Crewed Charter Yachts

Loved every minute of our adventure with Segundo Viento and her crew. Every day was a surprise with new sights, fabulous meals, water toys, beautiful beaches and superb hospitality. Our anchorages were gorgeous and we always felt safe. Great snorkeling. Memories and sites that we will never forget! We look forward to seeing you both and Segundo Viento again soon.

How blessed we are to be able to experience an occurrence, an event, or a moment in time that changes our lives dramatically forever. This is the case with an excursion on the Mariah Princess III. And no doubt the crew gave everything they had to ensure our with them and will be the creation of memories that will be with us forever! We couldn’t ask for anything more…and certainly moire than we expected. Wishing the crew Smooth Sailing!

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) We had an absolutely amazing time. We loved everything from snorkeling, diving and sailing. The service and the food were terrific. The service and the food were terrific. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We were delighted that you guys were our crew!

Thank you for one of the most amazing weeks of our lives. You guys are truly amazing in every way and have spoiled us to much. We will forever be grateful for all the memories that we made this week.

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.

Everyone needs a yacht vacation with a wonderful crew! You two made our bucket list trip EVERYTHING we imagined. After the incredible hospitality, selection of our itinerary in the BVI and the fun competitions we had, we are sure we will be back to repeat this bucket list item. The food was impeccable from the eggnog French toast pulled pork sandwich, homemade gyoza and charcuterie was amazing. Every meal was a 5 star dining experience. From the best valentines day ever to the wet dighny ride to the yacht club to jumping off the boat it was all fun! We will see you again”

Today is such a bittersweet day as we head home. The crew was so incredible, we all just fell in love with them. The food was phenomenal and Gracious?? Well she is in a class of her own, so gorgeous! Please thank the owner for allowing us to enjoy, for a short time, his slice of heaven and a great hand picked selection of great wine.

We had a wonderful time, the crew were phenomenal. The charter was a great success and everything went very smoothly. I only wish we could stay longer. Every part of the trip was great. The sites, the service, the food, the activities, the camaraderie, the ship. It was all perfect. Very much enjoyed the conversations that were had with each of the crew. Everyone of our group enjoyed every part of the trip. I very much hope to do this again, I’ve been spending the past two days trying to think of when to do this again and with who (both tricky questions to answer).


The hardest part was leaving.

This is our 3rd trip we took within 11 months. The main reason for this is your amazing crew. Every time we are on their boat the experience is amazing. From the friendly and outstanding service to the amazing food to the interactive boating experience. My experience has been in the hospitality industry, managing 5 star resorts, and both the crew strive to provide the best guest experience from the moment you step on board till the moment you step off board. Truly two exceptional crew members that represent your boat very well. My wife and I cannot wait to book another trip within the BVI. Thank you so much for another outstanding vacation.

 

Where do we begin...can we just start his amazing trip on Krazy Kat with the two of you all over again? Starting 2022 with you made for the best New Years day ever. Beyond! In every way. Dolphins (4) leaving our way to paradise to way too many passion fruit orchids...but who is counting? Scuba diving with sharks, over indulging in the chef’s amazing meals and the best hospitality with you two. You saved us on a daily basis with the perfect remedies to insure our trip was beyond our highest expectations. We loved every minute and hate to leave. Ben as captain, was the best we have ever had on a cat in the BVI. (This was our third time...so we know a stand-out!) Thank you for every minute. We can't wait until next time! You 2 have huge hearts and made Krazy Kat feel like home. Thank you

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.

Every single thing about our trip was perfect. The Seahome was beautiful the crew was clearly the best crew at sea! The smallest details to the biggest were taken care of along the way. There was plenty of space for our family to be together and to find relaxing space. The captain kept us well entertained... paddle boards, tubing, scuba, snorkel, cliff jumping, sunset sailing, hiking, playing at secluded beaches, dingy rides, hammock chairs, fishing. He took us to the most amazing places and gave us a sense of calm confidence that had all of us participating in all of the activities.
The chef’s ability and dedication to creating magical ambiance for EACH meal (3x per day) was unreal. Chef... where to begin? From my morning to coffee to our evening meal his abilities are astounding! Not only is his food melt in your mouth delicious but his plating techniques are beyond impressive. I could not have been more impressed with the culinary experience. It was truly Michelin level. Absolutely perfect! The only bad part was leaving and the ugly cry I had.

