Yachts for Romantic Charter

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.

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!

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!

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!!

When we set out on out island adventure I knew we would be treated to a relaxing sail in a beautiful setting. What I could not have known is that we would be treated to spectacular cuisine, lovingly prepared at each and every breakfast, lunch, and dinner and snack break. I could not have known we would be treated to a captain who would also serve as our patient, creative, and knowledgable guide to the islands who would whisk us to the hidden gems, such as the ideal snorkeling and diving spots, that would make our trip truly special. Spending a week with your senses of humor, attention to detail, adventurous spirit, and steady hands truly took our vacation to a different level. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime and best of luck to you both.

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

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!

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!!!”

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 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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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!

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.
