We chose Scuba Doo thru Michelle Heyns at Epic Yacht Charter for the number of berths, size of boat, length of cruise, destination and especially the crew after watching several videos. Our crew, Cammi & Charlie, were utterly remarkable in handling the catamaran, tending to our fabulous gourmet meals, taking us many sites to snorkel, hike, relax on the beach, etc., while remaining unobtrusive. Cammi had a freshly made dessert at every dinner; she made pasta on the boat, seriously !! Our beds were made daily and mid-week we received fresh linens. Unbelievable! Charlie is so knowledgeable about sailing, fish, history of the islands, boats. They are a lovely couple with much, much, much sailing experience which is immediately reassuring. And they obviously take pleasure in hosting families.
The boat was first class and in primo condition. read less

We were lucky to have Michelle from Epic Charters guide us in choosing our charter which was great. Michelle was very quick to answer any questions we asked and advised us on any travel question we had. The crew, Gio, Anna, Sam and Rich were great. They worked together to make sure we had a great time. Gio designed our itinerary and was flexible everyday. Anna was our hostess and was constantly available for anything we needed. Sam also assisted in helping us with water sports, transferring in the tender, etc. Rich was an excellent chef and we couldn't wait to see what he prepared each meal. The Tellstar 77' catamaran was luxurious and very comfortable for us and our friends. We had 8 of us plus the crew and there was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the boat. The flybridge was especially relaxing and enjoyable. We can't wait for our next adventure and will be sure to have Michelle at Epic Charters as our guide! read less

Michelle was very responsive, provided all the information we needed before we needed it, and answered our questions quickly. She was great to work with, and the overall experience, beginning to end, was beyond expectations. read less

It was total perfection from the booking and payment process to the actual quality and replication of what was advertised. Will definitely use Epic Yacht Charters for all future sails and recommend them to family and friends without reservation. It takes a little work to get a group together but it is so worth it and Epic makes it easier with their smooth communication and suggestions. Thank you Michelle - the crew of Twin Flame is incredible! read less

Michelle walked us through the reservation process and stayed in front of important communications to ensure our trip was thoroughly planned. And what a trip it was! Allie and Chase on Rendez-Vous are not only a top notch sailing team, they are truly good people who care about their guests. Allie's meals were fantastic - Allie's kitchen always had some excitement and brought anticipation-whether it was brownies or some exotic spice combo, the meals were as spectacular as the scenery. Chase kept us captivated with choices of hikes on shore, snorkeling below and hanging out onboard in between. Both Allie and Chase are easy to talk with and quick to share their knowledge of the history of the area and sailing adventures. We felt safe at all times and they went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. read less

Michelle with Epic was fantastic throughout the selection and planning process and her insight was invaluable and much appreciated. We will work with her again and have already recommended her to other friends. The Ventana is a Lagoon 52 foot catamaran and the boat was perfect for our group. I can’t say enough good things about Captain Kennon and Chef Stephanie. From the food and beverages to the service and itinerary, it was all phenomenal and we felt completely pampered for the entire trip. They worked tirelessly so that we could relax, adventure and truly enjoy our time on vacation. We commented that it seemed not just a job but a true joy for them to ensure that we were happy and having fun. We would love to sail with them again! read less

The Gracious is a beautiful boat and the crew was just as beautiful. My family and I were treated very well during the cruise and Captain Andrew, Chef Michaela and 1st Mate Caroline were the best. The crew catered to our every need, from the daily activities, visiting great sites with views and delicious meals and drinks. The crew made us very comfortable and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. We were so impressed that we started plans for the next trip on the Gracious before we finished this one. read less

Mike and Lizzy are super stars-- we have sailed with them multiple times and keep coming back because of who they are as people and as ambassadors of the BVI.
Lady Fiona is a beaut--she is well suited for families. Lots of space and she has all the water toys. Cabins are spacious and the amenities are beyond what I was expecting while floating on the water for a week.
I can't say enough about the whole experience- the food (amazing), the snorkeling( lots o fish!), the fun ( lots of activities- never bored!). We also did SNUBA BVI while on board- great intro to underwater adventures!
If I could give six STARS, I would! read less

This was our third catamaran charter and second in a row with Michelle as our broker. Her past experience running boats is invaluable. We wouldn't use another company.

After being shut out of the BVI do to Covid the last two years, it finally happened this year. Amazing trip and the Lady Fiona catamaran was fantastic. Captain Mike and Lizzy did a wonderful job and provided 5 star service! read less