The trip was absolutely AMAZING! I'm not even sure there are truly enough wonderful words or space to describe how much fun we had and how fabulous the crew were. This is the first time we have ever lived on a boat for any kind of vacation. The USVI was beautiful. The crew is full of interesting tidbits bits about the islands and gave us all kinds of neat recommendations and information as we sailed along. &....well...the food was INCREDIBLE. The entire weeks menu was spectacular. The cooking skills are pretty awesome. The presentation of the food was beautiful as well. Thanks to him, I gained a good bit of weight on our trip. They were both so very gracious. They decorated for my birthday and made it very special. Then the very next day had Christmas decor up. The weather was beautiful. We so enjoyed our time with some of our friends who vacationed with us. They asked us at the end of the trip what our highs and lows were to this trip. I honestly could not think of any lows. Definitely one of our top 3 best relaxing vacations ever. They were both very accommodating. If we can swing it, we would definitely like to do another trip with them."

Where do we start to tell you how much this week meant tour two families. Twin Flame gave us the opportunity to bring it back to basics. “Family, Fun, Love and Adventure”. Everything from the first night at Willy T (for future guests “The drinks are strong and don’t be surprised at the occasional naked guy cannonball: snorkeling, hiking, cliff jumping, Moms lounging on the flybridge, surfing, foiling, wakeboarding, etc. There was something for everyone. The chef’s quiet grace and strength made everyone feel welcome and her meals were totally awesome. The captain’s sense of adventure, curiosity and a little bit of mischievousness made our trip. Thank you for the gift of fishing, friendship and wonder. You made the kids fishing adventures the best. We couldn’t imagine this trip without you. You will have a place in our hearts forever. Please come visit us.

Thank you all so much for an amazing adventure! Everything about it was perfect. The chef was exceptional in the kitchen. The meals you cooked were beyond amazing, more than we ever could have expected. Your hospitatlity made our experience one we'll never forget. Hopefully another one very soon.

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) Our family of 4 recently chartered . In a nutshell, from start to finish it was a great experience. We were able to tailor the charter to our specific needs. My wife and I had a spacious master BR with a nice queen bed, plenty of space and large bathroom with separate shower. Our daughters had a smaller but still comfortable stateroom with a queen bed and nice bath. The boat has excellent spaces inside and out. We particularly enjoyed the aft open dining and sofa. The fly bridge also had a nice area with a bar/separate fridge and BBQ. It also has a nice sonos sound system as well as TV’s in every room. The crew could not have been better and spoiled us to no end. The captain knows the boat and the islands like the palm of his hands. He has a very relaxed personality and is great to deal with. Although I tried to help in anchoring/docking etc., he did it so well by himself that eventually I just said “relax and let him do it”. Even though we have visited the islands multiple times, he had very helpful suggestions and was very responsive to our preferences. He was also amazing at helping with water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, paddle boarding and with the included Sea Bob. The chef was also spectacular. First, she is a great human being. Then the quality of ingredients, variety and preparation of the meals was remarkable. She completely tailored every meal to our low carb/healthy style including chicken, pork, grilled steak and lobster. Oh and lets not forget “happy hour” with her delicious home made salsa and a cheese/avocado dip that were both addicting. We submitted our wine and liquor preferences and they were waiting for us on arrival. Finally, she kept the entire boat perfectly clean and organized. We were truly blessed to have this crew, will miss them but also know that we will see them back next summer:) We focused on Jost Van Dyke and Virgin Gorda. At JVD enjoyed our fave Soggy Dollar Bar- an institution since 1970. Love Savannah in VG as well as Coco Maya. In short, a unique vacation full of great moments!

