Meet the crew

The crew of AQUA PANDA

Meet Your Hosts – Kata, Peter (Panda) & Csoda the Dog!

For Kata and Peter, life on the water began with a shared passion for kitesurfing, adventure, and exploring beautiful places. But it was their wedding aboard a catamaran in the Philippines that changed everything! They fell in love with the lifestyle and decided to turn their dream into reality by buying their own catamaran and creating a unique sailing experience for others.

Originally from Hungary, Kata and Peter are also British citizens and have a home in the UK. Since January 2024, however, their home has been Aqua Panda, where they live aboard full-time and share their love of sailing, travel, good food, and adventure with their guests.

Both are very active and love spending time outdoors, whether it's kitesurfing, exploring new islands, swimming, snorkelling, or discovering hidden beaches.

Peter, also known as Panda, is especially passionate about snorkelling and loves exploring the underwater world. He also owns a cocktail business, so it's no surprise that he is an amazing cocktail maker! From refreshing tropical creations to perfectly mixed sundowners, he enjoys making every occasion a little more special.

Kata is an animal lover who enjoys staying active, exploring new places, and cooking. She takes great pleasure in preparing delicious homemade meals using fresh ingredients, tailoring the menu to guests' tastes and preferences. For her, good food and genuine hospitality are essential ingredients of a memorable holiday.

And then there's Csoda, their much-loved four-legged crew member! Friendly, affectionate, and full of personality, Csoda can be a wonderful addition to the experience for guests who share their love of dogs.

As liveaboard owners, Kata and Peter know Aqua Panda inside out. Every detail on board has been thoughtfully arranged with their guests in mind, creating a comfortable, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere.

They believe the best holidays are about freedom, relaxation, and enjoying quality time with the people you travel with. Their approach is warm, attentive, yet discreet, always happy to share local knowledge, recommend hidden gems, or help organise an adventure, while giving guests plenty of space and privacy to enjoy the experience at their own pace.

For Kata, Panda, and Csoda, Aqua Panda is much more than a boat. It's their home, their passion, and a way to share the beauty and freedom of life at sea, while making every guest's holiday truly their own.

Guest reviews

Daniel

Katalin and Peter are one of a kind host. They were flexible with my reservations and were so responsive to my request and needs. Not only that, this trip will forever live in my heart with the accommodations provided!! I'm already planning my next visit! Csoda, the dog, is so precious and friendly as well! Already miss her morning greetings!

Brittany

Our expectations were beyond met during our week in the BVIs with Kata, Peter, and Csoda. From all of our meals being thoughtfully prepared, to scuba diving and snorkeling excursions fully planned, we had a week of pure relaxation. Peter even joined us at some of our snorkeling spots and was a great guide. If we had it our way, we would be visiting Peter and Kata for a yearly trip. We hope to get back on their boat soon!! Highly recommend.

Alencar

Amazing experience to stay aboard with Katalin and Peter ! I holp to be able to return soon.

Nick

Kata and Peter were amazing hosts, couldn't ask for someone better! They went out of their way to even pick me up right by the airport, and helped shuttle me back and forth to the island where I was attending an event during the stay. The Aqua Panda is a beautiful vessel and of course the surrounding environment is awe inspiring. The bed was comfortable and, in spite of it being quite warm outside (about 80 degrees), I was able to sleep comfortably. It was just me on the boat, but I'd definitely book with them again if I was returning to the BVI with a group, too. They've got a stand up paddle board, various water sports equipment, and a friendly dog, Choda. Overall an amazing trip - only wish I had more time to hang out with them and enjoy the Aqua Panda life.

Steven

Katalin and Peter were very gracious hosts. The Aqua Panda was as beautiful as the surroundings. If you are into kite surfing, this is the place for you!

Kat & Jake

We had the most unreal week with Aqua Panda in Antigua. From day one it was pure freedom: sailing around the island, seeing those shoreline views you only get from the sea, hopping off to explore little beaches, and somehow ending up at a floating cocktail bar like it was the most normal thing in the world. We got seriously blessed with wind and kitesurf conditions. My personal highlight was Green Island — absolutely brilliant. Proper flat water, solid consistent wind, boat launch or beach launch whatever you prefer, almost no other kiters, just tons of space and that dreamy “is this place even real?” vibe. It’s been a while since I last experienced this! And it wasn’t just sailing and kiting. The snorkelling was amazing too. Proper “wow” water: azur blue, crystal-clear, and full of life. Saw tons of coloured fishes, stingrays, a blue-spotted ray, sting, and at one point I genuinely got outswum by a turtle😂 We even caught lobster and conch and turned it into the freshest lunch ever — nothing hits quite like eating what you just caught! Hanging with the Kata, Peter, the other guests and most importantly Choda was such a big part of what made it special. A great mix of like-minded water enthusiasts and kiters — the kind of crew where everyone’s stoked, everyone gets it, and the vibes stay high from sunrise to sunset. Great energy, loads of laughs, evenings filled with card plays, while being looked after during the day with healthy meals. Basically: epic sailing, insane kiting, unforgettable snorkelling, amazing people, and a trip that somehow felt both adventurous and effortless. THANK-YOU!! Already looking forward to coming back. 🌬️⛵️🪁🐢🍹🦞

Phillip & Vicky

Our trip to Antigua with Aqua Panda was truly unforgettable, one of a kind, and once in a lifetime! Our hosts Peter and Kata were beyond generous and made us feel very comfortable and welcome from the start. Their attention to detail, level of preparation, and knowledge of the island made for a very organized and fun adventure. We were able to see so many beautiful places we would not have been able to get to without a boat and start each day bright and early with our favorite water activities. Whether it was snorkeling, paddle boarding, or kitesurfing we could do it all from the boat. They are such genuine, kind, and warm people to be around. We had many good laughs together and are so grateful this trip introduced us to them. We miss our new friends and hope one day we can sail on Aqua Panda again!
