Charter Yachts available for New Year's week

Wow, where to start with Mariah Princess!! We had an incredible trip. The boat itself is beautiful. The master bedroom cabin was very spacious and offered Mike and I double sinks and a walk-in closet…pretty spectacular for boat living. The other bedrooms were perfectly sized for our kids and nephew. We loved hanging out on the back of the boat. Aside from socializing around the great teak dining table, there were numerous cozy sofas and loungers back there to enjoy the sun. The boat had a fantastic flybridge area too which was a great spot to take in the views as we sailed. It also had an awesome hot tub! The tender was a fabulous boat too.

But the best part about Mariah Princess was definitely the crew!!! They went above and beyond to make sure our trip was memorable. The captain made sure to communicate our plans each evening and was very approachable and informative. He was always willing to help and accommodate our desires on the trip. He even took my son out on the tender for boat driving lessons (Peyton has his boating license). His first mate was the nicest guy! He was the first to jump up and agree to take my kid's wakeboarding, snorkeling, or tubing. He also did a hike with Mike and me in St Thomas. Simply an awesome guy! Our chef made dish after dish of amazing food, with a smile!! We ate so much and loved it all. She was super accommodating to my daughter too, who can be really picky. And finally our stew. She was sincerely the best we could have asked for! She was kind, wonderful with my kids, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and made everything about this trip better. She and our stew taught my kids how to wakeboard. Their patience and encouragement pushed my kids to success out there. It was awesome. She also did a one-hour morning yoga session for the girls one day which was out of this world. My daughter cried as we left the boat!! As you can tell we loved it!

(Review is from crew’s previous yacht) We had an absolutely amazing time. We loved everything from snorkeling, diving and sailing. The service and the food were terrific. The service and the food were terrific. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We were delighted that you guys were our crew!

Our trip was 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.

We had a wonderful time, the crew were phenomenal. The charter was a great success and everything went very smoothly. I only wish we could stay longer. Every part of the trip was great. The sites, the service, the food, the activities, the camaraderie, the ship. It was all perfect. Very much enjoyed the conversations that were had with each of the crew. Everyone of our group enjoyed every part of the trip. I very much hope to do this again, I’ve been spending the past two days trying to think of when to do this again and with who (both tricky questions to answer).


The hardest part was leaving.

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.

The trip was absolutely AMAZING! I'm not even sure there are truly enough wonderful words or space to describe how much fun we had and how fabulous the crew were. This is the first time we have ever lived on a boat for any kind of vacation. The USVI was beautiful. The crew is full of interesting tidbits bits about the islands and gave us all kinds of neat recommendations and information as we sailed along. &....well...the food was INCREDIBLE. The entire weeks menu was spectacular. The cooking skills are pretty awesome. The presentation of the food was beautiful as well. Thanks to him, I gained a good bit of weight on our trip. They were both so very gracious. They decorated for my birthday and made it very special. Then the very next day had Christmas decor up. The weather was beautiful. We so enjoyed our time with some of our friends who vacationed with us. They asked us at the end of the trip what our highs and lows were to this trip. I honestly could not think of any lows. Definitely one of our top 3 best relaxing vacations ever. They were both very accommodating. If we can swing it, we would definitely like to do another trip with them."

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!!

The crew were great! I would definitely recommend them to anyone with kids. The food was awesome but I quickly realized I was over eating by mid-week. 😉 The boat was awesome! They added a rain screen around the back of the yacht this season and it made all the difference because it was rainy. As you said, the showers were short lived, but definitely enough to get things wet. The rain screen allowed us to stay dry on the back which was great. I noticed many other boats didn’t have one but I think it’s a must have.

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

I’m struggling to write this as I find myself at a loss for words!! What an incredible gift you gave us by hosting us on your boat. You both have a true gift of hospitality that left us feeling like family. Thank you for all you did for us and the intentionality behind every adventure!! Best wishes on your future travels! Until we meet again:)

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!

Thanks for breaking in my sea legs. You are beautiful and lovely, but not as lovely as you are within. It is the crew that makes this vacation. Never change! We appreciate the patience and love you and everything you put into our hearts and bellies. Thank you for the memory of a lifetime.

