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!

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.

(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!

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.

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.

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.

We have chartered three times already and have had some extraordinary experiences.. none of them compare to Justified Horizons. It goes without saying that the boat is beautiful, she has everything that you could ever want. However, a charter is really “made” by her crew, and this crew are superb, fun, smart, accommodating and chef was a whiz in a galley kitchen. A wonderful experience all around!

(Review of crew’s previous yacht) Words fail. I cannot begin to say what this week has been for me; for us. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was amazing. The food- incredible, creative, tasty, inventive. Chef- thank you for taking all of our crazy needs/wants and crafting meals that were superb! Captain- your patience, sense of humor, and attentiveness is beyond appreciated. We are grateful for every single minute of this week. Thank you!

Thank you for the most amazing week. I have never seen the kiddos come out of their shell like this before. They adore you all so much and you created so many memories for them! Seriously, from the chef being in a mermaid costume, and giving giving cooking lessons and the captain teaching Eva her new favorite game- you guys cannot be topped! I have loved every moment from this trip and cannot wait for the next. Thank you for taking such good care of us!!

Our trip was too short! We already miss the blue water, amazing scenery, gourmet food and good company. This trip was so special and we can’t wait to do it again.

Thank you so much for an incredible week that we will never forget! You both blew away our expectations, from the amazing meals that the chef worked so hard on to the Great Captain. We loved every single day and every moment. You both were incredible hosts always making us feel so spoiled! We appreciate every detail and all the beautiful spots you took us to! Can't thank you enough!"

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!

No idea where to start… this has been a trip to remember for a lifetime. It is our 25th anniversary and we chose 4 of our favorite couples. Our trip here has surpassed our expectations by far! The location and the boat were amazing. The difference maker was the crew. The food was as great as I have ever experienced at some of our favorite restaurants. Your hospitality, personalities, etc. made the trip!!! Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I hope to see you both again.

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

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was an incredible week, mostly because your hospitality made every moment onboard Amaya so special. From the meals to the activities to the local knowledge and sailing skills. It was beyond all of our expectations. The food was beautiful and the BVI a piece of paradise. It would not have been nearly as good without this stellar crew. You 3 made this trip so special onboard Amaya.

Thank you for making our family vacation an absolute Amazing experience! Couldn’t have dreamed up a better way to celebrate mom’s and brother’s birthday, complete with amazing sunsets and even a rainbow. Beautifully presented gourmet meals and daily mimosas were the icing to the cake. Thank you for showing our family new places.

The crew are really special people…friendly, thoughtful, service oriented, always available to help, professional, lovely. They are truly amazing crew. We highly recommend them. No words would adequately describe the miraculous dishes that came out of that galley! I was wondering how the chef would pull off another week of fabulous cuisine without repeating dishes we experienced last year, but she did!! We didn’t request new dishes but her creativity and presentation impressed everyone. Our experience on Karma was top class, and we will most certainly do it again!

Above and beyond friendly and accommodating! The food wasn't good, it was FANTASTIC!!! Absolutely well presented!!! Beautiful areas! The captain knew exactly what we wanted and he made sure we were there. This was the best vacation any of us have ever have. It was relaxing, It was adventurous, It was exciting and it was new! The Crew made us feel at home. They worked so hard so we could sit back and relax! Thank you!!

IWhat an amazing week. We had the time of our lives. Trip far exceeded our expectations. Saw some amazing scenery - the islands are fantastic - the food was out of this world - This crew is the best!! The variety of foods completely left us amazed at your culinary skills. We had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed all the water activities - We look forward to the possibility of sailing with you in the future. Love you guys and happy sailing to you.

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.

We know it would be a fabulous trip, but the experience surpassed our already high expectations! Sara and Mike - you are an incredible team that created and environment so calm, so perfect, so peaceful, and so satisfying! The food was divine! Snorkeling was spectacular…and the sailing was ideal… full of big winds blowing just the right way! We appreciate how you anticipated every need and offered lots of options to ensure each of us had a spectacular vacation! Thank you so much Cynthia for sharing your beautiful boat and crew! Looking forward to our next adventure together!!

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!

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

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.

