Charter Yachts ADVANCED Search

I wanted to send a personal note to thank you both so very much for a fabulous BVI cruise. It’s been 50 years since I first decided that sailing around the Caribbean was something I wanted to do. It just never made it to the top of the list until now. I have always loved sailing, and often been disappointed when snorkeling excursions on a catamaran became motoring trips to murky sites. I’m so glad we did those lovely sails to Anegada and back, and the several snorkeling chances in the crystal clear waters was the best ever. You all took such good care of us all. I sincerely hope we will meet again someday.

We hardly know where to begin! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this a trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was a perfect mix of adventure (cave snorkeling, baths, hiking) and relaxation (beach picnic, dinner on shore, sunset happy hours). All had fun with the water toys as well. Chef you made us feel like royalty with your gourmet and delicious food and stewardess with your top notch service. Captain, who knew you were a tour guide, boat captain, housekeeper, and bee vanquisher-haha.
We cannot wait to come back!

Our second trip with you and the experience was just as amazing as last time. All of you always made sure that everything was perfect. The Birthday dinners were as unforgettable. We are all looking forward to coming back!

This has been without a doubt the greatest trip of my life and it’s all thanks to you guys. You have been so welcoming and so much fun playing all the fun games and all of the fun adventures. Thank you for everything. I’ve had the absolute best time ever. I’ve never participated in so many things outside my comfort zone. All the activities have been so much fun learning how to ride the e- foil was incredible. Thank you so much to this crew for everything. You are all so amazing and actually made this trip. Thank you.

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) OMG – the meals belonged in a 5 star, top of the line restaurant in the most famous cities in the world! Each day was a complete surprise and there was never a “let-down” in regards to the delicious treats that Amanda prepared. So yummy!!! Can't wait till to return.

To the crew of MARIAH PRINCESS, enjoy a moment to yourself, go after it! It really was the perfect storm!
Our family is eternally grateful for such an amazing experience aboard MARIAH PRINCESS III. Your individual attributes were so appreciated! The only way to become a true friend to the sea is to create your life to unveil it. Thank you for sharing your passion. You all have helped me reach a version of myself I didn’t know existed.
Captain, a gentle soul with an eye for details, even in the midst of the storm approaching we knew we would be 100% safe. The BVI is calm, and you made the trip peaceful. Chef, you are going places, a scientist and a chef in one. The time, energy, and creativity you brought to each meal blew us out of the water.

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.

Thank you so much for helping us complete a bucket list item. We can be a lot sometimes and you handled us with grace and patience. I wont put it against you chef, that I probably gained 5 pounds. Your cooking was so awesome.
Thank you all so much for making our trip the best ever. Every meal was presented with class and very tasty. 5 Stars!! Captain, your route plan was perfect. We enjoyed hearing about each point that we visited. Thank you for getting us to all the special islands. We can not thank you enough for making this vacation so memorable. Thanks for all the wonderful adventures this week. Thank you all so much.

Thank you so much for such an incredible week on Karma. We had so much fun! It's hard to pick one (or even a few) favorites when we enjoyed so much. The diving was amazing, as were the on land excursions at The Baths, Anegada, and Soggy Dollar. We loved those adventures but also had such a blast on the boat - a magical home away from home for this week. The family breakfast / lunch / dinner table with all of us together is a gift that is somewhat elusive during this chapter of life, and this time together will be cherished forever. And the food. Truly magnificent every time. Works of art!!!
Since I'm delivering these thanks I'll add a special shout-out for the TSwift dance parties - and I'm sure the whole family would concur - the games, music, conversations, and boat vibe provided much needed connection and relaxation!
Thank you!!

Thank you for a wonderful week! Everything was perfect, from the crew greeting us warmly at the dock, & welcoming us with drinks and lunch, to the final gorgeous sunset at Caneel Bay. All of our group agreed that Conch Island was the Highlight of the trip, with the Baths being a close second. We missed being able to have a campfire, but playing Liquid Zen Trivia instead was so much fun (especially since mine and Bob's team won!). Your gracious hospitality made everything so special for us ~ the cooking was fabulous, and the crew’s patience with us less experienced seamen was much appreciated! I will wear my title of "Mrs. Phelps" proudly :)" - The Rickerts

Review from crews previous yacht. Thank you both for being such kind and thoughtful vacation planners, our trip was wonderful. We made a lot of memories together and are grateful for everything you did to make it happen! Here are a few of our favorite memories: Gumption and all he entails: entrepreneur, DJ, Tour Guide, Lemur expert, photographer, and promoter! Billy Ocean and Casey's bellowing laughs on Murder Mystery Night. Mom and her lost and found jewelry and hat nearly being blown to Puerto Rico. Of course we will always miss and remember the delicious food. Thanks for being so flexible with us; it's going to be a sad farewell at the end of this vacation. We wish you both well in your next adventure and hope to see you on the islands next season!

