CHARTER YACHTS IN ST. MARTIN, ST. BARTS AND ANGUILLA

I wanted to let the experiences of our fantastic week onboard Tellstar to settle in before adding a personal note so the time has come to share some recollections of our charter. Even so I’m sure I’ll miss a few highlights. Let’s just start with our warm and welcoming greeting from the entire crew and our first view of the absolutely gorgeous Seventy7 Lagoon. Nothing short of a spectacular yacht – we didn’t know it yet but it didn’t take long for us to realize the crew was equally spectacular in their own rights. You all must be experienced at keeping your laughter under wraps to the land dwellers trying to find their sea legs but we had an especially challenging experience as the Christmas winds came late this year and we had pretty consistent winds in excess of 20 - 25 knots. Thank you for making us feel safe at all times.

Each of you have such individual talents but collectively – what a team! I loved when the chef sent the deckhand to a nearby yacht so he could have a moment of puppy time – nice and considerate to provide surprises to each other when the opportunity presents itself. And you never stop. We’re enjoying water activities while you are in the water keeping that yacht looking beautiful. We’re busy with breakfast and you’re all making up the cabins/likewise dinner and turning down the beds. So fun to walk out of my cabin to hear the crew having a very serious discussion on the table settings for the evening – humorous to me but just a simple example on how the details were important to you at every turn.

This was a family charter for guests with prior charter experience. Both the parents and the two boys thought the crew were phenomenal. They were all really in tune with the guests and understood what was needed, and not needed, to ensure they had exactly the type of service and experience they hoped. The chef’s meals were spot on each time for the adults and the boys. She did everything perfectly. She was everywhere taking care of them and the yacht. The deckhand was great with the boys and this was a very key element in everyone’s enjoyment. Scott had great praise for the captain and the way he managed every aspect of the entire program. The charter experience was ideal for the family and this was due in large part to the way the crew paid attention to the guest preference notes and to the telephone comments. Operating a charter yacht under the current conditions is a challenging task for captains and crews. The captain and his team pulled this one off in such a casual and yet professional and thorough manner that the guests were relaxed and at ease the entire charter. We were very impressed with ANGELEYES, the space, the décor the open feel, the excellent selection of watersports toys and especially with the yacht’s great condition and cleanliness.
A great indicator of a charter guest’s satisfaction is if they wish to return and if they recommend the yacht and crew to their friends. The crew exceeded expectations and the clients could not be happier. From the operational side we were extremely pleased with every aspect of the charter.

This trip has been a lifetime dream for me and you made it beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you!

What an absolutely heavenly week! It is not often that a trip we’ve taken has actually exceeded our expectations, but this past week with you certainly did! Everything was perfect – the food, as evidenced by our continually cleaned plates, the activities you provided and the Anastasia herself! Most of all, though was the crew! You both couldn’t have been more of a treat. You were so professional, we knew we were in good hands, and such fun! Thank you for an amazing week – we loved being ‘Fun-Seekers’ with you both!

Cannot express how much we enjoyed our trip with this crew and this boat. From the second we stepped on the dock to when we got off they were nothing short of amazing. From our entire group Thank you!!!

What a great Captain! He was engaged in every aspect of the boat not just driving from spot to spot. And the chef was a great chef and wonderful personality. All of her meals were outstanding in flavor, and the presentation was on point. You will never go hungry with her around. Indy was great as well. We were her first charter, and she handled everything like she had been in the field for months. Mare Blu was a very nice motor cat. There was plenty of room on the boat for a party of 6-8. The front of the boat did not have a net which made for a lot more room. All of the chaises and cushions were very soft. The beds were very comfortable with very soft sheets which is very important to us. Our itinerary worked our really well. After breakfast the crew would start the day laying out the map figuring our next stop. We were a little worried that we would not be able to get off the boat much because of the pandemic, but this is not the case. There are several places to get off have a walk, drink, or bite to eat. There were plenty of activities to enjoy on the boat. Our son enjoyed the BOB the most. You have about eight different things to choose from, which is more than enough.

