Crewed Charter Yachts

The owners should rename this beautiful boat "GRATEFUL" since anyone who is lucky enough to be aboard will be eternally grateful for such a wonderful experience. Captain Andrew, Chef Michaela and First Mate Caroline exceeded any and all expectations for our once-in-a-lifetime vacation in the beautiful BVIs.

The crew is warm and welcoming, the meals we had were beyond delicious, and the boat itself is luxurious and comfortable. The memories we made on this trip will last a lifetime!

I could not have imagined a better trip for our family. We will be forever grateful for your care of us from the wonderful meals, to the itineraries, and of course the water sports adventures. All the boys were able to do and enjoy exactly what they wanted on this fabulous boat. We couldn't have been more comfortable. The rooms are so well appointed, the boat trip was so fun, and the meals-better than any restaurant. It is hard for us to leave. Colt learned so much and will forever be called "Sea-bob." George and I were able to recharge our batteries to start the new year. Our New Year's Eve will forever be a top memory.

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) How can a few words possibly capture what a positive impact the you tow have made on our lives! We knew this week would be a life experience like no other, but we underestimated the amazing friendships we would develop with you both. We are so grateful that we got to experience this with as our incredible guides through the islands. Thank you both for all you did for us, but more importantly, thank you for who you are as people!

What a magical week! Our expectations were surpassed in every way. The accommodation were spectacular, the dining experience was Michelin Star, the SCUBA & snorkeling safaris - so fun. I cannot think of a single detail that was left unattended or a single suggestion for improvement. The best part of the trip for me was connecting with the four of you incredible humans. We enjoyed our conversations and appreciate how welcoming and open each of you are to meeting new people and making us feel comfortable. The birthday party you coordinated was an inimitable celebration and a birthday he will always cherish! He is grateful for your willingness to let him tinker a bit and participate in the sailing. We are grateful that our paths have crossed and I hope we will cross paths again in a sunny and sandy place. When you want to try foiling in fresh water, please ring us up and come to our Caribbean of the north in Michigan. This crew is the BEST!

Mariah Princess III is a fantastic sailing catamaran with an amazing, spacious layout that works really well for enjoying, entertaining and eating! The crew are outstanding! The captain his team ensured that everything went smoothly and that we were able to visit all of the beautiful places we asked to see. The chef did an awesome job handling dietary constraints of several guests while providing delicious, diverse and visually appealing food for all. All the crew were all hugely contributing team mates who all played critical roles in ensuring our group's happiness and well-being.

You have allowed us to have the most special, memorable vacation aboard the Angeleyes with your dedication, thoughtfulness, skill and lovely personalities and i couldn't be more grateful. We have enjoyed the company, the delicious meals and the tending to our wants and needs every step of this trip. The BVI was amazing but they would not be the same without you.

We cannot thank you enough for the last few days. Our family really needed this and you all delivered. We will forever be grateful. We wish you all great days ahead and hope that one day we will all meet again.

Top 5:

Thank you to the chef for the special treatment on my gluten free cuisine! I’ve never eaten such delicious food – ever. Can’t wait for that cookbook someday
Our drinks being served before it was even requested
Scuba diving – one on one instruction and bringing the wild life passion to a whole other level
The captain always had our interest and family first when picking our spots – we couldn’t have asked for a better captain.
The boat was pure class! Every detail thought out for comfort and elegance! The toiletries were amazing and all natural! They were wonderful! ”

WOW. What a perfect week! The food was delicious and the variety amazing. We could not pick a favorite because every day it got better. The first night pizza was over the top! The crew aims to please everyone all of the time. Your patience and cool professional demeanor is exactly what every crew needs. Thank you for the best drinks every day! We love the fact that you became one of us. We are grateful that you put out the truth pad, the sea bobs, the e-foil, and boards daily. We feel blessed to have found the BEST OF THE BEST in the BVI’s to the USVI’s. We will be friends for life. Lastly, thank you for the first perfect dive!

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.

Let me make this simple for everyone reading: the week we spent aboard Liquid Zen was one of the very best, most beautiful, most delicious, most relaxing weeks of our lives. In fact, we are fairly certain that we have never taken a vacation that we enjoyed as much as we enjoyed this vacation. The reason for that, I think, is that normally, when you go on vacation - even if it's a really nice vacation to a really beautiful destination - you still need your executive functions to figure out where you're going to eat and to make reservations and to navigate strange places and to manage the various wants and needs of your guests, etc., etc., etc. But on Liquid Zen, the crew do all of that for you. They *ARE* your executive functions! That leaves you and your guests in the truly unique position of being able to fully, unapologetically, and completely enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the islands, the consistently stunning weather, the expert afternoon cocktails, and the delectable dishes, all from the comfort of this amazing catamaran. Honestly, the day we disembarked from Liquid Zen, we vowed to come back. Today, one year later, we board again for our second journey, and we absolutely cannot wait.