This week will be hard to top! The scenery, the snorkeling, the food (chocolate cake) and the crew were top notch. Thanks for a spectacular week!

I feel that 10 days just wasn't quite enough time with you!
I knew this trip would be epic when our shark whisperer (Grace) came back from a first snorkel with an aquarium of treasures (starfish, conch, baby eels, triggers fish and not one but 2 octopus!). We weathered a couple rainy days with a marathon beading extravaganza of of course a hat beading contest- will remembers jays victory "Help me"- did someone "Say Snacks?". I did my best to soak up every little detail (bump in the road) in this last Bahamas charter for some time.
To say that meals were perfect seems redundant, but its important that you know how gifted you are. We feasted like kings and queens. We couldn't possibly have enjoyed the trip without our fearless leader (and constant good sport)! You are always gracious, and accommodating and we appreciate you more than you know.
Leaving the Bahamas seems bitter sweet as I'll miss the turquoise waters and the mangroves, but adventure awaits in the BVI!
Bless you both

I could fill the entire book with all the wonderful memories that you helped us create, but that would leave no room for others to journal their good wishes...

Thank you for feeding us some of the best food we've ever eaten, motoring us to every "must see" spot in the BVI and entertaining us with stories your own adventures. I feel like we came to Ether as customers, but left as friends.
We truly could not have had a more enjoyable vacation. Thanks for the memories.

You are incredible!!
You made this trip so wonderful for all of us from good morning muffins, eggs, biscuits and gravy and ok so much more, to all of the mouth-watering meals you made with all of us in mind. You are so thoughtful, and we are all grateful to call you family. These moments are what make us remember what this life is all about. I'm grateful to share this with you and with our family.

Thank you! Thank you! For all the laughs, water skiing, smooth sailing and delicious dining. You’ve all made this vacation for me & my family so special and memorable. I had the best time ever! Thank you for sharing your passion for this beautiful place, culture, history & sailing with us. Have a great summer,

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!

Review from crews previous yacht. The trip was amazing but the crew were the real stars. What a wonderful captain with a unique ability to be both fun loving but also in control and was always very aware of things and making sure everyone was safe. Chef is incredibily fun loving, nurturing, and resourceful. We laughed as our boat was the one that was first to beaches, got the best spot and constantly the go to for questions, ingredients and laughter. They have the ability to make everyone feel like family, to ensure an amazing vacation and they radiate joy! Highly recommend sailing with them of ever given the opportunity.

Thank you for the most awesome trip! Thank you for being the most wonderful crew family and for many wonderful memories, start to finish, we will always cherish our time in the many memories we carry with us.

Thank you both so much for making our vacation so special. It was such a relaxing week and the tour stops and food were amazing. We will never forget the beautiful days and fun time we had with our friends and you two fit right in. We have much appreciation for all of your efforts to make this so special. It has been an absolute pleasure meeting you and I really hope we can do this again sometime! Grazie!

Thank you so much for an amazing trip! The food was amazing and we loved every second of it. The scuba diving was fantastic as was the snorkeling. You were simply fantastic and you both exceeded our expectations. "thank you" isn't sufficient!
What a wonderful trip.

5 out of 5 all around. We had so much fun in the water with the toys aboard the boat.
Perfect captain providing us with the best locations for snorkeling.
Chef put so much effort into making the meals, and were over the top delicious!
The boat was very comfortable and clean and we enjoyed all the spots we stayed.
A+ for food
A+ for drinks

Wow! What an incredible week. Thank you for helping us create the most incredible memories for our family and friends. You surprised and delighted us 3 times a day with the most delicious food, the stops we made never disappointed us, the views, activities and guided tours and history and background were extraordinary. Thank you both for our trip of a lifetime. You are both amazing at what you do! Thank you

We had amazing time we all had on Relentless. First of all she is a BEAUTY from the outside to the inside just stunning. The crew was top notch - and worked so well together they made the charter. I cannot say enough about our time it was like we were in a dream and we cannot wait to do it again!

