Charter Yacht Specials

What an absolutely heavenly week! It is not often that a trip we’ve taken has actually exceeded our expectations, but this past week with you certainly did! Everything was perfect – the food, as evidenced by our continually cleaned plates, the activities you provided and the Anastasia herself! Most of all, though was the crew! You both couldn’t have been more of a treat. You were so professional, we knew we were in good hands, and such fun! Thank you for an amazing week – we loved being ‘Fun-Seekers’ with you both!

The Tortuga was amazing and accommodations were perfect. Liked all the water toys (“the turtle”) paddle Boards, fishing gear, snorkeling and dive equipment. Amenities (including the AC) were just like a nice resort. Periodic freshening the linens and bathrooms during our trip was an added bonus. Each cove we spent time in was beautiful. Loved the St John scenery. Buck Island was amazing and the lighthouse and bird sanctuary were highlights. The two hikes we did were awesome and loved the white rock beach and petroglyphs.
The diving was epic. Extremely varied and colorful coral were plentiful along with the vibrant sea life. The snorkeling was some of the best we have seen with lots of variety at shallow depths making surface viewing very enjoyable. The wreck at Buck Island was truly memorable. We saw turtles, squid, octopus, eels tarpon, shrimp, rays and several barracuda that supervised several dives from 10’ away along with the normal suspects including angels, parrot fish, damsel fish and tangs. Jace is a patient dive master giving us plenty of time to linger with our GoPro. The chef’s menus were spectacular. Each meal was unique and different and the presentation was top notch including rotating colorful linen napkins and nice placemats. (Sorry about the tie dye one). Always using fresh ingredients and healthy meals. Loved our daily appetizers and drinks of the day or whatever we asked for (expresso martinis and mai tais) Fruit and Snacks were a hit too. We have become fans of Love City and Caribe and hope to find those in Atlanta. We loved sailing with with this crew. They operated our entire trip with ether utmost professionalism and competence.
They were extremely flexible with hikes and options for activities and constantly helping with equipment. They embody teamwork and collaboration. Very Service Oriented, relaxed and laid back. They pay extreme attention to details from the provision list to transportation. They anticipated our needs even when we didn’t know we needed it. The captain has got a great dry sense of humor that makes everyone laugh and smile. The chef is easy to work with and is full of knowledge. We are so thankful for an amazing week and the crew made it special. We will remember this incredible trip forever.

WOW! Such an incredible week. The crew ROCK. From the food to the company and everything in between we had the best week ever. Thanks for getting my husband scuba certified. He's in heaven. PS. Best Painkillers and brownies! We miss you already XOXO

The crew were amazing! My family and I were first timers and we are now counting down the days to our next trip! We adore them. Anything you want they will deliver on!! Can’t say enough about the trip, the boat and the crew!!

"18 months ago we planned our crewed charter to the BVI's and were all set to go - then COVID came. After navigating through 3 different charter boats and several travel dates we landed on Scuba Doo and to the government restrictions our sail was limited to the USVI. Having never sailed the USVI we were excited to sail new locations and see new things. The crew convinced us we would not be disappointed and they were so right! The boat was in great shape and the weather was just about perfect. Not only did we have outstanding travel partners, we visited pristine beaches, rode horses in the ocean, visited St Croix for the first time, jet skied, scuba dived, snorkeled and paddle board. All of this made possible by the crew who made sure everything was perfect for us - especially the amazing food (kudos to Patti) and many MANY perfectly made cocktails. So while 2020 started out extremely crazy with a worldwide pandemic this week has been "paradise on earth" to say the least. We are so blessed.

UI must say that it is difficult to convey just how welcoming and caring the crew were to each member of our family. Clearly the needs of a 10 year old boy, a 13 year old girl, and 4 adults are very very different. And yet, without being asked, both of the crew cared for each of us with the attention that we each needed. To me, a perfect example of their care and concern was when the captain brought out the fishing gear after dinner one night and asked our 10 year old if he wanted to learn how to fish. The delight on that boy’s face when he caught one, mirrored the delight in the captain’s face! It was worth a million dollars. They are fantastic teachers - The crew did the final review of a PADI scuba review course with Steve and me; Megan, our 13 year old, was just certified and they were both there supporting and teaching us with the obvious emphasis on safety. They were clearly aware of our dietary needs and preferences. Both of the crew are superb chefs; the menus were exactly what we enjoy eating and the emphasis on healthy, vegetable laden meals was wonderful. Each meal and snack was beautifully presented; variations on the meals were offered to those who had dietary limitations, and they provided kid friendly variations on the meals. Healthy, clean, food, prepared well by professional chefs - wonderful. The yacht is beautiful, and each area was clean and very well maintained. The kitchen area is kept very clean. Given the complexity of each of the meals, it is important to applaud their food storage techniques which kept the food fresh all week. That in and of itself is difficult, given the amount of food that is needed to feed 8 people several meals and ’snacks’ (which were often small meals) daily, for a week. The crew are, in my opinion, very caring, decent, loving people who are wonderful hosts, sailors and epicureans. I would sail with them again in a heartbeat. All in all, it was a very very memorable week for all of us and we are all very grateful for the opportunity to spend it with the crew and yacht. I’m hoping to do this again some time. It was fantastic.
