Caribbean Yacht Charters

S/V 3 Sisters- May 24-28th-
 

Dear Captain & Caitlin,

Where to begin? You two lovely humans helped to create some amazing core memories for our
family. We will be forever grateful for the seamless way in which we slipped into the world of S/V
3 Sisters.
Johnny, Teagan, Claire and I will cherish the magical experience of sailing, exploring,
snorkeling, laughing, eating and drinking and then laughing some more. Kudos to the expert
guidance, exceptional meals, fun and friendship. You are both truly talented in every way!
We had much to celebrate and can’t imagine a better way to toast our new chapters. Hope our
stories reconnect again someday! XO, The McKitricks
 

S/V Valentine- June 2024-
 

We could not imagine a better charter experience then the Valentine crew! Caitlin, we snorkeled
and scuba’d with you everywhere. We hope all of our friends can have this incredible
experience. We will always remember this week! - Connor Kemby
Thank you for giving us the best vacay ever! The crew is the perfect balance of professional and
FUN! Scuba diving with Caitlin was one of my favorite memories that I will cherish forever! Best
crew ever! - Kendall 
What an incredibly talented and complimentary crew. Caitlin, I wasn’t aware this boat came with
an excellent host, photographer and divemaster! Thanks for my intro to diving! - Cody Kemby
Caitlin, your enthusiasm for the sea infects us all. I wanted to go back and do it all over again, a
thousand times more. You are super charismatic and fun. I enjoyed talking to you and listening
to your stories. I'm going to miss your enthusiasm when taking pictures. Our memories are
better captures of each day. - Valeria 
 

May 2024-

To the Valentine vessel and crew, this has been quite the week, one of the best of our lives for
sure! Caitlin- jack of all trades - you kept us hydrated, entertained and on time! thanks for the
best time, the adventures, the opportunities to see things we never have before. The Baths
were amazing, jumping from Willie T’s, Snorkeling, seeing the world through a different
perspective was amazing!
Thank you for being so accommodating and for meeting and anticipating all the needs of
everyone on board. Thanks for all the trips to the beaches, the best we have been to. Thanks
for the best meals and snacks. This has truly been a once in a lifetime experience and I will
remember it all and each of you. thank you for sharing your stories and your passion with us!

Henru & Clara,
Thank you so much for a fun & relaxing 10 days aboard OAW 3! The food was simply amazing & we loved the casual pace blended with some fun & shenanigans! So many great meals & memories, and each night the beer fairy would come to top off the cooler with tasty beverages & ice 🙂 So sad to leave your company and the beautiful waters & beaches of.

The BVI! ♡ Aaron, Claudia, Volker,
Dagmar, Clay & Lisa

Henru & Clara - 
We had a fabulous time on OAW3! You both took great care of us - your hospitality was awesome, the food was fantastic! So sad to leave! 
♡ Lisa & Clay

Dear Clara & Henru, 
thank you for an absolutely amazing time aboard OAW III. You took such great care of us with drinks, Michelin Star worthy meals, and showing us around the most beautiful spots in the BVI. Until next time,
Dagmar & Volker

Henru and Clara,

We could not have asked for a more perfet adventure. Everything from Hog Heaven (what a view!), Scrub Island massages and especially to us getting to Anegada (which was beyond special and a fantastic day and night), it all worked out so seamlessly. We also felt so accomplished finally pronouncing Henru’s name right by the end of the week. Your hospitality was extraordinary, somehow you always knew what we needed even before we did. We were all floored by Clara’s thoughtful, healthy and creative meals. Smoothies for EVERY breakfast!! We were made to feel right at home by Clara and Henru throughout our voyage which is not an easy

task given the close quarters for 7 days. Sitting with Henru at the helm, along with Clara, between our destinations was such a relaxing experience. His patience and knowledge of boating always made us feel secure. Top notch trip all the way around. A trip that we will always remember with smiles and laughter,

Until next time,

Clara & Henru,
There are no words big enough to say ‘thank you’ for this once in a lifetime experience. We celebrated, learned new things (i saw new creatures), experienced the beauty of the BVI, and made two new friends. 🙂 you both provided an amazing experience and you make a fantastic team. you exemplify true partnership that shines through in each moment, big or small. We’re lucky to have spent the week with you and we will look forward to seeing you in South Africa (or Maine - whichever happens first!)
Until next time,
♡, Carly & Trevor

Henru & Clara,
We’ve been waiting years to make a vacation like this happen, and we feel so lucky that it was with you and On a Whim!!!
This experience exceeded all expectations and left us with lifelong memories — including our visit to The Baths and the adventurous swim in and out, floats in the tube with delicious cocktails, and making the most of the weather conditions (we loved our lunch at Hog Heaven!).
Of course, the AMAZING food we had while on board! Thank you again for making this exceed our highest expectations and for leaving us wanting to come back to explore even more — hopefully with you once again!
With gratitude,
Lana & Chris

Thank you so very much for the best week ever! I wouldn't change one single moment. I am so appreciative of all of your hard work. We felt so comfortable the moment we stepped onto the boat. You two are amazing and will always have a special place in our hearts. It was a joy to meet you!
With gratitude

Henru and Clara 
Where to begin! this has been the vacation of a lifetime and that is truly because of Henru and Clara! They went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful vacation! Henru is an incredible captain and we felt so safe. Clara's meals were all amazing and better than any restaurants we went to. Our group looked so forward to Clara's meals. Even her snacks were out of this world. As I write this on my last evening, I am feeling so blessed to have met these two very special. We had such an amazing week with these two that we will request them on our future vacations. 
Thank you 
Dan and Kate

Henru, Clara, and On A Whim III, 
Thank you guys for the trip of a lifetime!!
This vacation exceeded all of our expectations, and truly it was all due to both of you. Clara whips of meals that are better than any Michelin Star restaurant! Henru organized the itinerary of our dreams and was an outstanding captain, better than any captain we would have hoped for. Thank you for making this a truly special and unforgettable week!
-Shane and Nicole

Henru and Clara were fantastic - our 4 person group was well fed and thoroughly entertained all week in the BVI. Their teamwork, energy and hospitality made the trip effortless and memorable. 
-Melissa and Jeremy

We had the best time ever. Thanks for everything, Clara and Henru! We will definitely be looking for the two of you when we come back again! Please let us know when you make it to Alaska!!
Chris and Janelle

Henru and Clara, 
From the first 5 minutes with you both we felt at ease. The one week trip was beautiful, relaxing, and a special time to catch up with old friends. Starting our morning everyday with a pleasant "good morning" and gourmet food was amazing. We don't know how you both get so much done and do it with a smile on your face. This has been a trip Andy, wanted to do for years and it exceeded our expectations in terms of service, beautiful weather, food and relaxation. We wish you the best in what is certainly to be a beautiful life together. 
Sincerely, 
Andy, Diane, Judy and Adrian

Clara and Henru, 
What and incredible week we had on On A Whim! Thank you for showing us the beauty of the BVI- this place is a very special slice of heaven. The two of you could not have been more wonderful. You were always attentive to our ever "whim" - whether it was equipping us for a snorkel adventure, setting us up for the perfect beach afternoon or nixing up the ideal drink to take in the sunset - Henru, you are and incredible captain! Clara - we are leaving this week bellies full and inspired to try new recipes in the kitchen! Thank you for the countless delicious meals. You were above and beyond! Until next time! 
With deep gratitude, 
the Jaconis

Thank you for an incredible trip! Your aura of kindness and constant positivity made every moment special. You both were always smiling, welcoming, and wonderfully accommodating. We are so grateful for the way you kept our family safe and created an experience that was both adventure and relaxing! Thank you Henru and Clara!

You guys made our trip! beautiful people.

Alex and Renee - 
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My 50th birthday celebration this week has been nothing short of perfection ❤️ From Red velvet Cake welcoming us aboard, to all of the savoury’s, and Key lime pie, we loved every minute.

We could not have dreamed up a better vacation or celebration for our mom’s birthday if we tried!! The accommodations, hospitality, and scenery was out of a fairytale - as was the food!

I want to express our complete satisfaction with our crew, Alex and Renee and the boat, On A Whim. It was a trip of a lifetime for our family and a great way to celebrate 60 for me. The boat was clean, fresh, fully equipped and completely sufficient for the 6 of us. 

I can’t say enough good things about the crew, Alex and Renee. The two of them made the trip a wonderful experience for all. They satisfied our visits to places we suggested and then took us to some special places, we would have never of known of. The two of them were there to accommodate us for all our needs and wants. They went above and beyond our expectations with their knowledge, care and hospitality. The meals, snacks, and drinks were delicious. Renee put a lot of care into the variety and presentation of every meal. Both Alex and Renee made it really hard to leave. We will highly recommend the boat and especially Alex and Renee to anyone and everyone. 
-The Shivitz Family

Thank you for an amazing four nights! You've given us a magnificent vacation! We loved every minute and Alex showed us the best highlights of the BVI. We look forward to coming back to see even more! Renee was so fun and we loved getting to know both of them. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime.
Love Matt and Courtney
P.S. We loved the meals, desserts, and desserts!

We don't want to leave this amazing place and boat! Everything was so comfortable and beautiful. We loved the sunset sail from Norman Island to Tortola. We can't wait to come back for a longer stay.

Alex and Renee,

I really can't find any downside to this experience. We were encouraged to give input on the itinerary from the planing stage so that we could have a tailor made experience. We got the exact experience we wanted (snorkeling, cool beaches, and exploring the small islands of the BVI). The boat is well outfitted with water toys. The accommodations are well maintained and very clean. The menu for the week was carefully crafted by Olga after our pre-sail input and all her offerings were wonderful (especially her conch fritters). Captain Jacques also makes the best Painkiller in the BVI. Yeah the best, I said it. If you are thinking about exploring the area this way, go ahead and do it with these guys!

Jun 2026

We just returned from a 7 night trip on the Serenity with Capt. Jacques and Chef Olga that was absolutely amazing! We’d planned the trip for months as a celebration of my husband and mine’s 35th anniversary, my brother and sister-in-law’s 25th anniversary and my sister-in-law’s 50th birthday and this trip more than lived up to our high expectations. Capt Jacques and Chef Olga went above and beyond to ensure our birthday girl had a special day and even brought out a sparkler topped birthday cake and lead us in Happy Birthday.

I can't say enough great things about Capt Jacques! We always felt safe and at-ease onboard and appreciated his taking time to show us the ropes (or lines if you will) of sailing basics. An added bonus, or maybe his best quality, is that he makes the best painkillers in the BVI!! One of our favorite parts of each day was “map time” where we would go over our next day’s plans and he would make recommendations of best beaches, snorkeling areas, bars, etc. 

Every meal prepared by Chef Olga was almost too beautifully plated to eat, and it tasted even better! She was very considerate of any food preferences anyone had and you could taste the love and joy in which it was prepared in every bite.

Every island/beach we visited was break-taking with beautiful sand and clear waters of so many different shades of blue. Snorkeling was a highlight with so many different fish and sea life to observe. We went towards the end of the season which meant beaches and bars/restaurants were not very crowded which is what we like. The Bathes were incredible and if you have the extra day to go to Anegada definitely go there!

If you are considering a BVI trip, I highly recommend the Serenity and this crew! They thought of every little detail and arranged for every part of our trip to be stress-free. We worked with Yacht Vacations to book the vacation of a lifetime and we will be fondly remembering this week for years to come….and hopefully we can return to sail Jacques and Olga again soon!

Jun 2026

Our vacation on Serenity with Jacques and Olga could not have been any better! We had such a wonderful time. Jacques always made sure we had everything we needed, he made fantastic suggestions on where to go and what to do, and he was a pleasure to be around. Olga's food was delicious and none of us could even say what our favorite meal was because they were all so good. The boat was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped. We loved every minute of it and did not want to leave when it was over!

Our week on the Serenity was the BEST vacation we have ever had!! Captain Jacques and Chef Olga are the best crew in the Carribean. Captain Jacques was the ultimate professional, sailing all over the amazing BVI, while being so much fun and making the best rum drinks! Chef Olga’s meals were fabulous! We highly recommend The Serenity and Captain Jacques and Chef Olga for a vacation you will never forget!

A Trip of a Lifetime !!

And what made this trip so special was the friends we made along the way 

Captain Jaques and miss Olga they were not only great at their profession but also Amazing people !!

Witch makes all the difference in the world when you are on a boat for a week 

The scenery was amazing. The boat was beautiful and everyone had a great time.

We just returned from an unforgettable week aboard Serenity sailing through the British Virgin Islands, and it truly exceeded every expectation for our family.

Traveling with a 5-year-old and 1-year-old can sometimes make vacations feel more exhausting than relaxing, but Captain Jacques and Chef Olga made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. From the very first day, they were incredibly warm, patient, and welcoming with our kids. Every morning our children were excited to see them, and by the end of the trip it honestly felt like we were leaving friends behind.

Captain Jacques is exceptional at what he does. You can tell immediately how experienced and knowledgeable he is, but what really stood out was how much he genuinely loves sailing and creating an amazing experience for his guests. He always knew the best spots to visit, the best activities to do, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire week. We truly felt like VIPs the whole trip.

Chef Olga was wonderful as well. She worked hard to accommodate our preference sheet as closely as possible, and every meal was thoughtful, fresh, and delicious. The two of them worked together so seamlessly and created such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere onboard.

This trip was extra special for our family because we celebrated both a 40th and a 34th birthday during the charter, and they went above and beyond to make both celebrations feel memorable. They even joined in on our daughter’s little makeshift Pre-K graduation celebration onboard, which meant so much to us and made the moment even more special for our family.

Between the stunning water, incredible experiences, amazing food, and quality time together as a family, this became one of those trips we know we’ll be talking about for years. We are so grateful to Captain Jacques and Chef Olga for giving our family such an incredible week and memories we’ll never forget.

May 2026

If I could give this experience ten stars, I would.

Our family of five just returned from an unforgettable seven-day sailing adventure through the British Virgin Islands aboard the Serenity, a beautiful 49-foot catamaran, and it was truly one of the best vacations of our lives.

My husband Kevin and I were joined by our three adult children to celebrate my 60th birthday, and I honestly cannot imagine a more meaningful and memorable way to mark this special milestone.

From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Jacques and Chef Olga made us feel completely at home. They were gracious, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every detail of our trip was exceptional.

Captain Jacques was the true heart of this experience. He is an incredibly skilled and experienced captain who inspired total confidence from the very beginning. We always felt safe, relaxed, and in expert hands. Beyond his impressive sailing expertise, Jacques is warm, personable, and genuinely fun to be around. His knowledge of the islands and his thoughtful planning created the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences.

Chef Olga was wonderful as well. Her meals were consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. She accommodated our preferences with ease, and every breakfast, lunch, and dinner added to the enjoyment of the trip.

The Serenity itself was immaculate, comfortable, and perfectly suited for our family. Waking each morning to crystal-clear turquoise waters, exploring hidden coves, snorkeling, and sharing laughter together made this a celebration we will cherish forever.

Some vacations are enjoyable. Others become treasured family memories.

This was one of those extraordinary experiences.

If you are considering a charter in the British Virgin Islands, I recommend the Serenity, Captain Jacques, and Chef Olga without hesitation. They gave our family a week of joy, connection, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Mar 2026

We spent seven days sailing the British Virgin Islands aboard Serenity with Captain Dutch and Chef Olga, and it was easily one of our favorite vacations in a long time. The accommodations were very comfortable, giving us a great place to relax and recharge each day, and the food was incredible—every meal felt thoughtful and consistently exceeded expectations. Captain Dutch and Chef Olga created such a welcoming, easygoing atmosphere, and we especially loved having the flexibility to decide what we wanted to do each day without ever feeling rushed or stressed. We also brought our 13-year-old, and she was never bored—there was always something fun to do, and she had just as amazing of a time as we did. We can’t recommend Serenity, Captain Dutch, or Chef Olga highly enough..

Tim and Nikki are the absolute best; could not recommend sailing the BVI with them more. You will have a great time!

Jan 2026

This sailing trip with Captain Tim and Chef Nikki was truly one of the best vacations of my life.

It wasn’t just the comfort of the boat — it was the experience of being out on the sea every day, surrounded by nature, sunshine, and incredible views. The boat is extremely well-equipped, spotless, and has everything you need. Every day brought a new location and a new stunning spot to explore.

Tim and Nikki are also simply wonderful people — always smiling, warm, and genuinely attentive. You can tell they love what they do, and they made the whole trip feel effortless.

And the food… absolutely outstanding. Every single meal was 10/10 — fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Honestly, this trip was worth every cent we spent, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

A quick tip: bring very little clothing and lots of swimwear. You really don’t need many outfits for going out — you’ll mostly be living in a swimsuit.

Also, don’t worry about connectivity: they have Starlink, so Wi-Fi was not an issue at all. And the boat has air conditioning, which made a huge difference for comfort.

Just spectacular from start to finish.

Jan 2026

Excellent experience along with Tim and Nikki. Both affections and very attentive, made the trip incredible. The boat has very good facilities and is very comfortable. Very nice places to visit and meet. I would definitely come back.

Jan 2026

This trip was spectacular! 

Nikki and Tim are amazing, they are in every detail. Tim makes sure you enjoy the boat and the full activities and Nikki is the best cook in the Caribbean. 

I'd come back a thousand times. The islands are divine but just being on the boat is an experience that you cannot miss.

Dec 2025 • Friends

We went on a Christmas trip with another family, Tim & Nikki made our Christmas Day and meals very special! Nikki has set the bar so high with her culinary skills, every meal was exceptional! We also celebrated a birthday on the boat and they made the day memorable for the kids! The water toys they offered for the family kept us all busy! The food was 5 stars and the service and hospitality was beyond our expectations! So many memories and lots of fun on our vacation! 

Tip: pack more swimsuits than you think you’ll need, less everyday clothing. Bring a duffel bag instead of a suitcase for storage.

Nov 2025

A huge thank you to Captain Tim and Chef Nikki. Our family had the best vacation! The Serenity boat was beautiful and the crew were the absolute BEST. Chef Nikki’s food was so delicious. It’s been less than 48 hours since our trip and my kids are telling me I need to step up my cooking skills because there is no comparison to Chef Nikki’s food. Captain Tim is an expert on the water. My kids had so much fun hanging out with him. Captain Tim taught the kids to sail and race Hobies and so much about boating, it was awesome. We are looking forward to many more vacations with this crew.

May 2025 • Couples

Absolutely the best trip! The crew, Capt. Tim and Chef Nikki, were amazing, professional, attentive and a blast to hang out with! The food Nikki prepared is the best I have ever eaten. Hands down! Capt. Tim was knowledgeable about the best places to moor, visit, and hang out, and also willing to customize routes and times for us! The boat was clean, well-maintained, and laid out for maximum fun. Seriously, the only thing we had to do was relax, enjoy the scenery, and cruise with our friends. Capt. Tim and Chef Nikki made it so enjoyable, it is not a matter of if we go back, but when!!

Apr 2025

WOW is just a start!! 

My wife and I took our 3 adult sons and significant others on a week sailing the BVI's with Tim and Nikki April 18-25, 2025 and it was a trip of a life time! From the time we arrived in the marina, and we left, if was one great memory after another. Tim & Nikki made sure we were catered on hand and foot! They made sure we had transfers to and from airport to ferry terminals and from terminals to marina which I was very grateful for!

Tim is an exceptional skipper and everything he did was to ensure the utmost safety of our family. Tim made sure we were served when ever we wanted and his Tim-killers (pain killers) were second to none!! So good we would wait until we got back on board to have one instead of when we were on shore.

Nikki's is an exceptional chef and as soon as we finished one of her meals, we couldn't wait until the next! Nikki made sure we were well fed and not in need of anything, wow the food was great!!

We all will be ever grateful for such a great, safe vacation and hope you too will be as fortunate as us and sail with Tim & Nikki, what a great couple!!

We wish Tim & Nikki all the very best in your future adventures and a very BIG heart felt thank you! 

It was great to have spent a week with you both!

One word for our week on Serenity--PERFECT. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

There is no way to talk about a charter on Serenity without starting with the amazing team of Captain Tim and Chef Nikki. No two more charming people exist on the waters of the BVI and they were a true pleasure to spend our time with. I have more pictures of Nikki's food than of all the sights! She is a talented chef, and takes great pride in preparing excellent food. There was not one miss in the whole week. She also paid close attention to a few food restrictions which we very much appreciated. Captain Tim should first be noted for his emphasis on safety and care for the boat. This really stood out to us, and allowed us the chance to relax knowing that everything was being cared for. Tim was also an exceptional and patient guide, always willing to get us to a great (sometimes secret!) snorkeling spot or out for an on-water adventure, and he makes the best Painkiller! He was well-known and well-liked by everyone on shore that we came in contact with, which also says a lot about how he operates.

Serenity was a great fit for us as two couples (I think it would be fine for 6 guests, and might be a bit tight for 8). Two fairly equal primary cabins, excellent AC, really good outdoor spaces. We especially loved our time on the spacious and shaded flybridge--great underway and to catch those sunrises and sunsets. Add in the paddleboards, Sunchill, snorkel gear, and the Subwing and you have everything you need to have any adventure you want.

I'll add a tip here as well--we added a few nights on dock to mix things up a bit this year, and it really made the trip next level. Tim was great at working this out for us, and I can HIGHLY recommend a few nights spread between:

--Peter Island Resort (gorgeous grounds, pool, fun bar with a band or DJ most nights, secluded beach)

--Bitter End Yacht Club (fun to take advantage of their beach/water offerings [staff were great], great dinner at BEYC [ask Nikki about the calzone] and equally fun night having sunset drinks and dinner at Saba Rock) and 

--Scrub Island (lively pool scene, great restaurant and bar).

These nights balanced with lots of days either on balls or anchored really rounded out the trip in a new and unexpected way!

We all agreed it was the first vacation in forever where we got home more relaxed than when we started! Book without hesitation. Thanks to the owner/broker team for being great to work with as well!

Mar 2025

Our dream vacation became a reality thanks to this amazing crew.

Captain Tim was exceptional, we felt safe at all times. His knowledge of all things local plus his vast experience with the boat, made this experience unique and enjoyable. We had great conversations, amazing cocktails, he was very flexible and extremely kind with the whole family. He is on top of everything at all times and we felt really spoiled and well taken care off. 

Chef Nikki was the best. When we thought meals couldn’t get any better, she proves us wrong. We tried some local cuisine on couple of islands, but we all agreed that nothing like chef Nikki’s food. We really enjoyed every meal and every detail. She was also super kind, helpful, charming and attentive with the whole family. 

When we thought these guys couldn’t be any more special, they planned an amazing birthday dinner for my husband. Every detail was taken care off, from the beautiful table set up to the amazing cake which we still can’t comprehend how such a beautiful cake was prepared on a boat. 

We can’t recommend Serenity and in particular captain Tim and chef Nikki enough, they will make sure your whole experience is extraordinary and beautiful memories are build forever!

Excellent job by Captain Tim and Chef Nikki!!! They were always going above and beyond to make our trip exceptional. I would rate them above 5 stars. They were both so professional and kind. I probably took more pictures of the food Chef Nikki prepared than photos of my own kids. 🤣

Our Serenity vacation was an amazing experience. Captain Tim and Chef Nikki expertly hosted the 6 of us for a four night adventure in the USVI. Every day we woke to a delicious, healthy breakfast and Captain Tim would advise us of our day’s plan. Hopping from cove to cove we snorkeled, swam, and floated on the Sunchill. We’d enjoy Capt Tim’s cocktails (Painkillers were our favorite) and drool-worthy lunches. Our late afternoons typically consisted of more water time. One afternoon, Tim took us ashore to St John where we taxied to a great bar with beautiful views. After showers we’d gather for happy hour and Chef Nikki’s canapés. A fabulous dinner would await us where the food was not only picture-perfect but delectable! Tim and Nikki are a great team and I’d highly recommend this particular charter.

Cannot speak highly enough of my experience on the Serenity! Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond accommodating and really made the trip so special. The crew worked every day to make sure we had the best vacation possible and even took the time to play board games with our whole family! Chef Nikki served the most incredible meals every day and was so conscious of different dietary needs/restrictions. Captain Tim not only expertly handled the boat from island to island but also organized fun activities and water sports every day. This was easily one of the best trips I've been on and it was largely due to the kindness and expertise of the crew. If you’re planning on booking a charter in the BVIs it absolutely has to be with this boat. My only regret is I wasn’t able to stay for longer!

This trip was so amazing it’s beyond words. Besides from the stunning water and views, Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond amazing. I truly believe the experience would not be what it was without them. The food was beyond amazing and the games we would all play together made the vacation all the better. Beautiful water, the best crew, amazing marine life and stunning snorkeling made the perfect trip. I’m going to miss the BVI’s but Tim and Nikki even more.

To "lure" one’s adult children to spend a vacation with their parents, you need to come up with something special. We suggested a sailing trip in the BVI, and they were all onboard for that idea. But not in my wildest dreams could I have expected such a fantastic vacation!! Tim, the captain, and Nikki, the gourmet chef, are simply the best. They are a beautiful and service-minded couple! Tim’s sailing skills and expertise in docking the boat were most impressive. Nikki’s superb cooking was to everybody’s liking. My highlight of each day was when i asked Nikki "what’s for lunch today?" and her answers were always mouthwatering. Tim's cocktail-making talent was also superb—his Bloody Mary surpassed the famous one served by the Wolseley restaurant in London! The Serenity (48’ Catamaran) was a wonderful home for our week in the BVI. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and it had a bunch of fun water toys, which we enjoyed each day. We are already dreaming about another trip (maybe later in the year, but definitely in 2026) on the Serenity with Tim and Nikki. But, as my husband said, he’s be happy to charter a dinghy if it were crewed by Tim and Nikki!

Voyage of a lifetime. Nikki and Tim are …….. exceptional. It’s really hard to put into words the experience we were so fortunate to have. We saw the most spectacular sights, snorkeled the most amazing spots, did all the water sports we could fit in, and experienced the BVI on a beautiful catamaran. The yacht was comfortable, very well kept, and was in excellent shape.

But the experience really was more than we could have ever bargained for because of Nikki and Tim. Tim made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. He plotted the days and evenings perfectly. We caught sunsets and woke up to the most beautiful views. He worked so hard to make sure my family enjoyed all the activities and filled our days. He always planned ahead. And Tim was so humble and really wanted our experience to be amazing by going the extra mile. He truly cared.

Nikki……was the cherry on top. The meals were beyond amazing. She opened her heart to our 4 year old and bonded with our children. We woke up to healthy and delicious meals. And we finished the day with a spectacular dinner and desert. She also made us feel so warm and welcome. We instantly felt like our experience was going to be special the moment we came aboard and she greeted us with warmth and laughter.

I cannot say this enough. Nikki and Tim were exceptional. Serenity is a special vacation on a special boat. Any family or friends trip will go home with a tear because they have to depart such a special couple and an unforgettable experience .

Highly highly highly recommend.

My family of 4 adults just had an amazing week with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie on Serenity. Due to winter weather, we had delays with two of our arrivals and Brooke and Kylie had it all worked out to accommodate late arrivals and alternate pickup locations. Adjustment were made in our itinerary to get us to our requested destinations as well as the locations that Captain Brooke knew would be good sailing for the weather that we had. The food was amazing at every meal and we had more than we could have possibly eaten. Cold drinks to satisfy a wide range of tastes were available and Kylie went out of her way to fulfill a few non-traditional tastes! Game nights with the crew, dinner together at Saba Rock, trips ashore…Brooke and Kaylie became our extended family for the week and we had so much fun. Serenity is a beautiful yacht with comfortable seating and sleeping. She is kept in top shape and is very comfortable to sail aboard. This was our first charter vacation, and our entire family felt like it was the best vacation that we had ever been on. I can’t give enough credit to Brooke and Kylie for a tremendous week in the BVI! Leave your options open on your preference sheet and you will not be disappointed with the trip that this crew puts together for you. Happy sailing!

Wow, what a blast we had on the Catamaran charter with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie! The Serenity was a beautiful vessel and Brooke handled it as true professional. When we had some tough weather or A/C technical issues, we never lost confidence and comfort with Brooke at the helm. Kylie created some truly beautiful and delicious meals. And the desserts were just phenomenal. It was unbelievable what she could do in that small galley kitchen.

Brooke and Kylie were so attentive and helpful; organizing activities and flexing our schedule as needed based on weather; arranging water and land taxis when needed; showing us the coolest spots on the islands. They joined us for a quite rainy dinner at Saba Rock and entertained us onboard with custom cocktails and games.

It was really hard to say goodbye to these two new family members.

Pool’s open….
At the back of Serenity with Brooke and Kylie! What a treat to sail on with these amazing hard working young women! Captain Brooke is a steady, dedicated and capable breath of fresh air. Chef Kylie can whip up five star meals you can barely get in any restaurant. We asked for desserts… desserts we got and they were as innovative as they were beautiful and delicious!
The yacht was gorgeous and pristine. Brooke runs a tight ship when it comes to maintaining our personal floating hotel. She is quick and efficient and manages everything as if with magic.
Our sail week was unfortunately during some of the weirdest weather and Captain Brooke navigated us through it with aplomb! She was quick on her feet to find alternate sails and activities to keep us happy and busy!
These young women handled several different personalities and needs with such grace and agility. So relaxing to be in the care of these two inspired and dedicated women.
It was sad to say goodbye to my two new daughters! May we sail again soon!

This has by far been my favorite vacation ever! I don't think I want to vacation any other way again! The Crew, Jake and Eddie were awesome!! The views are absolutely breath taking, the history we learned.. these guys really know some interesting facts! Did I mention the snorkeling??? It was out of this world!! Foxy's is a must if you go to the BVI's as well as The Baths. We had so much fun!! The next to last day the guys put together Serenity Olympics for us!! They really worked well with our group to make sure we had a great time!!

Best trip ever!!! Boat was awesome. All of the stops in the BVI and US VI were great. However, the highlight of the trip was Captain Jake and Chef Kylie! They were perfect. Felt like they were part of our family.

Kylie and Jake are the absolute best! Kylie’s food was above 5 star status. Everything tasted wonderful. Jake was the ultimate captain. From knowing what stop to get to at a specific time and keeping us comfortable while in open waters, everything was perfect. They both also make great bartenders. Would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone. Best vacation ever because of Kylie and Jake!

This was the best trip ever because of Jake and Kylie!!! They are the best captain and chef. They are so thoughtful, selfless, joyful, and kind. They truly felt like our sister and brother. We can’t wait to do this trip again with them. They make the best food and drinks. They are so fun and showed us the best parts of the islands. I’m so thankful for them. The boat is also amazing. I wish I could live on Serenity!! This trip was so perfect and I never wanted to leave.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Best vacation EVER!! Kylie and Jake are the kindness, most fun, thoughtful, coolest, cutest, most beautiful on the inside and out captain and chef! Loveeeee them so much! Never wanted to leave. We will be back!

Thank you for the amazing trip! Kylie and Jake made this trip a real pleasure! From the stops and customized itinerary to what our group wanted to see to the presentation of breakfast and drinks! Boat was very comfortable, new and clear. Highly highly recommended!

From the welcoming glasses of sparkling wine when we stepped aboard for the first time to the amazing water activities to the delicious food that was 5 star quality in variety, taste and presentation, to the expert guidance around the waters of the BVI and the USVI, we were continuously wowed by the crew of the Serenity. Kylie and Jake are husband and wife and the crew of the Serenity and they went above and beyond to make our week aboard the brand new sailing cat one of our most luxurious vacations ever.

The boat is extremely comfortable and well maintained to the best standards. Jake is a very professional captain but as a conductor of all our water activities, he made sure the kids (2 12 year old boys and a 10 year old girl) had an amazing time. The grown ups sometimes joined in - once we were able to put down that cocktail that was always delicious and dangerously easy to appear. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat - each meal a truly top notch dining experience. It was hard to believe that they were prepared in that galley that's smaller than most kitchens. The cabins were small as was expected but they very comfortable with queen sized beds - I had my best sleep in years during that week. Each of the 3 cabins had an attached bathroom and I cannot stress how important that was to our comfort levels. The boys decided to sleep in the bunk beds - those were tight but they didn't mind it at all. They used a 4th bathroom that was just outside the bunk bed space.

Kylie and Jake were able to effortlessly guide us through our time on board - from suggesting destinations to sail to, to suggesting an itinerary, to making sure that everything that was needed to sail a boat with 9 people on board was taken care of without us noticing or worrying about a thing. The Serenity is a lovely boat and Kylie and Jake are a wonderful people and a hardworking and extremely friendly crew. We are 2 families who have sailed bareboat (without a crew) together before so we can appreciate the work that goes into making it seem effortless and worry free. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I hope I get an opportunity to sail with them again.

I wish I were a more eloquent writer, as I know this will not properly communicate the amazing week we had onboard Serenity with Jake and Kylie. Serenity is a beautiful boat—clean, new, lovely cabins. The BVI is an amazing place with so much to see. That being said, what made this trip an incredible, unforgettable experience was being with Captain Jake and Kylie. Jake is an accomplished captain, who made us feel immediately comfortable. He answered (a ridiculous amount of) questions, shared his knowledge of sailing and took us on so many unique adventures. We snorkeled, swam, saw beautiful beaches, hit up such fun beach bars. Every day was something new. We had two teenage boys that Jake did everything to help make the trip more exciting for. Our oldest wanted to fish—-so lines were out at every opportunity (even when he was sleeping). He coordinated efoil lessons on Saba Rock—which was totally his idea after meeting our kids (must do if interested in something out of the ordinary). We had a guided tour (with both Jake and Kylie) through the Baths (OMG beautiful!) and saw the most breathtaking views in St John. The kids (and husband) rode tubes behind dingy, Jake and Kylie showed the kids how to get the sails up to sail—-we just did it all. At NO point, did Jake seem to tire of requests—-he was there to make sure every moment was safe, exciting and enjoyable.