We had an amazing family vacation on Ultra and we cannot recommend the crew enough. They took us to beautiful spots for snorkeling and hiking (not that we wanted to leave the boat) and out to some stunning beaches. The boat is new and extremely well equipped. We especially enjoyed the floating dock that we could use at the floating taco bar. No need to wait for a table! The chef is super organized and a sensational chef. Truly an all around exceptional vacation!

Our Dearest Crew- beautiful people, amazing week! We cannot THANK YOU enough for this experience! The food we have never experienced any so wonderful! Your knowledge of the boat, this area and places to stop and snorkel are unsurpassed! We are in love!! The “okay guys” clap will be missed! Until we meet again, which we will!

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!

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.

We cannot express in words how much fun we had this week traveling through the Exumas with you! Thank you so much for this fantastic week. We had the best spots and lots of good times on the boat. We cannot believe the week is already over. It was such a fabulous trip with wonderful food and great adventures. Thank you for making this adventure a memorable one!

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

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.

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

(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

The crew were fabulous. They exuded warmth and friendliness and made all of us feel most welcome onboard. We fell in love with them! We felt completely at ease with both crew members. It was readily apparent they knew what they were doing. Considering there were 10 guests and just two crew members, the service was outstanding. They worked tirelessly to insure we never lacked for anything. They were unfailingly pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful. The chef served so many delicious and varied meals (and oh, so much food) that our eyes popped – shortly before our stomachs! Everything was delicious. Barefeet Retreat had a large mat it put out behind the boat which the kids loved. The captain took them tubing on two occasions and they snorkeled throughout the trip. The noodles were most welcomed by the adults. Shaun and Hayden also used the paddleboard on a couple of occasions. Mary even rode the tube once. Our satisfaction was High, high, high. The catamaran was roomy enough for 10 and I can vouch for the ample size of our shower. Everything on board was quite comfortable.

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!

Not sure how to even begin to review our 10 day trip with Capt Karl and Chef Nikki. The boat was immaculate and very well maintained. The bedrooms were spacious and the living area extremely comfy to lounge while sailing or just to hang out. There is enough room to lounge in the front, back or up top if you need space. Capt Karl is very knowledgeable of sailing and is willing to teach you along the way if you want to learn. He is also an amazing photographer and would take pictures of us on our hikes and around the boat. Chef Nikki, there are no words for her cooking. Every meal we had was as if we were eating in a fine dinning restaurant. At the end of our trip she even offered to provide some of our favorite dish receipts. Both Chef Nikki and Capt Karl have been in the area/profession for a long time and their knowledge of the area is amazing. Our group learned a lot about the area and sailing while on our trip. The next time we charter, we would go back with this crew in a heartbeat.

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

As the title says, this was an amazing trip! If I have to summarize my review in one sentence, it will be "we felt like we were millionaires". The boat was great and it had all the toys you need to have a good time. It has a lot of space (boat space), and the gigantic fly-bridge, is a most! But what made the difference was the crew. OMG, they make you feel like you are a millionaire. We were a group of 10. Three families, 6 adults and 4 "kids" (between 18-20 year old). The crew: I can say sooo many amazing things about each of them individually that the review will be five pages long. So I'm going to be general. First of all, we felt safe 24/7 through the whole week. I can go with the Captain across the Atlantic with no problem...but if we bring Troy to keep my glass full (he kept our glasses full in the boat, in the water, at the beach, etc, etc), and the Chef to keep my belly full (the food was out of this world...and since this is my review, I give Chef Jody 6 stars).
Anyway, they made us feel like we were all family...of course, a millionaire family 🙂 ...which we are not 🙁
I just want to end my review by saying, Touch The Sky Crew...we love you guys!!!

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!

We had an amazing trip! I will say that it was very stressful in worrying about testing positive prior to the trip but fortunately, we all made it and had a blast! The crew were amazing hosts! A great captain who had a calm demeanor even when the belt on our generator blew up and we were without power for 2 hours. He found a spare belt and had the boat up and running quickly without any hiccup in the schedule. The chef’s cooking was so good that even our picky eater who would prefer chicken fingers over a fancy meal, loved everything she had to offer. It was also pretty cool that she grew up in St. Johns and knew all of the best places to go. One of the coolest things we did was see a band playing on the back of one of the catamarans. We pulled up some floaty’ s and a cooler of drinks and had a great time. After the band was done playing, we visited Pizza Pi IV which was a floating pizza “food boat???” It’s going to be tough to top this trip!