Wow what a holiday! We have never had such a holiday. We will never be able to top this with the wonderful crew onboard. You made our holidays so special. You made us feel so special like we were with family. The whole experience was amazing. Captain you were amazing. You made the trip seem so easy and we know it had to be hard. Chef, you never complaint about my dislike of seafood-Your meals were amazing, nothing will ever taste as good, ever! You were amazing. Your smile every morning made our day!

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!

We had a fabulous trip. It was truly amazing! Crew was great. The captain picked up on our sarcasm pretty quickly and joined right in with us. It was fun with him being our same age. He was always helping the crew with whatever. Often times a hard worker in the kitchen too, was very quiet and soft spoken and often we had to tell her to smile but she was super sweet and obviously young so I can see how we were a bit intimidating. She would open up in more one on one type situations. She is a very hard worker! The stewardess was great. So funny and joked with us and always there to help and get us whatever we needed. She fit right in perfectly. The chef was amazing. Food was incredible. He said we were his fav group thus far bc we weren’t picky and we let him do his thing and finished our plates, lol! I was shocked how much time they spend in the kitchen. We enjoyed the times he could hang with us. Overall they were amazing constantly serving our needs. We ended the trip with the crew joining us for dessert and we all shared our favorite things from the week and it was really neat with crew sharing their thoughts too. We pretty much left the entire itinerary up to the Captain which he noted he appreciated that we trusted him. The stops were awesome. Weather was perfect and seas were calmest he’s ever seen. The boat was nice. Definitely was older and had its flaws at times bc of its age but nothing that stopped us from having a blast. The master room was amazing! I’m hoping we do another trip soon!

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.

We have just returned from the family holiday of a lifetime aboard Jan’s Felion. My husband and and I and our 3 children aged 15, 14 and 12 loved every minute! We are a well travelled family and have experienced some beautiful 5 star hotels together in great locations but what set this experience apart was the combination of the beautiful boat itself which was SO comfortable and spacious, the incredible team and outstanding food and warm hospitality and the fact that you experience new and exciting islands and adventures in the BVI each day of your 7 days on board, no two days are the same! From the minute we boarded in Tortola and tasted the chef’s delicious ceviche for lunch and the captain took us through a suggested itinerary for our week we knew we were in for a very special time. My husband and kids scuba dive and they arranged a beautiful spot for them to dive and for me to spend the afternoon (complete with wonderful pool loungers and a gorgeous boutique for shopping!). Our kids love wake boarding and the captain took them out on long excursions behind the tender. We explored pristine gorgeous bays and had super fun days enjoying delicious cocktails at beach bars. A stand out day for me was the day we hired a Moke and scooter and explored the beautiful island of Anegada. We enjoyed a day of beautiful snorkelling and the beach, fun island exploration and ended the day sun-kissed and happy having an amazing Lobster dinner with our Jan’s Felion family at Sam’s restaurant where we all competed in a limbo competition and danced the night away! The Jan’s Felion team
helped us create memories that our family will cherish always.

Dear crew, your service was impeccable and we don’t know how we can even describe how amazing you all are as people. We have grown to greatly appreciate each and everyone of you. Chef, your meals were outstanding better than any restaurant we can possibly imagine. I really enjoyed talking about horses with you. Stew, Thank you for putting up with all of us and waiting on us hand and foot. Captain you are the best captain we have ever known. Enjoyed all your stories and thank you for paying attention to every single detail. Andy you are so friendly and the trip wouldn’t have been the same without you. And thank you for everything. Thank you all soooooo much for your wonderful attentiveness, kindness, sense of humour and service. This is a first for Shafer and I and hopefully, not the last BVI boat experience. Everything was great! You all are such a great team. It is my hope that we can do this again in the not too distant future with our family. We had a great time meeting you all and some new Texan friends. Please come and see us in Steamboat Co . if you get a chance. Best to you all. Heide and Shafer.
In short, our crew is amazing and exceeded our expectations! God Bless.