Kylie welcomed us from the first moment with her warm smile, amazing food and cocktails/mocktails. We had more food than we could ever eat—-and each presentation was beautiful. After being on a beach or a snorkel, we would board the boat with a beautiful snack/drink combination. (The boys quietly told me they felt like celebrities every time this happened). Kylie had her hands full with our family—a food allergy and picky teenagers forced her to vary her dishes at every given meal, and she did with ease. Her homemade desserts were absolutely incredible—we are all still discussing her caramel dessert that we can’t remember the name of—but hails from her native South Africa. She did all the little things that go unnoticed, but make you feel so well take care of. Filling drinks while playing cards with family, putting things away—making sure we had sunscreen and bug spray. All those mom things that I ordinarily do—she had already done.

On top of these two being an amazing, TOP notch crew, they are two of the most lovely people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Sharing a boat is a special, intimate experience and when we left, we all felt as if we were leaving family members behind. As a group, we laughed, played games at night, and enjoyed every bit of their company. We LOVED Serenity, we LOVED exploring the BVI, but our trip was MADE by this wonderful couple. We are already planning how we can sail with them again…and raving about them to anyone who asks. They are more than the ultimate professionals—they are two of the most special people we have had the privilege to spend time with. Anyone who is lucky enough to sail with them will be more than impressed.
 

The trip was absolutely amazing. It had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but with the flexibility to go, do and see anything you wanted. The food and drinks were fantastic and plentiful and the captain and chef amazing. We cannot express how pleased we were by the entire experience from the initial booking with boats at Sea to the farewell goodbyes to Kylie and Jake!

The yacht was beautiful and in great shape. It was her first paid charter, so the expectation was high and she exceeded our expectations in space and amenities and just how comfortable it was for a full week. We never felt crowded or ran out of things to do. We made everyone leave the electronics off for the week and with 12-, 16-, and 20-year-old sons, there wasn't a whisper of complaining. Of course our Captain, or should I say DJ Jake was jamming great tunes the whole time for our entertainment and honored every request!
Captain Jake took our 3 sons tubing from the tender and I asked him to beat them up a little as they were professional tubers having tubed many summers in Northern Michigan. I was pleased to see strawberries on all of their elbows the next day from the tube and they agreed it was one of their best tube rides ever. We used the fishing poles daily and hooked into several Tarpon and a Barracuda out trolling. There was also a water wing, paddle boards and inflatable Kayak that all got used as well. The snorkel gear was heavily used!
The food was incredible. Chef Kylie is a rockstar! I am a retired restaurant manager/chef and was very impressed with the variety, quality, and freshness of the cuisine. From the yogurt parfaits to start our mornings before the main breakfast course to the filet and shrimp dinner and all the snacks in between, we couldn't have asked for more! Everyone had their favorite meal prepared throughout the week and the cocktails to go along with the meals really hit the spot. Even our 12 and 16 year old boys had mocktails to match our cocktails and felt very included. Even at home they are asking for the "Jake Killer" our captain's version of the famous "Pain Killer"
We let Jake to the planning and had no hard-set itinerary. It was extremely relaxing that way and all the pressure was on our captain to make sure he took us to the spots that he thought we would like best. After-all he is the expert, not us!

Captain Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He shared facts about the islands and personal experiences about each and every place we saw and stopped at. He was as excited as we were when we came across underwater delights. He made sure we saw Lobster, turtles, rays and even an Eagle Ray, sharks, and every fish that was on the fish chart. He was sure to guide everyone to snorkeling that matched their skill set and made sure nobody felt uncomfortable. He was with us every step of the way, or in this case every stroke. He guided us to on-shore excursions as well and educated us so well that we felt like we had been there before. We cannot say enough about both Captain Jake and Chef Kylie....The Best!! 

"Truly the trip of my dreams! Our family of five (mom, dad and three boys ages 12, 16, 19) had such an amazing week on this luxurious and comfortable catamaran. Our hosts, Jake and Kylie were the perfect pairing for us and we thoroughly enjoyed their company! Not knowing a lot about the USVI, and only that we knew we'd like to focus on St. John to snorkel, explore and relax, we asked Jake and Kylie to take us to the places they liked most. Jake sailed us to some of the most beautiful bays, swam with us to great snorkel locations, took the kids tubing behind the dingy, and took us out for a day sail. Every day was filled with perfect amount of activity and relaxing. Can't list them all but a few favorites were snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay, a stop at Lime Out Taco Bar, Maho Beach and Salt Pond Bay when Kylie packed a wonderful beach bag for us with all the things we'd need for a few hours on the beach. They really are the most gracious hosts, eager to do everything to make your stay relaxing and feel completely taken care of. Kylie prepared wonderfully delicious and artful meals that I'm inspired to re-create. Snacks and fresh fruit were always on hand (necessary with 3 boys), and cocktails and mocktails were a very fun part of every day! The boys regularly requested the Jake Killer! Try it! Jake and Kylie are a great pair, they do it all from ensuring clean comfortable quarters to delicious and filling food and beverage, music requests, tours to any place you want to go, stories and history of the area, great directions for excursions, and just all around fun conversations. They made us feel like Serenity was our home for the week and we felt like family in a very short time! I can't say enough about this amazing vacation! We miss Jake and Kylie and would be thrilled to sail with them again to other places in the USVI, BVI or even beyond. You will love your stay on Serenity with Jake and Kylie-beautiful souls!"​

"Sailing though the BVI on Serenity was fabulous. The boat is new, was quite comfortable and had more pillows than we knew what to do with. Jake is a knowledgeable Captain who made the trip fun for all especially the kids. Ask him to make you his specialty drink - the Jake Killer - you won’t be disappointed. Kiley, the chef and all around awesome person has cooking skills that far exceeded our expectations. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious - every single meal! Her cocktails and mocktails rocked too! Jake and Kiley were a great team, very accommodating and they really took great care of us!

We explored many different islands, snorkeled, hiked, fished, did some water sports, relaxed on the beach and much more. The sunsets were breathtaking. I would take this trip, with Jake and Kiley, again in a heartbeat."

Well Kristen and Harry, this trip far exceeded our expectations; your hospitality, flexibility, and warm welcome was just what we needed this week, The two of you worked your butts off this entire week, and that hard work did not go unnoticed. Thank you for the amazing food that was prepared everyday. Thank you for providing healthy food options for Mads. Thank you pivoting every single day for Jake's interviews. Thank you for being so calm during the dives and during the entire week. We are so grateful that the two of you have entered and been part of our journey through life; we feel blessed as well as humbled. We look forward to sharing lots of adventures with you. With much love and gratitude,

-Ted, Wendy, Madeline, Theo, Jake, and Ben

P.S. Chardonnay anyone?

Henru and Kristen,
Thank you for an amazing week! We loved going off the beaten path and finding all the great snorkeling and diving locations! Your hospitality was beyond compare. The food was absolutely amazing! Thank you for all the dives and letting me go on my very first resort dive! The food this week was all so delicious. Cooking for myself will never be the same again!

Thank you guys for the hospitality and putting up with us for this long. The dives were some of my new favorites!! Thanks for all the pina coladas. The icing on the cake was getting our very own map of the trip! If your adventures ever bring you to Georgia, please look us up!

Much love!
Joe and Tessa

Dear Kristen and Harry,
Thank you for an amazing week. Your hospitality and attention to detail were amazing . This is the first time we all got to do this. You exceeded all expectations. What a beautiful trip. The food and drinks were excellent! The diving experience was awesome too. Thank you for taking such great car of our family. Come visit us in Alabama!
Cheers!!
Waldrep Family

We had the most amazing time aboard Karma for 5 nights. The boat was impeccably clean, well appointed, and decorated beautifully. My husband and I (only the 2 of us) did a captain only charter & Captain Harry was spectacular! He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He gave the right amount of conversation and privacy. All wishes on our itinerary were accommodated perfectly. I highly recommend Karma for your perfect BVI charter. Total 5 Star!

Kristen and Harry,
Thank you for such an unforgettable charter. Your attention to detail and flawless execution made everything feel effortless and special!

From incredible meals to top tier private dive excursions, we felt truly spoiled on and off the boat. Your brilliant nature show through in every creative/diverse dish! Harry, you were the most patient, well organized captain our crew could ever dream up. We are especially grateful for the two of you and your unwavering kindness, warmth, and levity- your company made the experience all the more meaningful.

Breathtaking scenery, scrumptious bites, private dives, hidden coves, white beaches, soggy $$$, stargazing, tarpon fishing, wildlife spotting and endless laughter. Truly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven down here. This week has felt like a dream. Will be talking about this trip for years to come!
Lots of Love,
the Slugers

Harry and Kristen,
Our trip was absolutely perfect. Each place was more beautiful than the last. The two of you made a bucket list into life long memories. Everything from the itinerary of our travels to the food and drinks each night was nothing short of perfection. It felt like we had beach and every part of the islands all to ourselves which is exactly what we wanted. Bryan is so excited to bring his new Australian vocabulary back to South Carolina. We cannot wait to try to recreate some of the dishes Kristen made for us at home.
Thank you for making this experience feel like a voyage with friends. We can't wait to come back some day.
Thank you for your amazing hospitality, shared wonders of the BVI, amazing food and memories to last a lifetime.
-The Doherty Family

Dear Harry and Kristen,
This was the most unbelievable trip. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. Both of you were exceptional with your attention to detail, with your knowledge of navigation throughout the islands, and hospitality. The food was Michelin star quality. We tried foods we had never tasted. Absolutely Amazing! Your teamwork was flawless and having you both made our trip unforgettable! Thank you for your care and hospitality! With much love and gratitude.

What a perfect week with some great friends! Thank you Harry and Kristen for all your hard work, careful planning, attention to details, and service. You both have been such a blessing to all of us! We would love to your return your hospitality in Arkansas anytime. With love and respect,
Greg and Dena

What a wonderful week of fellowship and laughter. We had no idea what to expect and were pleasantly surprised with your impeccable attention to detail. Your ability to "read" the room and adjust accordingly is second to none. Harry, thank you for two amazing dives and putting up with a million questions about the boat. Kristen, the food preparation and presentation is like nothing we have experienced.
Prayers for your future together and we hope to see you guys in the future...
Greg and Dena

Harry and Kristen,
Thank you so much for the amazing vacation! I doubt this can ever be topped.
Harry, your patience with me and the other newbies to diving was so kind.
Kristen, your food was amazing!
Much love Lisa and Iain

Dear Kristen and Harry,
Thank you for an epic 60th birthday trip. We did tons of research on the various yachts and crew and we made the perfect selection! It will be hard to top this trip which is a reflection on you both!
Harry,
thanks for helping me comfortable diving again and for getting all of us in the water.
Kristen,
we loved snorkeling and diving with you. You totally shine in the kitchen. Your meals and snacks are so good and creative. It's going to be hard going home to our "cooking."
Please come visit us all in Oregon.
With Much love and gratitude
Lisa and Iain

Harry and Kristen,
The boat and the islands are wonderful, but you two made this trip! Thank you so much! The food was the best I've had. I don't think I could have dove without Harry! We will be back!
Cara and Steve

Dearest Harry and Kristen,
We cannot thank you enough for every single thing you did for the 8 of us. Every meal, boat ride, bed making, the thoughtfulness of the route and each and every stop. Y'alls attention to every detail was top notch and your attitudes and energy made the trip. Your tenderness to our kiddos was top notch and how you strived to make each of their days the best possible meant the world to us. We are so thankful for the friendships made and all the memories made. We appreciate the two of you more than we can say! All out love!
-The Felmets

Words can barely describe what an amazing and wonderful experience we had- a first time for most of us.
A huge thank you to the best charter crew. You went above and beyond to make this trip relaxing, fun, and unforgettable!!
All the best and thank you!
Dave and Charlene

Dear Kristen and Harry,
Thank you for the most incredible week- filled with lasting memories and positive Karma! The food, hospitality, activities- all of it far exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary and the kids senior year of college with you as our hosts. Until our paths cross again... travel widely and experience life at its best!!
Much Love,
Brian, Maria, Colin and Abbey

Dear Harry and Kristen,
We can't thank you enough for your incredible hospitality during our time with you. Your attention to detail is truly exquisite! I planned this trip to surprise my husband for his 40th along with his very best friends, and you all made this trip memorable from start to finish. The course you plotted for us was exactly perfect. The diving was fantastic, but the meals were a personal highlight... Kristen wowed us every night, every morning and every lunch! The boat was also the most perfect place for us to have our wholesome reading time, cocktails, and lounging on all the rafts. You have without a doubt set a new standard for all future vacations. I can't thank you enough for this experience.
-Ashley and Mark, Erika and John

Dear Captain Ivan and Chef Marisia,
We had a spectacular, once in a lifetime (but we'll be back) trip!!! It was the perfect combination of relaxation, activities, and first-class hospitality!
You made Olivia's 18th birthday an awesome memory - from diving to great meals and festive decorations, we could not have asked for more.

The diver was incredible. The swimming and snorkeling as beautiful as we dreamed and every shore experience was perfect!
The food could not have been better! Chef Marisia is incredibly talented and prepared all of our favorite foods every day, ending with sushi experience our favorite ! But most of all, it was both of you that made this the best vacation ever! Your energy. Laughter and kind spirits made us feel not just like your friends but like family!

We hope to see you both of you again very soon.
The Cole Family

We could not have hoped for a better and more attentive crew for our first attempt on a boat charter. You made our week with our kids such a special memory. Thank you for all your work coordinating with our friends on two other boats with two other sets of crew as we realize that could not have been an easy ask. You are both such positive lights and bring joyful energy to the room. Thank you for anticipation of our every need. This is one of the most special trips we have ever experienced. The two of you are such wonderful people and made us feel special the entire trip. The two of you make a perfect team, and anyone would be lucky to have you as their crew. From the food to the stops the safety and helping all of us , you have created something truly special.
-The Curley Family

You both are absolutely amazing humans beings! Your energy and kindness simply radiated from the moment we met you. It only got better from there. The attention to detail + luxurious touches truly made this a once in a life time experience! It was such a treat to be taken care of. The activities & suggested itineraries were perfect. Marisia, you are such a bright ray of sunshine. Your food is 100. Ivan, thank you for your patience and attention, and wonderful diving experience.
-The O'Neil Family

Amazing!!
We had an absolutely amazing trip with beautiful water adventures catching delicious fish.enjoyed the inside knowledge of Ivan and Marisia the thoughtful planned trip. Teaching our kids to snorkel, fish scuba Diving. Exploring the sea creatures educating us all about BVI wild life all of these fantastic memories were effortlessly provided while creating delicious meals (Marisia queen of the sea and kitchen)and guiding the vessel like pro captain Ivan is. The list can go on and on.
-The Keese Family

Wow, what a great experience. Ivan and Marisia went above and beyond our family expectations. They were knowledgeable about the area and extremely experienced in the realm of sailing. Marisia even helped entertain our 5 year old daughter and truly went above and beyond, teaching her to snorkel and to be comfortable in the ocean. Was HUGE! She also did such a fantastic job with the menu that the meals that's heaven prepared, were delicious, varied, and presented beautifully. They were flexible with our itinerary and did such a great job guiding us through the amazingly locations. It's clear they take pride in their work, work well as a team, and take care of their vessel, so it's in tip-top shape at all times.
We can't wait to book again.

-The Chomplin Family

July 2024
This was our best catamaran trip yet. The crew were a fantastic crew who understood all we were looking for & had great knowledge to share & such enthusiasm for life! Our group of 6 all loved our time on Ether!

May 2024
This trip was absolutely perfect and it was all thanks to Ivan and Marisia! We were absolutely spoiled and no other sailing trip will ever compare. We all got to experience new things and some of us conquered our fears of the ocean thanks to the calm and expert guidance of our crew. When we get home we will all forever be longing to hear the conch shell for the chef's spectacular meals. Please come visit us. Thank you for a week of unforgettable memories.

May 2024
This week has been incredible starting with the warm welcome and big hugs. It was easy to see your genuine personalities and bubbling energy. We knew you were the perfect fit for us! Chef-your attention to meals was over the top and much appreciated. I don't think we ate one thing that we didn't like. We also appreciated the variety of snacks set out for any time. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious never lose that ! You both made us feel at home and inspire us to return sooner than later. We will definitely miss you especially Monday morning when we are making our own breakfast! You are truly something special and we feel blessed to know you. We wish you all the luck. Thank you for the most unforgettable week and for letting us be part of your world. Stay in touch .

February 2024
We just competed an 8 day charter with Ether and her crew and had a wonderful time. They are both kind and energetic people who are outstanding professionals. I would not hesitate in the future to book them for a repeat charter and hope to do so. I can highly recommend them for your next BVI trip.

December 2023
The crew of Ether were just incredible. As I shared with them there is customer service and there is customer experience. Customer service is how you treat someone, customer experience is how that person feels treated. I believe I can speak for each and every one of us that were on the trip that they treated us like Royalty! The food was better than a 5 star hotel and their patience, kindness, and humbleness is unheard of in today’s world. If there is anything that we can do to pass on our gratitude to whomever they work for or our appreciation please let us know. Again I lack the words to convey how amazing they were. THEY made the TRIP!!

"Best vacation ever! I don't think we could have packed any more fun and adventure into this week. Thank you for the hospitality, awesome food and entertainment. Hopefully we will see you all again soon!"

"Thank you for an amazing trip!! From the land and sea adventures to the tubing, to the excellent food, our kids really enjoyed the entire trip. Thanks again!"
-Dodson Family

I know I speak for all of us when I say WOW! We all expected the BVI to be gorgeous, and it sure was, but what we didn’t expect was just how great the actual charter experience would be. Karma was a beauty! She was perfect for the 4 of us; giving everyone plenty of room to spread out and relax, or allowing us all to join together for dinner/drinks/music/story time. The provided towels, sunscreen, cups/koozies, shampoo and conditioner really put the cherry on the top. Extra kudos to the AMAZING AC in the cabins. Very unexpected and greatly appreciated. Carol and I also really enjoyed our time up front during the sailings and also was our favorite way to end our nights with some music from their provided speaker. 10 out of 10 for Karma!!

Now onto our top notch crew….Jake and Mackenzie could NOT have been any better. From our communication beforehand, all the way to our “forced” departure from Karma was nothing short of perfection.
Jake wears 100 hats on that yacht: some being captain, plumber, electrician, dingy transporter, keeping everyone informed of the daily plans, leading you in scuba dives, arranging on shore transportation, and our favorite hat was his patience and sweet smile/smirk while listening to our LOUD antics. Jake is so knowledgeable about all things BVI and yachting, we all felt completely safe and in good hands.
And now let’s talk about Mackenzie…THIS FOOD!!!! We woke up every morning to the unreal smells of her breakfast filling our cabins. Mid day “snacks” were gourmet and mouth watering even for our picky boys. And her dinners…..HOLY SMOKES!! I have no clue how she was able to do it every single night, but she did!! Top tier meals and desserts that left all of us ready to pop. We told her in advance our boys like plain food and she took “plain food” and elevated it into a three MICHELIN star meal that had our boys cleaning their plates. She is so thoughtful in everything she makes and it shows in taste and gorgeous presentation.

On top of shared yacht time, we were able to spend some time with them off yacht, per OUR request, and really feel like we left with two more family members. From Shark Shots, family meetings, lobster dinner ashore, random story times, the 7/14 game at Hendo’s, girl time in the water at Soggy’s, my surprise 50th bday decorations and cake, to the real sign of adoration…nicknames!!! Jake Ma Boy and Mack Daddy will come highly recommended from our group to anyone and everyone that asks, and they have an open invitation to stay with us in San Antonio!


Another Happy Karma Guest,
Sarah

All we can say is WOW! You've shown us the most beautiful places and fed us as if we were kings and queens. Thank you a million times for your warm spirits and hospitality. You became family to us this week and we will never forget you both or this epic 40th Birthday trip.

We wanted to express a heartfelt 'Thank you' for an extraordinary week aboard Karma. Great dives, amazing snorkeling, phenomenal food, and superb cocktails! All we can say is that you all made this a truly unforgettable 40th! Thank you guys so much!

From the hugs at greeting us on Day 1, to our daily 'Captain Lectures', the Hoyle 7 had a memorable and fun week courtesy of you. So many highs - from tubing, wakeskating, hiking, the Baths (scaring you both and Patsy by "disappearing" 😉 ) to paddleboarding, chilling at Soggy Dollar and snorkeling! I'm sure I'm forgetting a few! The experience was 5 stars and you both were so warm and welcoming. Last bu not least - the food was absolutely AHMAYZING! If you're ever in San Diego, please look us up! Lots of love, the Hoyle 7

Thanks for an amazing week in an amazing place on an amazing boat with an amazing crew! We made memories that will last our lives and we're excited to get back to the BVIs as soon as we can for more fun! And if you're ever in the Boulder area, say hi! We'd love to show you our town!

Mackenzie and Jake, Wow! What an amazing trip and experience you both have given us! Your attention to detail, AMAZING meals, and incredible itineraries every day made this trip one that we will never forget, and we hope to come back very soon! Everything from scuba diving, playing sequence and Rummikub, and all of the amazing islands you showed us was nothing short of amazing! We hope to stay in touch and see you soon!
-The Cummings Family

Wow! Another unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Thank you both for making it so special. Y'all were (again) the best part of this amazing trip. Thank you for everything! We love you and it's not goodbye, it's see you later!"

Thank you again for putting together this great week and please let us know if you ever have any questions for us or about Karma.

We LOVED this week of great food and excellent service! You provided us with all the special touches to make us feel like we were in paradise. You provided us with an amazing holiday, and you both were so helpful, great, and made our trip so enjoyable. Thanks again!
-The Birch Family

Thank you so much for such an amazing week. You guys are so awesome. Every day was so special because of you. The Anegada 500 was so epic and a day we will never forget. From the bottom of our hearts to the tops of our budgy smugglers, you made our engagement so special and perfect. We felt like you guys were part of our crazy family & loved that you came to our engagement dinner and celebrated with us. It meant the world! You guys didn't just help make our memories, but you guys made our memories, and we are forever grateful! If you are ever in Portland, hit us up! Cheers and hope our paths cross again.

When you live with people for more than three days...Jake and Mackenzie, you are an amazing team, and you were instrumental in ensuring a mixed family vacation, birthday, and engagement surprise! Thank you for making the week super special.

-The Koonings

"Thank y'all for making this trip so amazing! From the food to the card games, I've loved it all. Y'all have made this trip so unforgettable. Y'alls high energy and happiness has radiated onto all of us. I am so lucky to have experienced all these things with y'all. From the dolphins to the turtles it was so perfect. Y'all will always have a place in my heart and I hope the future treats you well!"

"What a wonderful vacation, spectacular in every way! The scenery, the weather, the food, the company, the boat, all were perfect. Thank you for making the week one we will remember forever. The time together as a family is precious and the two of you made it even better. Thank you for creating such a wonderful family experience for us. You made us feel like part of your family and I will not forget this special time with you both. We will treasure our time on board Karma for a lifetime!:

"This vacation was simply amazing!!! All of the places we visited were beautiful and I loved the itinerary y'all put together for us. Thank y'all for helping me fulfill my dreams of seeing a turtle AND the dream I didn't know I had of seeing dolphins. Jake and Mackenzie, I have also loved getting to hear yall's stories and creating memories with y'all. Y'all both made this vacation one to remember, especially because it's my last one before college. I wish y'all the best!"

What an incredible adventure with Karma and the amazing crew! Mackenzie and Jake were fantastic in every way. The food, story telling, and exploration of all the islands were incredible! Thank you both for filling our bucket - trip of a lifetime! You two will be talked about for years to come!
-Delano Family

"Wow! What an incredible trip. You two are amazing hosts!"

"You guys have opened my view of the world and made me braver! Thank you for bringing more adventure into our lives. Until next time!"

All we can say is wow! What an amazing week filled with so many amazing adventures! You both were amazing. Thank you so much for the hospitality! Trip of a lifetime!
-the Dean Family

Our gratitude is inexpressible. You've gifted us with your company, hospitality, and kindness at a time in our lives when it was so direly needed! Your reception and warmth was second to none. The itinerary you built around our interests was spot on every day without fail; and your meals were works of art - feasts for all the senses. If you ever find yourselves in NC, be it exploring the area or just passing through, please know there is a place for you to stay any time!
-The Schonwalders

Thank you for a memorable week! All the great planning and excursion spots were top notch. Mackenzie we missed you for the last part of the trip but Jake did an amazing job and Casey was fun to get to know. We are glad we got to be with you guys for the end of 2023 and start 2024 off on the right note!
We will definitely recommend Karma to our friends!

From the moment we stepped aboard - no actually even before that - you were both gracious, hospitable, and attentive beyond measure. Mackenzie - your warm and loving demeanor are welcoming like a dear friend, and Jake, your chill vibe exudes confidence and capability to ensure your passenger's safety. You each bring an easy, good-time-to-be-had-by-all tone that is delivered day after day. From beginning to end, we could not have been more fortunate to have you as our hosts for this long-desired experience. You each embody the name of the boat you crew, and you created not just a great week, but a lasting reminder of how to live. I am deeply grateful and appreciative of all you did for us this week.

Thank you for an awesome week of beautiful coves, great underwater adventures, and amazing food and beverages! Couldn't have asked for better hosts! You guys ROCK! I appreciate your time and efforts to make everything so perfect - even the last minute surprise wedding. Magnificent!

Pretty sure there was never a crew so perfectly suited to a boat's name - it was a karmic pairing to be sure! Thank you for the early AM SUP sessions, watching waves at Little Jost Van Dyke, and creating a perfect wedding day for our friends! You two created a perfect experience. Thank you Mackenzie and Jake!

Words can't express how much I've enjoyed our time on the boat. Memories for a lifetime - thank you for taking such good care of us. You two were the best! part of the trip. Thank you for all you do and did to make our BVI adventure absolutely amazing!

Jake and Mack -
Thank you for an unforgettable week filled with incredible food, gorgeous sights, and even more laughter. Your abundant hospitality was so appreciated as we celebrated a milestone. Life long memories were made and we can't thank you enough for your energy.
Much love,
the Kenkel Family

Thank you so much for such an incredible week on Karma. We had so much fun! It's hard to pick one (or even a few) favorite when we enjoyed so much. The diving was amazing, as were the on land excursions at The Baths, Anegada, and Soggy Dollar. We loved those adventures but also had such a blast on the boat - a magical home away from home for this week. The family breakfast / lunch / dinner table with all of us together is a gift that is somewhat elusive during this chapter of life, and this time together will be cherished forever. And the food. Truly magnificent every time. Works of art!!!
Since I'm delivering these thanks I'll add a special shout-out for the TSwift dance parties - and I'm sure the whole family would concur - the games, music, conversations, and boat vibe provided much needed connection and relaxation!
Thank you!!"

Many thanks for an awesome week! Your hospitality and attention to detail could not have been better. The dives, activities and cuisine were fabulous.
Thanks again for such a memorable family vacation!

Jake & Mackenzie,
We can't thank you enough for making this such a wonderful birthday celebration! From the sailing, diving, amazing food, cool land excursions, and relaxing time on the boat, everything truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you for both welcoming us and making us feel so comfortable throughout the week. We have so many wonderful memories to carry back to Texas with us!

Jake & Mackenzie,
Thank you so much for an unbelievable week! We appreciate so much you sharing your home with us. We enjoyed immensely your energy and spirit, you made the trip so much fun. Awesome dives, wonderful food, and great conversation. All in all, the most relaxing week we've spent.

Jake and Mackenzie,
Thank you for making this vacation a memorable one! Y'all are an amazing team, thank you for the wonderful food and sailing! We will miss you!
Much love and Warrrrrr Eagle!

Mac and Jake,
Thank you for such an amazing trip! We had a wonderful time! The entire trip was perfect. The boat, the food, the service was spot on.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"Wow! Best week ever! Everything was wonderful from the start to the end. You went above and beyond with all the details. The 80's celebration birthday was so fun at Saba Rock... definitely one for the books! Food was amazing and thanks for everything."

"We had such an amazing trip!!! So many highlights and memories of a lifetime. Thank you both for hosting and being a part of this awesome trip."

Thank you so much for making our family holiday so wonderful! The grandchildren, Sarah and Greg, and us all had a really fantastic time. The kids had a wonderful introduction to sailing and the ocean. The meals were delicious and I will miss being so spoiled! Thank you again, this has been such a special holiday!

It's hard to tell you how much this trip meant to us. The girls were in awe of the islands, the boat, the wildlife, and your incredible hospitality. This was the trip of a lifetime and you two absolutely made it. You are both tireless and went above and beyond in every way.
So much love, can't wait to see you again!

This trip has been nothing short of awesome! It literally was the best family vacation we have ever done and we can't thank you both enough! From snorkeling to breakfast cake and goat spotting, we had a blast! We hope to be back but wish you both the best.
You are always welcome in Philly and Avalon!

The best of everything! Karma brought us back for round two but Jake and Mackenzie will bring us back for round three! Thank you for all you did to make our week perfect.

What a trip! Our time with you was fantastic! You are amazing hosts and made sure we were well taken care of at all times. Hope to sail with the two of you again!

-The Ransdell Family

Jake and Mac,
Dream come true! We always wanted to do this and two of you made it even better than we hoped for! We had a beautiful week with nice weather, fun outings, and incredible food. Your gracious hospitality is so very appreciated! Wish you both the very best and don't hesitate to call if you ever get to the DFW area.

"Best. Week. Ever! We owe it all to ya'll Jake and Mackenzie! You've set the bar high for any and all future vacations. Thanks for the adventures, '10 minute' walks, shark shots, morning meetings, skis of shots (shot skis?), games, and everything in between. But mostly thank you for having us in your home and sharing your love for these islands. It's not goodbye, it's 'see you later!'"

There are truly no words to express my gratitude towards the two of you. Thank you thank you thank you for making this an experience of a lifetime!

You two have made this trip truly priceless! Thank you for everything - the friendship, food, little details, captain's skills and knowledge, and of course the 'shark shots!' have been unmatched! I could go on and on, but we will miss you and we will carry these memories forever.

Thank thank thank you for your outstanding and warm welcome. From the beginning to end we couldn't have asked for a more amazing time! Although the activities, scenery, and food were first rate, it is your ability to please and accommodate this motley crew that impressed us most. You guys are the best at what you do. We thank you so much for making a most memorable time in the BVI and USVIs.

Thank you for making this sailing trip incredible! The meals were gourmet and delicious! We enjoyed getting to know both of you and hope our paths cross again!

Mac and Jake -
Wow and wow! What a fabulous week! Can't even express how much fun we had. Keep being you and your future will be amazing!

Dear Mac and Jake, Thank you both for the beautiful week on the Karma! We had the best time. You both are so awesome. The adventure took us to some beautiful places we hope to return to!

Take care and if you are ever in the Smoky Mtns., call us!

Mac and Jake,
[We] don't have the words for how wonderful the week has been! The boat, the weather, the sunsets, the food, and the fun were awesome! However, you guys are what put it over the top!! Thank you!

"Mac and Jake, I can't even begin to express my gratitude for all you did to make this trip so special! Your itinerary was exactly what we wanted. Thank you for being so accommodating with Kelea and putting up with all of these requests. This trip was magical and I'll never forget it! I hope to come back. All the best!"

"Mac and Jake, Thank you so much for an incredible week on Karma! The meals were delicious, the sites were amazing, the boat was awesome BUT, you two made the trip special! You two are the best! Come see us in Texas!"

"Mack and Jake, Wow!! Such an amazing experience. Karma is perfect, the meals are absolutely scrumptious and your delightfully happy and positive attitudes made every day perfect. Thanks for all the hard work and incredible hospitality. We would love to host you both in Dallas and take you to the Ranch!"

Dear Mac and Jake
thank you both for the most awesome week of sailing around the USVI and BVI! We will always look back on the beaches, cocktails, dolphins, meals, paddleboards and liar's dice games with great memories. Happy Holidays and cheers to a new year of adventure and good times!
- Best, the Brooks Fam

"Dear Mackenzie and Jake,
What a wonderful week we had. The cruising, sailing, snorkeling, and the meals were beyond our wildest expectations! But best of all were you two, who couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. We are headed home with warm memories and a repertoire of new games to play. All the best!"

"Dear Jake & Mac,
Thank you for a really wonderful time cruising the Caribbean. I especially appreciate your care, humor, and good nature. We will remember you and our time here very fondly. All the best to you in all your future endeavors. We will be wondering where your journeys take you!"

"Dear Mackenzie & Jake,
It was a wonderful week. Thanks for all your easy going, positive vibes. We will remember the trip as full of good Karma, good food, and fun! Wishing you the very best always!"

While the boat is beautiful, the magic of this trip was Mac and Jake! The memories made will feed our souls for years, the laughs will be the music in our dreams, and the music of the sea will be a soundtrack we will play on repeat.

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this week has been.
Thank you Jake and Mackenzie - AMAZING!

Thanks for the memories and birthday wishes!
Love our time with you guys.

Cieciuch Family, US Virgin Islands
“Jake and Mackenzie, there are not enough adjectives to explain how AMAZING you both were! Kind, warm, fun, energetic and knowledgeable. The food was incredible (and we are not easy to cook for with allergies and vegetarians amongst us). Mackenzie was so creative. Her presentations were gorgeous. We ate like royalty. Our older daughter - who has the allergies - was thrilled, as were we all. And Jake was a blast and has good karma as we always found the best mooring spots! He was always happy to teach us about the boat and about sailing, and energetically facilitated all the activities of our active family. Both of them tirelessly played games and swam with us and the girls in their down time. Our younger daughter cried all the way to town after they dropped us off because she was missing them so much. We would absolutely book another trip with this duo!”

Johnson Family, US Virgin Islands
“I cannot thank you two enough for such a fantastic trip. Y'all are the best! We really needed the down time and we are so appreciative of you both for taking such great care of our family. Y'all make a great team and you provided our family with an outstanding vacation.”

