Crewed Charter Yachts

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

(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!
