested of him. Although a considerable amount of politics and bureaucracy surround the process of obtaining a cruising permit for private yachts in Galapagos, Fernando always managed to execute all administrative tasks dutifully and in atimely manner. I always found Fernando to be polite and courteous with all my dealings. Furthermore, I would recommend Fernando to any future captain planning an itinerary to the Galapagos islands," Yours sincerely, Michael Judges Captain M/Y Bossy Boots II Let us take care of your vessel!
