Unheard of at the time, the idea took a year to gel , a year before their first group of 25 or more. It took 20 years but we've doubled our capacity, and the boat is more comfortable. One key to Calypso's success is the tour's delectable fare. Featured in Gourmet Magazine, Calypso's luncheon is an unforgettable experience, served under swaying palms on one of the planet's most unspoiled snippets of land . The strains of Latin Marimba music from Abuelo's handmade keyboard blend with Pacific breezes.
Life is good.
It's no accident that Calypso's lunch is outstanding. David and Cecelia both came from a serious work ethnic background. And their work was in food. After completing a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management in San Francisco City College, David was running the kitchens for SAGA Food Service, feeding thousands at colleges and institutions in two western states. These days, Casa Calypso has a commercial kitchen where full-time chefs create the sumptuous dishes served daily on Tortuga .