Another fabulous week of laughter, sun, snorkeling, adventures, MacDuff’s, piggies, and lots of
Mexican Train. Chef, the food was out of this world! We can’t tell you how much we love
and adore you all. Please promise us that you can and will come visit up in Maryland and we
would love to make you guys feel as loved as you made us feel throughout this week. Your
attention to detail is amazing. We would follow you anywhere. Even to the iguanas. “yikes!!!”
See you in a few weeks. . . months! (I promise)

Our trip was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We rank it our top family trip, and we've taken quite a few of them. First of all the crew took our experience to the next level with their knowledge, professionalism, willingness to our accommodate our requests, and their overall attitude and demeanor. This work was totally impressive and they kept everything running smoothly all week. When they had a few down moments we had a great time hanging out with them, playing games and enjoying all the water sports. It would not have been a better match for us. Tranquility is a beautiful catamaran that accommodated our group well. It's very comfortable, all systems were in top working order, the crew kept it pristine and sparkeling, and we felt like we were in a floating resort. Thank you. It was over the top, epic trip.

Please note review is from previous yacht: Thanks for a fantastic week! My entire family had the time of their lives. Every site, every meal, every location choice was spot on. Thank you for your patience in answering all of our questions, most of which were repeated many times. The activities were endless and so much fun! The boat was really comfortable and we felt at home with you guys from the get go. We really cannot wait to come back! We cannot recommend your charter highly enough. It was awesome!

We had a GREAT trip! The crew were both very gracious and accommodating hosts. The perfect mix of excellent service and attention with fun, adventure and excitement! The boat was a perfect size for the four (six with the crew) of us. The boat was very clean and well maintained....you can tell they are very particular! In a good way....I'd let them crew my boat any day! The captain set us out on a great itinerary with very little repeat from our trip in February. We wanted to spend a lot of time in the water and we accomplished that. We snorkeled and the girls did some scuba diving in a number of different beautiful locations. The meals on the boat were all delicious and very well presented. Knowing we had some non-seafood eaters on the boat, chef took the time and effort to prepare seafood for me and Donna, and an alternative meal for the girls...filet no less! The girls took "meal pics" every day that I'd be happy to share with you.

Thank you form the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care of us! You are the dynamic duo, the ying and yang and the perfect combo to make our sail a dream come true. Captain, you always made us feel safe and your expertise always appreciated. Chef my lovely - you are a bright light - cooking is one thing- beyond anything we have ever had, but your smile and laugh could change the world. I hope one day we can meet up.
Fair winds to our forever friends.
Bruce, Eileen, ann and Patty

Our group consisted of adult couples who have never chartered on a boat and our experience was amazing. The captain and chef went above and beyond to ensure that we all had a wonderful and comfortable experience. All daily arrangements were made which allowed for us all to relax. Thank you both for a truly unforgettable experience and we hope our paths cross again!

Thank you for everything! What an amazing week! Outstanding mixology, incredible food, gorgeous dives! We could not have asked for a better escape from the global pandemic... we will definitely return to Foxy Lady.

The trip was amazing. We all had boat loads-ha ha- of fun. The grandkids loved the crew as did we all.. They did their utmost to make the trip memorable and succeeded. The boat was amazing. We can't thank you enough for your last minute pull the catamaran out of the hat trick. They took us to places we remembered from our past trips and some we had not been to. All in all it was wonderful. The crew, the boat, the food- everything. Evenings after the kids went to bed when we weren't too tired ourselves, were chock full of games and drinks. Taboo, Pass the pigs, and a dice game the crew taught us brought on the laughs. Watching Jonah think he was steering the boat when it was on autopilot was hilarious. They had the grandkids write notes and put them in wine bottles and throw them overboard. We have videos and pictures to document our Island jaunts, including conch blowing with "The Pirate".

Thank you for such an AMAZING week! We started as passengers and as the week went on, we became more like family. Your hospitality and kindness were truly appreciated. Dani - you have mad skills in the kitchen! We loved your creative and tasty dishes - and your delicious cocktails! WELL DONE! Thank you, Ryan, for your great commentary throughout the week and always leading us in our off boat excursions. We felt so safe knowing you were in charge! Please look us up if you ever want to visit Minnesota!

When your kids look at you on the last day and say "I'm so sad this trip is over," you know it has been an incredible experience with lifelong memories. From the moment we stepped aboard the welcoming smiles and introductions, the delicious food, the humor and the overall vibe was specular. We are a family of 6 who have traveled on numerous vacations near and far, and this has definitely topped them all!! So, a sincere thank you to the crew for a successful giving is a magical journey. This is true paradise!