Herold Family, US Virgin Islands
“Thank you for an amazing experience! You make a dynamic duo. This trip was definitely memorable and that is a big part to do with your amazing hospitality!! The island hopping, the games, and the snorkeling were so fun, and we appreciate all of your hard work and efforts to make this the best trip ever."

Oren Crew, US Virgin Islands
“Wow! What an amazing time we’ve had exploring St. Thomas and St. John with you! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect match than you both. You made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and you embraced our quirkiness and adventures! You chose perfect spots to explore and did a perfect job listening to our interests and needs and creating a great itinerary accordingly. Mackenzie – the food was top notch! We got so spoiled with your delicious cuisine. We created lasting memories and have enjoyed every moment. The anniversary celebration, “bachelorette party,” and 40th birthday bash were all so fun! We all hope to make a return visit and wouldn’t think to sail with anyone other than you two. Whether it’s here or Croatia, this won’t be the last you see of us!”

Best care anywhere! Charming and incessantly attentive. Hannah and Tom made for a care free week on Karma. The natural beauty of paradise was heightened by our amazing crew and boat. Thanks for the memories!
-Carlos

What an incredible week of great food, beautiful views, fun times, and lifelong memories. Thanks to Hannah and Tom for all the great attention, food, and time!
-Michelle

Both the boat and crew rocked! Thanks Tom and Hannah. Can't wait to sail with you both again!
-Pete and Dani

Such a great time better than we hoped for with outstanding food and service. Hope we can cruise with you two again soon!
-Love Kate and Kevin

Thank you so much for the most memorable vacay! Hannah and Tom exceeded all expectations. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future for sure!
-George and Mitzy

The crew is what made Karma so perfect. Captain Tom and Chef Hannah..I don’t have adequate words to describe them. They work so well together, are so welcoming and accommodating, anticipated any need we might have before we even knew we wanted it, generous with their time and talent, friendly—we felt at home the moment we came onboard. Honestly, I could keep going. We are all ruined now because they set the bar so high.

Chef Hannah and Captain Tom
Wow- I honestly have no adequate words to thank you enough for sharing your "Karma" with us all. I knew this would be an amazing trip, but I had no idea how beyond amazing it would be. The setting, the adventure, all of our experiences were magnified by your grace and hospitality. From the depths of my heart I say "Thank You"
Many blessings on your adventures to come.
Joan and Jeff

Hannah and Tom,
Thank you for a great adventure, sailing, eating, atmosphere. Everything was perfecto. We are thankful for this amazing week.
Best of luck in your future adventures
-Bill

Tom and Hannah,
Your hospitality is superb!! Karma is such a great boat to entertain. Hannah's cooking has been so delicious. Tom's expertise in everything has been amazing. We have had the most wonderful time this week. You have made it one of our most memorable vacations!!
Best wishes for your future together.
Trey and Cindy

Hannah and Tom,
You are amazing! Always a smile and a helping hand when needed. Amazing food putting us in all the right places to really enjoy a spectacular week. You are an amazing team and we wouldn't have had the special experience we all had without all you did for us. Thank you! While you "say" no one saw more octopus that us, it was your guidance that got us there! Octopus, squid, rays, eels, and so many turtles. You always put us in the right spots!
We certainly are leaving with a few more pounds than we came with! Hannah -your menus were great!
We leave with many fond memories and will think back on our grand adventure with delight. We will miss you both and hope you have a wonderful life and many great adventures ahead.
-Amy, Steve, Drew, and Cole

Hannah and Tom,
Hopefully the pounds will leave while the memories linger-we had a marvelous week and took joy in your seamanship and teamwork. You truly are a dream!
Love to both of you and our very best wishes on continuing adventures.
-Dick and Maxine

Hannah and Tom,
It is so hard to find the words to say for what this trip means to us. Family, friends, Xmas, and these good islands all together is incredible but then to have the 2 of you guiding us, cooking for us, sharing tips and smiles makes out hearts so full. Amazingly you showed us new things, new places, new drinks and recipes, and bioluminescent fish on our last night. We all feel reenergized and are already looking forward to next year (we will need time to diet before returning). Lionfish, lobsters, mahi-mahi, turtles-we felt like we were in heaven. Bravo! Standing Ovation! And all our love.
-Connie and Miles, Ron and Andy

Hannah and Tom are really special people…friendly, thoughtful, service oriented, always available to help, professional, lovely. They are truly amazing crew. We highly recommend them. No words would adequately describe the miraculous dishes that came out of that galley! I was wondering how Hannah would pull off another week of fabulous cuisine without repeating dishes we experienced last year, but she did!! We didn’t request new dishes but her creativity and presentation impressed everyone. Our experience on Karma was top class, and we will most certainly do it again!
-Ehrharts

Toma nd Hannah
How can we begin to thank you for giving us this amazing, beautifull, memorable, perfect vacation? We will always remember the two of you and the week on Karma. We loved the FOOD, the two of you, the perfect spots you chose, tubing, hiking, shopping, and the snorkeling. Your hospitality was over the top. We are definitely going to come back for another trip. Safe travels to Grenada! Anytime you are in Maryland look us up, so we can return the hospitality.
Thank you

Hi guys!
If you are reading this know we miss you tons! You guys were the absolute best! The food and drinks and activities were fun-but what we enjoyed most was your company! You are both such kind, interesting, and fun people and I'm so lucky that we booked with you! We must go diving in Truks or skiing in Jackson Hole together! I will always remember your family and I hope this not the last time we meet.
Love Always
Kaleigh

Wow-how do we even put into words what this trip has been for us. Our expectations were incredibly high an they were constantly exceeded. Thank you for an amazing week. Not sure what was the best part-the food, the drinks, the laughs, the great vistas? Thankfully the only casualty was one apple watch. Not sure how we can ever top this trip. Thank you Tom and Hannah for making this all that it has been!
Love Kyle and Brooke

We are at a loss for words to adequately capture how amazing this trip has been! Hannah and Tom went above and beyond to make this our best vacation ever! Gourmet food, beautiful bays, unimaginable rainbows, peanut butter bushwhackers and the best gin fizz ever. snorkeling with seat turtles, sunrises and sunsets, best Kentucky Derby party with caribbean hats to boot. All of it was so fun and special. Even a torrential down pour at Lime Out was fun! Thank you for an amazing vacation. Out hearts (and tummies!) are full. We leave rested and relaxed and hoping to do it again.
-Rachel and Robert

Tom and Hannah,
What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sailing expertise, and hospitality with us. We enjoyed the USVI. there are now words to describe the week we had with you both! To the best captain and chef ever! We will never forget any of it. Keep in touch!
Thank you

Thank you for a fantastic week in paradise! Mat loved the snorkeling in Warerlemon, I loved the Maho Bay hike, the kids loved Cinnamon Beach snorkeling and all the gaming. Camden will remember all the Monopoly and Dominoes. The food was fantastic and the rum punch and bushwhackers were superb! We will be back unless we buy our own boat. Thank you for the best family vacation.
-Ursula and Mat

We just returned from an incredible week aboard Breathe with Captain Jason and Sydney in the BVI, and I felt it was important to share just how exceptional these two are. We’ve been on many cruises with different crew, but Jason and Sydney stand far above the rest; they are simply second to none.
Their professionalism, maturity, and attention to every detail were unmatched. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone on board had an amazing time. Even with some unpredictable weather, they navigated perfectly and found the ideal balance between adventure, comfort, and relaxation. Every stop was incredible, and every day felt effortless under their care.
Jason and Sydney represent the very best of what the industry offers, and they made this our most enjoyable charter yet. We’re already booked to return to the BVI and assume they will be our crew again.

Thanks,

Christian


Jason & Sydney
Wow. I am so very grateful that we met. Thankful for your hospitality and to the chance to learn from you. Thank you for all you both did for us all. It was an honour to be part of the journey. Sydney, I will take with me your stories from south Africa, dogs and beer bread! Jason, I will take with me your ability to show me the freedom behind sailing and the power behind a pitcher of frozen cocktails.
With love and gratitude
Nicole


Jason & Sydney
You’re marvelous!
It took 10 of these sails to find a captain and 1st mate that were as great as you two! You guys smashed expectations and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a better holiday. Thank you both so much for a wonderful week in the BVIs.
Best
Kairen

Jason & Sydney
Thank you both for an amazing week! I have waited 9 years to get back to the BVIs and it did NOT disappoint. Every meal was exceptional and everyday was perfect. I meant it when I said you guys have been my favourite Captain and 1st Mate! Thank you again for everything, and I hope I get to sail with you guys in the future again!
Wishing you both all the best!
Jenny

Jason & Sydney
You have our gratitude, and appreciation for all you did for us this week. You two are truly the best at what you do. Until we meet again.
Smooth seas and following winds!
Chrissy and Jeff

Dear Jason and Sydney
You both have been amazing this week! Ive enjoyed your company, your friendship, my sailing lessons, and many great conversations and wonderful meals! I wish you both the very best and hope we can cross paths again in the near future!
Thank you for everything.

Jason & Sydney
Thank you for an amazing week. Sydney the food was delicious and SO beautifully prepared. Jason you are just fantastic, wonderful navigation and excellent cocktails!
I so appreciate you two

There are vacations… and then there are experiences that completely change you as a person. What we experienced with Hazel and Yaya was not simply a charter, a getaway, or even a luxury trip. It was one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences of our lives, and I truly believe a piece of our hearts will always remain on that boat with them.

From the moment we stepped onboard, Hazel had this incredible presence about him. Calm, confident, genuine, thoughtful—someone who instantly makes you feel safe, taken care of, and completely at ease. What amazed us most about Hazel was how effortlessly he made every single day feel perfectly tailored to us. He somehow knew exactly when we wanted adventure, when we wanted to relax, when we wanted to explore, when we wanted quiet moments together, and when we wanted to laugh until our stomachs hurt. Exploring the islands with Hazel leading the way felt like seeing the world through the eyes of someone who truly loves what he does. Every route, every stop, every experience felt intentional. He didn’t just captain a yacht—Hazel created memories that will stay with us forever.

And then there is Yaya...

I genuinely don’t know if words can do Yaya justice.

I can say, without a single ounce of exaggeration, that Yaya prepared the best food I have ever had in my entire life. Not “best food on a boat.” Not “best vacation food.” The best food... period. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—every single meal somehow topped the last. We would finish a meal and think, there’s no way it gets better than this... and then somehow Yaya would do it again.

But what made Yaya so special wasn’t just her talent in the kitchen—it was the love behind everything she created. You could feel it in every bite. Every plate felt thoughtful, personal, beautiful, and unforgettable. She completely changed how I think about food. She reminded me that food is not just something you eat—it’s something that brings people together, creates emotion, and tells a story. And Yaya told one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever experienced.

The yacht itself was absolutely incredible. There were five of us—my mother, my mother-in-law, my husband, my best friend, and myself—and somehow it felt like we had endless space. Everyone had room to relax, recharge, connect, and have their own moments while still sharing this unbelievable experience together.

But if I’m being honest... the yacht, the islands, the views, the luxury—all of that was only part of what made this so extraordinary.

The real magic was Hazel and Yaya.

Somewhere during this trip, they stopped feeling like crew and started feeling like family. Saying goodbye to Hazel and Yaya at the end was genuinely emotional. There were tears. There were hugs. And there was this overwhelming feeling that something incredibly special had just happened to all of us.

There is truly no dollar amount in this world that can buy the kind of memories, connection, growth, and perspective that Hazel and Yaya gave our family. This wasn’t just a vacation. This was life changing.

This trip changed how I see the world. It changed how I value time with the people I love. It changed how I think about food, adventure, and being present in the moment.

And the hardest part of all... was leaving Hazel and Yaya.

We are all heartbroken that it’s over, but one thing is certain...

We will be back for Hazel and Yaya. And until then, we’ll be talking about this experience for the rest of our lives.

Yah Yah & Hazel

We all had such an amazing time! The cooking meals were a “10!!”. We hope to have another adventure with you both in the future. Thank you, thank you.

Marleigh

Yah Yah & Hazel,


Thank you so much for everything. Your attention to detail elevated the trip from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY!!! We really could not have hoped for a better team to guide us on this journey.

We hope this is just the beginning of many trips together and hope to see you very soon. We miss you already!!!

Jackie and Max

Hazel & Yah Yah,

You are the best! So appreciate all your hospitality and fantastic cooking. This was such a special vacation for us – way too short. Hope to see you again soon!

Don & Brenda

Yah Yah & Hazel,

Thank you for making this trip incredible! Trip of a lifetime. Thanks to you. Incredible food, amazing drinks, and getting us to see every sight worth seeing in BVI!

You two are something special and have an amazing future ahead of you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
-Nikki & John

Yah Yah & Hazel,

What an incredible week on Scuba Doo! We cannot thank you both enough for the hospitality and the fun. From the delicious food to amazing cocktails (frozen spiked lemonade!) to everything in between.

We will miss you but expect to be back very soon
-Becker and Allie

Dear Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you so much for the most amazing week in the BVI’s. Our family had the BEST time! We would love to host you if you ever come to New Orleans!


The food was amazing!! We can’t wait to buy your cookbook — we will still lick the plates. Thank you so much for carefully curating our itinerary and getting us to all the best spots!!


Being on ScubaDoo was the perfect way to usher in the New Year. I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us if this is how it starts.



Hazel was so patient with us while scuba diving and so kind to pull everyone in on the dinghy.


We so appreciate your amazing hospitality and all your kindness


Lots of love,

Julie, Lance, Jake, Caitlin & Charlotte

You guys made this ship feel like home, and I couldn’t have imagined a better crew!! Y’all are the best bartenders, DJs, divemasters, guides, and multitaskers.

Caitlin

This trip was truly unforgettable thanks to you guys — you’re truly so kind and multi-talented! I hope we get together again someday.

— Luke


Thank you so much for your incredible kindness, talent, and dedication. It made this week truly unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience for my family.

— Lance

Yah Yah,
Huge thanks for an unforgettable week on ScubaDoo! We’re still drooling about the insanely creative and delicious dishes, as well as those next-level tablescapes (seriously Hazel, how did you do it?!).


The food wasn’t just meals — it was part of the adventure. Extra thanks for listening to all of Dad’s stories to keep him entertained… and all of us fat and happy!!


To Hazel, we greatly appreciate your determination for finding us the perfect spots, best adventures, coolest bartender, dinghy tubing, and wakeboarding master. You are a great captain and we appreciate you allowing the guys to help and keeping Danzi entertained.


AND let’s not forget the amazing tablescapes… honestly overachieving in the best way possible!

The Goessweins

Hazel & Yah Yah,


Words cannot describe what an amazing trip this was on the ScubaDoo with the both of you. Every day was special because of you. We will always cherish Anegada.


Thank you for joining our family and putting such love and thoughtfulness into every meal, drink, place setting, love — and most of all that natural loving energy that comes from you both.


We know we are an “interesting bunch”. Thanks for accepting that and going with it. Especially Michael — he will miss the bed ferries, food, sails, beautiful views.


But when we talk about this trip, meeting the two of you will be the number one hardest thing to walk away from.



We will be back and already planning on the next ScubaDoo adventure. Hopefully we see y’all before then.



So much love

Lauren, Kim, Jennifer, Will, Sabrina & Michael


P.S. Hazel’s neutral current really is incredible!

Hazel and YaYa were fantastic. Hazel's skippering ability, combined with the boats equipment, let us do more things than I have done previously. He also accompanied us on land tours (the Baths) and gave us a personal tour. YaYa is a great chef/host. Her cooking is amazing – the best I've ever had on a charter like this. Her passion and talent for cooking really came through. Hazel and YaYa were equally good making drinks. They have a lot of energy and really interacted with my family. We had a lot of fun with them!
-The Scocos Family

Yah Yah & Hazel,

This trip didn’t disappoint! You two were a delight. Hazel, the care you took of us was beyond – you vanished my dive anxiety by your calm and peacefulness.

Yah Yah, the food was 5-star. Your catering is to feed people! Your love of food shines through.

Please look us up when you’re in Los Angeles – we would love to see you.

Thanks again!

– Bill & Kathy

I don’t have the words to express how wonderful and amazing this trip was. You both go above and beyond all!

Hazel, thanks for ‘babysitting’ me on our dives – I would have missed out on so much.

Yah Yah, the food was incredible – over-the-top wonderful!

The bartender did a spectacular job as well!

We thank you for a personal experience. And… we hope to see you again soon!

– Paul & Mary

Dear Yah Yah & Hazel,

We want to thank you both so much for all of your hard work. Your combined experience, thoughtfulness, and dedication ensured we had an incredible vacation.

From the exceptional food and drinks you prepared, the stunning snorkel excursions, and beautiful beach walks – everything allowed us to have an incredible vacation that surpassed all expectations.

Thank you, so much!

Love, your Toronto friends.

– Lisa & Barry

Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you so much for everything you did for our family. I could never have imagined the care you took of all of us.

All the food was amazing, the drinks were wonderful, the views you brought us to were unbeatable!

We will always remember this trip and the two of you.

We hope to see you again next year.

– Emily & Joe

Yah Yah & Hazel,

What an amazing experience! The food was outstanding. This is just what I needed to de-stress.

You both were so wonderful – easygoing, and we felt so safe.

When we are back in flat Kansas, we will think back to this trip and smile.

Thank you!

– Gretchen & Terry

P.S. So excited to order my new coffee maker!!!

Libby & Tim

We had a wonderful, relaxing week. Hazel and Yah Yah went out of their way to make it the trip we hoped for. Lots of sailing, perfect spots for snorkeling, swimming, and paddleboarding.

Yah Yah produced beautiful and delicious meals.

Very sad that the week is over.

Wish you the best in all your adventures!

– Libby & Tim

You made this trip above and beyond amazing! We can not thank you enough for taking care of our every need and allowing us to truly relax. We hope to sail with you again in the near future and wish you a beautiful rest of your season.

-Matt and Heather

It was by far one of our best trips ever! You guys were so fun and did an amazing job of taking care of us. The food was so good! The drinks too! It was so relaxing, and you did a great job of showing us the best places! I can’t wait to do it again. We would love to take you out on our 25 foot Malibou boat back home. If you are ever in Minnesota, call us.
-Heather and Travis

Thank you so much for an amazing first yacht experience! We had an absolute Best time and you both made our trip incredible! Every detail and expectation was beyond amazing! We will be back!

Thank you for everything

Scooter & Theresa

Absolutely incredible experience aboard Scuba Doo, the Lagoon 50 catamaran in the British Virgin Islands! From the moment we stepped on board, Hazel and Ya Ya made us feel like we were on top of the world. Their hospitality was unmatched, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. Ya Ya’s cooking was out of this world – every meal was a culinary masterpiece, and I was blown away by the variety and freshness of the dishes.

The activities were incredible as well! Scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters was an absolute highlight – I got to explore vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside octopus, sea turtles and exotic fish. Snorkeling was equally amazing, with abundant marine life just waiting to be discovered. For the more adventurous, wakeboarding in the calm, turquoise lagoons was so much fun – and the crew made sure everyone was safe and had a blast. I got up on my first try after Hazel’s great lesson.

The whole trip was a dream come true. If you’re looking for an unforgettable vacation in paradise with a crew that feels like family, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s 5 stars all the way!

I just spent an amazing week aboard Scuba Doo 50 in the BVI! We did a lot of fabulous diving, snorkeling, excursions, wakeboarding and other water activities but what really made the experience special was the hospitality and the food by the crew. Somehow, in between preparing restaurant quality meals, snacks and excellent drinks with love and care, leading water excursions, cleaning up after us and keeping the boat and all the water toys well maintained, the crew, Chef Yah Yah and Captain Hazel, also managed to make us feel like family. The environment they created, their ability to always make sure we were comfortable and having the best time and the knowledge they have of the BVI, marine life and the boat absolutely enhanced the whole experience!

I highly recommend a trip on Scuba Doo 50!!

We have been to the BVI twice prior and chartered a similar boat. Our experience on Scuba Doo was first class and exceeded our expectations. The crew, Ya Ya and Hazel were phenomenal. They went out of their way every day to accommodate our requests and make an amazing experience for our kids. From tubing, diving, E-foiling, snorkeling and beach excursions every day was unique and memorable. Scuba Doo is very spacious and well laid out. We spent most of our down time relaxing up front or up top. The boat has everything you need and high end appointments. The Wifi worked excellent the entire trip and was easy to check work emails if needed. The food and attention to detail was fabulous. Hands down the best cuisine we have experienced on a BVI charter. Our kids who can be picky loved every meal and wished their mother could cook like Ya Ya. We were sad to leave but will always remember this trip and look forward to returning on a boat crewed by Hazel and Ya Ya.

- The Florie Family

Talk about living the dream! A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of spending a week aboard Scuba Doo 50. Since I had never chartered a boat before, I had no idea what to expect. But let me tell you – this experience exceeded every expectation! The crew, Yah Yah and Hazel, made the week beyond special. They were warm, welcoming, accommodating, and incredibly service-oriented. Yah Yah’s cooking? Absolute perfection! Every meal was delicious and tailored to our tastes. Hazel’s captain skills? Smooth sailing! He handled everything with confidence and ease, making us feel completely at home. The yacht itself? Stunning, spotless, and packed with every luxury imaginable. You won’t find a better crew or a more incredible experience. All I can say is, don’t just dream about it, go do it!

A very special experience for a multitude of different reasons. The freedom to explore all of the BVIs, making it feel like an inclusive experience complete with your own Michelin star worthy chef YahYah. This trip would have been wildly different without them leading the way.

Truly- a once in a lifetime experience that is totally worth it.

Very, very sad for this trip to come to a close.

I just spent a week with Yah Yah and Hazel aboard Scuba Doo

I have to say they make work look like fun and made our charter feel like we are their friends .

Each meal was delicious and presented like being in a fancy fancy restaurant.

I have more pictures of my meals than I should but needed to have them.

I recommend highly trying to get this experience you won’t regret it.
-Karen

I just chartered Yacht Scuba Doo 50. Had an amazing week with food out of this world . The Captain and Chef Ya Ya are very attentive of all our needs and made our sail the best . Highly recommend the experience.
-Paul

Kris and Aneta,
We just wanted to tell you both Thank you for taking such excellent care of our family this week! We all accomplished getting Ellen in the water for 6 dives! The captains cocktail hour was fantastic-especially the Manhattans! All your suggestions were spot on. The Baths on Virgin Gorda were particularly a treat. Wreck of the Rhone and seeing Gillian with the baby turtle at Soggy Dollar and the shart at Whistling Cay were my highlights! Best of luck with your next adventures!
-The Burnhams

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you so much for showing our family a wonderful vacation. Our time on the Scuba Doo II was truly a wonderful vacation. You took the work out of planning and allowed us to enjoy ourselves and our time in the BVI’s. Thank you for showing us all the sights of the beautiful islands. The two of you make a wonderful team! We appreciate you both working non-stop to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. This was the trip of a lifetime and largely due to you. Best of luck in your future travels & marriage!

We wish you two the best!!! With lots of love, Adriana, Brian, Ana & Alex

One of the main reasons for our trip was to make memories with our family, especially the kids. We can’t say thank you enough for everything the two of you have done. The food was the “Best Ever” every time! Each spot we stopped at was beautiful. And the dives were amazing. Most of all we will never forget this trip. Our kids will never forget this trip. You are an amazing part of their memories and we can’t thank you enough! Good luck in all your future endeavors and good luck together!
- The Kirwans

Thank you so much for making this trip one our family will never forget! We feel so lucky to have experienced it with a sweet couple like you! Thank you for accommodating us so that we could see our friends and for showing us all around the BVI! We truly appreciate you both letting us ask ALL the questions! Aneta, your food is incredible. You were able to make delicious meals for adults as well as for the kids - which isn't easy. And the shark cake for Remy’s birthday was a hit! We will definitely be returning - maybe we will see you again!
- Rhett, Caroline, Remy & Mac

Kris & Aneta ,
Thank you so much for an amazing trip in the BVI’s. We have visited and seen many fantastic spots around the several islands in the BVI and they were just as spectacular as we hoped. Sailing in the BVI really lives up to the hype.

You guys are the friendliest people and crew and we have really enjoyed spending this week with you. The food on the boat has been outstanding. We are amazed by the meals you guys have prepared in that small kitchen - and all homemade!!! So good!

Thank you again for an amazing adventure and one that we will never forget. Good luck with everything, you guys deserve the best.
Love from Norway - Linda, Kristine, Steiner, Stian & Filip

Dear Aneta & Kris,
Thank you both for an amazing experience in the BVI’s! We were celebrating my husband's retirement and my youngest son’s 25th Birthday and could not have picked a better location and boat! We visited so many beautiful islands and had many happy hours at the many island bars. The food on the boat was amazing, we had restaurant quality (even better!) for breakfast, lunch & dinner! We were amazed how they cooked all the homemade food on the boat! We will never forget our adventure and plan on returning.
It was the Vacation of a lifetime! Love to you both and we hope to see you in the future.
Ray & Donna

We had incredible stay on ScubaDoo and enjoyed a sinful week of absolute relaxation. If you are a fan of incredible food, non-stop drinks, wonderful music, constant snorkeling in the azure waters of the Caribbean, and wonderful hosts, then Scuba-Doo is your thing. Anetta and Kris were absolutely wonderful taking care of our food requests without missing a beat. The boat is special with everything you will ever want on a floating boutique hotel.
Looking forward to coming back soon.

Sincerely,
Eric and Charlene

Aneta & Kris

I just wanted to let you guys know you made our holiday truly amazing. From the moment we boarded Scuba Doo we felt very at home aboard. Karen loved her introduction to scuba diving, she felt safe and enjoyed seeing a whole new world. The boat was spectacular, everyone loved it. The only complaint we both had is 9 days is definitely not enough time. Your hospitality was second to none.

Thanks for the best sail ever we hope to be back on board Scuba Doo soon.

Karen & Paul

Dear Aneta & Kris, you guys have made our family feel right at home. Your warmth, knowledge, care, food, diving skill and flexibility have treated our family to a journey we will never forget! It was wonderful getting 4 of us PADI Dive Certified on this vacation! - Eric

The Family has has an amazing, 8-day, 3-generation adventure aboard the Scuba Doo with Kris and Aneta. Thank you both for making this family vacation truly magical. The meals were beyond delicious. The specialty drinks arrived at exactly the right time. The pacing of each day met the mood of the group. Six Fantastic Dives! Quiet, calm moorings. The days and evenings unfolded with ease and each seemed better than the one before. Thank you for all that you did to make this such a wonderful trip! - Dee & Christina (Charlotte, NC)

What an incredible Christmas vacation! You both truly made this a wonderful week. Beyond grateful for the gluten/dairy free delicacies and options, the adventurous watersport activities & dives, the sails in the sun with the views that could have been paintings, and everything you both did behind the scenes to make it happen. Thank you so much!!
Love, Clayton, Alexanne & Whitney

Kris & Aneta,
We can't thank you enough for an amazing week! You both have such a great confidence about you which made us feel safe and incredibly well-cared for. Not really knowing what to expect, you put together an itinerary that allowed us to experience so many beautiful aspects of the BVI's. Aneta, you have inspired me to take cooking lessons and expand my cooking scope because your food was incredible! Thank you for exceeding our expectations, and making a lifelong bucket list goal reality! We wish you both much love and happiness!
- Gail, Tom, Abbey, Elise, Sam & JM

Thank you for an incredible experience aboard the Scuba Doo Yacht Charter! From the moment we set sail, Kris & Aneta’s warmth and hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that made our USVI trip unforgettable.

They went above and beyond in all aspects of the trip, from recommending the best snorkelling & dive spots to finding the perfect mooring ball in the cove for us to spend the night. The attention to detail and care they put into everything they do was greatly appreciated!

Aneta prepared delicious and beautifully plated meals & desserts for us each day - accompanied by the ocean breeze, you can’t beat it! Also, a must do on Scuba Doo was setting up the floating dock to enjoy the sunsets while sipping on some of Kris's signature Painkiller cocktails!

And finally, I had the opportunity to complete my Open Water Dive certification course with Kris. He was an amazing instructor, ensuring I felt safe and showed us some of USVI’s best dive sites. We saw a ship wreck, lots of fish, turtles, stingrays, and a nurse shark!

Thank you both again for an amazing trip!
- Nick



We have just returned from a tremendously memorable trip to USVI with Scuba Doo! Kris and Aneta were the most welcoming crew and they had pampered us with delicious food, drinks, and activities. We had always woken up to the fragrant smell of breakfast. You could expect freshly baked waffles or cinnamon buns on the table waiting for you. Kris took us around different parts of the islands and we had the opportunity to see all sorts of sea life as well as landscapes. As a Jack of all trades, he could be a Captain, a chef, and a fisherman. He caught a black fin tuna on our trip and fed us the best grilled tuna steak for dinner. He also made sure we had a worry-free trip as he worked tirelessly around the boat to ensure all parts of the boat are well maintained. There was not a part of the trip I did not thoroughly enjoy and call it once in a lifetime experience. A hundred percent recommend Scuba Doo for your next family vacation!

-Tina

It's been a week since our BVI catamaran vacation aboard the Scuba Doo. The vacation high is over, and I finally have time to relay our thoughts. As soon as we three couples boarded Scuba Doo, we knew it was going to be an epic week. Several of us had previously been on a catamaran in the BVI two other times through other companies. We knew what to expect, and what we preferred to do...or so we thought.
Kris and Aneta - WOW - you two were beyond amazing! Your attention to detail, sharing of stories and finding new places for us to explore exceeded our expectations. We had just enough activities and relaxation times to please the entire group. Snorkeling and floating at the Caves and Indians and also at two coves new to us was perfect. The two divers of the group were able to get their fill of diving without interfering with the rest of the group plans. "Bubbles Up!" Kris was also patient and attentive when one of us went on a discovery dive for the first time. Aneta and Kris also know their way around the kitchen! We did not go hungry and thoroughly enjoyed all the meals, and treats in the 'Dome of Yum'. Our highlights are The Baths, Conch Island Tour in Anegada and Saba Rock. Kris and Aneta were troopers for our White Party wine tasting dinner and Scuby Doo night. Oh the laughs!
Thank you for a truly magical week!

-Vicki

What an amazing week!! Words cannot express how perfect this trip was. Kris and Aneta, you are rockstars! Thank you! - Mike

Kris & Aneta, Thank you for a wonderful week! We made some great memories with you; Scuba diving, the Baths, conch island, Scooby Doo party, all the delicious food (especially the crab cakes and all the desserts!) and the time you took for our conversations. We wish you much success and safety on this third season. Please know we have enjoyed all of your attention to detail. You two are AWESOME! Go Chiefs! - Jeff & Sheryl

Kris & Aneta - you two are amazing both inside and out. Your children will be hearing of your adventures and the guests who's lives you made happy beyond words! You two have perfected your trade! We love you, Bike & Lisa
Ps. Best desserts ever xx

Thank you Aneta & Kris for an amazing vacation and charter we'll never forget! The diving was beyond words from the night dive to the lobsters amd so much more. The food was so delicious and I hope to cook as well as you back home. We loved playing in the water and getting to learn about the islands and sailing on the bridge. We hope to come back again because you guys are so great! Thank you so so much for making this charter so magical.
The Richards Family

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for an amazing honeymoon/family vacation excursion in the USVI/BVI's. The diving & dining experience was absolutely top notch. This was Sonya & Kings first catamaran trip and we definitely want to do this again - and hopefully with you as our crew! We appreciated the attention to detail, hospitality and friendly yet professional approach. We highly recommend Scuba Doo & crew to anyone wanting a beautiful holiday in the Caribbean!

Many, many thanks for an incredible trip through the BVI! The adventure itself was unforgettable but it was the food, drinks and service that took the experience to the next level! You two make an awesome team. Stay in touch and let us know if you are ever in socal! Then we can take you on a boat or two!
Love Whit

Great trip made awesome by the crew-Five Stars
-Steve

What an incredible way to spend my 40th Birthday!! you two made it fantastic!
-Ivan

Kris & Aneta,

You are the friendliest, most capable crew in the Caribbean ☺️ The food was amazing - not only the crazy amazing flavor - but how do you do that in that tiny kitchen?! Cocktail hour was always spot on. No one can agree on what was best, mojitos, Manhattans, passion fruit margaritas or bushwhackers.

How good was the 50th birthday celebration? Perfect! It is now the birthday by which all other birthdays will be measured. Where else can you get a champagne toast and a light up squid hat? Only on Scuba Doo.

Diving from the boat every day was a huge highlight. You found dive sites that were a great fit for our group and made it work with all the best island side trips. Your activity recommendations were on point!!! From hikes to dives to cocktails!

Thank you so much,
Russ, Susan, Dave, Shina, Noel, John & Ramsey

Aneta & Kris,
Thank you for a beautiful and memorable adventure! This was a once in a lifetime experience that we will remember forever. We are so thankful for the amount of thought places into the location and activities every single day. The hard work and amazing food could never be better. Speaking on Grace & Liam’s behalf, this trip gave them an insight on what hard work and kindness look like. Grace has always wanted to sail, but now more than ever she really wants to! Both of you have made us feel at home even in close quarters. Thank you again for an amazing week and fantastic Easter!
Fondly, Chris, Bridget, Grace & Liam

Aneta & Kris,

Words cannot express our gratitude for all you have done for us. Being our first time on an adventure such as this, we were not sure what to expect. The two of you made this trip truly extraordinary. As a family, we have been fortunate to have traveled to many places. This trip has certainly tanked at the top. You went above and beyond to ensure we got the most of our short time onboard. The experiences you provided; the unbelievable meals (and gluten free!), the sailing, the snorkeling & diving, the wake-boarding, all of it was truly the most memorable. We all so appreciate all your hard work. I am sure as Grace and Liam look back at their childhood, this trip will surely be a high point, if not the highest. With that Bridget & I are so thankful. We all wish both of you all the best in your future.