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 absolutely loved our experience aboard Sea Boss with you both. You embraced our family with your warm spirits and created the most relaxing and fun vacation we could possibly imagine. Your sincere intention to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for all was evident in every detail. From the thoughtfully designed itinerary to the exquisite meals - taking into account all of our eating quirks! We loved and noticed every wonderful aspect of the trip; beautiful table settings, on demand bumps on the tube, meals to die for filled with healthy and fresh ingredients. (how is that even possible on a boat?), tasty cocktails, perfect land excursions to stretch our legs, captains corner, patient time hanging out with our remora fish, kindly helping our kids (and us) learn about boat life and paddle board rescues!! At the end of the day life is about the connections we make and the experience we have together. You have given us the gift of the chance to form memories and family bonding that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful.

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

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

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

It's hard to find words that accurately describe my experience which don't sound like generic exclamations or empty superlatives. Amazing. Magnificent. Splendid. Awesome. These are all passable and yet, somehow only hint at what I felt during our week-long journey in the BVIs. The crew are very special. Both are smart, experienced, funny, skillful, caring, knowledgeable, and charming. Extremely capable apart, yet a fantastic team together. I will forever measure other boat crews against them - my litmus test for how it should be. The chef just knocked it out of the park when it came to food. Not only was her menu selection spot-on with our tastes, her execution was among the very best - especially considering it all came from a tiny kitchen rocking to and fro! She is also a very competent first mate - always at the ready to moor the boat, furl a sail, help a diver out of the water, batten down the hatches, or drop the anchor. The always affable captain was a diligent and discerning captain as well as divemaster. He excelled at making decisions to maximize both our enjoyment and our safety. With a diverse group on board - some divers, some snorkelers, some landlubbers, etc - it was no small task for him to select pleasure stops, land excursions, and overnight anchors/moors that suited everyone, but did so with aplomb. Plus, he makes the *best* painkillers 😉 This was my first trip to the BVIs. I wasn't sure what to expect in the aftermath of hurricane Irma but let me be the one to tell you that the spirit of the people that work these waters and live on these islands, is indomitable. It may not be the same as it was a year ago, but those changes did nothing to attenuate our joy of being there. In closing, let me not try to wrest more-nuanced adjectives from the English language and just simply say what really matters. We had so much fun. We were happy. We laughed. We marveled. We dove and ate and sailed and soaked up the sun. And we made new friends. This trip was perfect.

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

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

How much can we praise the beautiful boat, the fabulous crew, and the gorgeous environment? The catamaran is lavish and comfortable, both topside and below. Our stateroom was private and cozy and the decks were spacious, with sun or shade abundantly available. The food was scrumptious and elegantly served. The attention to detail was amazing -- there were festive napkins and napkin rings different each day! And the food was more than we ever imagined could be prepared on a boat. The chef is everything described in the brochure. The captain is a superb sailor and entertaining host. But be careful -- she has a mischievous streak and will whip the water tube hard enough to fling you into the water! Overall, the Island Kisses charter is a marvelous way to vacation.

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!

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!

Spending a week with you on Location was better than imagined. Both our families were able to see the Exumas in a way many can't, eat world class food and enjoy the time together that is hard to find nowadays. The catamaran was ideal in every way and the tender made little trips off the boat fantastic. We even caught a grouper! The boat was ideal, but adding you two to the trip makes it worth doing again! Thanks for everything you did!

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!

The yacht and crew are outstanding. I teared up when I left. We are new to sailing crewed charters and weren't sure what to expect – but I never expected the level of service that they gave. Beginning with the very first day, they intuitively knew how much to hang out with us so that we didn't feel alone but not so much that it felt intrusive. They would walk us to places so we knew where to go on times we were just with our family, but happily they also joined us on multiple occasions so it was a perfect blend. Honestly, I cannot imagine a more perfect crew. We had an amazing vacation. I have nothing negative to say in any way – I can't even think of any constructive criticism. They were fantastic.
