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!

(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!

Our trip was centered around our grandkids ages 6, 8, 13 and 15 and they had the time of lives! Every detail was taken care of by the crew - they engaged the kids In activities, played games with them, prepared feasts with the kids and showed them a wonderful week in the BVI. The crew are incredibly smart, outgoing and take care of Twin Flame in unmatched skill. We can’t wait to sail with them again. The kids all cried when we left the crew and the boat - adults shed a few tears too. What a memorable time that will live on in our hearts forever, until the next time - keep your head up, Bro! 😂🥰

(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!

Thank you all so much for an incredible week! We all had an amazing and relaxing time and are so grateful for your kindness and all of your help in planning this trip. The food, atmosphere, and activities were all incredible! And thank you for helping to celebrate my birthday and parents' anniversary in such a special way. Good luck with your next trips, and hope to meet again.

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.

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.

All we can say is "What a crew"! You are all amazing and were in perpetual motion and able to anticipate our every desire. The crew is absolutely five-star! The best thing is all of the crew's hidden talents that just may show up upon request. Love these guys. Thank you all for such an amazing experience! These memories we will hold onto for a lifetime.

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.

I've been wanting to do a catamaran cruise with our very good friends for a decade. I built it up so much in my mind I was afraid I was going to be a bit disappointed. In short, I wasn't. In fact, it exceeded my expectations.

You definitely need to go with people you want to spend time with and share in the many really cool moments that happen on a vacation like this. What I didn't think about was the critical role the crew play because for one week they basically become part of your family. The crew, by the end of the cruise, they were family indeed. We literally wanted to adopt them both. I've never met a more capable captain and person. She's smart, personable, adventurous, fearless and takes great pride in her boat and service. The chef was, how do I put it...hilarious. His personal skills are second to none. He added some much to our fun, our conversations and was an excellent chef and sailor as well. The two of them made a fantastic team. I'll definitely go on another cruise and when I do I'll be sure to request them!

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!

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.

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) Where do we begin...can we just start his amazing trip 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. The 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 the boat feel like home. Thank you!

In general the trip was beyond perfect!

Cameron, the Captain, was always courteous, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. He made a perfect choice on the itinerary and accommodated our wishes with enthusiasm. On top of this, he was always enjoying whatever we decided to do.

Jada, was fantastic in all regards, the cooking was exquisite and hard to believe it could be done on board. In top of that she always had a smile and kept on pampering us throughout the day.

The menu was an amazing surprise every day while keeping in mind our preferences. I had never experienced three gourmet meals a day.

We would charter this boat again in a heartbeat, but what really hooked us is the crew.

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.

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.

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. 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. In short, our crew is amazing and exceeded our expectations! God Bless.

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.

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!

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!!!”

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht)

This crew showed us how a great captain and chef make the trip special. Thank you both for being extremely professional, but also making us feel we made two great new friends. Memories for a lifetime! Joe

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.

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!

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 are and will be forever thankful for this incredible journey through the waters of the exquisite USVI. You showed us more than we could have imagined from either land or water-absolutely stunning. Our family’s celebration of birthdays and precious time together will be in our hearts forever. Thank you for your amazing ability to make this trip the best. The meals you delivered are out of this world. Thank you for taking the time to select fresh, healthy and incredibly beautiful dishes for us. We always felt safe with the captain, who took us to incredible places. Best wishes to both of you!.

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.

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!

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

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!

We have just enjoyed the most incredible week with Dragonfly and her crew. We have been blown away with the 5 star service and will remember this trip forever. The food is just incredible, I will miss it the most! We have been so well looked after and completely spoiled. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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.

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!

EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE FROM DOCK TO DOCK! We had an amazing vacation in the BVI on Oceana from the moment we entered the boat and were greeted by our strikingly good looking crew 🙂 They decorated the boat with striking, elegant coastal decor! Every detail is accounted for with the very best equipment and decor. The captain is impressive! We felt safe with his skilled competence and confidence! Impressive how knowledgeable he is! He also strives to create the ultimate experience for his guests. The chef is a 5 star chef! Every meal was a work of art and delicious! Her calm, patient style made our vacation an exceptional experience! We especially appreciated their taking us to the very best places in the BVI! We didn't have to think about anything! The ultimate vacation! Thanks!

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!