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) This was our first charter family vacation and wished we had done it sooner! It was the best family vacation we ever experienced. For the first time, as parents, we were not exhausted after the vacation for having to plan daily excursions and meals throughout the trip. The captain was incredible with our three teen boys. He kept them busy everyday. His patience and thoughtfulness with teaching the boys how to wakeboard was a highlight. His daily excursions were out of this world! He knew all the special spots and was able to get us in and out well before the tourist crowds. He was so kind and willing to answer all our yachting questions as we are planning on purchasing a similar boat when we retire. The chef was equally remarkable. Her food was out of this world! My picky boys cleaned their plate every single meal! They kept our drinks full, bellies filled and memories over-flowing. By the end of the trip, they felt like family and it was hard to say goodbye. I cannot recommend this crew enough for a family experience that will last a lifetime!

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!

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.

Review from crews previous yacht. What a spectacular week onboard. The boat is top-notch. The weather was amazing. The sights were extraordinary, the water toys were so much fun. The hiking was fantastic. The food was delicious and creative, but at the end of an unforgettable week the crew is the reason we had such an incredible experience. Captain was as keen ever keen throughout and was fully engaging in all activities. It was obvious he is far more skilled at fishing than at Beach Olympics! Chefs meals were so delicious. We couldn’t stop eating, even though we are full! Each of you are now part of the extended family and we wish you all much happiness, laughter and love in your life so you are amazing team and we will never forget you.

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!!

Thank you to an utterly magnificent team and boat. We cannot thank you enough for providing us the perfect forum to celebrate 90 years of our beloved village elder, please never change this teams energy and passion for family and hospitality is unrivalled. We hope to see you all again soon.

It is extremely rare in life when you find reality substantially exceeds ones expectations. This was one of those times. Our week was in a word, extraordinary.

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!!!”

Review from crews previous yacht. What an amazing way to end our vacation! We had an EPIC week and then you came along and took it up another notch. We loved the food, the fun and the conversation. Can't wait to get back to watch the shooting stars on Viramar.

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 from the bottom of our hearts for making our trip on Indigo truly amazing! We have never had such wonderful food on a charter trip. The chef tailored every plate for our kids picky needs 🙂 The captain was witty and calming and we felt like family. We have truly made good friends and hope to see you very soon.

Thank you for an unforgettable trip. The yoga, food and excursions were fantastic. Thanks for the perfect sailing and island hopping. We hope to return and see you again in the future. Thanks again for a great trip.

We’re so grateful for this trip of a lifetime! We had a great boat and a great crew. Thank you for everything. The island hoppin’ and the food was amazing. We love your key lime pie! The islands are magical. Thanks for the memories!~

Thank you so much for the five star food, service, accommodation and scenic views. We had an absolutely wonderful time and look forward to the second 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

WOW!! More incredible than we could have EVER imagined! This amazing set up = memories for a lifetime!! Thank you, you have created a true paradise and we are so grateful that we have been able to experience it with friends.

This experience was amazing. Exceeded all our expectations. The Wanderlust is gorgeous. Our crew was the best! I highly recommend. Our entire trip was amazing and would love to do it again!

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!

Thank you so much for the most wonderful vacation. We all had the time of our lives. The food and drinks were amazing. The chef really outdid herself to make sure every one was happy with the food & trust me; the kids can be very picky! The crew were so good with the kids; they played games with them, jumped off the boat, snorkeled and were always super patient! We hope we can come back on again on a yacht vacation!

 

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!"

Our week with you far exceeded our expectations. Captain, your seamanship is exemplary: Any vessel, any ocean; we would sail with you. Great ride. Chef, you must have been tops in your class because the food you served was simply outstanding. Its not possible to find better. Our best wishes to you both, truly we loved our time with you and our trip was by far the best vacation ever! We will find you and do this again.

 

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!

Thank you so much for the most amazing week. Our family, spanning grandparents, kids, grandkids, and of course in-laws had the greatest time. Your knowledge of everything - from the local seas, to the cooking capabilities, to our family's varying preferences on everything - made it an especially remarkable experience. We had the greatest time, all because of you two. We will share below some thoughts from our own children/grandchildren, to whom you were particularly amazing. With the utmost thanks and highest recommendation.

Every meal we have eaten since departing the boat has been such a let down.
We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the most incredible and memorable week of our lives!!
EVERYTHING truly could not have been more perfect! From the first class accommodations, the five star meals, the gorgeous scenery, the incredible kindness of the crew. It was by far the BEST vacation we have ever had!

