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.

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 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.

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!

Our chartered vacation was incredible. The crew were absolutely fantastic. From the small details to the new adventures every day, it could not have been a better experience. Ultra was a beautiful boat. Very well maintained, clean, and comfortable for everyone on the trip. The food was BEYOND our expectations! The chef is an incredible chef. The food was exquisite, the presentation was beautiful, and every day the menu was completely different. She was able to accommodate all of our dietary restrictions and made everyone feel special. Our Captain, went above and beyond to ensure we were having an amazing experience. They were extremely attentive to our requests and was very knowledgeable. Every aspect of the trip was planned out and there wasn’t a detail that was overlooked. It was my husband’s birthday, and they made sure it was a special and memorable one. I cannot speak highly enough about the crew. They are 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.

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.

My wife and I just finished a 6 night charter on the Zingara with our 4 adult kids and their significant others. Our party of 10 was completely comfortable with the 5 suite floor plan. We could not have asked for a better experience. Captain was an absolute professional who takes great care of the passengers and the boat. Safety was always his priority. the deck hand and stewardess catered to our every need and it was fantastic to have 2 scuba instructors on board. And then there was the food…. what a fantastic chef who blew us away every day with her amazing meals, 3 times a day!
This was the sixth charter for my wife and I, two in France and four in the BVI. There were none better or even as good as the Zingara. Congratulations on your magnificent sailing yacht and fantastic crew.

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!

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.

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 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!