We want to thank you and express our heartfelt appreciation for the memorable week we spent on board Seaclusion! Your warmth, professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail made our vacation truly unforgettable. From the moment we stepped on board we felt welcomed and quickly made to feel right at home. The boat was Immaculate and well appointed and you all went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed including treating us with a outside memorable movie night. Also your guidance and knowledge of the area allowed us to explore the most beautiful and secluded spots in the BVI. Thank you all for making our vacation a trip of a lifetime. We will cherish the memories we made and look forward sailing with you again in the future.

Words don't suffice for the extreme thoughtfulness, delicious food, and stellar service. You have spoiled us this past week! The thoroughness and beauty of detail and perfection was beyond measure. All of your talents are many and supreme. Captain, you are amazing-and have a great sense of humor-not to mention, weirdly capable of many sports and other activities. Chef to be fed by you-truly remarkable food-still don't know how you did it. We think you should package your many delicious dips, sauces, etc! The 3 of you-We are so very blessed to have had this trip with you. Every little thing, Every big thing, every everything was beyond all expectations!
Thank you and Merry Christmas

The Riggs family can’t thank you enough for the kindness, hospitality, patience, and adventures. We wish you smooth seas now and always.

Ether is brand new and is fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens and modern bathrooms. Individual yeti cups for everyone in our group. We loved the cooler of fresh, filtered water each day. Every type of mixer and alcohol we could want for making drinks. Our captain was also an excellent bartender who made perfectly balanced cocktails for us. The chef is a very talented chef who prepared amazing meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We especially loved the beautiful charcuterie boards she would make for a late-afternoon snack. Perfect for when we were hungry coming back from snorkeling or diving. Lunch and dinner meals were perfectly paired with wines. She is also a dive master and we felt very comfortable with her leading us on dives as beginner divers. The captain is a very calm and capable captain. We felt very safe with him and he was very friendly and easy to talk to.

We had the best trip trip EVER!! Can’t thank you enough for hooking us up with A3. From the very beginning the captain anticipated our every need and the chef’s culinary expertise was amazing! They were professional and fit in with us from the very start. Very hard to leave as they had become a part of our family.

A3 was extremely comfortable. The boat was impeccably clean and well maintained. We had plenty of room for the whole family. Cabins were great, even the bunks the girls slept in. Most of us spent our time on the upper Fly Deck where we could lounge with a beverage while enjoying the Caribbean breezes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was an incredible week, mostly because your hospitality made every moment onboard Amaya so special. From the meals to the activities to the local knowledge and sailing skills. It was beyond all of our expectations. The food was beautiful and the BVI a piece of paradise. It would not have been nearly as good without this stellar crew. You 3 made this trip so special onboard Amaya.

It’s hard to put into words how amazing that trip was, but I will try. Here are some thoughts:


First off, the crew was amazing. The captain is great; a wealth of knowledge and experience, great sense of humor, patient (especially with the teenaged boys) and kind. I enjoyed talking with him and thought he took a real interest in our group, which was a bit diverse. He was extremely attentive to everyone on the boat, always asking if we needed anything, and even serving coffee. I didn’t expect that level of service from the captain, but the best thing about him was just talking with him. The deckhand, was a real pleasure. Everyone loved her, the adults and kids. She was fun to dive with and was awesome keeping the little and big kids happy on the water. Very patient and helpful at all times! Since she was always around on deck, I seemed to talk with her the most. I could just tell through our conversations that she is just a really nice, amazing person. A special shout out to the crew for putting up with little kids (8-9 yrs old), teenage boys, and my daughter’s boyfriend who I even find annoying! And, my brother-in-law and I could be just as childish as the kids sometimes too!


The boat was very nice. It was well-kept and clean. Sailing was a lot of fun and we enjoyed when the captain put up the sails and aloud us all to help with driving. I’m not sure we could ever do another boat after experiencing the Tranquility.


The weather was mostly awesome other than some clouds the first day and a bit rougher seas that day. However, it was mostly sunshine all week and very calm.


I thought the captain did a great job designing a route to allow for great diving, but also allow the non-divers get in the water and have fun. We also loved the bars we stopped at – Willy T, Saba Rock, Bitter End, Foxy’s Taboo, Foxy’s, Ivan’s, Soggy Dollar. We also went to the Baths. It feels like we went everywhere anyone would want to go, some places I haven’t even mentioned. I’m not sure what we could have missed.


Highlights:


o Seeing constant smiles on my youngest son’s face all week, as well as his two cousins of similar ages. It was a real joy seeing the 3 of them enjoy the water so much all week long.


o Spending quality time with my brother and sister in law all week that I don’t see that often. I would say the same for the time I spent with my college friend.


o Just sailing from anchorage to anchorage, enjoying the scenery, and mostly relaxing with my wife during those times. We also would find time alone in the morning with our coffee/tea before the rest of our group woke up. The mornings before breakfast when it was quiet was awesome.


o Multiple dives and snorkeling


o Foxy’s and Soggy Dollar


o Best painkiller goes either to Foxy’s Taboo or Andrea on the boat. All were good though and we tried them all! My brother-in-law tried to tell me Ivan’s was the best, but I couldn’t trust his judgement at that point in the day…


Everyone from my group loved the experience. The BVIs are more amazing than I really even thought. Sailing was even more fun than I thought. At the end of the day, the crew made the experience. I couldn’t imagine being stuck on a boat all week with a crew that had a different approach. Thanks so much!