Sincerely & with tremendous gratitude,
Chris & Bridget

Kris & Aneta,
Another day in paradise! This was an incredible week and time went by way too quickly. I easily got used to the morning swim, endless snorkeling, and the most amazing food. The diving was rich with beautiful coral, fish, lobsters, turtles, and rays. We loved the peaceful sailing, made even more fantastic by the playful dolphin that visited us. The captains’ cocktails were a treat – from painkillers to espresso martinis.
You are both amazing at what you do! You were informative before the trip and your guidance during the trip made everyday filled with fun. Your energy and positivity is a joy to be around! We will miss your home in paradise and are left wanting more! Kiki’s 5th Pirate Birthday Party was the cutest!
This trip was absolutely amazing!
Thank you!

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for everything you did to make this week the best family vacation we have ever had! We are so grateful for your hospitality and for teaching our girls to snorkel and sail as well as tie knots! So many awesome memories!
Love, The Prevost Family

Best Family Trip – I cannot say enough about our excellent experience with Michelle Heyns of Epic Yacht Charters and our crew on the Scuba Doo, Perhaps the best all-around family trip we’ve taken! Booking the charter with Michelle was easy and seamless. She is knowlegable, available and held our hands through every step of the process. Highly recommend! Our family of five (my wife and I and three daughters, ages 15, 12, and 8) chartered Scuba Doo, a 50-foot catamaran, for a week in early March for our spring break. It was PERFECT. The captain Kris and the first mate/chef Aneta were all we could have hoped for. Kris is a top-notch captain and had everything under control on the boat at all times. He’s a skilled sailor and walked us through the plan for each day. He was very helpful with our daughters and skillfully guided them on/off the dinghy when we went ashore. Kris also made some great “captain cocktail” specials for happy hour for the whole family. Really was the ideal captain. Aneta is so thoughtful and somehow turns out gourmet fine-dining quality meals from that tiny little kitchen. Three wonderful meals each day, with great variety. Honestly, the meals were so good there was no reason to have lunch or dinner ashore. My wife and I are sort of “foodies” and we were highly impressed throughout the week. We did a mix of USVI and BVI, which was perfect. Something to do each day – or nothing to do if you prefer! Island adventures, snorkeling, beach days or just cruising. Overall, our week on Scuba Doo with Kris and Aneta was probably the best family trip we’ve had. We very much hope we’ll be able to book with them again!

Kris & Aneta,

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for being the best ever! The drinks and food were always delicious. (I even tried new food!) Hope to see you guys soon!
– Teryn & Adam

Kris, Aneta & Scuba Doo,
You helped us create everlasting memories that we will cherish for a lifetime and beyond. Thank you for everything you did for us as well as keeping us safe. There are too many memories to count so the pictures will have to do. Thank you again for everything and we will stay in touch!
-Becky

Thank you for being so amazing to me this whole trip the food was so amazing and snorkeling, tubing and paddle boarding were fun. Thanks for a very memorable vacation!
-Cecilia

Thank you for everything! The food was always amazing! All the new things I’ve tried have been so cool! Thank you for such a memorable vacation!
– Kami

Aneta & Kris,
We can’t thank you enough for such an amazing week aboard. From the briefing (three squares) to the beautiful islands you took us to, the diving, the sailing, the hiking (Patty will always remember the hike! Lol) And of course the fantastic meals, but most of all we will always remember your incredible hospitality! You made us feel like guests in your home not like customers. We will remember this trip forever.
Thank you so much,
Keith & Patty

I booked Scuba Doo with Captain Kris and Chef Aneta for my girlfriend and me to get some scuba diving in and to show my girlfriend the BVI.  Kris and Chef were amazing and by the time the trip was over, I believe that I can count them as friends.  The food Aneta made was delicious and Kris was a great dive master/instructor as well as a superb bartender.  Kris and Aneta even went above and beyond to fulfill a special beach bonfire evening that I requested.  You and I both know that the success of a charter is greatly dependent upon the crew of the charter, and I can say this trip was extremely successful!!
Everyone has written about Aneta’s meals and Kris’s Activities and while all that applies, the richness of spending 7 nights 8 days with them was priceless and beyond delightful! It was our pleasure to get to know you both more than just “crew.” You two are rich beyond your understanding and my prayer is that you cultivate that so you can continue to spread your joy with others!
Love you guys!
Keith & Jessica

Aneta & Kris,
Thank you for the most fantastic week! It was the perfect way to kidnap my family and create once in a lifetime memories. The meals were delicious. I am amazed by the food Aneta poofs out of the small corner kitchen – small but mighty! The activities while onboard were pletiful, some lazy & some active – the perfect balance for us. On that note, thank you for resurrecting my scuba career! 25 years dormant!! I will cherish the map and recall each amazing detail when I look at it. This trip has been a dream of mine for years – the reality was even better than I dreamed.
Special thanks to the patience with late rising teenagers, accommodating picky eaters, being Cowboy fans!! and being able to stream the game! Setting up a special birthday celebration and of course for finding fireworks on New Year's Eve.
Thank you!
The Daleo Family

Kris & Aneta,
First off lets talk about how amazing the food was!! Aneta, you never failed to amaze us with every single meal! Right when we got here everyone fell in love with the charcuterie wraps to the awesome sous vide turkey dinner! Wishing you and your amazing cooking skills could come home with us. 😊
Thank you for all the awesome adventures we got to experience. Some of our favorites were the baths and snorkeling around Waterlemon! Soggy Dollar and Willy T’s is a definite YES!
Thank you for making this such an awesome trip and fun experience. This is definitely one for the books! Y’all are fantastic!
Love the Corsmeiers,

Captain Kris and Anetta were fantastic on all aspects. The boat was amazing - super-comfortable and we’ll-equipped. I loved the layout of the salon, with the u-shaped sofa and middle console. We had all meals out on the deck - never really used the salon but I liked the open floor plan that made it seem more spacious. All of our rooms were comfortable with good mattresses and nice, efficient bathrooms.

The food was delicious - and it wasn’t easy with our dietary preferences and restrictions. All meals were delicious and well-presented. Anetta did a great job making Maddie’s meals replicate ours but vegan. And she even baked a chocolate birthday cake for Lauren (along with presenting her with an bottle of champagne and a map of the BVI with our journey charted on it). So thoughtful. Kris and Anetta joined us for dinner at Saba Rock one evening and it was much fun.

We snorkeled a ton - saw some sea turtles, sting rays, lots of amazing fish, including a few barracuda, awesome coral. Kris helped a fisherman rescue an Eagle ray from his net that Jay and Maddie found while kayaking - a happy ending to a potential for a bad outcome.

We hit great beaches and some of our top must-sees - Norman Island, Willy T’s (where Jay became somewhat famous for doing about 8 backflips from the top deck - people we saw at other islands said “Hey, you’re the backflip dude!”) the Baths, Cooper Island, the bubbly pools, the North Sound, and Caneel Bay.

It was an amazing week and something we will all remember for a very long time. Thank you for everything you did to make it happen and make it amazing.

Kris & Aneta,

We had an amazing charter with you through the BVI! This trip was our familys first trip together in 7 years! We really enjoyed the entire trip but daily highlights include: St. John – snorkeling with the turtles! Jay becoming famous at Willy T’s for his backflips, (#backflipboy #willytsbackflipboy). Kris rescuing an eagle ray from the fisherman’s net – good karma for that! Thank you again for orchestrating such a beautiful birthday celebration for Lauren (24!). Aneta is an amazing chef – every meal was a standout! We especially loved the Jerk Caribbean Chicken, Sesame Tuna, and Snapper! Eggs Benedict, Taco Tuesday and the banana pancakes were also a hit.

Thank you so much for the best trip ever!!!
Jodi, Russel, Jay, Maddie, Lauren & Christian

Kris & Aneta,

Each day was an Adventure – a balm for the soul and an exercise in practicing daily gratitude. You guys make an incredible team! Not only were we well taken care of but we were fed like kings. We are forever changed by this trip. It’s a rare thing these days to stop and disconnect from the fast-paced world we live in and spend real quality time with friends and family. We are glad you were part of this. We will go home a little braver, a little wiser and a lot more grateful!

Here’s to the next adventure!
The Koehler’s


Kris & Aneta,

After nearly 30 years of putting world and other people first I cannot express what a privilege and joy it was to feel so well taken care of. This whole trip was like a warm blanket (safe & cozy) but a heck of a lot more fun! The sea is most definitely our “happy place” and your hard work and attention to detail really supercharged that experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving out family and experience we will forever remember and be grateful for.

Jenna, Cisco & Chris (“The Beard”)

Kris & Aneta!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. Your attention to details exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making it sooo special. Best of wishes for your future and keep on rocking “Great Adventures” you guys!! Not enough adjectives to describe the AMAZING food! 5 Stars!! (Maybe even a Michelin!)

Kris & Aneta,
This is truly one of our favorite vacations! We love being on a boat (where Tom truly smiles ear to ear the whole time!) The food has been over the top – now back to eating cheerios at home. We will keep in touch and please let us know if you are ever in the Boston area so that we can try to reciprocate.

Kris & Aneta,

What can we say that hasn’t been said already? It was pure perfection from start to finish. You gave us an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you again, Fair Winds and Following Seas! – Dana, Mike & Dave

Unforgettable 40th Birthday. Not since the water birth of my kids have I had such joy. Not even a spider man marathon could top this. You’ve helped us find the new adventure of scuba, which we hope to continue safely by practicing the DON’T, THINK! method. We hope your adventure continues with all “YES’s” and few “no’s” and may your darts always find the bullseye.

Your “WHO-DEY” Crew – Dana, Dave & Mike

Aneta & Kris,
We are so appreciative of all the effort you guys put into making our trip simply superlative. The food/cocktails/captainry and most of all camaraderie were all wonderful. We will always remember this trip as just THE BEST.

Kris & Aneta,
Words cannot describe how amazing this trip was. Hearing all of your amazing stories was so interesting. You both are such a great duo. This has been some of the best food I have had – filled with unique combinations and even better taste! Diving was spectacular and thank you for getting me out of my fear of the ocean. There is no doubt in my mind you will continue to kill this forever. Let’s go BOYS (cowboys), Lions (probably never) and Stafford.
From your craziest football fan and much love.

What a remarkable journey!!! Your culinary skills are out surpassed & thank you for making everything whole grain and healthy. Your sail/navigation/Captain & first mate skills were fantastic and we enjoyed every ride. Kris, what an amazing divemaster. We felt very safe with you & lived your guidance throughout our tour of the sea and its creatures. Thanks for the exciting football games, although I realize these were not under your control. Thanks for advice and friendship. Please look us up when you are in NYC and we can have a mixology party!!!
With much gratitude,

The crew was great! This is usually what can make or break a charter. Both Kris and Aneta were very attentive, great cooks, and professional about their roles. They really upped the game compared to my previous charter experience. Kris also dives which was a big plus.We all had a wonderful time on this cruise. Great food and memories.

Infinite Thanks

Thank you, Thank you, thank you! Our week with you on Scuba Doo exceeded all our expectations and created so many family memories! The snorkeling, sailing, Food, and hiking were all amazing. We hope to come back and hope our paths will cross with the two of you again! 🙂
Thank you
-Katie

Cammi and Charlie,
Thank you so much for a phenomenal week!
We had an amazing time. Seriously the best cooking I have ever had. Before this trip I would not have said I was a bona fide ocean explorer, but Charlie's snorkeling passion was infectious, and now I would call myself a snorkeling super fan. You guys are the best! Wishing you the best in your adventures and eventual dog ownership.
-Savannah

Cammi and Charlie,
They say that the most valuable asset you can acquire is not tangible things but lifelong memories. As you can see from the above, you have given our family just that. Memories that will last a lifetime. For that we thank you so much-it was an amazing week!!!
-Your explorers

Cammi and Charlie,
First of all, "Thank you" will never be able to describe how grateful our entire group is for this pas week. With that being said... THANK YOU!!

Cammi,
Your work ethic and desire to make everything perfect is incredible. Every meal was incredible-delicious, beautiful, filling, awesome! The running joke is that we were never hungry on this trip. We probably ate less this week than we normally do and that was because every meal was perfect. You were also patient, flexible, and understanding with us.
Thank you!!

Charlie,
You are the man! You taught us more about boats, sailing, snorkeling, diving, and reef/sea creatures than we could ever learn in a lifetime. We also asked more questions than we could in a lifetime and you answered every one. I'm still not sure when you were bullshitting us... so I'm going to go with the fact that you just know way to much. thank you for putting up with our shenanigans.
Thank you!!

We had the most amazing time on Scuba Doo. Thank you Charlie for the great snorkeling and smooth sailing. Cammi you did an outstanding job of providing us with the most delicious meals. You both did so much we really appreciated it. We all loved our week aboard Scuba Doo!
Thanks for making this a memorable experience.
Love,
The Greers

Thank you guys for such an incredible week! You ll are the best. I can't express how much fun this trip has been. Cammi and Charlie are "Rockstars!" C an C now how to entertain a group of 8. This experience has been one I will remember forever. Thank you, Scuba Doo Crew!!

Thanks so much for your hard work.
-Sam

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you both for an amazing week! You are a fantastic team and made the week pass by in a blink. It is incredible how a trip can be so fully relaxing and so action packed. We loved every bit-snorkeling swimming, hiking, lobstering, fishing, playing on the water toys, and of course the sailing. Your shared joy of sailing was a pleasure to watch. And then, of course, was Cammi's cooking. We loved every single thing you put on the table.
Perhaps best of all was getting to know you guys a little bit. We loved Charlie's quiet confidence and stoicism. You are a true professional and all around cool guy. And Cammi you have such a warm and engaging personality with the most infectious and joyous laugh. We loved hearing about your unique background and life experience.
Our trip had been delayed 2 years due to covid but alas you made it worth the wait. We are so thankful for an amazing week on the boat with you.
-Brian and Kristin

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you both for a wonderful trip! IT far exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible... the snorkeling, sailing, and hiking were so much fun. The experiences this week would not have been the same caliber with both of you. Your generous spirits and hard work made it all look easy. Thankful for sharing a piece of your world with us.
Until we see you again

Dear Miss Cammi and Captain Charlie
I had an amazing time with you guys. The food was amazing, and scuba diving was awesome. Hangin out with everybody made me feel peaceful.

Miss Cammi,
You made me feel like a younger sister. I had so much time to be you mini chef, and I had so much fun. I loved my hair after you braided it, and going to the beach and learning how to do one handed cartwheels was a big thing on my to do list. I will tell you when I could do it.

Captain Charlie,
I loved seeing you play with Sho. The look on his face, showed you knew your pokémon. Next up Sho champion.

With all Love Kaili (11) and Sho (5)

Dear Cammi and Charlie,
How can we begin to say thank you for the millions of little things you did to make out vacation truly memorable! Cammi, I am Italian and my love language is food and service. I see your beautiful heart in all the you do everyday. You are like a ninja, making beds (or remaking beds as I always tried, but failed miserably for a week to make our bed) while we weren't looking. Your food was made with love every single day. Thank you for sharing all your talents and your kind and beautiful heart with us.
Charlie, Thank you for being game for pretty much anything at anytime. You are gentle and fearless. You showed us so many things and were always up for the game.
This was a week full of rest, relaxation, and also adventure. I just didn't know it was possible to put all of that into a single trip. Thank you both for taking care of us with so much love and care. We will share stones of this week with our grandchildren. You firmly imprinted in our memories and we are forever grateful for the experience.
-With love and gratitude
Kate

Cammi and Charlie,
You exceeded our expectations the moment we stepped on the boat. Thank you for the greatest vacation I have ever taken! Thank you for listening to our 10,000 questions! Best of luck in all future journeys.
Cheers
Paul

Cammi and Charlie,
When we set out on out island adventure I knew we would be treated to a relaxing sail in a beautiful setting. What I could not have known is that we would be treated to spectacular cuisine, lovingly prepared at each and every breakfast, lunch, and dinner and snack break. I could not have known we would be treated to a captain who would also serve as our patient, creative, and knowledgable guide to the islands who would whisk us to the hidden gems, such as the ideal snorkeling and diving spots, that would make our trip truly special. Spending a week with your senses of humor, attention to detail, adventurous spirit, and steady hands truly took our vacation to a different level. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime and best of luck to you both.
Cheers,
Johnathon

Cammi and Charlie,
Thank you for a memorable week of delicious food, fantastic service, and company! We enjoyed every minute, and it was in no small part due to your attention to detail! You two are the absolute best. Good luck in the rest of your season! We're jealous of your future guests.
All the best

Cammi and Charlie
We can't remember a time in recent years where everything was taken care of for us-hard to do, but very relaxing-just what we needed!
Your food was amazing-especially the sea bass, avocado toast with poached eggs, and those blueberry scones :). If you ever find yourself tired of this beautiful Caribbean weather and scenery, you have a baking job at the Spot on Main!
Charlie thanks for making snorkeling enjoyable and our dinghy rides fun!

Charlie and Cammi,
What a fantastic week! Thank you for everything. We sailed around Saint John and a couple of coves on Saint Thomas. We started the week pretty timid about the water and ended with lots of growth. Ava and Ian went snorkeling at every stop seeing a nurse shark, reef shark, sting rays, a squid, and lots of fish. The nights where the underwater lights were allowed lit up large tarpin and smaller fish. Megans Bay and Christmas Cove were our favorites. Megans because of the beautiful yachts and night lights and Christmas Cove for the snorkeling and pizza boat. Charlie's knowledge of all things sailing and Cammi's amazing cooking were definite highlights making for a fun, relaxing vacation.
Thank you for everything you both made our family vacay unforgettable!

Chef Cammi and Cptn Charlie,
"The trip of a lifetime." You made everything so special-the food was amazing, the places we visited were so special. You knew the history which made it so interesting. This time spent with my children and grandchildren is something I will cherish always. God bless you!
-Judy

Cammi and Charlie,
Thanks so much for all you did for our family this week. This is the best trip I have ever taken and it wouldn't have been half of that without you all. You are the best at what you do. Thanks again for the best week.

C and C,
This has been a perfect week! Thank you for your hospitality. Food and sailing were amazing. Top Notch!
I can honestly say this is the most relaxed, serene, and tranquil vacation I have ever had. Connecting with the sea and the beauty it has to offer will stay with me forever. I wish I could bottle up the calm and peace. I will definitely be back to these waters someday. Hopefully sooner than later!
Safe sailing to both of you:)
Love Jenny

Cammi and Charlie,
So grateful for the amazing week in the sunshine. So thankful for this last family trip together. I wish you safe travels and hope you get back to Rhode Island soon.
Love Kim

Cammi and Charlie,
Amazing experience. Thank you so much for making this such an enjoyable vacay. Weather was great. Food was outstanding. We certainly will book to do this again most likely with the kids.
Classic response to my question about the Don Julio- Yea Boy!
Charlie, thanks for navigating this vessel and guiding this vessel and guiding us on the snorkeling. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
-Rob and Melissa

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you so much for an amazing trip! The diving was good, snorkeling was great, and the food and drinks were amazing. This is definitely a trip we will repeat largely due to how great you two were. Thanks again for an amazing and relaxing trip that will not be easily forgotten.
-Michael and Laura

Cammi and Charlie,
This has been an amazing week. Every meal was amazing. Favorites were the scallops and sea bass. We also enjoyed the afternoon cocktails, especially the strawberry-rasberry-basil frozen concoction. Thank y'all for leading us to the best snorkel spots and hikes. The two of y'all worked so well together to provide the best experience for us as guests. Your work ethics and personalities are top notch. Best of luck for all your future ventures. Thank you so much!
-Leslie and David

Cammi and Charlie
We had a memorable and wonderful 30th Anniversary! You both are the most attentive and thoughtful hosts. The food and activities and leisure all took place effortlessly for us and we know it's all due to your skills and hardwork. We wish you all the best as you will succeed in whatever you do for sure. We hope to cross paths again some day! Fair winds and following seas, as they say.
All the best with warmness
Mike and Katy

Charlie and Cammi,
We can not express what a wonderful time we had on the Scuba Doo! Cammi greeting us with prosecco and shirley temples as we boarded the boat. I can't explain how delish every meal was. We had such a wonderful snorkeling and scuba adventures with Capt. Charlie. Both of you were so knowledgable of all our mooring and anchoring spots! You guys have been amazing to us and our children! This vacation is definitely one of our favorites that we will never forget!
Love,
Anthony, Julianna, Christian, Brianne, Angelina, and Anthony

Cammie and Charlie,
We had such an amazing week on Scuba Doo. Your talents in cooking, your knowledge of the ocean and the islands, and you amazing hospitality made it a truly memorable vacation for Steve and I and our group. I can't wait to sail again with you one day. All the best in life to you and Charlie.
Love Nikki and Steve

Cammi and Charlie- The beauty and confort of Scuba Doo is only exceeded by the two of you. This trip has exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a huge part of our weekend helping me navigate the proposal. Food on board was sensational. Really "5" star all weekend!

-Dan and Sue xo

Captain Charlie and Cammi - What a great week it's been on Scuba Doo! Thank you for going above and beyond to make this a special week for us, especially the kids. We've made so many special memories that will always make me smile. The rocky trip to St Croix, swimming with the turtles, the beach day at Scott's beach, the tarpon at night, the day at Buck Island - too many fun days to pick a favorite. And the food was a huge hit - you definitely spoiled us. Thanks again for making this family vacation one we will never forget!
Michelle

Great times!!! Can't begin to pick my favorite day - they were all so awesome. I'll always remember the beautiful sights, incredible breeze, taking the helm on the sail back from St Croix, the music, kids laughing gnips, superpowers and great meals to name few. The kids had an experience that will last their lifetime. Hopefully this was the first of many more like it! Thanks for helping us pull off the surprise and great reveal!! Remember to cherish the journey, experiences and memories that come from them!
Jason

Charlie and Cammi,

From the moment we boarded our family shared memories and laughs together snorkeling, night swimming, scuba, hiking and much more. We were hosted and treated be you in a way that make this a first class experience - from the cuisine to the mountain rescue mission during the storms at Caneel Bay. These memories will last a lifetime. You made it truly special.
Thank You,
Joel

This is my favorite vacation! Relaxing and adventure rolled into one - our family meals were priceless. The time spent with our children during the trip will be remembered forever. Thank you!
Kayla

Excellent trip!! Charlie and Cammi are the best. Inspired me to involve myself in boating more.
Steve

Cammi and Charlie,

Thank you for your guidance and expertise throughout this trip, it truly pushed this trip from great to excellent. The presentation and quality of the food really stood out and will be misses dearly at home! This has been such an amazing week!

All the best to you!
Ron

You too are absolutely awesome in every way. Meals were amazing! Smiles and laughter abundant. Thanks for everything.
All the Best, Michael

The subbing was so unexpected and fun! I really appreciate you making homemade biscoff cookies!
Conrad

Thank you Cammi and Charlie for making this trip everything we hoped for and more! We needed this trip to escape a very long covid winter in New England. So many fun snorkel and scuba stops. Loved the afternoon walks.
Cheers, Jane

Thank you for everything you did! I had no idea about the history of the sugar industry here, and loved the walk that we did to visit them. The diving and food were amazing. It was the perfect escape from a New England winter.
All the best, Helen

SPRINK BREAK!!

The Scuba Doo and its crew Captain Charlie and trust mate and excellent chef Cammi, made for a top notch vacation! We circumnavigated St John ~ Hiking, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, reading, snoozing, paddle boarding and drinking and eating while we were spoiled by Cammie and Charlie. Highlights included snorkeling with turtles, swam with a nurse shark, hiking to the sugar mills and to the top of the mountain overlooking Caneel Bay....and the grand finale of a day on the beach at Caneel. Our family and our friends spent much needed quality time together, which is truly the best gift of all. We hope to return again aboard the Scuba Doo! And we will be back to St John, one of our favorite places on earth. THANK YOU Charlie and Cammi!!! Come visit us in Charleston!

Jen, Ted, Emmett and Sammy

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you for all of your hard work and incredible hospitality aboard Scuba Doo this week. You made our first charter experience unforgettable. We are especially grateful for your part in helping to set up our (successful :)) engagement proposal.
Blessing and safe passages to you both!
-Chuck and Lyrette

Cammis and Charlie,
Thank you so much for a wonderful week in the USVI! You are a great couple and your warmth and love for each other spread to all of us. The food was exceptional, the sailing divine! Best wishes to you in your future plans and we hope we cross paths with you again.

Awesome week! Thanks for everything. You both exceeded expiations at every turn. Really enjoyed meeting both of you and the week was outstanding. Food was amazing sailing and stops were incredible. You're a great team and we appreciate the care you took to make our trip memorable.
Steve and Krystal

Charlie and Cammi,

We can never thank ya'll enough for a truly amazing first charter experience. We feel blessed with the opportunity to get to know you, if even for a short time. You both have a love for God's beautiful world and we enjoyed you sharing your knowledge with us. Blessings and many thanks!

-Andy & Julie

Charlie and Cammi,

I don't really know where to start or what to say other than THANK YOU a million time over for the absolute best week we've ever had. From the amazing food to the "slight tug" getting us out of our comfort zone (some of us anyway lol ) You both are the best! We can't wait to do this again.

Till we meet again XOXO
Jason & Crystal

We could not have asked for a more perfet adventure. Everything from Hog Heaven (what a view!), Scrub Island massages and especially to us getting to Anegada (which was beyond special and a fantastic day and night), it all worked out so seamlessly. We also felt so accomplished finally pronouncing Henru’s name right by the end of the week. Your hospitality was extraordinary, somehow you always knew what we needed even before we did. We were all floored by Clara’s thoughtful, healthy and creative meals. Smoothies for EVERY breakfast!! We were made to feel right at home by Clara and Henru throughout our voyage which is not an easy task given the close quarters for 7 days. Sitting with Henru at the helm, along with Clara, between our destinations was such a relaxing experience. His patience and knowledge of boating always made us feel secure. Top notch trip all the way around. A trip that we will always remember with smiles and laughter,

Until next time,

February 2026 BVI Charter

Henru & Clara,

We’ve been waiting years to make a vacation like this happen, and we feel so lucky that it was with you and On a Whim!!!

This experience exceeded all expectations and left us with lifelong memories — including our visit to The Baths and the adventurous swim in and out, floats in the tube with delicious cocktails, and making the most of the weather conditions (we loved our lunch at Hog Heaven!).

Of course, the AMAZING food we had while on board! Thank you again for making this exceed our highest expectations and for leaving us wanting to come back to explore even more — hopefully with you once again!

With gratitude,

Lana & Chris

January 2026 BVI Charter

Thank you so very much for the best week ever! I wouldn't change one single moment. I am so appreciative of all of your hard work. We felt so comfortable the moment we stepped onto the boat. You two are amazing and will always have a special place in our hearts. It was a joy to meet you!
With gratitude

Henru and Clara
Where to begin! this has been the vacation of a lifetime and that is truly because of Henru and Clara! They went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful vacation! Henru is an incredible captain and we felt so safe. Clara's meals were all amazing and better than any restaurants we went to. Our group looked so forward to Clara's meals. Even her snacks were out of this world. As I write this on my last evening, I am feeling so blessed to have met these two very special. We had such an amazing week with these two that we will request them on our future vacations.
Thank you
Dan and Kate

Henru, Clara, and On A Whim III,
Thank you guys for the trip of a lifetime!!
This vacation exceeded all of our expectations, and truly it was all due to both of you. Clara whips of meals that are better than any Michelin Star restaurant! Henru organized the itinerary of our dreams and was an outstanding captain, better than any captain we would have hoped for. Thank you for making this a truly special and unforgettable week!

Henru and Clara,
From the first 5 minutes with you both we felt at ease. The one week trip was beautiful, relaxing, and a special time to catch up with old friends. Starting our morning everyday with a pleasant "good morning" and gourmet food was amazing. We don't know how you both get so much done and do it with a smile on your face. This has been a trip Andy, wanted to do for years and it exceeded our expectations in terms of service, beautiful weather, food and relaxation. We wish you the best in what is certainly to be a beautiful life together.
Sincerely,
Andy, Diane, Judy and Adrian
 

Christmas 2025 BIV Charter

Clara and Henru,
What and incredible week we had on On A Whim! Thank you for showing us the beauty of the BVI- this place is a very special slice of heaven. The two of you could not have been more wonderful. You were always attentive to our ever "whim" - whether it was equipping us for a snorkel adventure, setting us up for the perfect beach afternoon or nixing up the ideal drink to take in the sunset - Henru, you are and incredible captain! Clara - we are leaving this week bellies full and inspired to try new recipes in the kitchen! Thank you for the countless delicious meals. You were above and beyond! Until next time!

Deanna and I had a wonderful time sailing around the BVI with Captain Mike and Tessa. They were both so professional and courteous. Tessa's cooking (along with help from Mike was absolutely AWESOME! Very creative cuisine with great flavors and very fresh. We were well taken care of by Captain Mike and Tessa. We highly recommend them, they are AWESOME!

Mike and Tess made our BVI catamaran trip the experience of a lifetime. Captain Mike's deep local knowledge took us to the perfect anchorages at the perfect times - from the quiet coves to the party spots. He's skilled , calm, and made us feel safe and confident every step of the way. 

Tess is pure magic. Every meal was restaurant quality and beautifully presented, the boat was spotless, and her warmth set the tone for the entire trip. She anticipated every need before we even thought to ask. 
Wanderlust's gorgeous, spacious, comfy and neat. But its truly Mike and Tess who make this charter special! We arrived as guests and left as friends!

This trip was an amazing time with our family on an amazing boat with the most wonderful crew! Dean & Charne made the trip - the amazing meals, their grace, care for us and the boat and hospitality were just wonderful! We cannot thank them and feel spoiled by the entire experience.
We will never be able to replicate this terrific week but made the best memories here. The BVI are beautiful, the Wanderlust is a one of a kind boat & seeing it all with Dean & Charne catering and caring for us was truly an experience of a lifetime! A huge thanks to them both!

XOXO The Varnell family



I cannot thank you two enough for such an amazing opportunity to see amazing places with people who are becoming so close to me.
I was to see everything from a sea turtle to Michael Jordan. This will be a vacation I will never forget! 
(Please call us when you drop a cook book)
(Thank you Dean for helping me not freak out scubaing, it was an unforgettable experience)

Lilly

The most fantastic week in the BVIs - exceeded our expectations in every way. Dean & Charne went above and beyond from the moment we stepped aboard. They were so flexible with some bad weather and despite the busy Christmas season, made us feel like we were the only people at every stop. Charne’s cooking was top notch, every meal was 5 stars (please drop a recipe book). AND she taught us our new favorite card game. Dean’s knowledge of (l)ive(s) the islands and fish was also incredible and taught us so much. The boat became our home away from home - we can’t wait to come back and sail on the Wanderlust again soon. Thank you x a million for the most wonderful Christmas vacation.
Love, Cathy, Tim, Hilary, Caroline, Sam, Madison & Kyle
from North Carolina/South Carolina
P.S. Thank you for letting us watch the home alone!!

The biggest thank you to Captain Dean, Charne, and Wanderlust. From the moment we stepped aboard this wonderful catamaran. we were met by the most genuine souls. They are the perfect compliment to each other... providing exceptional service and experience to our family. This trip truly exceeded our greatest expectations and can't imagine there is a better crew than Dean and Charne. We wish them a lifetime of success, happiness, and adventure and hope our paths cross again for another incredible voyage.

Much love and appreciation 
Marco, Les, Ardan, and Graysen

This was one of the most relaxing weeks of vacation we’ve ever experienced.
Dean and Charne were wonderful right from the start as they listened to the preferences and wants of 6 people and then made it work, planning out the days, giving morning briefings every day at breakfast, providing detailed advice and expert insights for everything we did, and kept us safe, happy, and went out of their way to make sure we did not have to worry about anything. Dean was an expert on the BVIs and took care of all our activities – scuba, snorkeling, perfect anchorage, paddle boarding, and terrific cocktails.
Charne was our super chef – the food was so good at every well-planned and perfectly presented. And both Dean and Charne kept the boat beautifully organized, well-stocked, and made it feel like home. The boat is terrific and the BVIs beautiful, but the crew made it wonderful! The trip of a lifetime!
Love,
Jim, Kelly, Lisa, Michael, Eleanor + Bob

People often use the word “unforgettable” to describe underwhelming things. This trip truly deserves the title of “unforgettable”. To get into specifics would be futile; the most important thing is that Charne and Dean are the exact two humans required for a trip like this. Caring, intelligent, and wholesome. I will carry this trip with me for the rest of my life. Rest assured this catamaran charter won’t be my last, but it will always be the best.
With love,
José Antonio Galguera 

For us to make this trip was a little challenging, but I’m glad we came, this trip is one of the two best vacations we had in life; we enjoy this trip like no other, I would definitely do it AGAIN!!!! 
But let’s talk about Charne & Dean – this couple are the main complement to this trip to become beautifully unforgettable! For us, Charne is an amazing cook and sweet & nice to everyone, and Dean is the most reliable, responsible captain you can have, I hope we can all get together for another fantastic adventure. 
Love Ivon & José
 

This boat. Charne's cuisine. Dean's knowledge and expertise. That is what created such a magical experience for us here in the BVI. From lazy floating mornings in secret bays to snorkeling The Indians and The Caves, to beach bar shenanigans. We came as friends but leave as family and have those beautiful islands and the wildly impressive Wanderlust crew to thank for it all. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

-Ryanne and Michael

Our family has been dreaming of a trip to the BVI for years and we had high expectations! But thanks to Dean and Charne and our beautiful boat, it exceeded every expectation. The beauty of the area was breathtaking- and Dean was the best tour guide. He knew just where to go and every stop was so different. The kids loved snorkeling, sea scooters and fishing (despite their bad luck). 
The beauty of the BVI was only matched by the incredible meals from Charne - we couldn't pick a favorite, each was one of the best we have ever had! Big thanks to our bartender too! I could go on and on but just want to say thank you for providing our family with the trip of a lifetime!

