Yachts for Romantic Charter

What a wonderful week we had. The cruising, sailing, snorkeling, and the meals were beyond our wildest expectations! But best of all were you two, who couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. We are headed home with warm memories and a repertoire of new games to play. All the best!

Thank You Both for the best holiday we have ever had! The two of you truly are what makes this boat so special. It was a treat to get to spend a few days with you guys. we are going back a lot of pounds heavier from all the incredible meals you cooked us! But, seriously... Thank you guys so much for making us feel so welcomed! We will miss you both lots and will forever remember you both!! Can't wait to see you both again and hear about the wedding,

Ether is brand new and is fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens and modern bathrooms. Individual yeti cups for everyone in our group. We loved the cooler of fresh, filtered water each day. Every type of mixer and alcohol we could want for making drinks. Our captain was also an excellent bartender who made perfectly balanced cocktails for us. The chef is a very talented chef who prepared amazing meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We especially loved the beautiful charcuterie boards she would make for a late-afternoon snack. Perfect for when we were hungry coming back from snorkeling or diving. Lunch and dinner meals were perfectly paired with wines. She is also a dive master and we felt very comfortable with her leading us on dives as beginner divers. The captain is a very calm and capable captain. We felt very safe with him and he was very friendly and easy to talk to.

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 the most fantastic week, it was the perfect way to kidnap my family and create once in lifetime memories. The meals were delicious. I am amazed by the food that “poofs” out of a small corner kitchen-small but mighty. The activities while onboard were plentiful. Some lazy, some activate, the perfect balance for us. Thank you for reviving my 25 year dormant scuba career. We will cherish the map and look at it with fond memories as this was my dream for years and the reality is better than I dreamed it to be.

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!!!”

Thank you so very much for the hospitality and adventures. We've had the best holiday ever! You both contributed to that!

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.

2023 started with a gift-The Wanderlust arrived in time for our group and we got to be the first charter! The crew are experts at what they do. But, besides being a wonderful crew-they made us feel cared for and shared their knowledge and love for sailing, boatings and the BVI! Thank you for an amazing week!

 

Spending a week on Lady Catron was so much more than we could have expected. The islands are beautiful. The real attraction was watching Captain sail Lady Catron. From pulling out of the marina to playing Gilligans Island theme song during a little rain shower we knew we were in good hands. His expertise and care for Lady Catron were evident in everything he did. His care for us was evident as well, from keeping us up to date on our sailing plans, our island hopping and the snorkeling adventures ahead of us. He kept the toys and snorkeling gear always at the ready. Chef Emily just as impressive in Lady Catron's stocked kitchen. She prepared with ease and served with joy. She was great at accommodating our various food choices and preferences. We certainly felt silly with all our remarks with each bite but we couldn't help ourselves. Each dish was unique and delicious and deserving of praise. She also knew how to keep the party going with the extensive bar and fun drinks. Together they make a great team, and of course Lady Catron. This was a special trip for our family, one that will be one of our best! I loved that we were all together and all our decisions were made for us and our cares met. Forever grateful for this week.

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.

The yacht was absolutely spotless and beautiful. We were left wanting for nothing more. Everything we needed for the perfect vacation was available and in great working condition. The crew was spectacular. They provided the highest level of service possible. Everything, from the amazing food to the fantastic guidance on where to go and what to do, was perfect. I truly can't imagine a better crew to work with. We left our trip feeling as if we've made life long friends. The food was fantastic. It was delicious and the variety was great. The chef really worked to understand our likes and dislikes and adjusted every meal to fit our needs perfectly. Since arriving home we've been craving the food!!

The captain was a fantastic captain. Not only did he work tirelessly to keep the yacht in perfect shape but he was also a great guide during the trip. He catered our itinerary around the needs of our entire group. Whether that was extreme amounts of snorkeling for some or extreme relaxation and bar hopping for others. We all got what we wanted out of our week long vacation of a lifetime!

The BVI's were incredible! I can't imagine a more beautiful location.

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!

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!

From start to finish this trip was AMAZING! The crew did an excellent job of picking just the right spots for us to enjoy the good life. We had some great snorkeling and lots of fun playing with all the toys. The chef did an amazing job on all of our meals, it is going to be difficult to get back in a routine of not eating as much. Oh, and I almost forgot! we started this whole adventure off with some delicious rum punches when he picked us up at the airport. Thank you so much for making this family vacation so memorable!