We feel so lucky to have rung in the new year with y'all! We were spoiled beyond belief! Thank you for taking such good care of us, being so attentive to details & making us feel welcomed all week long. You upbeat, helpful attitudes have floored us. We were so grateful! We loved getting to know y'all. I hope to be back soon!

It was amazing! Thanks for making our stay so good. We have sailed, swam, eaten delicious food, played board, admired sunset, listen to music. What else you can ask for? Locations we have dreamed of, the crew was spectacular,
it was a wonderful idea to spend the last day of the year sailing with the family and to have the new year’s eve at sea.
Thanks for making this dream come true. I will treasure these days in my heart. I wish you all the best for the new year!

Our vacation planned with and through Michelle and Epic Yacht Charters was fabulous. It was all we hoped it would be for our family. Michelle proved to be an excellent guide on making our choices of when to go, what boat and what crew would be the best fit for us and our vacation. And she nailed it! Krazy Kat is a beautiful boat perfectly setup for comfort, luxury, activities, rest, and relaxation. Our whole family (8 of us) fit nicely into the spaces on the boat. They have all the equipment needed for fun in and on the water.

The Krazy Kat owner made their best choice in selecting Cam and Jada as the crew for the boat. We feel like we made new friends with them, and we genuinely enjoyed all the time we spent with them during our week in their home. Cam is a skilled captain, and he's very relaxed and easy going creating fun and no stress. We loved the itinerary he and Jada chose for our week - it suited our interests perfectly. We appreciated that he laid out the plan for the day, but allowed for any spur-of-the-moment changes that occurred to us. Cam's table-scapes were a perfect complement to Jada's beautifully presented meals.

Jada is so relaxed and fun as well; we enjoyed the time we got to spend with her. She is an excellent chef, and she was able to accommodate our special requests easily. There were audible oohs and ahhs each time she and Cam brought the food to the table and she shared just what wonderful food we were about to eat. Every meal not only looked "Insta-worthy" but was delicious. We loved the customization she did for us and our interests, and we appreciated being introduced to new tastes and originals she prepared for us. We especially loved her appetizers at cocktail time each evening as we sat around sharing our favorite experiences from the day.

Cam and Jada are very attentive and seemed to have a good sense of when we were fine and wanted our time together. The only negative from our trip was that it had to end when it did, and we said goodbye to the BVI's, Krazy Kat, and the crew. Thank you Michelle for guiding us along this amazing vacation!

Thank you so much for such an amazing week! Truly one of the best times of our lives, and we owe it to you three. I hope you all have a great 2023, thanks for kicking our off to such a great start. We love y’all! P.S. I will be dreaming about this food forever!

The best!!! Exceeded our expectations at every turn. Hope to be able to sail again. The crew are awesome. The food was fantastic and no matter what curveball we through, it was handled seamlessly and professionally. Whether it be teaching us how to scuba dive or making the cocktail of the day, they always had a smile on their face’s and made us all feel special. Yacht was perfect and there was always plenty to do on the boat. Unicorn is a special animal... The food and drink was superb. Like I said earlier, we had very high expectations of our trip and every aspect was exceeded.

We had a great week!. The boat is clean and comfortable, we enjoyed the outdoor lounge spaces and the convenience of electric heads, water maker and AC! Water toys were so much fun. The crew make a great team and are a pleasure to have as a crew. We enjoyed spending time together and learning about each other’s backgrounds. They picked great spots for scenic views, snorkeling and hiking! We even got to do some bird watching. We felt very comforted knowing we are in good hands under sails or on the anchor. The chef went above and beyond to accommodate our food and wine preferences. The meals were well planned and delicious! Stuffed French toast, empanadas and burgers were kid’s favorites, adults also enjoyed chicken curry and special egg rolls. Home-made desert with every dinner was an unexpected treat! It was a perfect start for 2022 and we hope to sail again soon!

The crew were the absolute best! They were kind, ensured we were taken care of at all times, and made us feel like family. It was everything we had hoped for!! The chef did an excellent job working the menu to a somewhat difficult group based on eating allergies and likes/dislikes. They had the week pretty much planned out but asked for our input. As they know the area so well, I would go with their recommendations. The live band in Christmas Cove was a blast. My goal for the trip was a fun family outing with relaxation and we definitely achieved that. Additionally, Euphoria is a beautiful boat, luxury, immaculate and has all amenities. A huge Thank you to Euphoria and her crew for providing our family a vacation we will never forget.

Seahome was the perfect place for us and 3 bestie couples! The boat was beautiful and spacious. The chef took care of our every need. We mad amazing memories on Seahome and will definitely be returning. Thanks for de-stressing us for a week!