The Head Family

It's going to be hard to go home without our crew! What a magical trip it has been! We enjoyed the best food and destinations with the best snorkeling we've ever done and gorgeous beaches. You both managed the kids energy -whether positive or negative energy so well. You both have such amazing spirits of kindness and patience and it really showed with the kids - thank you so much! the itinerary was the most perfect plan with plenty of chill time and breaks but also that feeling of such full days. This is by far our favorite family vacation we've ever taken and it's because of what you two created for us! We loved getting to know you both - we pray life blesses you both as you deserve the world. 
So much love
Venezia Fam

I fear one page will not do justice to the absolutely amazing week we shared on Wanderlust. Having never traveled to the BVI, we had no expectations of what our vacation would entail, and I am very thankful for that, as everyday brought new and exciting adventures. We swam, we sunned, snorkeled, paddled, scuba dived, jumped off boats, jumped off bars, we spent lazy afternoons in the most peaceful bays. We bar hopped from Soggy Dollar, Foxy's Saba Rock, Bitter End, Tipsy, and Wily T. We ate the most incredible meals (thank you Charne) and drank the most fantastic cocktails (thank you Dean). We had the privilege of getting to know how special Dean and Charne really are.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the trip of a lifetime!
-Kaye and Blythe

Thank you for the most unforgettable week! 
Dean and Charne are the absolute best crew! So friendly, and attentive to everything we wanted to do and see. Every meal was incredible! We could not pick a favorite because they were all amazing! They took us to perfect spots to snorkel, explore, search for turtles relax, oh and Willy T. I will leave the jumping to the younger ones next time - LOL. Thank you for your friendliness and hospitality this week! I can not believe it is time to say goodbye- So we want to say see you next time instead because we will be back! 
-Luke, Mackenzie, Betsy, and Jeff

There are no words to describe how meaningful this week was. We came to celebrate a 50th birthday and are retuning with memories that will be with us forever, a stronger family bond, and two new friends. 
Dean and Charne- thank you doesn't cover it. We've never experienced this level of hospitality. 
Dean- we appreciate your knowledge and thoughtfulness on matching what we wanted , with the perfect spots. 
Charne- the food was above and beyond. Most of all it was nice to get to know two incredible people. Come visit us in Bend, Oregon!!
We will be back. 
Love the Langers

It's our last day and I'm just so sad it's ending. Our group had an exceptional 10 days on board Wanderlust with Dean and Charne. They truly went above and beyond from the moment we stepped aboard. Dealing with 4 different personalities, they adapted flawlessly. 
Dean was incredibly knowledgable about the waters and the best spots to visit. He insured we felt safe and at ease. 
Charne provided us with absolutely excellent meals. Each meal was a culinary delight. The catamaran remained spotless and attention to detail was evident in everything they did. We feel so blessed to have had them as our crew!
-The Ericksons

Wow! Best Trip Ever!!
Dean and Charne were amazing hosts. They effortlessly went about making our holiday one we will never forget. From touring the many islands and finding perfect spots to spend the night and enjoy the sunsets. 
Dean took us on amazing dives and we saw more marine life than we ever imagined we would. Many thanks to both of you for making this such a spectacular trip of a lifetime!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-The Atmores

The boat and crew both exceeded our expectations, but the crew in particular was definitely the biggest factor in our overall positive experience given their exceptional service and attention to detail.
"he meals were well planned according to our group preferences. The presentation was exceptional. The portions were more than adequate. The food was of high quality.
The Las Family
 

What a way to ring in the 2025 New Year!

Our week on the Wanderlust (12/27-01/03) crewed by Dean and Charne, was an amazing journey. Great weather, turquoise waters, beautiful views, snorkeling/scuba adventures and other water activities, stops at “happening” bars but also evenings moored in quiet solitude. Oh, and yeah, we forgot—rum! And more rum! All this adds up to a wonderful adventure!!

But what really makes or breaks a charter like this is the crew. And Dean and Charne were absolutely terrific!! So nice, so attentive, and made our experience their priority. 

First, we gotta shout out to Charne and her delightful breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings. They were all just delicious and on a truly consistent basis. If you are reading this, you will be treated to a true culinary experience!

And Dean was just an excellent captain! He found all the right spots to be during a very crowded New Years week, suggested really fun “Olympic” and floatie jousting games, and was in full control of the boat for our safety and comfort and experience. 

We were so very lucky to cruise with Dean and Charne on the Wanderlust and you will be too!

Thank you Wanderlust and thank you Dean and Charne! Happy New Year and cheers!!

Richard, Katie, McCord and Preston; Savannah and Will 
 

Dean & Charne were absolutely amazing... such a sweet and happy couple. It was obvious that they really enjoy hosting the guests and making sure we had everything we needed. Dean was always on top of everything regarding the boat and seemed to anticipate anything that was needed. He is a great captain and we loved hearing about what adventures were in store for us each day. Charne was the most amazing chef and made sure we were well fed and happy! Each meal was better than the last! Her desserts were delicious, so we usually ate every last drop. And, she somehow managed to clean our cabins while we ate breakfast, so we always had clean cabins.

As someone who's usually at the ready with an entire arsenal of words to express my gratitude what can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times before? Suffice it to say that there amazing experiences in one's short time here in the earthly realm and then there are peak moments that simply redefine what it's like to achieve those stellar, pinnacle heights of wonder, joy, balance, exhilaration and complete relaxation all at the same time. Those extraordinary and total bliss moments when mind, body, and spirt combine to create what I like to call a "well being attack!" Nirvana! Every moment on board Wanderlust had us thinking "it can't get better than this! and then the universe says "Hold my Beer."

I'll leave with thousands of wonderous memories etched forever on my heart and the deepest gratitude for all these two lovely lights did to ensure we'd have the best experience in the BVI, Ever. A few highlights-the 5 star cuisine and magic created daily by chef Katie. Somebody needs to award this amazing young woman a Michelin Star. (I did figure out her secret ingredient after hours of close observation... it is love combined with sprinkles of magic. 
Shhh

Francois has somehow managed to accumulate quite the impressive list of talents and expertise in his 24 years on earth-Chief among them the ability to observe and deliver exactly what his lucky charter guests require seconds before they're even aware. Look up the word conscientious in the dictionary and there will be his image. Thanks to his observant, patient, intuitive demeanor I was able to put my aprehensions aside and experience one of the best dives ever after a 30 yr hiatus.

Both Katie and Francois possess skills above and beyond the usual checklist of the standard resume. Skills that can't be taught in any school, but exist only on an entirely different level. Suffice it to say-those attributes left me feeling nothing but extraordinary gratitude and blessed beyond measure!

I’m writing to share the amazing experience we had (6 total guests) on Wanderlust a few weeks ago. My husband and I have been on crewed charters 6 times now in the VI/BVI’s over the years (including other yachts in the Charter Caribe fleet) and have always had an amazing experience and have been very happy. However, this experience on Wanderlust was so far beyond wonderful that I seriously think we will be forever unable to find any other boat/crew that lives up to this one.

The Yacht: Wanderlust is beautifully appointed for luxury cruising and adventure. Elegance is evident everywhere-from the high end glassware and table settings, to the bedding, the décor, artwork and bar stock. She is equipped with a wide variety of water toys and high quality dive gear enough to keep any guest occupied with choices for ocean fun. Other wonderful extras include an ice maker, filtered water on demand, high end coffee/espresso maker and a custom fly bridge with tabled seating (generally only seen on larger cats). Did I mention the on-board air compressor to refill scuba tanks? The cleaning products and body wash/shampoos on board are environmentally friendly, the boat is meticulously clean and the entire boat has a soft fresh scent that kept everything feeling so fresh for the entire week.

The Crew: The crew on Wanderlust exceled so far beyond any other crew we’ve experienced in our time chartering. In all our other experiences there were areas of excellence that stood out on that particular trip as compared with others. And there were areas that were good, but not as good as other experiences. For example, when comparing the gourmet quality of food or skippering skills or divemaster skills etc., every crew we’ve experienced had significant strengths in some areas but not all areas. In the case of Wanderlust, I can confidently say that this is the only crew that exceeded expectations in every area. I have a hard time expressing everything I loved about Katie and Francois but I will try to briefly summarize here. 

Katie: It’s no wonder Katie has won so many awards for her cuisine. The beautiful presentation of each meal and the variety and quality of the ingredients was superb. Edible flowers, fruit and desserts gilded with gold leaf and many other fine touches graced each dish. The meals were as beautiful as they were delicious and rivaled the cuisine of a 5 star restaurant. I don’t think any restaurants in the islands could compete with Chef Katie’s food and presentation. We also appreciated the wine selection and how thoughtful each evening’s wine choice was for the meal served. Katie is a cheerful, wonderful conversationalist and absolutely loves preparing a good theme night, of which we enjoyed two while on board! So much fun!!!! 

Francois: what an absolute treasure of a captain and skilled skipper and divemaster! Francois is professional and super friendly. It’s clear he enjoys making each experience special and is able to pivot plans on a moment’s notice to optimize guest comfort, preferences and safety. As an example, we had several experienced scuba divers onboard who were interested in multiple dives but also had a large north swell that week. Navigating the need to find a dive site with good visibility for the divers and shelter from the swell for the non-diving guests was no doubt challenging but Francois checked all the boxes for us. I also want to note how skilled and professional he is as a divemaster and how well he assessed our skills as guest divers and lead us on some amazing adventures. I always felt very safe (and I have certainly experienced the opposite on charters) and the onboard dive equipment was meticulously maintained. Beyond this, Francois’ pride in maintaining and operating a top notch sailing yacht is evident in everything he does. He is always attentive to everyone on board, having the toys ready for use right away, drinks poured and to safety. We enjoyed spending many hours with Francois on the flybridge while underway sharing stories, sailing tips, learning more about yachting and the BVIs. Cap this off with his excellent bartending skills, generous local knowledge and his cheerful kindness and helpfulness and, well, what else could you ask for in a captain? 

As a team, Katie and Francois are an extremely talented crew and execute the thousands of details that make an experience special with professionalism and grace. They are very special.

I know I haven’t captured everything that made our week on Wanderlust so incredible and I’ll probably think of many things I wanted include here once I hit the “send” button, but suffice it to say, we are completely over the moon about Wanderlust, her crew and the memories we made during our Jan charter week. Please feel free to share with whomever might be interested in chartering and the charter broker community. Thank you so very much!


Sincerely,

Nicole

Katie and Francois
One week on Wanderlust was more than a great vacation. The two of you made it exceptional! We wouldn't change anything about this trip. The itinerary was great, providing stellar opportunities for snorkeling, hobie cat sailing, and island exploring. In addition to being a great captain, Francois was attentive to our requests and spent so much time making sure our grandchildren experienced the water sports. Every meal and charcuterie board created by Katie was a gourmet delight-beautifully served and beyond delicious. ! She went so far beyond our expectations making sure the different dietary requests were incorporated in every meal. This was truly a vacation of a life time. 
None of us will ever forget Katie's Thanksgiving feast and how welcome and homey she always made us feel. We will be making our best attempt at recreating her amazing food as part of our holiday traditions from now on. 
Francois' wine pairings were perfect and so were his hand-crefted cocktails! 
We dreamed of a vacation like this for years, but the two of you made it much better than we imagined!

Katie and Francois, 
Where do we even begin? This trip was a lifelong bucket list item for Michael and now our favorite trip for all of us! From the moment we stepped aboard Wanderlust to the moment we left it was perfection. You curated the perfect days-the flow of the trip was ideal. And not having to make a single decision beyond paddle boarding 🙂 made it a true vacation. 
Kate, your meals were 5-star!! I mean tuna sushi after Eric reeled a tuna in off the back of Wanderlust-you can't make this up! We loved being surprised by your gourmet, beautiful creations-truly an artist. Throwing the most beautiful birthday celebration, you made 40(ish) the best birthday yet!! 
You two and this experience, all 6 of us together has changed us. We truly hope our paths will cross again and we wish you more joy and adventure. 
Endless Gratitude!
We love and miss you
-Michael and Andrea
-Eric and Moe

Dear Katie and Francois, 
Thank you both for the vacation of a lifetime. Every moment was unforgettable from the fabulous welcome, the amazing meals, the thoughtful details, the yummy drinks, and beautiful beaches! We enjoyed both of your company so much. You are both so sweet, funny, knowledgable and made every day PERFECT! Thanks for your patience while we learned new things. Thanks for sharing your stories and enriching our lives. It will truly be difficult for any future vacation to match up. Please let us know when your recipe book is available. The Olympics was so fun and added another layer of fun! You truly thought of everything and are a terrific team! Please come visit us down in NOLA.
Wishing you both continued success!
With much gratitude and love, 

-The Allams

Dear Katie and Francois, 
Thank you for an incredible few days aboard Wanderlust. When we first arrived with our gaggle of excited kids who could barely contain their energy, you were both poised and patient, so thoughtful and attentive to all our needs. The kids fell in love with both of you. 
Katie your cooking was fantastic. You also have such a delightful and positive lightness of being that was a pleasure to be around. We relished every minute of our time with you. I cannot tell you how appreciative we were of the effort you made to coordinate so smoothly with Windward for our tandem. The details and special effort for the 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration were above and beyond! Thank you again!!
-Valerie

Could not have even imagined how amazing this trip has been ... over the top on every scale... Francois and Katie, your involvement in our time made it all the more perfect! Amazing and not able to surpassed. 
Love you both

We had the best week with long time friends and making new friends with Katie and Francois! Your hospitality was the best ! We ate wonderful food everyday- too much! We stopped in all the fun spots- The Baths, Bitter End, Saba Rock, Cooper Island, Soggy Dollar, Foxy's, Anegada, and many more. We have to last a lifetime. 
Thanks so much, 
We loved every minute 
xoxo
Kathy and Ed 

Thank you for your gracious and fun vibe while keep us safe and so well fed while we lived on Wanderlust for the week! The rest and relaxation plus activities were balanced perfectly. So grateful to share this gorgeous corner of the world with you and good friends! Two small words don't seem enough, but Thank You Katie and Francois!
Love, Maria

We had such a fantastic time in the BVI. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable on the boat and for all of the special touches you did to make everything great! The food- OMG-was phenomenal. Katie you are a wonderful cook . Francois, we loved playing games with you and the captains drink was a highlight of everyday. Best of luck on all your new adventures, together. We will miss you and think of you often!
xoxo
Margaret and Mark

Katie and Francois, 
Where to begin? I''l start with this-this was our most favorite vacation ever! We expected beautiful waters and warm sun, but we are leaving with new friendships in the two of you and so much more. Your hospitality has been incredible-always so easy going and willing to jump in and play with our 3 girls! Katie aka Julia Child, your cooking and presentation is what would be found at a 5 star restaurant. You made Easter so special for the girls-creating bunny fruit plates and an Easter cake. We will be dreaming of your meals back at home. I don't know how you do it all every day. Francois, you are one of a kind! Teaching the kids how to tie all different knots during our long sails, always finding the perfect beaches and bays, leading us on the most fascinating dives and hearing about you firsthand experience. Thank you both for these lifelong memories that we will truly never forget. We know that living this life can be hard for the family that misses you, but know that you are touching lives like ours and creating meaningful memories for them. What a gift to share this life together-we are rooting for you two. You are one incredible pair. Please come visit us in Newport Beach, CA. 
Love and Gratitude, 
the Acosta Family

The Wanderlust adventure will be one we'll always remember. We enjoyed the food, snorkeling, and new friendships with Katie and Francois. 
-Cindy and Mark

This experience was amazing! Exceeded all our expectations. Wanderlust is gorgeous. Our crew was the best! I highly recommend. Our entire trip was amazing and would love to do it all over again. Blessings to all!
-Bryan and Deanna

This was our second charter, and Wanderlust far exceeded our first adventure. The crew were hospitable, helpful, accommodating, and most importantly professional. They always had an eye on us to make sure we were having fun, but safe.
The food was 5 star-every meal! The evening "captains" cocktails were imaginative and was a great way to start a relaxing evening after a day of snorkeling and adventure. 
The boat was immaculate and comfortable...beds were better than most hotels!
Special thanks to Katie and Francois.
-Randy and Cindy

This was our first charter experience, and we couldn't have been any luckier! A beautiful brand new boat, decorated perfectly. Francois and Katie made us feel comfortable. It was so easy to transition to "island time." Our only request was that we didn't have a busy itinerary, and Francois and Katie delivered! We got to see new places (and some old). We love the BVI!! Every spot is unique in its own way and has different things to offer. 
I can't believe I made it this far and haven't mentioned the food! WOW!! So much, beautiful, great tasting food. Katie is hands down the best chef! Stuffed from dinner, someone would always mention how they couldn't wait til breakfast the next morning. Literally everything we ate was the best! Fresh lobster from a passing fisherman was a special treat!
Wanderlust is always spotlessly clean and smells amazing. It's funny how it seems to have been made for this crew. I'm not sure what more we could have asked for. This trip is our favorite, EVER.
We can't thank you enough, Francois and Katie!!

The Websters

We love Katie and Francois! 
You two are the best. Katie is the best cook/baker, best tea maker, one of the sweetest people you have ever met, always in a cheerful mood. Katie makes every dish unique and very flavorful, and she is very attentive to everyones needs. Francois is the BEST Captain ever! Katie and Francois made our experience on Wanderlust AMAZING!!! Our beds were made and cleaned everyday right when we woke up and turned down perfectly every night before we went to bed. The interior and exterior of the boat was always clean and tidy. Everything at all times smells so fresh and clean on Wanderlust! Overall, what a beautiful boat and wonderful couple. We loved going to Soggy Dollar, Saba Rock, Bitter End and Cooper Island. We had so much fun but our fun and experience was easily heightened by Katie and Francois.

Wow!! How to start to describe our week with you is tough... We loved every moment on board Wanderlust with the two of you. Francois and Katie you made our week together absolutely amazing. We loved the scuba diving (especially wreak of the Rhone and seeing the planes and 2 sharks), exploring new places (Anegada-the scooters and scavenger hunt were great fun!), fishing (though we never did catch the big one... next time!), the food...wow, we ate so much... it was all so delicious and beautiful! The Wanderlust itself is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, (esp. loved the time sailing with you two), the daily special drinks and the table set ups, and helping us do everything... it was all perfect...and all done with a smile. We can tell you love it here and that love is infectious! 

And I can't forget- "We saw a whale!!!!" Will never forget that. Thank you for a very special week! We hope to be able to sail with you again. 
Please reach out to us if you ever come North to Virginia or our Delaware Beach-we'd love to have you!
Until next time!
Claire, Mark, and Gang

Dear Capt and Kate, 
We can't thank you enough for creating a spectacular week for all of us. You both were perfect hosts and went above and beyond. 
Glenn and I loved our time on the Hobe cat and I cant thank you enough for not flipping it while I was on. 
The meals you created were beyond and one was better than the next. 
We loved exploring Anegada with you, so glad we were able to make it there. We are so lucky to have been your maiden voyage. You both will be very successful and we wish you all the best in the future!
Love 
Lisa and Glenn
PS I will keep working on my napkin folding. thank you for the lessons. 

Dear Kate and Captain, 
Thank you Thank you for a fabulous voyage! Truly everything was fantastic. The food was beyond what we expected and delicious!
The boat was kept so clean and neat. The excursions were all so well planned and enjoyable. Hard to focus on one highlight when everything was a new, fun, and yummy experience. You guys are a great team!
Thank you for everything and smooth sailing!

Kathy and Henry

2023 arrived with a gift-Wanderlust arrived in time for our group to be their first charter! 
Captain Francois and Chef and amazing first mate Kate are experts at what they do, but besides being a wonderful crew-they made us feel cared for and shared their knowledge and love of sailing, boating, and the BVI.
Thank you for an amazing week!
-Martia and Bob

7 Nights in the BVI

Thank you so much for an incredible week in paradise. The boat and food were amazing. Your expertise in guiding us through the islands and beautiful coves helped us create many wonderful memories. Thank you both for your hospitality!!

Thank you for making the 60th Birthday the most amazing time ever. You entertained all of our questions about every island. You showed us what true hospitality means. We could not have asked for more gracious hosts. Thank you and God Bless your future adventures!

Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing week. We loved everywhere we went as well as the fantastic food! Appreciate all the attention to details!
Best Wishes...

Hi [Broker],

Terry, Ruth, the Yacht, the entire trip was fabulous! We were able to enjoy all the amenities, (diving, waterskiing, banana boating, paddle boards), the food was fabulous, cocktails were flowing, and perfect weather. And yes, the only negative is the week went by too quickly.
My husband Vince even asked if they had limoncello and there was only one drink left so Ruth surprised us by contacting her off charter crew friends who arrived in their dinghy with a full bottle!
I would definitely recommend this crew without hesitation.
Thank you!
Cindy

6. On-Board Cuisine: A++
7. Destination / Location: A++
8. Water-Sports: A++
9. Overall Satisfaction: The entire experience was amazing. Terry and Ruth were wonderful. You can really tell the difference between a seasoned crew and the younger crews we’ve experienced in the past. Terry was always whistling and cheerful, had endless patience teaching us all about Cat vs Mono sailing and the quirks of the yacht, answered a thousand questions and never once seemed put out by our endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Ruth’s meals were outstanding and she is a warm and cheerful presence on the boat. We loved the size of yacht for 8 of us-her spacious deck space, the big fly deck, the cabins…everything. The layout with the galley being down below made it seem as if meals magically appeared out of nowhere. That was a fun surprise as we hadn’t been on a Cat with that configuration before.

We would give this boat and crew our HIGHEST recommendation. This is now our 4th crewed charter in the VI’s and they the prize in every category. First class crew, first class cuisine, first class vessel.

___________________________________________________________________________________

My experience was by far better than I could have imagined. The boat fit all of us perfectly with enough room to find our own space, yet small enough for intimate meals. It was important to all of us to have our own bathrooms, so enough said about that.

Let's talk crew -- Ruth & Terry... I do not know where to start as they were flawless, fun, communicative, smart, detailed+++! Every question we asked about the BVI's or the ocean in general they could answer. To watch the dynamic duo in their element was a spectacular flow of energy whether it was anchoring, sailing, making beds, meal prep, dive prep, cooking spectacular meals, showing us brilliant dive/snorkel spots and following us around to pick up after us made our journey unforgettable. I highly recommend choosing this crew hands-down! Terry's sense of humor (his April fools joke got us good!) suggesting to take slow-mo video from his dingy and his quick comebacks kept us laughing. Ruth's MOST AMAZING meals EVER!!! Nuff said! We are a group of well-traveled individuals, with sophisticated palates and she blew our minds night after night. They are a solid team and so refreshing to watch them do their thing, whatever it was.

Thank you to all of you! You guys make travel dreams come true.

Fondly,
Arden G

Alex, Carla and Joey!
For our third adventure with you – you all knocked it out of the park! We are hoping to get in on your retirement tour before you move on – we can’t miss that!
Alex – from day one you make us feel welcome and a part of your Bagheera family. Your mastery of the boat and the islands filled our days with awe and wonder! We always had the best anchor spots and left other boats “staring”!! We loved it! We had the best snorkeling and water sports of any boat out here! ♥ Sent from my iPhone Carla – I’m sure we each gained 10 lbs on this trip with your scrumptious food! You cook with love and we taste it in every meal! Your cooking tips will be put to great use back home. I especially enjoyed getting to visit with you on the beach at Soggy Dollar. You all have an amazing story! ♥ Joey!! What a treat it was for us to have you with our charter this time. You brought fun, laughter and a genuine joy for life! Your attention to details is inspiring and you added “FUN” to every day!
Thank you for the photos and videos – another added bonus for our trip!!
Thank you all – one more time – for another trip of a lifetime!
Love

Sharing this week with friends on this beautiful catamaran has been phenomenal. From the food to the snacks and drinks and Joey’s service and banter, it’s been amazing!!
Alex, without your guidance and knowledge of the waters and islands, we wouldn’t have experienced all the amazing things we saw and did. Thank you for sharing with us.
Carla, what can I say about all the amazing meals — you are an amazing chef and that chocolate birthday cake was phenomenal!! Thank you for everything.
Joey, well where do I begin — without you our trip would have been average, you made it outstanding!! You have an amazing personality and are very much a people person. Thank you for constantly taking care of us, drinks were never empty, banter and jokes were always flowing. Good luck in your next adventures.

Captain Ben, your professionalism, skill and calm presence made us feel completely at ease the entire trip. Joey, your energy and attention to every detail (folding napkins) helped make each day seamless and fun. 
And Maisie – your meals were simply incredible. Every dish was delicious beautifully prepared and such a highlight of our days on board (will be waiting for the cookbook).
We loved every adventure, tubing, snorkeling and exploring the waters – and everything was handled with such care and expertise. The entire experience was impeccably run. It is clear how much pride you all take in what you do.

Alex, Carla and Joey,

We loved our voyage on the Avalon so much that we knew when we saw your names on the Bagheera that we wanted to book immediately. You don't feel like "crew" you feel like family - although family that cooks three delicious meals a day, sails us to perfect destinations and a little nephew (Joey) who makes beautiful tablescapes and happily sees to our every need! 
Thank you for a wonderful sail celebrating 40 years of love. I hope we sail together again!

Thank you for providing so much more than the "bare-boat necessities" for our week of luxury, adventure and friendship. We had such an amazing time on Bagheera celebrating Dr. R's landmark birthday and it wouldn't have been the same without your attention to every little detail. We have been spoiled. 
Cheers!

I was lucky enough to find John 41/2 years ago. I heard so much about this trip and knew we needed this memory together. Now that I have found you three you have brought more joy & adventure to our life together. Bagheera is amazing but nothing without Alex's ability to find fun and adventure.

PS Love captain Alex's saying - Take your time, but hurry up! hahaha

Alex, Carla and Joey,

This is our second time on the Bagheera with Alex& Carla and when you think it couldn't top the last trip, it did!
You all delivered way above our expectations with all the great food and friendly service. It feels like we are part of the Bagheera family😊.
Joey is a great addition to the Bagheera and he did amazing on his first charter. We hope to come back soon with our family.
Julie and Ronnie
 

We had an amazing time on Bagheera with Ben, René, and Ashley! 
They were informative, engaging and a pleasure to be around. They worked hard to insure we had a first class experience, communicating regularly to make sure our trip exceeded all our expectations! 

Ashley did a phenomenal job on all the food, creating a delightful culinary experience for every meal, while meeting the unique and varied dietary requirements of us all. René quickly recognized our individual preferences and needs and worked hard to make us feel pampered. Ben handled the boat with confidence and skill, allowing us to sit back and enjoy the ride! In addition he was a great DJ, particularly on our sing along and dance party night! 

The boat was well equipped with water “toys” and the crew was quick to make these available to us at every stop. We particularly enjoyed floating with a cold beverage! The boat was well designed for relaxation for both individuals and group gatherings. 
Overall we had a fantastic trip and hope to do it again!

Bagheera crew, 
Thank you so much for such an amazing week! This is always such a special trip for our family and you helped make this a perfect week! This is the best crew ever! This is our 5th time coming to the BVI and you are all by far our favourite!
Captain Ben, thank you for everything you did to make this a fun time and keeping us all safe. Rene, thank you for making us feel so comfortable and well taken care of! Chef Ashley, Bravo! Everything you made was fantastic and just kept getting better! Cheers and Happy New Year! 

Susan, Tony, Alyssa, Ellie and Isabella, Tommy and Will

We are fortunate to have done this trip many times with different boats and different crews...Never have we felt so well looked after, so well fed and so certain that we made the perfect holiday choice! Cheers to Captain Ben "The outboard bandit", Rene "The spritz master" and Chef Ashley "The angel of culinary delights" Best trip ever!

This is a trip we have dreamed of and talked about for many years. Our expectations were high and were exceeded in every way. This has been the best snorkeling we've ever done and a great mix of sight--seeing and being in remote locations. My favourite were the clear nights when we could see all of the stars. Thank you for a truly spectacular week that we will never forget!

It was just as we had hoped.
The boat is so well equipped and we made use of all the sea toys on offer. We spent a lot of time in the water!!
The route and venues meant that we saw and stayed at some beautiful places - so we have some stunning pics to share with family and friends.
Alex ensured that we got our snorkelling done in some good spots and that we did just right amount of sailing each day on our route.
Carla prepared us fulsome breakfasts which set us up for the day and lovely varied dinners which we were ashamed not to finish sometimes, such were the generous portions.
Gui, the deck hand, was very attentive and kept us plied with drinks and the crew conjured up some great cocktails.
All in all, we had a memorable time; it was just a shame that our eighth passenger was not able to be part of it due to his ill health.

We would all do this again!! Perhaps the BVI’s or somewhere new to us next time….
 

Alex, Carla and Beatrice,
Our family had a magnificent holiday and 40th celebration of our first born Carter. We are so thrilled he found such an incredible week for us to spend together.

Alex, Carla & Bea,
What a wonderful week aboard Bagheera! Alex knew all the perfect spots to take us and is so knowledgeable about all the island reefs and swims etc. Carlas food was incredible – each meal so different from the last. We certainly were spoiled! Bea’s attention to every detail and her interaction with the kids made for the most relaxing week ever for us. We hope to return! Best family vacation ever. The Cheatwoods.

Truly the trip of a lifetime! Every single thing was remarkable. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please come visit us in Beaufort. XXOOOX Love A & D Beaufort South Carolina
Dear Alex, Carla and Beatrice, 
This trip has been the trip of a lifetime, due to many reasons, such a beautiful location. Alex has taken us to locations, that other boats have not been able to get to, his gentle mannerisms, cruising us around the islands, has made the trip so relaxing. Our chef Carla has cooked us food everyday like no other meals we have ever eaten at any restaurant, each meal has just got better and better, can’t believe the meals she made all perfectly timed for us to all eat together and taste so amazing. Beatrice such a lovely host, so accommodating, friendly and gorgeous person always looking after everyone’s needs individually. “Michlle you want Chardonnay??” So cute. Thank you so so much for making this trip so memorable. Michelle and Chris from Sydney Australia. Our Aussie friends are so Jealous!!
Dear Alex Carla and Bea – This is our third time we went to the BVI and this was Our Best Trip Ever!! The food was beyond fantastic and the service was wonderful. We greatly enjoyed the experience. We look forward to traveling with you again in the future. Nancy, Beaufort South Carolina
Completely Professional, Cruise and crew, locations, food spectacular. Best BVI cruise we have ever done! Dave S.C.
Dear Alex and Carla and Bea,
Paul and I have never been to the BVI and we were so fortunate to be treated to a week on Bagheera with you! We have had the most fabulous trip with Alex as our Captain, Carla as our gourmet chef and Bea as our incredible bar tender, waitress and housekeeper extraordinaire! Everything has been over the TOP! Excellent! We have been treated to the most beautiful, scenic spots in the BVI by Alex who knows every highlight in the islands. We cannot describe how fabulous each meal prepared by Carla, has been! Better than any first class restaurants we have been to for dinner! Five Star! Bea is the Island Bartender beyond our dreams! Tropical treats every day! She waited on us hand and foot and we never wanted for anything we could not get! Bea is always there! 
The bottom line is our trip has been out of this world because of you three. We love you! Betty and Paul.

Dear Alex, Carla & Bea,
Thank you so much for making my vacation perfect! I had a blast and you guys rocked it! The food, care and guidance were impeccable! I will pray for you guys to prosper & for great health! May God Bless you all richly, Mitch.

Alex, Carla, Bea,
Special times with special people. Thanks for the birthday party for Cheri. Snorkeling was a highlight for sure and obviously the meals, snacks, drinks and all the special touches. Anegada sail was amazing! Cheers Cheri and Patrick North Carolina

The cruise aboard Bagheera was absolutely wonderful. The boat is super well maintained and we love the contemporary feel in it’s appointments. Alex, Karla, and Bea are so professional and organized. Karla’s meals should be featured on a cooking show ! Alex sailed us everywhere with such ease and efficiency. Bea was amazingly attentive to everyone’s needs. We saw and did more then we anticipated; stopped in at all the famous watering holes, looked for buried treasure, and enjoyed the stunning views of the BVI.
It was certainly a “bucket list trip” . Thank you so much for all you did for us !! Len & M'Recia
 

Alex, Carla, Bea!!! What an amazing experience! Thank you, the crew for making this trip such a breeze. The memories of this week will be with us forever, and the three of you will always be a part of it! Great way to be introduced to sailing. I could not possibly wish to have it any other way. P. S The food was amazing!!! Hope to see you again one day! Gerwald “The Russian”.
This week was an unexpected gift with wonderful people and a lifetime of smiles. Thank you Alex, Bea and Carla for an adventure we will never forget. Best 40th birthday ever. Thank you, Thank you Earth & Alec
Wow! This week was one of the most incredible experiences of our life. Captain Alex, Chef Carla and sweet Bea made it so enjoyable. Something we will never forget.

“Meals – WOW!!! Carla was an amazing cook. She also remembered Jo Ann’s aversions (any meat but pork, runny eggs, etc.) and sometimes had something different for her or made sure there were substantial sides if we had something like chicken or beef. We ate like kings and queens. B (Beatrice? We were told to call her B so not sure of her full name) was awesome as first mate and server. Super nice, always trying to make sure we had what we wanted. I think we only ate one or two meals off the yacht. Other than that we had three amazing meals every day. And I have an extra 5lb to prove it, which I rarely gain on regular cruises. 

I know they couldn’t get everything we requested as far as alcohol, but they had great options and took care of us. 

The yacht was beautiful and Alex (and Carla and B) were constantly cleaning and making sure it was clean and in great shape. Sometimes on boats things get a little moldy or whatever but I never saw that. They did have rules they wanted us to follow about where we could sit when we were wet and where was off limits, so I’m sure that helps keep it nicer. And no red wine inside – great rule on their part! They had lots of fun toys, but we mostly lazed around and floated. They got one of those power surfboards the day we left, so more fun toys. Alex was great about explaining how to use them, getting it set up, cleaning it up. It was a lot of work for him! The first day he taught us how to use the nemo thing he told us we couldn’t drink before, which was understandable. B cleaned our rooms once a day and made the beds etc. 