No “thank you” is enough but we can’t wait to do it again! We have been ruined as any trip from now on will be tough to compete!

The boat and crew were amazing! The only thing we had a problem with is having to leave 🙂

What a wonderful week. You truly exceeded all expectations. From the sea turtles at Treasure Island, to the back flips off the boat, the shot-ski at the Willy T, into the Caves of darkness and Dante’s inferno. You have spoiled us with all your hospitality. You guys made the trip!

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

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.

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!

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!

Thank you providing my family and with the most amazing trip around the BVI. This vacation is one that I'll look back on with fond memories and lots of laughs for a lifetime. Initially, I was a little nervous about living on G3 for close to a week; I'd never spent such a long time away from land before. Happy to report that I have discovered a new favorite travel method, and hope that I will be able to do something similar to this again in the near future. I want to give a special shoutout to the chef for working with all of my family's dietary restrictions; I am aware of how annoying it is to have to make like 6 different plates for one dinner and completely understand if we are known as the charter who would only eat chicken and lettuce after this. I wish you both the best on your future charters. Thank you so much again!

How do you describe perfect and extraordinary? - Our week on Oceana with the two of you. You are neat and tidy - Please come visit us in Montana. This is a genuine invitation!!! God truly blessed us with the opportunity for this trip, celebrating anniversaries, experiencing the beautiful BVI's, but especially the change in crew! Chef your delicious meals day after day truly spoiled us - each day we were excited to discover what you lovingly prepared - you are an artist in the kitchen! Your beautiful smile and sunny personality lightened every day. Captain, we always felt safe with you as our captain. Your skills showed us everything you did we knew without a doubt that you could handle any situation that might arise. You are a joy to be around and a gracious host. We won the lottery with you for our captain. We are already planning our next trip back wiht a grandaughter. BVI 2023 - memories that will last a lifetime!

We had the vacation of a life time. Our itinerary was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The food on the yacht/charter and in the local restaurants and bars was amazing. The crew went above and beyond to keep us full and satisfied. The cocktails were also fabulous, both on the boat and in the bars. We enjoyed the beaches, water sports, dancing, singing, and all the new memories we made.

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.

What can we say... you guys were incredible! From a super passionate captain & very thoughtful dive instructor to an amazing chef and dive master, your skills and capabilities were not soon to be forgotten. Although the old folks pooped out easily, you guys were fantastic with the very active teens...way to flex!!! We really enjoyed your hospitality and your company and will certainly miss our time together.

Everything about the trip was amazing! The food was spectacular: every single meal was new and so delicious. I ate too much because I couldn't stop eating the food chef prepared. Captain did a spot-on job of keeping us away from crowds, finding the best snorkeling spots and setting us up for stunning sunsets. I cannot recommend this crew and the Sandy Cinco enough. The service was perfect, and they know how to give the best BVI experience. We can't wait to come back!

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!

The Blue Gryphon was the most beautiful boat I have ever been on. We loved every detail from the comfort of the rooms to the amazing, attentive crew.

The crew did everything they could to make our trip a trip to remember! We actually never want to leave!! They might find us stowed away in one of the many beautiful bedrooms!

Thank you for a fabulous week. Great times doesn’t even really begin to describe the experience. Your willingness to share your version of heaven has been eye opening! For a kid from the deserts of the west I’ve never experienced what the sea has to offer. Thank you for showing me a world I didn’t understand or really knew existed. I am no sailor, but feel somewhat accomplished in the basics. Thank you all for an incredible experience. Cheers to the opportunity to do it sooner rather than later.

Very professional team! An unforgettable week. We felt at home!

We spent three perfect days with awesome crew, every member of the crew is worthy of praise. Everyone are big professionals! We enjoyed great pleasure from travelling. All the places we visited were incredibly beautiful. The route was correctly drawn up. The kitchen was on top. We were delighted with every culinary surprise of the chef. We are delighted with the professionalism of the Capt and his assistants. They are an ideal team with whom it is not scary to cross the ocean! Thank you.

Why, why, why do we have to leave. We love you like family now. You have provided a week with our family that we will never forget. Thank you could never be adequate. You took care of us all so well…you have protected us (the scared one at sea loves you because of it) Captain your knowledge and connections around Greece are incredible. Chef your meals were amazing. It was so much fun to have your reveals between each course. We never wanted to go out to dinner off the boat, you always took care of every detail made the most amazing cocktails. You kept all rooms in perfect order, made amazing tea and always remembered our favourite things. We loved laughing with you learning your expert card games. Aappreciated your watchful eye protecting us all in the water, appreciated your wisdom and advice. We are already planning our next visit with you. Much love thank you .