We recently chartered Floatation Therapy for six nights in the US Virgin Islands and we could not have been happier on our charter. The crew were absolutely exceptional and we loved our time with them. From the very beginning, it was clear that they wanted to make sure that our trip met the desires of the whole group. On our pre-call, they asked great questions, were professional and had great communication and were incredibly responsive. Throughout the entire experience, they both were friendly, professional, kind, calm and just really, really good people. They listened to us and created an itinerary that was exactly what we were looking for and made sure that every experience was a positive one – from reserving moorings, reservations, finding great snorkel and dive spots, recommending great restaurants, connecting us with taxi drivers, etc. They absolutely went above and beyond in every situation. Chef’s food is incredible and she made some of the best food we’ve eaten. She baked bread (sandwich bread AND the most amazing banana bread we’ve ever tasted), made homemade pizza crust, created a wonderful blueberry compote from scratch, pickled her own jalapenos and just made everything wonderful without cutting any corners. Her salmon dish and curry pork dish were two of our favorites and we seriously commented after every meal how delicious the food tasted. I also commented that the meal table always got very quiet once the food was served because we were all loving it so much. Most importantly, they are just good people. We loved being around them and enjoyed having them a part of our vacation. We will absolutely be rebooking with the two of them in the future!

Thank you for everything you did to make this week the best family vacation we have ever had. We are grateful for your hospitality and for teaching our girls to snorkel and sail. So many awesome memories.

What a week! Thank you for curating themost unforgettable memories of a lifetime! From the amazing meals to the water sports and mostly the relationships formed and solidified onboard. I could tell our kids felt completely safe and at home in your arms surrounded by the beauty of theBVI!
Thank you again for everything!

REVIEW FROM PREVIOUS YACHT: We cannot begin to thank you enough for an amazing trip. I am not ready to return to reality. But, knowing we can come back for another trip is comforting. It was a wonderful trip and wonderful to enjoy time with this wonderful crew!

This was our first catamaran charter sail and it was wonderful! The snorkeling, swimming, and sailboat are all amazing! First rate and top notch! However, what stands out the most were the impeccable meals, stellar service, and non stop attention to detail from both of you!! I cannot imagine a finer duo anywhere on the seas. I cannot sing your praises loud enough or long enough. You're both so sweet, accommodating and perfectionists in every way. Thank you both so much for a magnificent time and memory. Your futures are bright as you're both amazing together. We love you guys!

Oh my goodness, what an incredible trip! It was the perfect balance of adventure, fun and relaxation. We had so many opportunities to bond as a family and there is no greater gift than connection between one another.

Thank you for such an amazing experience. The crew really spoiled us this week! We felt so comfortable and relaxed. The crew is a great team

Where to begin? I suppose we'd first like to thank the crew. You two delivered an experience we will carry with us the rest of our lives. Not only did we enjoy first class treatment, but we also enjoyed your company, and we have made a special friendship with you both. I think we will see each other again. This was such a special trip, it's difficult to properly put it into words. The music, the water, the views, the breeze!!
We relaxed fully
We laughed heartily
We filled our cup up
And you both made our trip truly, a once in a lifetime (well, maybe twice or three times?) experience. Until next time, Interlude, safe travels, and much love and respect!!

Travel gives you more colors on you palate when you paint the picture of your light. NOMADA
N- Never a bad day or bad meal
O- Over the top
M- Magnificent
A- Americans in awe
D- Delightful crew
A- Always friends
This experience checked every box we could have imagined. The crew are forever woven into the fabric of your lives. We can’t begin to express our gratitude for sharing your generous spirit with us on th wasis amazing trip.
Every meal was not only delicious but wow, each was a work of art; and the mixology skills never failed to amaze and inspire us in his knowledge of the culture and history of these island are truly remarkable. What will we do without these two when we get home. And Captain, your trips too Jenga and wake boarding were perfect, your description of the hike was a little understated. While we didn’t get to the bubbly pool it gives us a reason to come back. We love being part of the competition “ we are the champion my friends” Captain, you are shining example of what needs to be a professional living our his wildest dreams and we wish you nothing but more fantastic and surfing adventures on the seas. We hope you come visit us in Annapolis if you come to he US our herts are full.
Chris and Dave, Cindee and Jacques, Laurie and Joe, Kristan and Steve.

Our Dearest Crew- beautiful people, amazing week! We cannot THANK YOU enough for this experience! The food we have never experienced any so wonderful! Your knowledge of the boat, this area and places to stop and snorkel are unsurpassed! We are in love!! The “okay guys” clap will be missed! Until we meet again, which we will!

We have no words! All the superlatives just do no justice to the most incredible 2 week adventure ever! We wanted secluded, quiet beaches and coves, we wanted to use every feature of this great yacht Allure, to explore the BVI in safety and style. You all exceeded every expectation we had! Captain, you are an amazing sailor, able to take us to wonderful places while telling us all about the history and legends of the BVI. We chose to dine on the boat and we were glad we did! The chef cooks everything with love and perfection! Who know hot cookies and ice cream made on the boat could be so good! We wish you all the best sailing and fair winds in your futures!