Crew – amazing! Super friendly and helpful. Alex was super knowledgeable about the islands and who lived where and would explain it all to us as we cruised around. It was kind of weird being in such close quarters for that long with people we really didn’t know but by the end of the week we had fallen into our routine and were comfortable talking/not talking, whatever. I think that feeling was on our end because this was new for us and we weren’t sure how much to say hi when we walked by them if they were working, etc. 

The BVI was beautiful, but we were surprised how uncrowded pretty much everything was except for Jost Van Dyke. I asked if that was covid and Alex said it was the hurricane in 2017 and then covid. Everything is still recovering. We did find a couple fun places to dance and party where there were other people, but it was a pretty chill trip (except for Willy T Sunday night escapade lol). I wasn’t too impressed with the snorkeling but maybe that’s because I’m used to diving in areas better known for diving. The rest of the group seemed to really enjoy the snorkeling. I think if we went again I would probably line up diving and also find some more resorts that had some nightlife if we could. 

Expectations? That’s so hard because none of us really knew what to expect. We loved the laziness of the days and the ease of having everything right at our fingertips for food and drink. They had a lot of great toys and the crew, again, was fantastic. I personally missed more action like nightlife, but that’s probably because my expectations weren’t realistic and had nothing to do with the boat/crew. If I did it again I would pack even less than I did for sure. We bought quite a few t-shirts and outside of swimsuits that’s basically what I wore every night. 

I would wholeheartedly recommend the Bagheera and its crew. Fair Winds,
 

Dear Carla, Alyssa, and Alex, 

Thank you so much for a wonderful week. We all had a wonderful relaxing time enjoying the breath of the BVI and sharing with you our great times. The food was amazing! We enjoyed every single dish. Always felt safe with Alex and appreciate the time he spent with the girls skiing and wakeboarding. Thanks so much.
 

Alex, Carla, and Erin,
Seriously. Best. Week. Ever. More than hospitality. You all showed us true kindness and friendship. Love and care into every detail. Patience and respect. True professionals. Amazing humans. You made our “surprise Bruce 70th Birthday” surreal for us all. Much love and appreciation.
-Jenn & Eric L

Alex, Carla, and Erin
Oh my goodness. You delivered way beyond expectations – in every way. Not only was this trip with you three an adventure of a lifetime for this soul-friend group, your warm caring generous hearts gave something that is so very rare and so incredibly valuable in these times. Thank you! I can only dream of another opportunity to “live out loud” with you all again. 
-Benna

Alex, Carla, and Erin 
We will never ever forget this soul-cleansing trip. You made Bruce’s surprise birthday unforgettable. We will never forget this trip as long as we live.

We will never forget these meals that you put before us for 7 amazing days!!

Explored a new geography and come to better understand the diverse ways people live on this lovely planet – a refreshing perspective. I am determined to visit all Caribbean Island before I die and if there is an opportunity to do so with Carla and Alex. The team is absolutely brilliant and I couldn’t have more positive things to say about this trip. Huge shoutout to our team of elite navy seals.

To Bagheera crew and friends, words cannot even describe how much we enjoyed this trip! But here is my best attempt to summaries the amazing times we shared….
This is a week we look forward to all year long. With all the craziness of this year, we needed this trip more than ever. Your warm smiles and endearing spirits made this the absolute best one yet!
We are no strangers to sailing but after hearing my parents sing your praises all these years, I honestly didn’t believe there was anyway you could possibly live up to it. I was incredibly wrong! You exceeded every expectation. Everything was perfect from the food, weather, conversation. Thank you for allowing us to be your first charter of the season. We hope you enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed yours.

Captain Alex:
Thank you for an amazing trip. Your willingness to accommodate all our needs… knowledge of sailing is unmatched 
Carla,
Thank you so much for yar wonderful food. Although my wardrobe will definitely fit a little snug when I get back. Your culinary expertise, sweet humor are something I’ll always remember. Everything was Very nice.

Thank you Alex, Carla and Georgia, for one of the most amazing experiences of my (our) lives. Everything was perfect - the food, the cocktails, the service, the storie and of course our unforgettable Willie T night, swinging off the side of the boat and getting me on waterskis. Everything was outstanding!!
We have traveled alot and I can't say enough about how incredible the hospitality & experience was. I'll leave you with...

We had a fabulous vacation aboard Bagheera. Our entire family of 8 agreed it was our best vacation ever! We loved the casualness of just getting up in the morning, putting on our swimsuits, or bathrobes, having breakfast and starting the day. Carla, Alex and Angus were tremendously accommodating and great hosts. We never wanted for anything. We did a good amount of sailing, which we all loved. Many times we would sit up top while Alex was driving and he would tell us the history about the areas we were passing. He was so knowledgeable. We left the itinerary in Alex’s hands, and we could not have been more pleased with all of the beautiful areas he took us to. Beautiful private beaches, great snorkeling, Fun bars, etc. It could not have been better. 

We actually had a hard time leaving the Bagheera each time as it was so comfortable and indeed a home away from home. Carla made sure our beds were made, bathrooms cleaned, as well as serving 3 delicious meals a day with snacks! We really don’t know how she did it. Angus the first mate was a delight! He was so impressive for a 19 year old! We loved hearing his stories. He actually joined us on some of our snorkeling adventures. We wanted to take him home with us. Our vacation aboard the Bagheera not only met our expectations, it far exceeded them. Thank you for your help in coordinating this trip! We couldn’t be happier!

Mac and I wanted to send you a quick note thanking you again for a fabulous week touring the BVIs with you and your awesome crew. It was the vacation of a lifetime and one we will always treasure. I am a veteran cruiser and was very apprehensive about a catamaran trip, but it was PERFECTION! Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the adventure and that we are looking forward to going again sooner than later. 

Captain Alex, you made everyone feel at home from the moment we stepped onboard. Your knowledge and expertise in your job was apparent in every aspect of our trip. Your gentle smile put each one of us at ease and made sure that we were having fun. Your ability to share information, both fun and historical, made island hopping so much fun. It was fascinating that we always found a front row spot, no matter where we went. You made certain that we were comfortable and were entertained, both on and off the boat. You encouraged us to stretch our comfort levels and enjoy the amenities and that was a stretch for me. I will never forget being pulled at slow speed (your words) round and round the cove and later flying up in the sky on the rope swing. Wow! So much fun! And, you make a mean painkiller!

Carla, you are an amazing talent! Not only are you lovely, but you are extraordinary in the galley. Our meals and wine choices were delicious and the food presentation was incredible. Your attention to every detail - whether it was our food allergies or just our own personal preferences was so appreciated. You made each meal and cocktail hour- an event that we looked forward to each day. You know how much we loved your cookies and your willingness to share your scrumptious recipes was so kind. 

Best wishes and we look forward to seeing you again. Until then.. 

With love,
Susan and Mac

As much as we loved our first trip to the BVI, this was by far several levels above that, we could not have made a better choice than Alex and Carla. 
Absolutely the best crew in the BVI, Carlas meals were amazing and Alex is just a crazy SOB, perfect for our group. The thing that was evident from the start is how attentive they both are to making sure you have a great time, which we did in spades. 
We loved their approach to making our trip memorable, the itinerary was perfect, spent days at beautiful beaches and then Alex would run the girls to shore for shopping expeditions then come back and entertain the boys with watersports or fishing. They worked their butts off, constantly making us cocktails and spoiling us. 
Avalon was very well maintained and we had no problems whatsoever, as we sailed to different locations; Alex provided commentary on the islands and points of interest, hes awesome. 
They both made us feel like family, and I know I came away with a deeper respect for how much work is involved in taking care of 8 guests for a week. If you cant tell by now, we had an amazing trip with these two and only way I would come back is with Alex and Carla. 
I very much appreciate all you did to simplify the process. Hope to see yall again in the near future. Thanks again for a great trip. 
Cheers;

Thanks for your help in setting up this trip. I really cant recommend Alex & Carla enough. Here is a brief review:
Our family, including 2 grandparents and 2 grandchildren ages 7 and 9, enjoyed a week with this great crew in April 2015. If you are considering booking, dont hesitate. The yacht, the crew, the dining, and the itinerary were all top notch.

Alex and Carla are an outstanding crew. They catered to our every need, and they can be very interactive or they can give you more privacy depending on the style of service you prefer. They designed the perfect itinerary based on what we wanted to experience in the BVI. Alex is an experienced sailor, and he knows just about everything there is to know about every island in the BVI. Hes great with kids, and he helped us play a hilarious April Fools day prank on our boys. Alex also makes the best Pina Coladas ever, so dont miss out on that.
Carla is an amazing chef, and she really went above and beyond catering to a group containing several picky eaters. My parents are gluten free and dairy free, and my children extremely picky about what they eat. To make things more complicated, my wife and I are adventuresome eaters. Somehow Carla managed to make everyone happy, which would normally require going to 3 different restaurants. And the meals were exceptional including artistic presentation and delicious deserts. Carla also made awesome snacks, which were perfect after a swim, snorkel, hike, or paddle.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a cruise in the BVI or anywhere else Alex and Carla will take you.
Thanks,
Al

We had such a terrific time. They are amazing hosts. Carla is a fantastic cook and really went out of her way to make certain she was cooking food we all would enjoy. Alex is a great host and certainly knew when to hit each spot when the crowds were about to disperse. He really knows his stuff!
We can't say enough about the quality of the trip and the attention to detail. We have so many wonderful memories and photos too. I think Alex is going to use some of the shots for their facebook page. Our kids caught two big fish one day and we managed to capture the haul on camera!! That shot alone is enough to entice any family with young children.
We'd love to do another trip with them on the Avalon. 

Warmly (and with sun tan lines galore)-

Dear Alex and Carla,

Well, weve been home for a week and were still riding high on our happiness from that fabulous with you guys. Thank you, thank you for that you did to make that very special week more than we ever could have hope for or imagined. Believe me, our expectations were high (and I was a little worried about that going in) but you made it so that it surpassed anything we dreamed of. We will treasure the memories forever and be ever grateful that we were fortunate enough to spend the time with you.

Thank you so very much.

Fondly,

Terri & Larry

Thank you for an incredible week of sailing the BVIs! Your knowledge, passion, talents and attention to every detail made this adventure an experience of a lifetime! We will forever cherish our Caribbean memories with you ... Sunsets, painkillers, freshly ground nutmeg, snorkeling, fishing, dinghy rides, the gorgeous beaches you helped us smoothly navigate and discover, paddle-boarding, kayaking, tubing, relaxing on the 'starship painkiller'! The cards, the disco lighting, the perfectly executed romantic celebration and or course, very wonderful Carla-creation ... It was all so magical! 

All our love and appreciation,

Carolyn, Steve, Sarah, Dan, Mike, Amy, Ed & Courtney

There are truly no words to express the level hospitality you have shown us. Alex, Carla and Miss G all have shown us the most wonderful trip of a lifetime. You have shared a number of firsts for me , especially snorkeling, paddle boarding, and the like. I could not find a better way to spend my birthday. Tye dance surprise party was a blast.
Thank you for earthing especially for making us feel safe. truly no words!

Until next time,

Thanks to you, this was a dream come true.
Mary, Chuck, Cheryl and Marty

Thank you so much for such an amazing week on the Bagheera. 
Once again your hospitality was superb. Not only was the trip one of our best, both Mac and I appreciate the genuine friendship that has grown over the years. We love you guys and look forward to our next adventure with you. 
Love Mac and Susan McQueen

This trip was EXACTLY what we were looking for and was AWESOME. The hospitality and attention to detail was fantastic in every way. I hope you enjoyed having us and that we left you with some memorable stories. If there is another dance party at SABA rock be sure to send us pictures. We hope to be back with you again and enjoy the beauty of the ocean and islands. Be well
Daniel, Hayley, Mike and Tiffany Dan and Lawren.

Matias, Maia + Eden,
Thank you a million times for the most amazing experience aboard Ascension.
The boat is so comfortable, and sails so beautifully, but the real beauty is you guys.
Being foodies, we looked forward to every meal, and stuffed ourselves, happily. Every anchorage was a delight, and we always heard "Yes!" to our requests.
We loved snorkeling with you, and hunting underwater surprises. Sharing stories was a delight. Your intuition and ability to mold to our group's wants & needs was flawless. Not an easy task. Eden created the most amazing dishes, both beautiful and flavourful. We hope to see you again and have more adventures!!
Best to You,
Debbie + Anthony

Matias, Maia and Eden
We had the most wonderful experience with you guys! It was a celebration of a lifetime for Michael's 60th and Jacques 30th!
An experience for aur family we will never forget. The snorkeling spots were so amazing and the sailing was the most amazing activity and fulfilled a huge dream of Michael. The three of you are incredible together working flawlessly.
Eden made the most incredible cuisine and the cooking lesson with Jacques - Alexa and Caroline were above and beyond. I will cherish my green tea essential oil and alway think of you guys and this trip. Thank you for these wonderful memories and we look forward to seeing you again on another trip in the future.
Love
Cinthis and Michael

I am deeply grateful and happy to have taken this trip. Everything was sensational, starting with the kindness of the crew. They took care of us at all times and made everything easy so we could fully enjoy the fantastic stay. Thank you, Maia, Mati, and the great chef Eden. I will be back with my family!
Paula

Dear Maia, Mati, and Eden, thank you for that unforgettable week. For us it was truly unique, and for me it meant discovering that traveling around the Caribbean by boat is a deeply enriching and unforgettable experience. And doing it with this crew, who are now our friends, made it even more special!

Dear Maia, Mati, and Eden, how lucky we are to have been able to share unforgettable moments full of closeness with each of you and with all of you together—it is the beginning of a friendship. Ascension is a marvel of design, but it was you who moved us, pampered us, and cared for us, making us feel that every moment can be enjoyed even more and with joy when there is empathy. A hug for each of you and for the three of you together.

Matias, Maia and Eden- It is impossible to thank you such an unforgettable trip.
Every detail was perfect! The drinks, the activities, the journey to different islands and the food! was unforgettable. Most importantly we loved setting to know each of you are amazing and we must stay in touch. You are always welcome to our home in CA!

Matias, Maia, and Eden, thank you so much for the wonderful experience that exceeded all our expectations. Our whole family noticed the passion you have for your work and the love you have for this beautiful place. Your dedication is contagious, and for that, I thank you very much. We will all remember this trip and will come back to see you in Ascension or on your next boat. You are more than welcome to visit us in California. See you soon!

Some may say they are the most sought-after things in life: peace, joy, and love. For the three of you to foster, celebrate, and support one another in these ways seems to be a dream.
For you three to invite others into your floating oasis of peace, joy, and love — the greatest of gifts.

With all sincerity and gratitude, we thank you for helping us feel held, cared for, and finally able to rest.
This has been the greatest family vacation we have ever had.

Matias, Maia, Eden, we pray you rest and enjoy your time away. Thank you for all y’all did to care for us.

Matias, Maya & Eden

We had a magical trip!
The food was amazing at every meal!
Thank you so much for entertaining our children. Thanks to all of you they now want to live on the boat forever!
We hope you have time to recover before your next trip. You all went above & beyond to make sure everyone was having an amazing time.
We have memories for a lifetime.

Thank you!

Our Dream Voyage on Ascension. The crew's service was stellar, Eden crafted meals fit for kings, playing special attention to all the little things. This is paradise, we couldn't ask for more, the water activities were a blast of pure delight in this dream of a lifetime everything felt right. So here's to our journey on Ascension, with laughter and love our hearts are so full on this magical voyage.
Lori and Dave

Thank you for your hospitality and new found friendship. Your effort to make us feel welcome and happy went above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of. The food was amazing, The activities brought us lots of fantastic memories that will last a lifetime! All of the islands were interesting and theme nights were so joyful. I could not have imagined a better trip.
Maia, your music was an absolute joy to listen to that filled our hearts with such pleasure. Don' t ever stop singing and playing the piano and guitar. Matias you made us always feel safe knowing you were in complete control of the boat. Eden, your quiet kindness was a joy to see and and really enjoyed everything you cooked for us. Until we meet again, thank you!!

Thank you so much for helping us have the most amazing vacation that we will never forget. From Matias' knowledge to Maia's beautiful personality and talent, and our favorite chef Eden, with his amazing culinary skills!! Miguel and I loved our daily talks with you. May our paths cross again!
Marisol y Miguel.

Everything was amazing...the location, the boat, the food (Eden is an A++!), and especially the crew! Thank you so much for a perfect week on Ascension.

From the moment we arrived at the maria to our final return, every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations. The boat was immaculate, well maintained and very comfortable.
Our captain and crew were absolute professionals, knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. They anticipated our needs and created a welcoming atmosphere that made us comfortable.
We are looking forward our next sail experience with the team! Thank you for everything.

Dear Matias, Nico & Eden, Thank you so much for one of the best vacations I had. You all made it look so easy but I know you all work so hard. I wish I could be here longer and I hope to keep in touch and cross paths again.

Thank you for such an amazing week sailing and kiting on the South Caribbean. Our expectations were already really high before doing this trip. And you guys exceeded them by far. The catamaran (ASCENSION) is a solid beauty; the food was perfect, way better than any gourmet restaurant in town. The crew always in all the details and really on top of every single situation, which is really important in a trip like this one. If you are looking for an adventure in paradise in a 5 star hotel and with the perfect crew, this is it! No doubt.
Hope to see you back soon on another trip!
Good Winds and see you soon.

Captain Mathias, Stew Nico and Chef Eden were amazing and the boat was immaculate. They created a fun, calm and enjoyable environment. The service was first class. Thank you guys!

Thank you so much for the professionalism and for making our first sailing trip the best vacation ever. Ascension was home for a week, we had the most special sunsets with delicious dinners and special cocktails! Beach resting, snorkeling, photo spots, every detail was perfect!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ May 2023

Getting to know Great Exumas with this amazing crew has become a top 5 trip ever! Thanks Matias and crew for this amazing vacation. Complete watersport experience: scuba diving days, learning kitesurfing with Nico, wakeboard and even some sailing basics! Hope we can make it again next year!

Captain Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you both for such an amazing sailing adventure through the BVI’s. Your hospitality, professionalism, and attention to every detail made this trip truly unforgettable.

The food was outstanding, the snorkeling incredible, and every destination seemed more beautiful than the last. Sandy Spit was my personal favorite — a picture-perfect paradise that I’ll never forget.

I also want to thank you for making my 60th birthday celebration so special. The birthday cake was delicious. Your thought and effort meant a great deal to me.

Thanks for creating such a fun, relaxing, and memorable experience. We will cherish these memories from this trip for years to come and hope to sail with you both again someday.

May God bless you both, and we pray that all your hopes and dreams come true.

If you ever come our way, please come see us or plan a trip to visit. We will let you sleep in and serve you Hazel O’s.

Much love,

- Paula & Danny



Hazel & Yah Yah

I don’t know where to begin. Yes — the food, stops and hospitality were superb. However, your true spirit and generous time with us made this trip the BEST I have ever had.

Thank you just isn’t enough (Hazel — the G.O.A.T.!)

May all your dreams come true.

God Bless,

- Christy and Jimmy



Hazel and Yah Yah,

Thank you both for an amazing trip. You both were so nice to help me feel so comfortable on the boat.

I wish you both the best in life. The food and company was wonderful. You both did everything to make me feel safe getting on and off that dinghy. Everything was beautiful and top notch!

Love,

- Kelly & Jeff

Thank you so much for making this the most amazing trip!! Every detail and aspect was perfect or above and beyond. Every anchoring/mooring spot 10/10! Every dive 10/10! Every drink, meal, snack, dessert 100000/10! You were the most amazing, wonderful crew. Please do this forever so we can keep coming back!

— Savannah

Thank you so very much for making this trip so special for me and my family. We truly had the best time and it was so memorable and relaxing and funny thanks to you guys! Diving was incredible! The food was awesome!!!! Drinks too; I was blown away! We’ll cherish ScubaDoo & y’all forever!

Many thanks,

— Lily

Hazel & Yah Yah,

You are such a sweet couple and truly skilled at what you do!! You made this trip everything and more than we ever expected. ScubaDoo is so comfortable, and the food was beyond amazing.

Every mooring spot was perfection, the dives amazing, the cocktails so delicious!!

Hazel, your sense of humor was so subtle — I had fun watching the kids try to figure it out.

We got to do everything on our wish list and more, and it never felt rushed. This is the most relaxing, beautiful, pampered trip I’ve ever taken!

Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of us all. And thank you for having the scooter — it made snorkeling possible for me, and that’s one of my most favorite things to do.

Many thanks!!

— Ann Marie

Perfect! Everything was perfect!

We are grateful for Hazel & Yah-Yah, sunsets, snorkeling, hiking, E-foil, floating, and most especially the FOOD!! It was ahhh-mazing.

Thank you for a wonderful memory-making vacation for our family.

God bless you always!

Stacy & David Copeland

P.S. Bless your heart!!

Words can’t describe how fabulous our sail through the BVI’s was. God’s creation combined with your servant hearts and crafted skills made this a trip of a lifetime for the Erwins!

Hazel, your ability to captain the boat was fun to observe. You are also great with coordinating & teaching all the water activities, diving, water toys, etc.

Yah Yah, your gift and talents as a chef are unmatched. Your food was simply amazing… every meal!

You are now family to us. I pray God’s protection & favor over you. I pray that prosperity will bless you.

Bryan & Terri

As I sit here and dwell on not being there and being home, it's truly hard to come up with words that describe this life changing experience.

As a business owner in the hospitality industry, let me just say that Hazel and Yaya are an invaluable asset to work with. I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life. If I were in your shoes and guiding folks to pick their boat, there isn't anything that Hazel and Yaya are not capable of. They are literally perfection. I wrote a review, but wanted to share it with you here as well, because it was so hard to come up with the right things to say, because so many moments were unexplainable, but I hope this did it justice:

There are vacations… and then there are experiences that completely change you as a person. What we experienced with Hazel and Yaya was not simply a charter, a getaway, or even a luxury trip. It was one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences of our lives, and I truly believe a piece of our hearts will always remain on that boat with them.

From the moment we stepped onboard, Hazel had this incredible presence about him. Calm, confident, genuine, thoughtful—someone who instantly makes you feel safe, taken care of, and completely at ease. What amazed us most about Hazel was how effortlessly he made every single day feel perfectly tailored to us. He somehow knew exactly when we wanted adventure, when we wanted to relax, when we wanted to explore, when we wanted quiet moments together, and when we wanted to laugh until our stomachs hurt. Exploring the islands with Hazel leading the way felt like seeing the world through the eyes of someone who truly loves what he does. Every route, every stop, every experience felt intentional. He didn’t just captain a yacht—Hazel created memories that will stay with us forever.

And then there is Yaya...

I genuinely don’t know if words can do Yaya justice.

I can say, without a single ounce of exaggeration, that Yaya prepared the best food I have ever had in my entire life. Not “best food on a boat.” Not “best vacation food.” The best food... period. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—every single meal somehow topped the last. We would finish a meal and think, there’s no way it gets better than this... and then somehow Yaya would do it again.

But what made Yaya so special wasn’t just her talent in the kitchen—it was the love behind everything she created. You could feel it in every bite. Every plate felt thoughtful, personal, beautiful, and unforgettable. She completely changed how I think about food. She reminded me that food is not just something you eat—it’s something that brings people together, creates emotion, and tells a story. And Yaya told one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever experienced.

The yacht itself was absolutely incredible. There were five of us—my mother, my mother-in-law, my husband, my best friend, and myself—and somehow it felt like we had endless space. Everyone had room to relax, recharge, connect, and have their own moments while still sharing this unbelievable experience together.

But if I’m being honest... the yacht, the islands, the views, the luxury—all of that was only part of what made this so extraordinary.

The real magic was Hazel and Yaya.

Somewhere during this trip, they stopped feeling like crew and started feeling like family. Saying goodbye to Hazel and Yaya at the end was genuinely emotional. There were tears. There were hugs. And there was this overwhelming feeling that something incredibly special had just happened to all of us.

There is truly no dollar amount in this world that can buy the kind of memories, connection, growth, and perspective that Hazel and Yaya gave our family. This wasn’t just a vacation. This was life changing.

This trip changed how I see the world. It changed how I value time with the people I love. It changed how I think about food, adventure, and being present in the moment.

And the hardest part of all... was leaving Hazel and Yaya.

We are all heartbroken that it’s over, but one thing is certain...

We will be back for Hazel and Yaya. And until then, we’ll be talking about this experience for the rest of our lives.

This trip was truly unforgettable thanks to you guys — you’re truly so kind and multi-talented! I hope we get together again someday.

— Luke


Thank you so much for your incredible kindness, talent, and dedication. It made this week truly unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience for my family.

December 2025 BVI Charter

Yah Yah,
Huge thanks for an unforgettable week on ScubaDoo! We’re still drooling about the insanely creative and delicious dishes, as well as those next-level tablescapes (seriously Hazel, how did you do it?!).

The food wasn’t just meals — it was part of the adventure. Extra thanks for listening to all of Dad’s stories to keep him entertained… and all of us fat and happy!!

To Hazel, we greatly appreciate your determination for finding us the perfect spots, best adventures, coolest bartender, dinghy tubing, and wakeboarding master. You are a great captain and we appreciate you allowing the guys to help and keeping Danzi entertained.

AND let’s not forget the amazing tablescapes… honestly overachieving in the best way possible!

November 2025 BVI Charter

Hazel & Yah Yah,


Words cannot describe what an amazing trip this was on the ScubaDoo with the both of you. Every day was special because of you. We will always cherish Anegada.


Thank you for joining our family and putting such love and thoughtfulness into every meal, drink, place setting, love — and most of all that natural loving energy that comes from you both.


We know we are an “interesting bunch”. Thanks for accepting that and going with it. Especially Michael — he will miss the bed ferries, food, sails, beautiful views.


But when we talk about this trip, meeting the two of you will be the number one hardest thing to walk away from.


We will be back and already planning on the next ScubaDoo adventure. Hopefully we see y’all before then.


So much love

Lauren, Kim, Jennifer, Will, Sabrina & Michael


P.S. Hazel’s neutral current really is incredible!


June 2025 BVI Charter

Hazel and YaYa were fantastic. Hazel's skippering ability, combined with the boats equipment, let us do more things than I have done previously. He also accompanied us on land tours (the Baths) and gave us a personal tour. YaYa is a great chef/host. Her cooking is amazing – the best I've ever had on a charter like this. Her passion and talent for cooking really came through. Hazel and YaYa were equally good making drinks. They have a lot of energy and really interacted with my family. We had a lot of fun with them!

May 2025 BVI Charter

Yah Yah & Hazel,

This trip didn’t disappoint! You two were a delight. Hazel, the care you took of us was beyond – you vanished my dive anxiety by your calm and peacefulness.

Yah Yah, the food was 5-star. Your catering is to feed people! Your love of food shines through.

Please look us up when you’re in Los Angeles – we would love to see you.

Thanks again!

– Bill & Kathy

I don’t have the words to express how wonderful and amazing this trip was. You both go above and beyond all!

Hazel, thanks for ‘babysitting’ me on our dives – I would have missed out on so much.

Yah Yah, the food was incredible – over-the-top wonderful!

The bartender did a spectacular job as well!

We thank you for a personal experience. And… we hope to see you again soon!

– Paul & Mary

Yah Yah produced beautiful and delicious meals.

Very sad that the week is over.

Wish you the best in all your adventures!

It was by far one of our best trips ever! You guys were so fun and did an amazing job of taking care of us. The food was so good! The drinks too! It was so relaxing, and you did a great job of showing us the best places! I can’t wait to do it again. We would love to take you out on our 25 foot Malibou boat back home. If you are ever in Minnesota, call us.

January BVI Charter 2025


Absolutely incredible experience aboard Scuba Doo, the Lagoon 50 catamaran in the British Virgin Islands! From the moment we stepped on board, Hazel and Ya Ya made us feel like we were on top of the world. Their hospitality was unmatched, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. Ya Ya’s cooking was out of this world – every meal was a culinary masterpiece, and I was blown away by the variety and freshness of the dishes.

The activities were incredible as well! Scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters was an absolute highlight – I got to explore vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside octopus, sea turtles and exotic fish. Snorkeling was equally amazing, with abundant marine life just waiting to be discovered. For the more adventurous, wakeboarding in the calm, turquoise lagoons was so much fun – and the crew made sure everyone was safe and had a blast. I got up on my first try after Hazel’s great lesson.

The whole trip was a dream come true. If you’re looking for an unforgettable vacation in paradise with a crew that feels like family, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s 5 stars all the way!

January 2025 BVI Charter

I just spent an amazing week aboard Scuba Doo 50 in the BVI! We did a lot of fabulous diving, snorkeling, excursions, wakeboarding and other water activities but what really made the experience special was the hospitality and the food by the crew. Somehow, in between preparing restaurant quality meals, snacks and excellent drinks with love and care, leading water excursions, cleaning up after us and keeping the boat and all the water toys well maintained, the crew, Chef Yah Yah and Captain Hazel, also managed to make us feel like family. The environment they created, their ability to always make sure we were comfortable and having the best time and the knowledge they have of the BVI, marine life and the boat absolutely enhanced the whole experience!

I highly recommend a trip on Scuba Doo 50!!



January 2025 BVI Charter

Talk about living the dream! A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of spending a week aboard Scuba Doo 50. Since I had never chartered a boat before, I had no idea what to expect. But let me tell you – this experience exceeded every expectation! The crew, Yah Yah and Hazel, made the week beyond special. They were warm, welcoming, accommodating, and incredibly service-oriented. Yah Yah’s cooking? Absolute perfection! Every meal was delicious and tailored to our tastes. Hazel’s captain skills? Smooth sailing! He handled everything with confidence and ease, making us feel completely at home. The yacht itself? Stunning, spotless, and packed with every luxury imaginable. You won’t find a better crew or a more incredible experience. All I can say is, don’t just dream about it, go do it!



January 2025 BVI Charter

We have been to the BVI twice prior and chartered a similar boat. Our experience on Scuba Doo was first class and exceeded our expectations. The crew, Ya Ya and Hazel were phenomenal. They went out of their way every day to accommodate our requests and make an amazing experience for our kids. From tubing, diving, E-foiling, snorkeling and beach excursions every day was unique and memorable. Scuba Doo is very spacious and well laid out. We spent most of our down time relaxing up front or up top. The boat has everything you need and high end appointments. The Wifi worked excellent the entire trip and was easy to check work emails if needed. The food and attention to detail was fabulous. Hands down the best cuisine we have experienced on a BVI charter. Our kids who can be picky loved every meal and wished their mother could cook like Ya Ya. We were sad to leave but will always remember this trip and look forward to returning on a boat crewed by Hazel and Ya Ya.

December 2024 BVI Charter

A very special experience for a multitude of different reasons. The freedom to explore all of the BVIs, making it feel like an inclusive experience complete with your own Michelin star worthy chef YahYah. This trip would have been wildly different without them leading the way.

Truly- a once in a lifetime experience that is totally worth it.

Very, very sad for this trip to come to a close.



November 2024 BVI Charter

I just spent a week with Yah Yah and Hazel aboard Scuba Doo

I have to say they make work look like fun and made our charter feel like we are their friends .

Each meal was delicious and presented like being in a fancy fancy restaurant.

I have more pictures of my meals than I should but needed to have them.

I recommend highly trying to get this experience you won’t regret it.
-Karen

I just chartered Yacht Scuba Doo 50. Had an amazing week with food out of this world . The Captain and Chef Ya Ya are very attentive of all our needs and made our sail the best . Highly recommend the experience.
-Paul

I apologize for the delay in sending our wonderful experience over to you, time got away from me yet this is important to share.

The entire experience from the preference sheet review call, the trip, the communications until after the trip has been exceptional. The entire crew delivered beyond 100% customer service. They took such wonderful care of all of us, their amazing hospitality will always be cherished. Emma's skills in the kitchen were absolutely phenomenal, the food was so fresh and she went out of her way to cater to the dietary needs. We were blown away by every meal. The presentation was so fun, it was a team effort, we looked forward to every meal. Adrian is quite the expert captain, he taught us so much, he catered to us in the water, keeping us safe, he's full of humor and also deserves recognition for his outstanding captain skills, he was so accommodating. The team all worked seamlessly together throughout the kitchen, cleaning, serving us, steering the boat, anchoring, etc. And lastly the newest addition yet you would never know, Gina, she was so sweet and took wonderful care of us, we all assumed she had been in her role for years. Gina was so attentive. We loved all three in no time, we called them the dream team. The boat was beautiful, clean, with so much space, we never felt crowded. We enjoyed many of the water toys as well. We will definitely plan another trip, the bar is set high now that we have spent time with the crew on the Do More.

You were a delight to work with, very knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions, some we asked more than once so I appreciate your patience. The coordination with everything couldn't have been easier because of you and I appreciate this.

This was a truly magical experience you helped with to heal our beloved Michelle. Thank you for the amazing meals, the knowledge of our surroundings, your tireless energy and gentle spirit. We have loved everything and feel full of gratitude. Congratulations on your recent nuptials. We hope we’ll meet again. Come visit us

Thank you for making the beginning of my 40th year of life one that will last a lifetime. Your warmth, gracious hospitality and genuine sweetness of character truly made each day easy. Emma, your cooking and baking and sense of aesthetics for each dish matched the sensational lad and waterscapes that Adrian sailed us into. Adrian, I personally looked forward to your cocktail creations each night and slept like a dream knowing we were safely looked after while on our temporary ocean time. You are both exceptional people with experience beyond your young years. It is quite impressive. Thank you for giving us your time and attention and for making each day equally, if not more, fun that the next. We wish you both a lifetime of love, prosperity and fun! Love, Jeannie, Philipp and the “40” crew!

