The crew

Captains by first name, 731 five-star reviews

The owner is not named on the site, and no founding year is published. Reviewers name Captains Javier, Ricky, Oscar, Win, Adam and Luijo and crew Alan, Anaury and Mariela. The site says its vessels and captains meet US Coast Guard standards.

Across the pages of reviews we read, none were below four bubbles. The caveats are mild: the glow depends on the moon and is dimmer than photos suggest, the dock is a little hard to find (the company sends video directions), and bring a towel for the ride back.

“Kayak and even swim among the glowing microorganisms in a protected and shallow area.”
Parguera Water Sports, FareHarbor listing

Captains are named in reviews only.