The most perfect week I have ever spent with my family. The food, the drinks, the activities, the accommodations were all wonderful. The company of the three of you was the best part - such wonderful people!

Our family gifted ourselves a Virgin Islands trip for Christmas, but we also got a surprise Christmas gift; and outrageous week of memorable first time experience on Island Hoppin. The meals were gourmet quality preparations of fresh fish, prime quality meats, sauces, and accompaniments that easily equalled any fine dining restaurant. Captain’s knowledge of desirable Virgin Island destinations made each day a new adventure! Best of all the hospitality mentally made us feel welcome and simultaneously well served. A great trip on a great boat with fantastic people!!!”

Thank you so much for a spectacular time! Although I arrived home to a full house and Thanksgiving preparations, how could we not miss the warm Caribbean and pampering we received on the Southern Comfort! From the time we arrived on the boat until the time we had to leave, you made our trip exceed any expectations that I conjured up in my mind. The catamaran was very well maintained and beautiful. A great vessel for respite from the daily grind.
The sailing, snorkeling, hiking, diving and swimming were just the adventures that our group were looking for. The crew were great Captains, cruise directors, chefs and staff. We were all amazed at the spectacular service provided to 8 people by just the 2 of you. The food was so delicious and diverse. Quite a feat in a small kitchen! You are quite an amazing chef. I’m still waiting for the cookbook! Everything you served was fresh, flavorful and visually delightful! A foodie paradise, if you will. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone. You both made our first sailing experience an extraordinary adventure!Thank you for everything and please keep in touch. You are wonderful people who we really enjoy and admire. Take care and have a healthy happy holiday season.

Thank you so very much for the hospitality and adventures. We've had the best holiday ever! You both contributed to that!

The first ones to enjoy this beautiful boat! What a crew! What a place! What a great time!

We cannot imagine a better vacation than our time on Jan's FeLion, The boat was a great fit for us. The crew keeps it in meticulous shape. Our cabins were awesome and were kept them in tip-top shape. We mainly lived outdoors, dined outdoors, sunned, made the crossing on the bridge. It was spectacular!
We all love to cook and initially were disappointed that we wouldn't be in the galley. That disappointment passed after the chef prepared our first meal. Chartering with a chef is seamless. The preference materials that you complete are your only responsibility. You don't have to plan meals, provision, worry about proper storage, forgetting something -- no worries, the crew handles everything. He is a skilled chef and simply a good guy with an easy nature. Every meal a treat. The crew is so service-hearted and gracious. They were always at the ready with coffee, cocktails, water toys. They learned our preferences and anticipated our needs. What a great smiles and laughs. Captain is an ace. He has confidence and obvious skill. One is instantly at ease knowing that he will be running the show and handling all the decisions on the crossings, the moorings, anchoring, dinghy trips, fresh water and all. He communicated clearly regarding our itinerary, careful to consider our desires and kept us on a wonderful schedule. He also shared a couple of his favorite hikes with us. We loved being on shore and learning from him.
As in life, it is about relationships. The best part of our trip -- not the stellar boat and accommodations, not the delicious food and beverages, not the carefree adventure, not the glorious Caribbean islands with picturesque mountains, flora and fauna and crystal-clear turquoise and deep blue waters, not the adorable island stops and watering holes. Hands down, it was the crew! We loved the blessing of getting to know them a little and sharing the week with them.
After a couple of tough years of healthcare challenges, this charter was balm to our souls. We'd love to do it again. And again. And again!
Thanks to you for guiding us through all the planning and preparation. Everything exceeded our expectations!

Thank you for making our dream vacation come true! Your hospitality and attention to detail are off the charts! All of the meals were outstanding and each meal was better than the last! We loved sharing our time together and your stories and knowledge were entertaining. You exposed our kids to experiences and activities they have never done and that will stay with them forever! Family memories are priceless! Thanks for putting up with our competitive spirit and sarcastic humor! Remember the Northern Lights, Dutch Blitz and Poker! Enjoy your journey ahead! Hope to meet up again

Every detail of the week has been flawless and fun. What an unforgettable way to start the New Year! Your UNWAVERING guidance and unmatched cooking has surpassed every expectation - from moving lattes, to flyboard lessons, to sunset snacks, to post-dinner chart reviews, we haven’t stopped smiling all week. We had the most relaxing and wonderful week with you both, thank you!

Thanks for breaking in my sea legs. You are beautiful and lovely, but not as lovely as you are within. It is the crew that makes this vacation. Never change! We appreciate the patience and love you and everything you put into our hearts and bellies. Thank you for the memory of a lifetime.

Time Out is a fantastic boat! Every amenity and tastefully decorated. The captain is amazingly competent and in addition to making sure one had a great time he assured everyone was safe – on the boat, getting in and of the dinghy. I enjoyed just watching & learning. The chef provided terrific and varied meals, presented beautifully, and she is a delightful person. She is also a top notch 1st mate. All in all a beautiful trip in the gorgeous locale!