You guys truly rock!! Such an amazing trip, music, laughter, food, fun and more laughter. We truly enjoyed all of you. You are family to us now. You made everyone feel so special and loved. We look forward to our next yachting adventure. Food was amazing!

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!

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.

Thank you for a magical time in the BVIs. You handled having 2 agendas perfectly. The snorkels and hikes were beautiful and it made us appreciate your islands so much more. Much love to you both. All joking aside, when “the heat goes out of the sun” it was my favourite time of the day! What an amazing trip; A helluva helmsman and a great chef. We loved every minute of it – you both were great to us and the food was exquisite!

The crew are a perfect complement. The captain is an exacting and energetic captain who knows and loves this boat and sailing. He surveys every detail like a hawk, and like a hawk knows his territory and where it’s special secrets lie. The chef is a person of magic smiles, five star cuisine delivered with care, and sinful cocktails as though they were innocence itself! Together they are hosts extraordinaire and have made our holiday unforgettable. Many thanks and affection.

Thank you so much for the fun, laughs and memories aboard Dragon Fly! What an amazing week of exploring the island’s private and turquoise waters, watersports, wine and amazing food We appreciate your hospitality and thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us. Cannot wait until next time!!!

The boat was wonderful and very comfortable. The crew could not have been better. About 91 on a scale of 1-10. They were very competent handling the boat. The meals were great, well presented and more than enough. The diving was great. They are great instructors. The itinerary was perfect. Our best vacation ever, by far.

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.

THANK YOU for an amazing trip and the wonderful experiences. We all had a blast and felt very blessed to have you be our hosts for the week. The food was amazing and the many stops between each meal were welcomed adventures. From jumping off Will T's, to meandering through the Baths, to New Years on Anegada...we all had a ball!! I can assure you this trip will be talked about for many, many years! Thank you again for your hospitality and always offering to help make our trip 5 star! Enjoy the next charter and may your 2022 be blessed and prosperous!

Thank you for making New Years 2022 such an absolute Fabulous Week. It’s so special to have a crew that fits in (and tolerates) our crazy family. The espresso martinis was an unexpected staple, and the joy & laughs that we all shared was nothing short of amazing. Thank you for sharing your islands, friends and experiences with us. We will never forget the memories and we hope to see you both again!

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.

Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough to express my gratitude for all you did to make this week so special. The crew was the most loving hosts that took such great care of us. A master chef, meal after meal. Simply incredible!! For a guy you have very sweet energy, ha ha! We all appreciated your thoughtfulness in getting us to just the right spots. But remember to slow down I don’t think your dancing improved over the week! I can still make room in my bag for all of you! ❤️ Thank you again, you all truly are extraordinary in so many ways. I think I’m in love with you all. Happiest of holidays.

Thank you for a beautiful boating adventure in the BVI. We had a wonderful time on our first time yachting around the islands. The captain took excellent and expert care. All meals were beyond all expectation. Thank you!

This trip made my dream come true. Amazing trip with an amazing 'capy', couldn't have been better. Perfect suggestions for swimming spots and restaurants. A million thanks! Best week in my life!"

This was our first trip to the BVI and our first time sailing. This experience was out of this world! The crew were absolutely out of this world. The crew were amazing and the captain took the time to teach us about sailing. The chef made stunning meals and delicious drinks. They were so kind to us and showed us the most gorgeous spots around the islands. I never knew how much fun wakeboarding and sub-winging in the ocean could be. We are obsessed now. This experience was something we will never forget. New friends and new places. We are already planning our charter for next years

Best vacation ever - leaving the stresses of life behind! The crew are amazing humans and we are so thankful for them keeping our family safe while giving us the adventure of a lifetime. The places and exploration exceeded our imagination, the food was incredible, healthy, tasty - just amazing, but the company was the best! Thank you for sharing a bit of yourselves with our family.