We have just returned from the family holiday of a lifetime aboard Jan’s Felion. My husband and and I and our 3 children aged 15, 14 and 12 loved every minute! We are a well travelled family and have experienced some beautiful 5 star hotels together in great locations but what set this experience apart was the combination of the beautiful boat itself which was SO comfortable and spacious, the incredible team and outstanding food and warm hospitality and the fact that you experience new and exciting islands and adventures in the BVI each day of your 7 days on board, no two days are the same! From the minute we boarded in Tortola and tasted the chef’s delicious ceviche for lunch and the captain took us through a suggested itinerary for our week we knew we were in for a very special time. My husband and kids scuba dive and they arranged a beautiful spot for them to dive and for me to spend the afternoon (complete with wonderful pool loungers and a gorgeous boutique for shopping!). Our kids love wake boarding and the captain took them out on long excursions behind the tender. We explored pristine gorgeous bays and had super fun days enjoying delicious cocktails at beach bars. A stand out day for me was the day we hired a Moke and scooter and explored the beautiful island of Anegada. We enjoyed a day of beautiful snorkelling and the beach, fun island exploration and ended the day sun-kissed and happy having an amazing Lobster dinner with our Jan’s Felion family at Sam’s restaurant where we all competed in a limbo competition and danced the night away! The Jan’s Felion team
helped us create memories that our family will cherish always.

This past week has been filled with magical moments. We have been treated like royalty from start to finish! We can’t begin to thank you enough for your hospitality, kindness, incredible food, excursions and the list goes on! However, the icing on the cake is our new friendship with the two of you! Thank you from the deepest parts of our heart for such a memorable trip! Can’t wait for our paths to cross once again!

It would be hard for me to imagine a crew and a boat that was better than the Get Along. Our family of 5 (including two teenagers and one young adult child) was entertained and cared for as if we were royalty!! The food was amazing and the captain was a great host on the underwater scooter, snorkeling, tubing and all the other water sports. The chef took great care of me and my son as we experienced our first scuba dive in the Caribbean Sea. The dives were perfect for our skill level and we saw some beautiful underwater creatures and coral.

Our family has enjoyed our vacation in the beautiful US Virgin Islands! Our young adults love all of the water sports and scuba diving, Jim loves sailing and we all enjoy snorkeling and the delicious family meals. We appreciate your sailing knowledge ad skills that makes all of this possible. Although it is hard work, you make it look easy because of your cheerful attitude. We are grateful for this experience with you!! Thank you for a wonderful week!

We could not ask for a better vacation! A knowledgable captain and artist in the galley. You guys are super hosts. I am personally very grateful for the gift of your company and skills you have given to my family. I wish you all the success and happiness in the world!

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.

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

This was our first family vacation, on a sailing yacht. The crew were so wonderful from day 1! We learned so much about hikes off the islands, sailing, swimming holes, best food spots, and so much more. This was an amazing experience of a lifetime within the beautiful Virgin Islands. Hospitality was beyond expectations and hope to do another sooner rather than later! We loved every day and our kids couldn't have enjoyed it anymore than they did! Thank you many times over!

Having taken a few charters before, we could truly appreciate the experience and the excellent service that captain and chef provided us. They are a great team and were attentive to our every question and need. Wonderful chef and diver. The captain is a true seamen. We would highly recommend them to provide you a very memorable vacation.

Thanks for a truly extraordinary and memorable week. We couldn't have conceived of a more perfect vacation/50th birthday and anniversary celebration with our dearest friends. You two are the perfect team - a phenomenal marriage of grace, energy and exceptional capability. From the chef’s 5 star cookery; Captains cocktail hour and itinerary to the handling of the yacht; dive mastery; and your combined tour guiding, there simply aren't enough superlatives to capture all the perfect moments. Your home - stands by herself: gorgeous and enormous, and your neighborhood - what a match! It was a pleasure and a privilege to get to know you and share the week. You guys are awesome and no doubt our paths will cross again!

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!