We love this boat and crew! They are the best. Chef-you are the best cook/baker and one of the sweetest people we have ever met; always in a cheerful mood. She makes every dish unique and very flavorful and she is very attentive to everyone’s needs. Captain is the best captain ever! They both made our experience on Wanderlust AMAZING!! Our beds were made and cleaned right after we woke up and made perfectly every night before we went to bed. The cabin, interior of the boat and exterior of the boat was always clean and tidy. Everything at all times smells so fresh and clean. Overall what a beautiful boat with wonderful crew. We loved Soggy Dollar, Saba Rock, Bitterend and Cooper Island. We have so much fun, but our family fun and experience was easily heightened by the crew.

This vacation exceeded all of our expectations. The crew were absolutely over the top exceptional. Every part of the trip was great. The food and the presentation was incredible. Very personable crew that soooo... great--they made the trip. Thank you very much for a great trip.

What a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday our family of 10 had!! We can’t thank you three enough…from age 11 to 54 all had a great time. The three of you are fun, professional, patient and attentive. We have chartered for 10 years and, personally, this year’s trip was by far my favorite. I will forever hold memories made!

Spending a week on Lady Catron was so much more than we could have expected. The islands are beautiful. The real attraction was watching Captain sail Lady Catron. From pulling out of the marina to playing Gilligans Island theme song during a little rain shower we knew we were in good hands. His expertise and care for Lady Catron were evident in everything he did. His care for us was evident as well, from keeping us up to date on our sailing plans, our island hopping and the snorkeling adventures ahead of us. He kept the toys and snorkeling gear always at the ready. Chef Emily just as impressive in Lady Catron's stocked kitchen. She prepared with ease and served with joy. She was great at accommodating our various food choices and preferences. We certainly felt silly with all our remarks with each bite but we couldn't help ourselves. Each dish was unique and delicious and deserving of praise. She also knew how to keep the party going with the extensive bar and fun drinks. Together they make a great team, and of course Lady Catron. This was a special trip for our family, one that will be one of our best! I loved that we were all together and all our decisions were made for us and our cares met. Forever grateful for this week.

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. The crew 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. The chef prepared us fulsome breakfasts which set us up for the day and lovely varied dinners which we were ashamed not tto finish sometimes, such were the generous portions. 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.

We can not thank you enough for an UNFORGETTABLE week. You went above and beyond to cater to our liking.You both are amazing and we are so appreciative for you letting us spend time aboard your beautiful yacht, Southern Charm.

What a way to ring in the New Year! Thank you for a most wonderful family trip. We loved it all, from the sailing to the paddleboarding, tubing and snorkeling….and of course the food and drinks! It will be hard to top this…guess we will just have to keep coming back

Wow! What a cruise. Our family was so lucky to be able to take a trip like this. But even luckier to have the two of you take care of us. It is amazing how two extremely professional people can also be so fun and able to blend in with our group. And the food! I am hoping for many of your recipes – absolutely outstanding! I hope the boat owner knows how lucky he is to have you taking care of this beautiful boat. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and assistance while we were sick. If you ever find yourselves in Georgia – you are welcome!"

Thank you for an amazing week! It was the best way to break free of Covid and celebrate a 50th birthday for Rich. We so appreciate you hospitality, delicious food and the wonderful way you took care of all the details big + small for us. We created so many memories and deepened the bonds of friendship over snorkelling, hiking and super moon gazing. We'll be back!

Where to begin? The moment we set sail we knew it was going to be an experience of a lifetime! The ocean and islands were just breathtaking. The hues of the ocean water will forever be embedded in our minds. The scuba diving expeditions were the best we have ever experienced. Our favorite spots were: Ann at Tipsy’s, the Soggy Dollar experience, Hendos for the delicious cocktails, Saba Rock’s “cool bar” with the tarpon; and Sydney’s for the best lobster we have ever had. And of course the food…the food…the food. We savored each meal and look forward to the cookbook!

Aqua waters, white sand beaches, colorful fish, shining tarpon, struggling coral, laid-back beach bars, floaty nation, fruity cocktails, light breezes, mighty liars’ dice, seriously competitive charades, lazy afternoon naps, fantastically yummy meals, beautiful boat and superbly capable captain.Thank you to this crew for everything! We are so luck to have landed with you and look forward to another trip with you both. Combining superb seamanship with gracious hospitality isn’t trivial….and you two make it look effortless. We look forward to our next adventure together!

From the moment we stepped on and had a painkiller in our hand. We knew we were in for an incredible time. It is hard to put into works how meaningful this trip has been to our entire family. It is particularly difficult because the entire week was filled with over-the-top meals, creatively made cocktails, so many adventures, lots of laughter and most importantly, you delivered all of those things with a fun spirit. We have loved being with you both. You both gave us a week we wish would never end. We leave here with so many amazing memories, full hearts, and a few extra pounds. We hope our paths cross again soon. Until then, we will attempt to recreate the Heavenly vibe through your painkiller recipe, music playlists, and loving nicknames. Wishing you all the best.