There are no words to describe the depth and breadth of our gratitude for your kindness, expertise and hospitality. Our time aboard the Do More will forever be one of the highlights of our lives & our shared friendships you are now in our circle!

There are not enough words in the world to thank you for this amazing experience. We all kept saying to each other “everything happens for a reason” and that brough us all together. Thank you for making Cathy’s 50th birthday so special, as I’m sure you’ve noticed she is spectacular herself. Thank you for taking such great care of us with the most amazing meals, the CLEANEST glassware, the never ending coffee pots, every single Jim Carey reference and of course the straightest Pina Coladas. Also, thank s for making us the COOLEST people on the beach with hand (paddleboard) delivered lunch. We wish you the happiest, luckiest, wonderful…est marriage (3 months! Ah!). It was such a pleasure to witness the love and best vibes that radiate off you two. We love and will miss you with so many laughs, views and daily bacon. See you in 2026! Love, Cathy, Dalena, joe, Gayle, Valerie, Dennis, Angel, Eden, Laura and Allison.

Thank you so much! Everyone had a great time we’re so very thankful for our crew, Emma and Adrian. They were amazing. Emma is a really awesome chef. She made every single meal a delight for everyone. And Adrian was very experienced captain. He had great ideas of where to go was spot on with weather assessments and routes to take for better experiences. 😎

Everyone on our trip wanted to sail again with these two. They made an awesome team! The boat was good too! The accommodations on board suited our group very well. The boat for being as old as it is was in excellent shape. The linens and cushions were brand new with no wear showing. Cabins were cleaned every day, with beds made and linens restocked if needed. The bar and coolers were stocked with everything we asked for and more. The meals were superb.

Guests from previous yacht

Previous guest comments for Adrian and Emma
Two of the most amazing people I have ever met! Thank you for making my once in a lifetime trip absolutely perfect! Y'all have a special place in my heart. Your kindness and patience was so appreciated. You are a part of my family now.

Recommendations:
All the incredible snorkelling spots, the baths, the caves...Adrian's world-class cocktails (Basil Smash especially!). Soggy Dollar and Monkey Point were fan favorites.

Favorite meals:
Poke bowls, fillet mingionion and Tuscan prawn pasta and how could I forget the delicious Key Lime Pie and showstopper birthday cake surprise!

Captain Adrian

“I believe this is my family's 8th or so trip with this charter company. Captain Adrian is incredibly skilled, genuine, and engaging. We enjoyed his wit and appreciated his lively entertainment of the kids, not to mention the fact that he stepped in last minute to captain our charter. Amazing crew, we are very happy with the quality of their service”

I cannot state highly enough how wonderful Adrian was throughout our week long vacation in Croatia. Adrian is a true professional and incredibly skilled. The entire time we felt safe and were also able to learn a great deal from him. Adrian is patient, kind, funny and above all else a truly wonderful person that all future guests are lucky to be able to set sail with. Thank you Adrian."

"Adrian was AMAZING!! We didn't have to worry about anything. He made sure everything was always taken care of and we were comfortable, even finding us dinner reservations and table reservations last minute for us. He fit with our group so seamlessly and we want to vacation with him more now. We feel beyond fortunate that he was our skipper and we're going to miss him."

Chef Emma

Emma was AMAZING! If there was a higher score than a 10/10, I would give it to her! She is an amazing chef and truly went above and beyond for our meals. Her food was better than the food I got on the islands! Her personality was spot on and she made us feel right at home from the second we stepped on board. We truly lucked out with the best Chef in the biz.

Emma was the best Chef we could have asked for. Her food was incredible and she was so good about incorporating food for all the different allergies. She felt like a part of our friend group and our week would not have been the same without he

From the first breakfast we were blown away by Emma's skills in the kitchen! The most beautiful dishes, cooked to perfection. Every single day! Made on a little kitchen, in a tight sailboat, with 11 people flying around her. I wonder why she doesn't work in a *** Michelin. Hold on to this one. Thank you Emma
George. Best of luck - hope to see you again!

Emma was amazing. I was honestly shocked by not only the quality, but display of food she cooked for us over the week. Despite dealing with various dietary restrictions, she continuously prepared fresh and healthy meals for our crew and made sure we knew
our plans and itinerary for each day.

Emma literally made our week. I can't imagine booking a trip like this again without her! She is such a ray of sunshine, so funny and a blast to be around. Her cooking is an 11/10. She gave us tons of good tips about what to do/see at all the different stops. I had a birthday during the week and she made it so special. Love you Emma!!!!"

What was the highlight of your charter? Really everything. The trip was perfect and exceeded every expectation. North Sound was probably my favorite spot if I had to pick one.

Favorite memory? Friday sail down from North Sound to Great Harbor as the sun was setting.

Best things about your crew? They were amazing. Exceeded every expectation. She nailed all the meals. Literally every meal we had was awesome. He was a fantastic captain and we really enjoyed their company as if they were part of our group. Next time we go, as long as they are sailing in the BVIs, we wouldn’t want to go with anyone else!

Simon, Maya and Caro,

Simply a magical experience! You are all amazing at what you do… from the calm expert leadership of Simon, to Maya’s 5 star talents in the galley to Caro anticipating our every need. Simply can’t imagine any improving on this experience.

Dirk and Kerri

Amazing adventures- the smiles, professionalism and the FOOD were all off there charts— hoping you visit the Bay Area soon.

Warmest,

Simon, Maya and Caro—

Wanted to thank you each so much for taking us in this week and making us feel so special. The attention to detail you provided to us was first class. Between each of you and the boat amenities we had the best time and vacation together. The time we spent together on this boat can’t be replaced. Again thank you so much for being part of it and making it such a memorable experience

Seth

We had a phenomenal time aboard and greatly appreciate your incredible care, service and hospitality. We have worked with and experienced a variety of crews and I must say you three are world class and made every aspect of our stay dreamy. We hope to cross paths on the water again… Thank you for being so enjoyable and for the care you took with every aspect of our trip.

Much love,

Dear Simon, Ashley & Caro - As a mom with kids away at college, family that's spread out all over, I'm always looking for ways we can make more memories with the precious little time I get to see them.

What an incredible week! Simon, Ashley and Caro, you all have made this experience better than any of us could have imagined. Simon - thanks for being the best pool partner! I really couldn't have won without you. Caro - thank you for so many laugh and shark videos! You are a badass. Ashley - my fellow southern girl!

To squad goals AKA Ashley, Caro & Simon
Thank you for the BEST week. Your attention to detail within each of your departments was unreal. Ashley, your food was EXACTLY what we all wanted. Healthy, tasty, made from scratch, fresh and all still managing to be sugar free at the same time!? Caro/Shark girl... is there anything she can't do? and you've thought of everything before we've even thought of it ourselves! Thanks for the insight into your shark world, It was a real highlight. And Simon, thanks for putting up with our non-stop activities and guiding us to the best spots! They've been unreal and we really feel like we have genuinely explored a massive chunk of the BVI's! It's a lot of boat mooring, so thank so much for the adventure! All the best for future sailing and we hope to see you all again!
Meg
Wow- what a trip!
From the seamless collection at Scrub Island to the exit at Necker - it has been amazing! Your individual and combined skills have created the perfect on and off board experience. You all make it look effortless, but I know that is not the case, and I have so appreciated and enjoyed all the subtle attention to detail - Simon, your care and watchful eye when taking us anywhere, Ashley - your exquisite food! There are no words except I don't eat dessert!!! Caro - Shark Girl extraordinaire, I loved that you picked up so quickly on everyones quirks and that you forced (!!!) me to drink cocktails at 5 everyday and virtually force fed me Ferrero Rocher chocolates!
Wishing you happy sails!
With love and thanks,
Alison
Dear Simon, Ashley and "Shark Girl" Caro,
Words cannot express my gratitude to you all for the last amazing week. From the moment we walked onto the beautifully prepared yacht to the last morning with you, I have felt utterly spoilt! This is not a world that I usually move in, but I could get used to it! Most of all I want to thank you for your kindness, your friendship, and your open hearts.
With much love,
Jonathan xxx
This has been an incredible week - beautiful boat and facilities but most important, the crew - Ashley, Caro, and Simon have been fantastic. Everything thought of, amazing attention to detail, and the food out of this world!!!
Thank you so much guys, we've all had a blast. Loved the shark and Africa videos as well. Of course the watersports was the main focus for some of us, but some serious lounging and chilling out was appreciated by others!
Very hard act to follow for Necker...
Guys - if you're in the UK, let us know. We'd love to see you/host you.
All the best.
Love,
Lil & Mark

Simon, Ashley & Caro
We have so enjoyed being aboard Liquid Sky. It has been an amazing trip. We have had an amazing relaxing trip. The food has been so absolutely spot on. We all have our favorites for dinner. We have got to rejuvenate for a week and you all have pampered us!
Thanks for all you have done as a crew and can't say enough about our time with you all. One of our most amazing trips getting to relax and enjoy island hopping while getting to enjoy!
Best of luck for your season!
Billy, Connie, Mica & Mica
Until next time!!

We got home late last night. Trip was absolutely incredible. Best family trip we’ve ever been on and we have traveled all over the world. The boat was amazing and we absolutely loved the crew. Could not have gone any better and we cannot wait to continue chartering boats in the BVI as this is our new family favorite.

Dear Liquid Sky Crew (Capt. Simon, Chef Ashley & Caro):

Thank you so much for the best vacation ever. The activities arranged, the water sport fun, the delicious food, amazing cocktails, and warm/friendly/attentive service did not go unnoticed or not appreciated! We are counting down until our next catamaran adventure and hope to cross paths again! Thank you, thank you , thank you!

All our love,
The Berg Family

Dear Liquid Sky Team,

Our group of 6 had an amazing time aboard the Liquid Sky celebrating a birthday and New Years!! From the boat to the crew, everything was perfect. Ashley's meals were the most delicious, from the snacks to the homemade breads, fish, lamb and duck, all cooked perfectly, an amazing chef. Caro and the drinks and everything in between, always there when you needed her. Gotta have the chocolate cake shots and the painkillers and order the frozen drinks from Drake the dog; Caro's knowledge of rock skipping was impressive and has inspired Skylar to continue training. Simon handled the boat like the pro that he is. He saved several people and several boats in our short time together. His efoil lessons were just what we needed and he was very kind on the tubing. Most importantly he was able to keep the hot tub running at all times even when it tried to break. An unforgettable trip. Many thanks to the boat & crew!!!

Bill, Tracy, Carson, Skylar, Walker + Sophia

Dear Liquid Sky Team,
First of all, thank you for a wonderful trip! This definitely ranks as one of our best. Ashley your delivery of all the meals every day was incredibly impressive, especially with all our specific requests. When we are home, Doug lets me know if it's worth it to "cheat" off my normal eating pattern and everything was worth the cheat! Simon there are a lot of captains but you take it to another level. I noticed it most when you drove us in the dinghy in rolling seas and literally analyzed each wave and course corrected for a dry ride. We appreciate all the extra tips to get us going on the e-foil, paddleboards, and the awesome choices for snorkeling! You really added a special personal attention to each activity to make it better. Caro well not sure we got your name right, so apologize for that but it wasn't because we didn't appreciate your being everywhere all the time! Your laugh and chill personality made us relax from the moment we stepped onboard. We are sad to leave but we are taking great memories home with us of our incredible trip! Thank you!!

P.S. This is one of the best teams we have been with. You work well together well and compliment each other and it shows!

Lisa, Doug, Maddie & Hanna

Dear "Liquid Sky" Crew!
(Simon, Ashley & Caro)
I can think of no words to adequately share how much we've enjoyed our time together with you. Your professionalism, attention to detail, kindness and warmth made our time aboard such a joy.
Liquid Sky is an amazing yacht. You care for her beautifully. We enjoyed the cinema multiple times for football games & movies. The accommodations were perfect.
Your willingness to place the boat in the most beautiful spots was also appreciated.
While we pack our bags this morning, we will also bring precious memories of you... our new friends!!
With much love,
Laura & Phillip


Dear Simon, Ashley & Caro,
I cannot thank you enough for one of the best weeks of my life! You three are some of the kindest and most thoughtful people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. The food was five star quality. We enjoyed trying to guess what the next meal would be... It was always a great treat for the palate. Simon took us to beautiful destinations every day with great snorkeling and beautiful vistas. Caro spoiled us rotten by always keeping the drinks flowing with a sweet smile. She was always there to bring anything we needed or asked for with a kind word. We wish you the best and the next time we come to the BVIs, you three will be the crew we ask to show us a great time!
May the Lord bless and keep you!
"Seal Team 67" - Scott & Susan


Dear Liquid Sky (Simon, Ashley and Caro),
As we reflect on this past week with you on the beautiful Liquid Sky, we've been nothing less than impressed in every facet of our journey and every interaction with the three of you.
You worked so well as a team. Each of you brought unique skills "to the table" to make the experience so personal and anticipating our every need.
Simon, your constant professionalism and skill made us always feel safe and brings out the best in your crew.
Ashley, you have MAD SKILZ in the kitchen. I was amazed how you made every dish perfect and delicious in that small kitchen, but especially that it was so good but so healthy! You have a gift and will exceed beyond this!
Caro, you were there, patiently, exactly before we needed you, glass or towel (or Heineken 0.0) in hand. I don't think we saw you rest from dawn to dusk! Stay sweet and godspeed in your rest travels.
Our week with yall was truly a gift!
With love,
Steve & Kitty

The Judson family is filled with gratitude for this amazing trip... made FABULOUS by this crew..
Simon, Ashley & Caro... THANK YOU for your gracious care for us this week. I can't imagine anything beating this experience. You facilitated a beautiful 50th birthday celebration for Tim... and gave us all a lifelong memory to cherish.
Cheers!
The Judsons

Dear Liquid Sky Team -
Thank you so very much for an amazing Thanksgiving week for my husband's 50th birthday extravaganza. A special shoutout to Chef Ashley for being the best chef that we've had in 6 different charters. Her Louisiana flavors were a hit with our crew. Also, we've loved every moment with Caro, who fine-tuned every cocktail to our desires but always had a smile on her face. Finally, a thank you to Captain Simon for putting up with our rowdy bunch and keeping us safe and happy on a great trip.. Thank you all again & we hope to see you again soon.
The Kutzkeys

Thank you for a wonderful time aboard Liquid Sky. We had a great time celebrating Scott's 50th birthday! We enjoyed all the anchorages, scootering and became e-foil experts! Ashley's great desserts were worked off with our paddle boarding adventures.
Thank you all again for a memorable week!!
Scott & Kirsten

Ashley, Anton & Simon,
Thank you for such an outstanding week guiding us from St. Vincent to Grenada! Exceptional food and drinks, warm hospitality, and the adventurous spirit was complemented with professionalism and safety gave us all an AMAZING experience! From teaching us how to e-foil, to getting the kids up on the wakeboards for the first time, to helping land a big-eye tuna on the boat, to feeding our faces off, this will be such a timeless memory.
Grateful for EVERYTHING!
Blake F.

The boat, the views, the food - ALL AMAZING!
But it was the people that made this trip truly incredible. Simon, Ashley & Anton were the highlights of each day. Thank you all for making every day feel special. We will miss you.

This trip was awesome. I got to learn so many things. The food was amazing! I loved Ashley’s shroks and Simon did a great job sailing the boat! Anton had so much funny things to say!

It was the best trip I have ever been on. I had so much fun. The best activity was the e-foil. Best trip ever.

This was our favorite charter! The crew, boat, toys, food and sunshine made this an incredible trip. We cannot thank you guys enough for making this trip absolutely perfect!!! Simply put, this was one of our favorite vacations!
Our sincerest gratitude,
The Evans Family

What can we say? Only the best. Simon, Anton & Jamison were the greatest crew (captain, 1st mate, & chef) ever.
We so appreciated the perfect boat, wonderful sailing, well thought out excursions, beautiful & tasteful meals after a nice mixture of seasonal cocktails.
Thanks so much. We love it here!

Thank you to our crew - Simon, Jamison & Anton.
Everything was perfect! The boat has everything you want & more. We will definitely charter Liquid Sky again!
The Cannons
P.S. Your professionalism and commitment to safety and Liquid Sky is commendable.

What a wonderful experience. From the first day to the finish!
Jamison with her professional gourmet cooking - a home run every meal.
Head Captain Simon - maneuvered around the storms and always found a beautiful cove! Always safe with a great sense of humor!
But that Anton character - “Wow what a guy!” A true master of everything - he moves so fast. You never see him move but handles everything without even asking. He’s awesome - 100%!
Joe & Kelly

From start to finish the ABSOLUTE BEST!! How fortunate to get the “A TEAM.” Simon, our faithful captain kept us safe and entertained with a great array of “toys” and even succeeded in almost teaching the men to ride that e-foil toy!! First mate Anton ensured we were well hydrated and kept the boat and all our stuff neat and organized. He is definitely the master of “stupid dad jokes!!” His talent dancing and singing is unparalleled. We laughed all week! Jamison, the most fantastic chef, kept us amazed with every meal. I want to take her home!! Love you all to the moon & Back!
Thank you so much,
Dan + Laura

“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” - Voltaire
Thank you to the excellent crew of Liquid Sky. Simon, Anton & Jamison - you helped make so many incredible memories!
Captain, oh my captain… I admire the Quiet, Gracious & Kind way you interact with the crew. Your attention to detail shows & it impressed us all! I especially enjoyed riding in the pilot house as you pointed out islands and learning stories of your experiences. I also enjoyed the hike on Norman Island, shuttles in the tender, snorkeling the Indians, the truck ride in the pouring rain w/o top over our heads and no wipers, piloting w/ your trips & of course your quick witted dry humor. 🙂
Anton - you are a sight to behold. You charmed & entertained us w/ your stylish table decor, Liquid Lounge beverages & big heart. The essence of your joy will continue to linger in our minds as we remember our fun w/ you! Thank you for keeping us tidy, organized, hydrated, and well hooked up both on shore & with light night beverages.
Jamison, meal time was virtually edible art! We could not wait each day to see, take photos, & eat your artistically displayed platters of fruits, seafood boils, cream sauces & main course masterpieces, warm cookies & dessert. We quickly learned our meals onboard always rivaled any BVI restaurant.
Thank you from the bottom of our full hearts. You were such a blessing to us!
Dana & Steve

The BEST trip ever with the best of friends and the most amazing crew! You guys are awesome. We are so thankful for this time with all of you!

Simon, Ashley & Anton
Thanks for a great trip!
Y’all went above and beyond every step of the way!
Thanks, the Lovetts

BEST TRIP EVER!!! The week went by so fast & I wish I didn’t have to leave! I truly believe that our week went so smoothly because of the fabulous crew who provided any and everything we might need whenever we may need it. Ashley cooked up the BEST food day after day and had me wishing all of our meals were on the boat. Some of my favs were the pancakes, avocado toast, chocolate pie & all the Asian & Mexican dishes (just to name a few). Simon was constantly patient with us, bringing us on any adventure that may come up. Never did I think that by the end of this trip I could say that I swam with dolphins, mastered the wakeboard & waterskis, and snorkeled with turtles, sharks & stingrays. I am so grateful for Simon putting up with our craziness and still cracking a joke here and there. And Anton, whether it be a Liquid Sky or an iced latte, he never failed to have a delicious drink to serve paired with a dad joke. The trip truly wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have Anton waiting for us every time we returned to the boat. I can’t thank y’all enough!
Nora

Our family had an amazing time in the BVI. This was our first time here, and we didn’t want to leave! From our very first day, we were impressed over and over by the welcoming nature of the crew, the delicious food, and the top notch accommodations. Thank you, Anton, for welcoming us on our hot arrival with a cold towel, for leaving our rooms smelling amazing and perfect each day, for tasty drinks, fun trivia, and silly jokes - and the chocolate!! Thank you, Ashley, for making us eagerly await each deliciously beautiful meal. Honestly, we loved everything! - like not even kidding - L.O.V.E! Ricotta pancakes, avocado toasts, quinoa tacos, salmon, and the DESSERTS!! Thank you for all of your food thoughtfulness & love. And Simon… what can we say?? Thank you for letting us swim with the dolphins!! Taking us wakeboarding, teaching us to waterski, pulling us recklessly on the biscuit, hiking with us to the bubbly place and not letting us fall off a cliff, helping JoAnn finally see a turtle, trying to find sharks, making the wind perfect so we got to sail twice, being a cool captain who steers with his feet, and just an all-around great - and occasionally funny - guy. We loved sharing this week with all of you and we wish you all the best in your future adventures!!
With love, The Rossi Family

To Simon, Ashley & Anton,
The Liquid Sky is a gorgeous girl, second only to its stellar crew!
Simon’s quiet confidence skillfully brought us throughout the gorgeous islands of the BVI. 🙂
Ashley’s meals were one “chef’s kiss” after the next. I can only imagine what great things are ahead in your career!
And Anton, your endless optimism & positive energy are the best I’ve ever seen!
Together it makes for an incredible week!!
Thank you for an amazing adventure!
Jamie & Janice

Capt Simon, Chef Ashley, Chief Stu Anton,

Trying something new is always a bit nerve-wracking - didn’t know what to expect, what to pack, etc.! But I can say this… pack simply, literally bathing suits, cover-ups, flip flops, sandshoes, a hat! And the rest is just glorious due to the natural surroundings, adventures, and the imagination of the crew and you. Never had a more “chill” experience with hubby and dear friends. Our new friends “the crew” made the trip even more amazing - great conversations, feeling of safety from our captain’s most incredible meals made with love from our chef, and never ending impeccable service, cocktails and jokes from the one and only Anton!
Thank you for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
Much love, Dawn

Great great great
This was an amazing trip!
Thank you, Neal

The whole crew were exceptional with everything they did. The trip was amazing! Thank you for everything.
Mike + Roper

Cheers to the best crew. Thank you for providing the best hospitality and energy and scenery. I will definitely return!
Peace love and happiness
Deb

We had an amazing trip on Liquid Sky, a trip of a lifetime! This would not have been without the wonderful crew and the high level of service they provided. Everyday was perfect! Our highlights were the sailing from one destination to the next, The Baths and the water toys!

Thank you for an amazing time!

Christmas week on Liquid Sky is much more than anything that Santa could have put under the tree. Simply put, on a scale of 1-10, this trip was an 11. Liquid Sky was the perfect platform for our family holiday. Space enough for everyone to enjoy, with all the right water toys for the more adventurous.

Of course, what makes a really successful charter is the crew. Liquid Sky crew is at the top of their game. Professional, approachable and tons of fun. Simon, Amber and Anton were exceptional.

Simon kept us safe and well informed and built the perfect itinerary for our cruise. Amber was a wizard in the galley, her food was amazing and portions were perfect. If we could bring her home with us, we would. Anton kept the drinks and jokes flowing and energy high throughout the trip. As a team, their skills, passions and personalities blend perfectly. Bravo, bravo!

We all had such an amazing trip from the hikes to the scuba diving, and even Phi beach club, every adventure was an unforgettable moment.  The crew was spectacular. Always so attentive, friendly, and fun.  Tiago, Dylon, Jess, and Max we will be back.  Thank you for your hospitality and adding to all our wonderful memories.  The food was Michellin stars every single time breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  We've never had more amazing food than on this trip, thank you!Will definitely be trying to recreate that twisty bacon.  Thank you everyone it has been fantastic!!

Love, 

Kylie, Jacob, Ashley, Tom, Matt, Grace, jess, and Bess

Tiago, Sarai, Dylon & Max,

WOW! What an incredible week in Sardinia and Corsica… The four of you brought the magic of warmth in hospitality from knowing all 8 of our morning Barista orders :), finding the perfect snorkelling coves and anti-fogging our masks, to Uber dinghy'ing us ashore. You never missed a moment, even in the motorised donut!! Dylon - we cant thank you enough!

Max - your food was exceptional!! Beyond!! Every meal was better than any restaurant on land with the best view.  

Sarai - you are a master of many wellness talents - flavoured waters, to your mixology with Myrthe (sp?), to any yoga to start our mindful day. You are multi talented.

Tiago - you stealthily changed course to get us to the calmest waters and best spots, to cheering on Spain in the world cup. Your captain energy is the best!! 

Thank you for the BEST trip of our lives.

We truly appreciate dedicated professionals like every single one of the crew. Tiago, thank you for choosing prime spots in Sardinia and Corsica, thank you Sarai for making sure we all had drinks and especially for the coffee. Dylon, for the great foil lessons and snorkelling spots. And last but DEFINITELY not least, Max for the amazing food that almost made us feel guilt for eating out of the boat.

We hope that all of you live a happy and well lived life if our paths don't cross again. We'd happily welcome you in Brazil whenever. We hope we meet again!

To the best crew ever!

Tiago, Dylan, Kiki, and Julianna, you are all amazing! This was by far the best spring break we have ever had! We don't want to leave you! Your hospitality, kindness, professionalism and smiling faces are unmatched! You made this trip unbelievable. Best drink and food ever. Kiki, Mia really isn't kidding about having you make her wedding food. We will follow you around the world! We are sad to leave but will be back. We also hope to get you to Wisconsin.

Love, 
Lloyd, Katie, and crew

What a gift this time has been for our family memories we will carry forever.

Dear Captain Tiago, Kiki, Dillon, Julianna,

What an absolutely unforgettable week! The 8 of us arrived excited for an adventure, but none of us could have imagined just how incredible this experience would be because of all of you.

Captain Tiago, thank you for guiding us smoothly and safely while making everyday feel effortless and fun. 

Dillon, you were always there with a smile ready to help with anything and everything that made our trip so perfect. 

Kiki, your cooking was truly 5 star. Every meals was a masterpiece and something we looked forward to each day-better than many of the restaurants we have been to!

Julianna, you spoiled us from morning to night with kindness, attention to detail, and the most creative cocktails that always seemed to appear right when we needed them- and even when we didn't!

Together, you made us feel completely taken care of - like kings and queens for the week. Thank you for the laughter, the hospitality, the incredible food and drinks and for creating memories the 8 of us will cherish for years to come.

With heartfelt thanks and appreciation, your very spoiled group of 8!

The best boat with the best crew!
Our second time on Siete Mares was even better than our first time. We anticipated this trip during 2025 because we knew how special this would be. 
Bastian, Sarai, Sylon, and Kiki created such a beautiful, relaxing, joyful experience for our family - a truly treasured time for us. We will always be grateful for the thought and effort put into each day. you are all so attentive and thoughtful in your details. 
We are already looking forward to our 3rd trip together

-The Rules

What a spectacular week aboard Siete Mares with the most amazing crew ever! From sunrises to sunsets, every day was filled with adventure, efoiling, sea scooters, stand up paddelboards, kayaking, waterskiing, scenic hikes, and the grounding, soul centering yoga practice led by Sarai. Each experience felt perfectly curated and balanced, exhileration and calm in the most magical way. 
And then of course there was Kiki's food - simply unforgettable. Every meal somehow outdid the last with imaginative tablescapes and stunning presentations that made each gathering into a celebration. The flavors, the creativity, the care - pure artistry. (And the never ending, self filling snack baskets, legendary)! 
The Coopers

Wow! Thank-you so much for the most amazing trip.
You guys are fantastic and we don't think we will ever find a crew as thoughtful as you.
You literally thought of every detail to make the experience perfect... you made our vacation unforgettable! We will cherish the memories we made on this charter forever. From the impeccable meals, yoga morning sessions to the unforgettable scenery, we really loved every second.
The perfect boat, the best crew, thanks so much again!

This was such an amazing trip for our family. Best crew EVER!! You all bring a beautiful + calm energy that permeates throughout the boat + sea.
From the yogi mornings; to the love + passion put into each meal prepared and served; to
the patience + joy sailing +
playing with our children. A special thanks for the thousands of teas brewed + the daily surf reports + guidance. We were able to stay in the moment + share memories that will last forever. The route chosen through the BVIs was perfect.
Much Love

⁠Siete Mares family,
Thank you so much for another incredible week in the BVI. Of course the boat itself is
incredible. We had all the space + toys we could possibly need. But more importantly,
you the crew helped to make this another unforgettable time for our family. You
prepared + predicted for our every need. We loved learning to use the e-foil, snorkeling
in every possible spot, and the yoga was an amazing way to start the day on the boat.
This is our third vacation with you and each trip has been better than the last. Thank
you so so much for creating another wonderful family week for us.

Thank you for your generosity, kindness and warmth during our stay with you. The love you showed touched our hearts deeply. We also felt the deepest sense of nourishment to be in your care. From Davide’s creative, delicious and colorful spreads to Bastian’s skilled and grounded leadership, to Chanry’s sweet, cheerful and loving support and Sarai’s sweeping foresight and passion for hospitality. To be with all of you is to feel safe and at home. Props to William as well for capturing the beauty of your vessel and connecting us all. We were honored to be a part of the journey. Wishing you all the blessings and good fortune. Thank you again for having all of us.

Our charter experience this past week can only be described as perfect. The boat is gorgeous, impeccably decorated, and maintained, and every second we spent here was a joy. The real star of our trip was the crew, who we can’t thank enough. From Bastian’s captaining, Chanry’s service and wine pairing, Sarai’s bartending and yoga practice, and Davide’s incredible meals, each crew member is a true master of their craft. We were deeply impressed by the confident grace with which you all worked. Congrats on a successful first charter with Siete Mares, thank you for making it special, and here’s to many more in the future!

Bastian & Sarai - From the moment we stepped onto this beautiful vessel, we could not have felt more welcomed by you both. To say that this is just a 'bucket list vacay' does not touch the surface of this amazing week. The food was DELICIOUS! Even with all of our picky likes and dislikes, Sarai was able to "WOW" us all with her amazing meals. Bastian dazzled us with his abilities to make the best cocktails, as well as being a superb captain, taking us from island to island. 

We could not have asked for a better crew. You have been the key to making our vacation an adventure of a lifetime which we will never forget. We have enjoyed our conversations with you both, and are in awe of your worldly travels and experiences. We would love for our paths to cross again some day!

Dear Bastian & Sarai,

Reflecting on our 40th Birthday journey in the BVI will forever bring a grin to our faces and a glow to our hearts. 

Bastian, your skills in navigating the seas were nothing short of impressive. Your calm demeanor and leadership was very appreciated as it helped relax our group.

Sarai, your culinary wizardry had us convinced we were dining at a Michelin star restaurant on the high seas. I swear your poke bowl had us singing its praises louder than the ocean waves. Somehow you read our minds when prepping our menu. 

As you both continue on your journey, we wish you nothing but smooth sailing and endless culinary delights.

What a fantastic week. All of our expectations of having an incredible week have been met. So much love, laughter & crazy activity every day – always with a smile, joke or conversation. The food!!! Incredible & Jamison outdid herself. This has been a great way to celebrate our 30th anniversary with all of our kids. We appreciate it more than you know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you – we are so blessed to have had this experience.

Until we see you again,

– Denise 

Fantastic week. Thank you very much for taking such great care of us! Exceeded expectations! Can’t wait to do it again someday!!!

Amazing week with an amazing crew!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better week & a better crew! Every single one of you helped make this trip unforgettable! We couldn’t be more thankful for all the hard work you all put into this trip. We wish you all the best & hope to be back on the Aeolus with you guys again in the future!

Thank you!!

– Lindsay

– Connor & Alex ♡

Thank you for giving our family one of the best trips of our lives. From the first day to the last, every single one of you made us feel completely cared for and made our kids feel like the most special guests on the water.

Keith, your calm hand on the helm made every passage feel safe and comfortable, and you knew all of the great spots.

Jamison, the food was out of this world and every meal felt like a celebration. Teaching the kids how to make pizza from scratch was a highlight they won’t stop talking about.

Chené, your energy with Lucas and Grace was such a gift from the art and craft to the surprise ingredients in the morning juices. Thank you for being endlessly fun, patient and kind to them. They adore you.

Christo, thank you for making day in the water an absolute blast. The kids call you the “fun guy”; the tubing and the seabobs were amazing and highlights for the kids.

Together, you didn’t just run an incredible boat, you created an unforgettable experience for all of us. Every detail, every touch, every bit of thoughtfulness made the week unique for the family.

We hope our paths cross again someday.

With much gratitude and LOVE

Luis, Greidys, Lucas & Grace ♡

Keith, Chené, Christo and Jamison – Thank you for an incredible week!

Keith, you showed us some amazing new spots in the BVI! Chené, your daily juices and cocktails were such a pleasure. 🙂 Christo, AKA Aquaman, thanks for throwing us off the tube and teaching us to eFoil. Jamison, your poke bowl may be the best and prettiest I’ve ever had. Cheers to sailing again in the near future.

Cindy & Keith

Keith, Casey, Christo & Chene,

Words cannot express how wonderful our week on Aeolus has been. Barry has dreamed of a sailing trip like this for a long time, and celebrating our 40th anniversary this way made it truly special. This has been, without question, the best charter experience we’ve ever had.

Aeolus looked beautiful online, but the real experience far exceeded anything we imagined. The yacht is incredibly well-decorated, comfortable, and luxurious. The crew is simply outstanding.

Every meal was exceptional—creative, delicious, and full of flavor—paired with unique drinks and beautiful table settings. Truly the best food we’ve ever had.

We were 100% pampered. Every request was met with enthusiasm, and the crew was both professional and genuinely fun.

The water toys were fantastic, and we really appreciated the effort you all put into helping us learn and enjoy them. It’s clear you work incredibly well together as a team.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to experience with such a talented crew. You made us feel safe, cared for, and completely looked after. We would love to join you again.

Hugs to all,
Pam & Barry


What a fantastic journey—Aeolus was AMAZING! Every detail was considered and personalized. We felt incredibly special and cared for throughout.

There were so many thoughtful touches that made each experience unique—custom cocktails, beautifully prepared meals, and seamless service. Casey’s creativity shone through in every dish, and Christo’s attention to detail—especially with the water toys—was impressive. Everything ran effortlessly.

Keith—what can we say—an incredible captain. Each day was perfectly planned, and every location felt like the best one yet.