Amazing holiday! Thank you for an awesome week, five star, best time ever! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Thank you so much for making our trip unforgettable. The memories made with my Dad will be treasured. It is because of your attention to detail, charming personalities and passion to the love of sailing. We enjoyed getting to know you!

What a cruise, what a crew, and what a boat! The first experience on the Genny and words fail me to describe what we experienced! Everything was perfect, from the welcome to the service, the kindness and attention of all of you not to mention the absolutely delicious cuisine. Captain a big thank you for your time and your explanations every step of the way. You knew how to find the best spots everywhere and listened to our requests. Thank you so much for your kindness and attention. Don’t change a thing you are absolutely brilliant and made our stay on Jenny, so comfortable and pleasant Everything you did for us, always with a smile. What a dream holiday that makes us want to come back. The rest of your cruises and the next passengers are lucky to have you.

The captain and crew were fantastic. Captain is very accommodating and always wants to please. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The chef has produced some amazing food. Every meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Everyone is so attentive and helpful and always look after everyone very well. The boat is very comfortable in the week has been brilliant from the start the end we would not change your thing. Five Stars. Thank you.

We have chartered 2 other catamarans in the Caribbean, and the Kimata and crew are the best we have experienced. The crew gave us an extraordinary experience! We are delighted to come to the Kimata and we are sad to leave.

These days time move so quickly. Thank you for such a wonderful week were time seemed to slow a little and we got to create lifelong memories. We laughed, we ate, we played, we ate, we visited beautiful beaches and tours and ate some more!! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and genuine kindness. We will see you again soon.

This was our first catamaran experience on a private boat and you made it impossible to match this amazing experience. I don't know how we got so lucky to have all 3 wonderful sweet souls as our crew. Thank you so much.

What an amazing week! We are so thankful for the beautiful catamaran, but more importantly the wonderful crew. Our family vacation was made very more special with attentive service, wonderful food and incredible water sports and of course Captain keeping us away from the wind. This 7 day vacation was an important one and getting together with family on Alteya could not have been better. Thank you for your professionalism, making great cocktails and sharing a bit of yourselves with us. Hopefully there will be another time.

A proficient, present crew who made the holiday a delight. Thank you so much.

Amazing crew from the moment we stepped onboard! The food was unreal - every single meal. The crew have been wonderful, kind and caring. Thank you so much.

The crew were outstanding. The attitude was positive. The captain was safe and competent, and he found ways to navigate and put us in the places we wanted to be! He was outstanding and made for a great experience. The other two crew members were both excellent in their own right. The food food stood out and chef was extremely attentive and grateful at all times. This crew was stellar thank you thank you

Our cruise on Crazy Horse was fantastic!! The crew are a group of the kindest, most caring, attentive, humorous and wonderful people we have had the pleasure of meeting the boat is very comfortable and practical and perfectly suited to a cruise around the Greek Islands, led by a captain who is a true gentleman. The chef is first class and cooked a diverse variety of outstanding meals. All the crew provided us with a perfect service and even taught us to how to dance to Zorba!!!! This is the first time I have chartered a catamaran and the crew from Crazy Horse made it very memorable. Thank you so much.

Thank you for another wonderful trip. It was so fun and we are sorry to leave. We will miss you all and hope the rest of your season goes well. Chef - The love you put into your food makes us feel like family. Thank you for sharing your gift of cooking with us! You are so talented! First mate - You are a beautiful spirit. A person who others enjoy to be around because you have such good energy. Captain - You are a man of many skills. It is a pleasure to know you. Thank you all so, so much.

The crew were incredible, everything was so well done - excellent. Chef would accommodate special requests and food was always delicious. The crew always asked us our preferences and accommodated us. Thank you

We had a great experience. The timing was perfect for our activities, food was superb and our children had the best time!

We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The crew were so welcoming and professional. The food was wonderful. Thank you so much for making my 39th wedding anniversary so special - complete with cake and sparkling candles. See you next time.

We are very grateful for the kindness and consideration we have had from the crew this week. From the moment we met, they have been so welcoming. They have been understanding of our disabled son and have made it fun for all of us. Chef - what amazing food and a kind heart you have. Nicola was loving her swim and cooking sessions with you. Captain - The man who can find the best places with the least fuss. Stewardess - Thank you for being so patient with us. Thank you all for a great week.