I personally wanted to say thank you again for the vacation like no other. I had “firsts” in two areas of life. One new thing a year is my life goal… so yay!! From all of us thank you. We could not have asked for a better crew. Outstanding!! Let us know if you ever need a referral. Fair Seas to you always

We have absolutely loved our experience aboard Sea Boss with you both. You embraced our family with your warm spirits and created the most relaxing and fun vacation we could possibly imagine. Your sincere intention to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for all was evident in every detail. From the thoughtfully designed itinerary to the exquisite meals - taking into account all of our eating quirks! We loved and noticed every wonderful aspect of the trip; beautiful table settings, on demand bumps on the tube, meals to die for filled with healthy and fresh ingredients. (how is that even possible on a boat?), tasty cocktails, perfect land excursions to stretch our legs, captains corner, patient time hanging out with our remora fish, kindly helping our kids (and us) learn about boat life and paddle board rescues!! At the end of the day life is about the connections we make and the experience we have together. You have given us the gift of the chance to form memories and family bonding that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful.

It's hard to find words that accurately describe my experience which don't sound like generic exclamations or empty superlatives. Amazing. Magnificent. Splendid. Awesome. These are all passable and yet, somehow only hint at what I felt during our week-long journey in the BVIs. The crew are very special. Both are smart, experienced, funny, skillful, caring, knowledgeable, and charming. Extremely capable apart, yet a fantastic team together. I will forever measure other boat crews against them - my litmus test for how it should be. The chef just knocked it out of the park when it came to food. Not only was her menu selection spot-on with our tastes, her execution was among the very best - especially considering it all came from a tiny kitchen rocking to and fro! She is also a very competent first mate - always at the ready to moor the boat, furl a sail, help a diver out of the water, batten down the hatches, or drop the anchor. The always affable captain was a diligent and discerning captain as well as divemaster. He excelled at making decisions to maximize both our enjoyment and our safety. With a diverse group on board - some divers, some snorkelers, some landlubbers, etc - it was no small task for him to select pleasure stops, land excursions, and overnight anchors/moors that suited everyone, but did so with aplomb. Plus, he makes the *best* painkillers 😉 This was my first trip to the BVIs. I wasn't sure what to expect in the aftermath of hurricane Irma but let me be the one to tell you that the spirit of the people that work these waters and live on these islands, is indomitable. It may not be the same as it was a year ago, but those changes did nothing to attenuate our joy of being there. In closing, let me not try to wrest more-nuanced adjectives from the English language and just simply say what really matters. We had so much fun. We were happy. We laughed. We marveled. We dove and ate and sailed and soaked up the sun. And we made new friends. This trip was perfect.

The yacht was absolutely spotless and beautiful. We were left wanting for nothing more. Everything we needed for the perfect vacation was available and in great working condition. The crew was spectacular. They provided the highest level of service possible. Everything, from the amazing food to the fantastic guidance on where to go and what to do, was perfect. I truly can't imagine a better crew to work with. We left our trip feeling as if we've made life long friends. The food was fantastic. It was delicious and the variety was great. The chef really worked to understand our likes and dislikes and adjusted every meal to fit our needs perfectly. Since arriving home we've been craving the food!!

The captain was a fantastic captain. Not only did he work tirelessly to keep the yacht in perfect shape but he was also a great guide during the trip. He catered our itinerary around the needs of our entire group. Whether that was extreme amounts of snorkeling for some or extreme relaxation and bar hopping for others. We all got what we wanted out of our week long vacation of a lifetime!

The BVI's were incredible! I can't imagine a more beautiful location.

Couldn't have asked for a better trip. Both of you were amazing to meet. Hopefully you can come to family dinner next time you're in the city.

We booked the Vicarious Charter which took 6 of us around the USVI AND BVI. Michelle (through Epic Yacht Charters) was great to work with; quick to respond, knowledgeable and gave helpful suggestions when picking a charter. We had an AMAZING time with this crew. The food and drinks were great, the crew was very accommodating to our needs and we cannot say enough good things about Austen and Phily. We couldn't have conceived a more perfect vacation/40th birthday and anniversary celebration with our dearest friends. We were lucky to have found a charter that was able to do both the USVI and BVI in one trip (pretty rare from what I understand). We wanted to ensure we got the same crew that got the great reviews below, so it was reassuring that this crew also owns the boat. We saw a ton of wildlife while snorkeling and Austen/Phily did an amazing job finding the right night spots to give us a feel for the local culture/vibe. It's rare that you find someone trained as a chef and photographer (thanks Phily!). This was a once in a lifetime trip that lived up to everything we hoped it would be. Hardest part of the whole trip was coming home (to cold weather) and having to cook for ourselves again. Thank you Austen and Phily!