Saturday was especially memorable—so much fun, and every stop was perfection.

Thank you to the entire crew!



Aeolus Crew—

Thank you for taking such great care of us. The yacht was beautifully maintained and perfectly equipped for us to enjoy the trip.

We loved the balance of sailing and cruising through such stunning islands. The attention to detail in every aspect of the experience was clear.

The food and drinks were outstanding and consistently excellent throughout. We felt safe, relaxed, and thoroughly pampered.

The crew worked seamlessly together—it truly shows.

We hope to see you again soon.



Everything exceeded our highest expectations—truly a trip of a lifetime and the perfect way to celebrate a major milestone.

The experience struck the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. From snorkeling and e-foiling to simply enjoying the surroundings, every moment was memorable.

The food, drinks, and overall service were exceptional. The crew made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable.

We were treated like royalty. Without a doubt, the best crew anyone could ask for.

We will absolutely be back.

Our days aboard Aeolus have been truly exceptional. From serene mornings in secluded anchorages to unhurried evenings beneath beautiful skies, every detail felt effortless and beautifully considered. We are deeply grateful for the warmth, professionalism and seamless hospitality that made this journey s memorable. An experience we will long remember. Thank you for everything - Lauren

Thank you so much for making this the most memorable trip ever! The food was amazing, the sailing was fun, the toys were wonderful and the service was great.

Thank you so very much for an amazing adventure, wonderful non-stop food and total relaxation. How you can gift us with all of this at the same time is remarkable! Thank you for the beautiful table settings Chené — you have set a new bar for us. The toys for all the water sports, the music, the food and the friendship made this week a true high point in the memories we will relive many times as we reminisce the joy in our lives. Thank you!!! 
- Ruth 

Words can’t express the deep gratitude I feel for the four of you. It has been a truly remarkable experience on this boat. Every moment has been considered, every meal tailored to our needs and every excursion exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Exactly what our family needed.

Chené, I appreciated every coffee, breakfast juice + mocktail. And the turndown treats were so fun.

Christo, your toys were so fun for the kids. I think this has been the trip of their lives!

Maria, the food was absolutely incredible — the flavours and presentation was always a delight.

Keith — thank you for taking us to so many cool places — Little Harbour was my fave. Thank you for always being so calm, cool and collected (I’m still not sure when/if I should be taking you seriously 😉).

This has been a very special week. We’ll miss you! And thank you for surprising us with Audrey’s birthday and our anniversary.

XO – Charis 😊

We chartered Aeolus in December, just prior to the holidays. Upon arrival, we found a magnificent yacht, maintained to the highest standards. The crew, led by Captain Keith, was just awesome, with First Mate Christo and Stewardess Chene taking great care of us upon our arrival. Casey, the chef, was just absolutely fantastic. Every meal was extraordinary, from breakfast to lunch and dinner.

We took part in every activity that the toys and gear allowed us to enjoy. We kept the crew and Captain Keith very busy with all of our activities. We used the e-foil, the sea bob and the sailboat, and the diving excursions were fantastic. The best part of our activities were actually sailing the boat. Keith took great effort to ensure that we got to sail as much as possible on our trip.

The entire crew absolutely spoiled us - they had a positive and can do attitude and approach for the entire trip. We can’t think of a single thing that could’ve made this trip any better. Our sincere thanks to the entire crew and we look forward to our next trip on board Aeolus.

Jeff

Keith, Casey, Christo & Chene,

Wow – what an amazing trip!! It was truly magical! 💗 You guys are absolutely THE BEST!!!
Your kindness & amazing attitudes made everything that much sweeter. From the gorgeous anchorage spots, to the very creative tablescapes, to the most delicious food where every meal was better than the next, to the plethora of water toys & Christo’s coaching (move forward!!! 😉) – it was all just the best cruise ever.

Your thoughtfulness in every detail makes us not want to leave, but apparently the next charter group doesn’t want our company!
The icing on the cake is the fantastic video & we will treasure it forever. Thank you!

You are the best crew & made us feel like family, while also spoiling the heck out of us! Looking forward to next time!

Love to all of you,
Jeff, Karen & Connor


 

Dear Keith, Chene, Christo and Casey,

You are the best of the best. Having been to the BVI 10 to 15 times, I simply couldn’t imagine how great a trip with you could be!! Just beyond any expectations.

Thank you so much for making this such an amazing trip. I loved talking and getting to know all of you. I really appreciate everything you guys did to make this a once in a lifetime experience. Ms. Chene, thank you for being one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and your iced tea was by far the best I’ve ever had.

Mr. Keith, thank you for being such an amazing captain and taking us to so many cool spots. Ms Casey, thank you for cooking some of the best food I’ve ever had, I always looked forward to lunch, happy hour, and dinner (and I loved the breakfast I got to eat when I woke very late).

Thanks so much for all you did to make this an incredible trip. You are the kindest, most professional and fun people anyone could hope to meet.

We have travelled the world together as a family and this trip by far is our most memorable and favorite. From the scuba certifications to the fine dining to the endless laughter from the water toys to the beautiful tablescapes and never ending strawberry daiquiris to the warm smiles from AM to PM. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your four are gems as humans and we are lucky to have spent time with you. May our paths cross again in the future. With tons of love.
- Dani & Adam

Dear Aeolus Crew,
We had a great time, we loved it. One thing we loved is the places we visited. Another thing is the food and the water toys. Another thing I liked is doing the bubble maker.
Coco - Age 9

Dear Aeolus Crew,
We had a great time. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery you guys took us on. We appreciate the great service and kindness. We all loved the water toys and the scuba. 
Thank you.
Max - Age 14

Dear Aeolus Crew, 
We all appreciate you guys complimenting us on our manners. The locations we visited were truly astonishing. Also, you were so willing to get a drink or bring out a water toy. You were very accommodating and made us feel right at home.
Jake - Age 12

"To the AMAZING Aeolus Crew - This was an absolutely amazing week!! Every single detail was perfect!! The children had a blast and can't wait to come back #missionaccomplished!
Casey - the food was divine! A culinary experience to say the least! My favorite meal was the lobster, the best I have ever had! You managed to have our children cleaning their plates at every seating! Another mission accomplished. Thank you for all your hard work on our bellies behalf. Only wish we could have seen you more. 
Chene - "Pleasure" doesn't even do you justice! Your kindness cannot be matched and the mixology of ALL things incomparable! Thank you for taking such good care of all of us and laying down the law with our kiddos! Your personal touches were the icing to the memories we will take with us. When we get a boat #youarehired
Christo - Thank you for making the kids' watersporting dreams a reality! You went above and beyond to make sure they knew what they were doing, were safe, and got better every day. I'm happy they figured out the water cannon on their own. You also made each dinner such a delight with your lighting expertise! #youarealsohired 
Michael - Kudos to planning the perfect itinerary! You certainly catered to our watersporting desires. I hope we made this charter memory a lasting one. May the mark of Knox bring a smile to your face when you think of us. You played doctor more than you needed to and filled our brains with boating knowledge we will hopefully need one day! Good luck on your land journey! 
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts" - The RayBaums

"Words can not truly capture the immense gratitude we feel for the extraordinary crew of Aeolus! To Captain Michael, Chef Casey, First Mate Christo, and the Delightful Chene, our hostess.

Captain Michael's steady hand on the wheel kept us safe and sound amidst the wild beauty of the seas! You are a master of the high seas! Chef Casey, you are nothing short of a gastronomic wizardess! Every meal was a feast for the senses and each dish crafted with love and creativity. Your culinary prowess made every moment at the table a delight!

Together you make an unbeatable world class team. Thank you for creating a lasting world class memory for us all!" -Jim & Stacey, John & Crystal, Jackie & Steve, Margie & Dan

"Thank you Michael, Casey, Chene, and Christo for a most memorable holiday week. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived to the last morning. We lived in luxury, ate like kings, drank works of art, and learned that laughter on the water was the perfect way to spend days -- much of that laughter was watching each other try to master the e-foil. Each of your talents -- Michael's leadership, Casey's magic skills in the kitchen, Chene's wonderful ability to mix drinks and anticipate every need, and Christo's fabulous energy as he met our every water sport need -- created the perfect trip. The Aeolus winds made the weather just the right amount of sun and clouds too -- All Magical!' - Fondly Matt & Bobbi Hapgood

Michael's leadership and sense of humor, Casey's talents as a chef as well as her continuous thoughtfulness, Christo at the ready for anything we might need as well as being there where the crew needs him and all with a smile! Chene's positive energy and smiles as she tended to our friends and family made every morning bright and sunny! The whole crew made us feel at home, and had lots of patience with every experience. My 60th birthday celebration was so special and makes facing this next decade with ease! beach party and decorated boat with the most delicious birthday cake! Our son's proposal to his girlfriend was pulled off as a beautiful surprise due to every detail the crew took care of, it was unbelievable!" - Kathie & Mike Gianoni

"We cannot thank you all enough for making this the BEST vacation ever!! Everything was absolutely perfect. The food, the views, the watersports, just everything. Every detail was accounted for and the trip was so special. An extra special, huge THANK YOU for giving Mitch and I the greatest proposal we could imagine. It means so much to us, and we are so happy that a really cool crew like you all were a part of it all. Aeolus and the crew will be a part of this memory and special moment forever.

Thank you all!!!" - Mitch & Angie Gianoni

Thank you for helping celebrate Aunt Kathie's 60th birthday and MItch & Angie's engagement!! Thank you so much for the best week ever!" - Matt & Jenn Gianoni

"Aeolus, God of the Winds. A beautiful boat for sure. But good ol' Aeolus has nothing on the crew cause they're the best in the biz! Captain Michael rocks, he can sail, scuba dive, recover sinking hats and foil backwards! Christo has a smile from dawn till midnight, even when he's back flipping off the mast. Casey is a chef and planner extraordinaire, every meal is a wonder of flavor and goodness. Chene looked after every need and want and made some awesome cocktails! Together they made a fantastic team and the best vacation ever. - Gods of the USVI and BVIs, we thank you! Come see us in Charleston - The Mooneys"

To the amazing, marvelous, happiest crew of Aeolus, What an incredible week! Thank you for making our first voyage super incredible. Every single detail was noticed! Every meal was prepared and served so beautifully and delicious! Mr Boor fell in love with Bob and I fell in love with the boat and your hospitality! You truly are wonderful souls. We are so blessed and thankful to share our bucket list with y'all. Looking forward to spending another trip with you! - The Boors" 

It feels just like yesterday we stepped onto this beautiful yacht, but also in such a short period of time we've had so many experiences and been introduced to so many beautiful places and the water! Thank you for making our first charter the most amazing experience we could have hoped for, including our night-time adventure which now has Jay believing he's a full-time captain from here on out!
Michael, thank you for getting us to all our destinations safe, and for the history lesson on the islands along the way, and for putting up with Jay's never ending questions about boating & the seas! Be ready for next year, Jay will be coming aboard with a year of boating research under his belt after this adventure! Casey, every meal was beyond beautiful! We know your cuisine was magic when the life jackets got too snug at the end of the trip. Josh, thank you for night chats and stories, great to get to know you and best of luck on your new boat, Captain! Nicole, you always knew what we needed without us knowing it! Your little touches and attention were so sweet and made us feel like royalty. Thank you for keeping our pale Canadien skin protected at all times! Best of luck on your next adventure with Josh! Love us both - Jason & Stephanie

We can't thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of us on our first boating trip! You are so amazing and made us feel at home the whole week. We truly appreciate all of your hard work and attention you gave us, from our little treats on our beds, to the best food ever, to taking us to quite the dive bar, and making sure we stopped at all the perfect spots on the islands! You were so fun to be around and I'm pretty sure Jimmy would love to become part of your crew! We will definitely miss having fun in the water and playing with all the toys on the boat. There's no doubt that we'll miss all of our gourmet meals when we head back to NYC. But most of all we wish you all the best on your upcoming adventures and travels and know that anyone who comes aboard Aeolus will be very lucky! -Jen & Jimmy Wilent

Thank you all for the perfect cruise. All of us on Aeolus this trip either own or have owned boats of our own and we know what it takes to deliver a special experience and you did that and more. Michael, your can do, laid back style sets a wonderful tone for the Aeolus crew. Josh, we all wish you huge success in your next role as Captain. It was great that we got to see you in action for one of your last trips, go get em! Nicole, superb, sweet, smart, and all over it. Enjoy your new gig and we wish you well in your endeavor. Continue your Adventures! Casey, you spoiled us. Every meal was delicious and special. Great job and now diet time!

"To the amazing, marvelous, and always happy crew of Aeolus - You have exceeded every expectation that I had for my family's first maiden sailing voyage. This 'forced family fun' trip was truly everything I imagined it would be PLUS more. Each of you has a true special gift and you so generously shared with us. Your patience, kindness, knowledge, your caring, and true love of what you do shone through. Every little detail was noticed by Nicole, every special meal request by Casey, every water toy wish by Josh, and Michael the scuba, sailing, and patience with all aboard! You are wonderful people and we are blessed to have spent this Easter week with you!" -- Maja

"Casey - You are an artist with food! Simply Amazing! We all had too many favorites and could not agree on the winning dish. Thank you for being so accommodating with so many special requests! Nicole - you have the best people skills that I've seen in hospitality! You are truly gifted and go the extra mile every time! Josh - your happiness is infectious; you truly enjoy every day and you make this job look like fun!! Gratitude comes easy to you and it shows! Michael - I'm so glad that you traded in Finance for this amazing profession. Your peace and tranquility is a very important quality in this business! Thank you for introducing scuba to my family. I will be forever grateful! To the owners - Thank you for sharing this amazing vessel! As guests, we only see the top 1/3 of the iceberg and know how much work it is to create Aeolus! You've done a great job! The crew is a ten out of ten! Thank you." -- John

Heaven on the Seas! Wow, it is difficult to imagine a more stellar week on the water. The Caribbean islands and island hopping done to perfection. Thank you Supreme Naval Commander Cottrell for a lights out week! Captain Michael, Casey, Josh & Nicole, thank you for a refined, lovely, gastronomically fantastique and beverage heaven on water. From the underwater scuba paradises to the e-foiling highs and lows, this trip was a flat out blast!! There are simply too many extraordinary, fun, and outrageous sunsets, mornings, swims, etc. to mention. It was a week of giant W's. Thank you Commander for a visit of smart & fun hilariousness and lifelong comraderie and friendship. This was truly a memorable week of limitless superlatives! - W

What a beautiful week. The blessings bestowed upon all of us from Nicole, Michael, Josh and Casey were unbelievable. Nicole - thank you so much for the care you provided this week. You went above and beyond to show us love and care. Your love notes and flowers on our pillows brought me so much joy. Most importantly? I see that you take this seriously and actually love what you do here. It’s so nice and refreshing to see that! Thank you for being you. Casey - I don’t know where to start. Can I whisk you away so me and my family can enjoy your cooking? You had to accommodate so many different dietary restrictions and you did it with so much ease. Everything was superb. I pray in this lifetime I get to experience your cooking again. Thank you. I pray you create a cookbook of all your superb dishes… Josh! Thank you so much for your sweet and calm spirit. I see you working hard and being so present with us with the little things. Thank you for keeping us safe and ensuring we have fun. Continued blessings to you! Michael! Thank you for being our guide, for keeping us safe. Your humor daily was a joy to be around. Thank you for driving this boat with ease and getting us to where we needed to go. I also see your care and compassion for others. People look to you always for direction without knowing you because that’s who you are: a leader. Keep living your dream. If it wasn’t for Brandi and Steve we would have never been able to experience all of your beautiful individual talents. Cheers to Brandi and Steve for choosing the most amazing crew! With love always - LaShawn. 

Aeolus crew! Wowza. Best week ever. Thank you so much for all the fun times! I enjoyed the food so much. My tummy has never been this happy. Thank you to Casey for making amazing food to keep me on my macros. Huge thanks to Michael and Josh for being great tour guides and also educators of the land! In addition, Nicole!

See you soon. Much love and light and laughter - Jenna.

The crew of Aeolus is simply amazing! Everything about this trip has been a true journey! Captain Michael is a very capable seaman. He has a great sense of humor and hits every curveball out of the park. Josh quietly works to keep all the toys within reach and is ever present with a warm smile and a helping hand. Nicole will hand you a cold drink. She is a true alchemist, and an expert group facilitator. She keeps everyone’s spirit up just by walking in the room! Casey Casey Casey - oh my - you are a true delight and master chef. Thank you so much for all of your care. You did crush it! Thank you Aeolus Crew! I feel like you really “saw us”. I wish you the very best on your personal journeys. Mental hugs - Rhonda. 

You all provided exceptional service and trust for my first time in the U.S.VI + BVI. You were all so caring, patient, friendly and professional. Words cannot describe being in your presence for a week! Casey, I applaud you for making my meals vegan and being so great at it. I am a big foodie, your meals have been the best I’ve ever had. I know you worked tirelessly to feed us and you’re seen for that. Nicole, your service is beyond first class. You treated us like queens and your drinks were the best thing I’ve ever had! The notes you left on my pillow is something I’ll take home with me to do in my household. Josh, you are quiet but you are seen for all of your hard work, physical work and making this trip so smooth and flawless - you are acknowledged! Michael, you also made the entire week flawless and your patience, humor and personality didn’t go unnoticed. You made a group of seven ladies who have control issues feel 100 percent safe, secure and at peace. Thank you all for your expert concierge! Thank you for the diet accommodation for myself, thank you Nicole for the amazing dance moves and thank you to the boys for making us all feel comfortable. Until we meet again! - Laurel 

This was a trip of a lifetime with 5+ star crew. Sharing a week of adventures with The Lady Sirens was a blast. An amazing group of ladies, leaving as friends with stronger bonds. I can’t thank the crew enough. They made the week flawless. Make a request and they would make it happen. Casey - thank you for the amazing food. You covered us… we never went hungry. You quickly learned preferences and accommodated them with ease (well, you made it look that way). I wish I could even come close to the amazing, healthy meals and treats you made. True talent! Nicole - you are fabulous at your job. The energy. The service. Your notes of appreciation to encourage us. Always there picking up after us. Making sure I had ice water at all times. I wish I could bring you home. Josh - you tend to work in the shadows, but never too far away. I see the hard work you put in each day helping out your coworkers. Michael - you were an awesome captain. I will always remember you bringing out the map to show us the next day’s plan. Thanks for helping to make CrossFit workout happen! You’re the best. I have so much gratitude for all of you. I don’t have the words to express what you have given me. So many memories… a lifetime of them. I am so glad and thankful Brandi hosted this amazing trip/retreat. It was needed more than I knew. The crew made this adventure manifest to more than I could ever even imagine. Keep being amazing! - Candace

Thank you both for being such kind and thoughtful vacation planners, our trip was wonderful. We made a lot of memories together and are grateful for everything you did to make it happen! Here are a few of our favorite memories: Gumption and all he entails: entrepreneur, DJ, Tour Guide, Lemur expert, photographer, and promoter! Michael's pants being assaulted by the chair in Anegada; may they find the courage to be worn again in public. Billy Ocean and Casey's bellowing laughs on Murder Mystery Night. Mom and her lost and found jewelry and hat nearly being blown to Puerto Rico. Of course we will always miss and remember Casey's delicious food. Thanks for being so flexible with us; it's going to be a sad farewell at the end of this vacation. We wish you both well in your next adventure and hope to see you on the islands next season!
- The Wusterhausens

After our last charter, I think we all wondered if it was possible to match that experience...you guys exceeded it!! This was an amazing week with you both and it was so needed after a crazy, challenging few years. Casey, the food and service was perfect - we'll all be thinking of you when we're back in the gym. Thank you for making it amazing!! Michael, the quiet competence with a side of Texas sass. You did such a great job being our Captain, host, and guide. Thank you - we'd follow you both to any boat or place. This place is special to all of us and you made it more so. Thank you for taking such good care of us.
- Matt & Leni

Thank you both for such an amazing and fun trip.
- #10 & #12 chair champs Derick & Shannon

Michael you were a good first mate, Casey you were an amazing Chef. Thank you both for an amazing charter. You made the experience!
- Chase & Taylor

We stumbled aboard late, tired, stressed, and excited to start our week. Within the hour we were casually laughing and getting into the groove of the vacation of a lifetime. Words cannot express our thanks for all the delicious food, special cocktails, patience, jokes, and most of all just taking care of everything so we just had to sit back and relax. Everyone agrees: Exceeded our Expectations!
One thing is for sure, this trip would have not been as amazing, fun, and memorable without our Crew - Michael & Casey. You are the VERY BEST. We feel so lucky to have selected Liquid Zen and spent our week with you. Can't thank you enough.
The Booze Cruise - Jenna & Keith, Meredith & Matt, Meredith & Derrick

What a ride (literally)! Our Iowa YPO group will forever remember your phenomenal hospitality. The week couldn't have been more perfect from the beautiful spreads of delicious food, the humor sprinkled in with fun music, flexible timing for our excursions, and tolerance for our "wild ones." You have found your calling and we are fortunate to have been your guests. We greatly appreciate your smiles, your never ending friendliness, and the quick-witted comments. We wish you the best because you are the BEST. Hope we get to do it again sometime! You've opened my eyes to a whole new world. Thanks for everything!
-Mike & Ann, Josh & Brooke, PJ & Jeanne-Marie, Chris & Nicole

Friends,
It is difficult to re-create unique and magical moments. Congratulations, you did it! This has been an amazing week. The two of you go above and beyond to create the best experiences. We will leave with hearts full. The beautiful stops, yummy meals, exploring, and lots of laughter. As a group we had several discussions on how we really enjoyed getting to know you both more. You both are precious! Thank you for Everything! Don't you dare come to Florida without stopping to see us in Ocala!
Love Angie, Clint, RJ, Todd, Nicole, and Nay

This trip was absolutely incredible and that is because of y'all! It was like being at summer camp with the two most fun counselors. You guys kept us in line with good suggestions and lots of delicious food. It was so awesome getting to know y'all, learning cool stuff about the islands, exploring new spots, and so much laughing. Casey - you're an amazing chef and the kindest person. Michael - you're an effortless captain and hilarious person. Thank y'all so much for making the week so awesome. We hope to boat with the two of y'all again soon - maybe we can find a few more merch stops!
- Amy & Jon, Chris & Brit, Eric & Monica, & Barry the Barracuda

Where to start...a million thank you's aren't enough for what has been the very best vacation ever! You've far exceeded our every expectation!! Casey - Wow! So impressed with every single meal...I bow to your greatness as your crab cake is way better than mine! 🙂 you are the master of mise en place!! Michael - your'e a gifted captain and instructor. I so appreciate the scuba lessons and next year will get to the bottom.
Wishing you both a very relaxing offseason, safe travels, and precious time with your families!
- Laurie & Stephen

Thank you for the perfect 25th anniversary trip! Both of you made the whole experience far beyond our dreams! Casey, we don't want 'french trained' cuisine ever, we just want your amazing 'Chiefdom'!! 🙂 Captain, my Captain - Michael what an amazing leader and host you are! Thank you so much for your patience with my scuba anxiety and your tolerance for our husbands! We cannot thank you enough for all you did this week!
We will miss you both!
-Laura & Joe

"To say this was the trip of a lifetime doesn't even come close to the true experience that you two created for our family. Our two families, though separated by distance, have been coming together for years, and this is by far the BEST trip we have ever taken. The attention to detail, your kindness, and patience truly stood out. We all know 100% for sure that we landed the best crew & boat in the entire USVIs. We all can't wait to return to meet again & experience the BVIs with you both. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"
-The Zaps
if you ever need an extra crew member for night watch, you know who to call 😉

"What a treasure it was to be a part of your Liquid Zen world for a week. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this the best week ever!! It is hard to pick a favorite day/memory from the week. The sunset hike, the "icing", the scuba diving, the FOOD, the drinks, pineapple card game, the night time snorkeling, will all be in our hearts forever. Your attention to detail is so impressive. The two of you make the best team and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Grant is already plotting the next boat trip to the BVIS, but we all agree we couldn't do it with anyone but the two of you! Take care and be safe, and we hope our paths cross again!"
-The Coons (aka future Bote Raft Owners :))

"Thank you both for such an incredible experience on Liquid Zen! Even though our parents weren't able to make it, we had the BEST time and honestly wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe icing Brad at least *one* more time). This week truly was the best relaxation that I didn't know I needed.

To Casey: no words other than wow - this trip was filled with the most amazing food and really not sure how I can go back to reality at this point (lol) Thank You! To Michael: Thanks for being such a fun Captain despite our plot to lose the dinghy. Also thanks for initiating Brad into the family by icing him upon arrival. We won't forget these things along with all the other great memories!

We had such a great time hanging out with you both, and feel like we are leaving with two new friends. It's been an unforgettable trip & we can't wait to do it again! (maybe we'll even let our parents join next time haha). Cheers! Love Mollie, Hastings, Emily & Brad

"Thank you for saving our vacation from near-certain tragedy! Not only did we get a great boat, we got an even better crew. You are a great team and top notch across the board. You enabled us to make new friends (including you) while having the time of our lives. Not a boring moment. It is rare to find people in the world who are so good at making others feel so good, have so much fun, and make them eat so much!! We will miss you." -Shaun (aka boat man) & Betty

"What a fantastic week...and unexpected given the inauspicious start having our originally planned vacation canceled the morning of our flights. As it turned out, we were lucky. This past week was better than expected - good time with great friends, of course, but with a nicer boat and (I'm sure) a better crew. You two were great, organizing a fantastic itinerary with unexpected surprises - After Irma concert, massages, Lime Out, Zozos...and what wonderful food!!! Thank You!" - Heather and Lou

"We have lost ourselves in the moment of "today is today." I am hard pressed to think of another time in the last two years when I have felt so relaxed and carefree and slowed down. This was all possible because the two of you made things so easy, comfortable, and your knowledge of the islands and what you knew we would enjoy. There were too many highlights to pick out just one, but what I will remember the most is the belly laughs with the two of you and all our friends. Thank you for absolutely everything!" - Christine & Rob

"Michael & Casey,
Thank you for giving us a week full of experiences and memories that we will remember for a lifetime! From the food that was out of this world, to teaching Shane and Travis to scuba dive, and even showing us the ropes of sailing, we've had the most unforgettable week island hopping around the Virgin Islands!

Both of you have shown unbelievable kindness, grace, patience, wisdom, joy, laughter, and love to not only our family, but to each other! Each of you are truly an inspiration to us and everyone you encounter! Thank you for being such a highlight on our trip and welcoming us to your home with open arms. We hope you have an amazing 2022!

Senior Spring Break – March 2021
‘Everything about this trip was absolutely perfect. Michael & Casey clearly love what they do and their passion shows. After a number of boat trips, this is my all time favorite and we will be back!’ – Monica

‘Thanks for the unforgettable week. Best trip we’ve ever had! Next time you’re in Rains look us up.’ – TA

‘Thanks for the perfect trip for us Newbies! The food and adventures – we will never forget. The attention to detail was on point! Can’t wait to sail with you guys again and thanks for making us “seniors” feel young again ’ – Angie

‘Thank you for an amazing week on the sea and in the sun! Top notch crew, my favorite yet, that didn’t miss a thing. I appreciate your attention to detail and how you went above and beyond on the menu and taking us to places we hadn’t been. You will be missed and y’all make us want to come back!’ - Stacey and Big Nate

"We've traveled all over the world and this has to be our favorite vacation so far! Thank you for taking such good care of us! Michael was a great Captain from working the sails to navigating the dinghy in the dark. Casey - the meals, snacks, and drinks were way beyond our expectations - every meal was the "BEST MEAL" (seriously create a cookbook and make some side $$!!). Our trip has ended much too soon - let us know where you are in a year so we can book another charter with you! If you're ever in Atlanta, you have a place to stay so give us a call (same with Nashville! Come see us & we will take you to Broadway :)). God Bless you in all your adventures!"

Our experience aboard the Endless Horizon was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to a crew who exemplified the very best of professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. From the moment we stepped on board , it was clear we were in extraordinarily capable hands. They anticipated our needs effortlessly , creating an atmosphere that felt both seamless and deeply personal. Whether navigating with precision, preparing thoughtful touches throughout the day, or ensuring every meal and moment was just right, their commitment to excellence never wavered.

What truly set this crew apart was their ability to balance impeccable service with a relaxed and welcoming spirit. They made us feel not only well cared for, but truly at home. Their camaraderie and pride in what they did were evident in every interaction, and it added an intangible magic to the entire experience.

Thanks to this remarkable team, our time aboard the Endless Horizon was not only smooth and enjoyable , but genuinely memorable. We leave with deep appreciation and the hope of sailing with them again.

Jon, Tracy, Mitch & Ulrika,

Thank you doesn’t seem adequate! What a beautiful team! We are so thankful that our plans led us to you. We could not have asked for a more down to earth loving group to spend our week with. Every day was incredible, we honestly couldn’t think of “the best” meal, snorkel, sail… they were all amazing. Ulrika’s love for what she does in the kitchen comes through with every meal. The games night will never be forgotten…

With so much love,
The C's

Dear Jon, Tracy, Mitch and Ulrika,

We sat for a while thinking of something funny and creative to say but maybe it’s all the Aperol Spritz talking (Thank you Tracy). With that being said, thank you for being such incredible people to be on this boat with, for beautiful meals, wakeboarding, amazing snorkeling spots, and all of the laughs. Cheers to great things on the horizon for you all!

Thank you
Lulu and Evelyn

Dearest Mitchel, Ulrika and Tracy!
This was my first time in the BVI and I am BLOWN away! Yes, by the turtles, the ocean and all of the scenery, BUT most importantly by your hospitality! You 4 are the nicest people I have ever met! I appreciated the care you took to all of the details. They were noticed. The best part of all of you is your warm, genuine smiles and laughs.
You are the Best!

Chase and Ed

"Dear Jon, Mitch, Tracy and Dominic. Sailing through the breathtaking waters of the BVI aboard Endless Horizon has been nothing short of incredible. From the first flap of the sails to the sunset anchorages, every moment made better by sharing it with the best of friends and your amazing crew. Endless laughs that made our cheeks ache, snorkeling the crystal clear waters, windswept hair and dance parties under the stars, a trip that you wish would never end. I can say without a doubt Dominic's food is the best I've ever tasted, I looked forward to every meal, bursting with flavour and presentation unmatched. Tracy, your soft spoken elegance and attention to detail, the yummiest drinks, caring for each of us so completely left me feeling incredibly spoiled - Thank you. Jon, your quiet confidence is refreshing and the way you all work as a team is really special. Getting us to the most perfect spots effortlessly. Well Mitch, your sly smile (in a good way) that leaves me questioning, is the water colder, was it a barracuda, how steep is this hike. The sparkle in your eyes and your air of wonderment. A huge thank you to each of you for making this an epic adventure. Until the next voyage.

Quote from Charter Broker on her after charter follow up with guests:

“I had an excellent call with them, and they are genuinely over the moon with the experience they had on board!! They said the crew and the yacht were "perfection," and they cannot wait to start planning another charter with them 🙂 The lead guest commented on how the cabins were beautifully appointed, the water toys package was plentiful, and the crew's service ( especially the food) was incredible! They said they felt truly spoiled and are still floating on air when reliving the memories!”

Jon, Tracy, Mitch and Dom- On one of the most beautiful vessels, in a stunning surrounding, it's "y'all" that will forever be what we remember as the best part of our trip. Your unwavering effort to every detail of our experience, warm conversations from sunup to beyond sundown- and much more than we can say here. Leave no doubt in our hearts that we enjoyed the trip of a lifetime from one of the best crews in the world.

We will absolutely sail with y'all again! We just hope that you have enough milkshake provisions to handle our crew hehe!

Best wishes! The Vaughns (and a few more) Chad, Wendy, Emmie, Jaxson, Cade, Aiden & Casen

“Dear Jon, Tracy, Dominic and Mitch,

Thankyou for a magical week! You are the very best crew! You took such good care of us and we are so very grateful. You’re the Fantastic Four and you are incredibly talented at what you do, and you’re such special people. We’re so lucky to have found you! Every part of the trip was perfect! We loved each anchorage you chose, beautiful spots and opportunity for so much fun. We loved chatting with you about the BVI and your home countries and our random conversations. You spoiled us with many of the best meals we’ve ever had! Every time we sat to eat we were delighted and blown away!

Your endless energy and care was amazing, anticipating our every need, remembering how we like our coffees, ensuring we had delicious beverages when we needed them, joining us for games and backgammon, teaching us to use the toys and even how to make bread! We do appreciate how you made everything so wonderful and fun including a memorable New Year’s Eve.

We loved getting to know you all and look forward to sailing with you all again soon! please stay in touch!
Love Rona, Neil, Sarah, Neil, Aiden, Kat and Anna”

“Thank you for an unforgettable week. it was perfection-from the details of every table setting to the beautiful spots we anchored in. I don’t know how we will eat another meal without mourning the loss of these meals. Most importantly, we love all of you-the new friends we have made. Thank you for it all. Wishing you a great season and we hope to see you all again soon.
-Mara, Baron, Talia, Lili, Ava, Mark and Lona”

“Thankyou for the most wonderful week of swimming, eating and drinking. I can’t wait to come back again
-Talia”

“Here’s to one of my top 5 vacations ever. this time aboard was beyond 5 stars, it was filled with adventure, warm vibes and just ultimate paradise. I don’t know how we’ll manage to tolerate eating any other meals besides Dominic’s. Tracy your sweetness and talent was simply amazing. Thankyou Captain Jon, would never have happened without you, Mitch you’re the best! If you ever make it to NYC or MN contact us.
Thankyou
-Lona and Mark”

Caring, Attentive, Professional, Competent. The boat was kept immaculately clean. The crew were accommodating to all our needs, the boat was very well laid out and everything was smooth sailing. Our chef was over the top with their knowledge, healthy cooking and everything they created was deliciously prepared.

We would rate this trip, crew and boat BIL (“Best in life”).

Overall, the crew went over and beyond!