We all want to thank you for this amazing week. The islands are indeed one of the most beautiful places on earth. Beautiful islands, perfect beaches and many things to do. It’s a perfect combination of relaxing and being active with watersports and amazing hikes. Your catamaran is perfect, the best we saw during the whole trip. You can comfortably sit on the front sofa area, in the shady cockpit, on the special champagne deck, or on the flybridge with the breeze. Also the rooms are big and comfortable and way beyond our expectations. TOP NOTCH! Like always it is the people that really make the difference. Your service, your cooking and your good mood is beyond exceptional. But really special is your personal touch: you try to find out what we want and fulfil our wishes even the ones we didn’t say out loud. And you for that! You are also an inspiring couple. The life choice you both made, the joy you have in the ‘small things in life’, the body language between you two when you are sailing, the tender care that the captain takes of the boat….we could go on. Thank you so much! We will remember you and this experience forever and this certainly not be our last visit to your paradise!

Honestly, I can’t say enough about how wonderful this trip was. It was the most expensive trip we have done yet and I don’t regret any of the dollars spent. The crew were absolutely terrific, couldn’t have asked for a better crew. They took the time with us at the start of the trip to work through the itinerary and made great suggestions. The chef met our every expectation with the food and accommodated all of our needs from GF to Vegetarian sitting alongside bacon lovers😁. They really made the trip extra special. The boat was well appointed and fit our two families perfectly. The attention to detail across the board was outstanding. I would (and already have) highly recommend the crew, boat and our broker. You guys simplified the planning and coordination and provided all the crazy Covid needs to us as everything was changing. Thank you so much for helping to make this delayed 50th celebration a huge 55th success!

Our vacation was beyond amazing!! Thank you!! We had not been on a vacation since 2020 with COVID took over. Your knowledge, attention to detail and overall engaging and friendly demeanor made this vacation extra special. You are PHENOMENAL!! You made us all feel so special. We needed to disconnect and lose ourselves in this most beautiful BVI and so we did because of you!! The new places you took us to, the guided tours, the great food, the time we spent with you, and my surprise birthday celebration are unforgettable memories we will treasure always! We also loved all your toys - full face masks, underwater Gopro, paddle boards, scooters, and the that's what she said card game... lol!

Spending a week with you on Location was better than imagined. Both our families were able to see the Exumas in a way many can't, eat world class food and enjoy the time together that is hard to find nowadays. The catamaran was ideal in every way and the tender made little trips off the boat fantastic. We even caught a grouper! The boat was ideal, but adding you two to the trip makes it worth doing again! Thanks for everything you did!

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht)We enjoyed an unforgettable, extraordinary week of beauty, luxury hospitality and comfort, and decadent feasting every moment of this trip. We have been on the Amar and the Four Seasons in Asia and the personal, genuine professionalism and the crew’s intuitive attention to individual needs throughout this week is incomparable. They are at all times cool, relaxed, and accommodating with a clear passion to give their guests the best experience at all times possible. We are a family of four with two kids, 13 and 9. We have a very diverse set of needs and wants and the crew went above and beyond with passion, utmost professionalism, responsibility/safety, and knowledge at all times. You would not believe what can be done so seamlessly and gracefully by a team of two! The will, integrity they have to go above and beyond in all aspects of your experience will ensure their continued success and your desire to return again as soon as possible. We thank them for their tireless hard work and look forward to our next trip together!

Pure perfection! Everything was amazing! You even ordered up our request for nice weather and (almost) always smooth seas. This was the most unforgettable trip - the food you made was truly 5 star, but the presentation was equally stunning. Great captain! We felt truly cared for with your kind and knowledgeable personality. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you'd like to visit the Midwest and stay at our home. Sorry my cooking will not come close to yours. We would love to sail with you again soon.

From start to finish this trip was AMAZING! The crew did an excellent job of picking just the right spots for us to enjoy the good life. We had some great snorkeling and lots of fun playing with all the toys. The chef did an amazing job on all of our meals, it is going to be difficult to get back in a routine of not eating as much. Oh, and I almost forgot! we started this whole adventure off with some delicious rum punches when he picked us up at the airport. Thank you so much for making this family vacation so memorable!

Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation - it was the best ever and I smile every time I think of the wonderful week. I loved being on Copper Penny and will definitely do it again. You both made the experience unforgettable and were such great hosts. I love some of the pictures you took and can't wait to see the others. I didn't take any but I know some of the other girls did. I'll keep in touch.

How much can we praise the beautiful boat, the fabulous crew, and the gorgeous environment? The catamaran is lavish and comfortable, both topside and below. Our stateroom was private and cozy and the decks were spacious, with sun or shade abundantly available. The food was scrumptious and elegantly served. The attention to detail was amazing -- there were festive napkins and napkin rings different each day! And the food was more than we ever imagined could be prepared on a boat. The chef is everything described in the brochure. The captain is a superb sailor and entertaining host. But be careful -- she has a mischievous streak and will whip the water tube hard enough to fling you into the water! Overall, the Island Kisses charter is a marvelous way to vacation.