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!

Just a quick note to you guys to let you know we arrived safely back in Dallas with zero travel difficulty. Wanted also to again say thank you for a terrific week aboard the SV Callista...you two treated us royally and made it a special trip. We appreciate all of the extra effort all around...from special cocktails and creative/tasty food to early morning fishing and afternoon tubing....it was all above par and much appreciated.

Unfamiliar with this type of travel, I wasn’t sure what to expect and somewhat anxious but I was amazed at the accommodations, activities, and hospitality on the boat. Whether underway or on anchor, the 4-member crew was attentive to make sure all of Sur L’eau’s amenities were available for our pleasure. It was obvious they had planned ahead for every event but weren’t so rigid that they didn’t take advantage of entertainment they thought we would enjoy. Advanced planning was evidenced by live entertainment onboard for birthday and anniversary celebrations. It is this type of engagement with the guests and attention to the guest’s experience that sets this crew apart. Dining is always a big part of a vacation and I have to say the chef on this boat did a fantastic job. Each and every meal was well prepared. Lunch prepared with a tuna caught while traveling between the islands was greatly appreciated by the guests.Lastly, I would like to point out the size of the amenities in the staterooms. The bed, along with the shower, restroom and stowage were a very nice size, able to accommodate us very comfortably. All in all, I can’t think of a thing I would change about my trip or the way these guys manage the boat and the guest’s experience.

We had a great time, thank you! The boat was clean and well equipped. The harbors were scenic and peaceful. The captain is an excellent captain and great presence on the boat. The chef is a really positive and friendly person and very helpful the entire trip. She kept the boat tidy and kept us all well fed!
Thank you!
Hope to sail again one day,

WOW - Words cannot express our week with you both on board.... to say that our whole family are 'in love' with you both is an understatement....you are quite possibly earth angels! Lisa's 40th birthday trip around the islands has been phenomenal from start to finish. The sights, sounds, tastes and experiences you have introduced us to are tattooed in our minds and hearts forever... (too many to list!) The care, attention to detail, awesome food, drinks and story telling come from your genuine hearts and appears effortless, although we know you work super hard everyday to ensure our happiness - YOU ARE ROCKSTARS!!! Our vacation was about family connection, fun, celebration and LOVE - We leave with two new members of our family and are so looking forward to continuing this amazing journey called life with you both!!! We love you!

We spent a week aboard. The captain is extremely professional and knows the keys like his backyard. He showed us many remote spots that we would not have been able to visit any other way. We anchored in the most spectacular settings far away from anyone else. We spent hours snorkeling and kayaking, and swimming before breakfast. The chef cooked us incredible delicacies with fresh ingredients and surprised us with different meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. She also surprised us with great cocktails after activities and even cooked a birthday cake for our friend. The creative and artistic way she presented the food made us feel like being spoiled in a 5 star hotel. We were two couples and we each had our own cabin with private bathroom. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us plus 2 crew and the chef kept the boat spotless throughout the entire trip. They are amazing hosts and we cannot recommend them highly enough

Wonderful week with three boisterous children. The chef managed to feed myself, a fussy eater, and a difficult child (well done). The captain was amazingly patient with all water sports, they had a full week. Every day something different. A great time had by all. Well done Lady Fiona and her crew.

I truly wish words could articulate how amazing this vessel and crew are. We had a group of 2 and 2 are vegetarians. The chef catered every meal to fit everyone's taste and preference. I can only say if someone is wishing to book this yacht and crew, please don't hesitate to make the greatest decision you will ever make booking this yacht and crew.

My recent week aboard Maverick far exceeded my every expectation. I had high hopes for a unique adventure, however I never could have imagined the experience provided by Pat and his absolutely outstanding crew. Each exceeded any level of professional I have experienced. Our every need was anticipated in advance of our asking. Every request accommodate...and then some ! The food was some of the finest I have ever enjoyed. The chef is a joy. She made each hour of each day a memory to never forget. As for Pat, I could write pages of positive commentary. The captain is outstanding. His concern for the safety of the yacht and the passengers was always evident. His skills are reflective of someone far older. He insured that everyday was filled with an array of options for our choosing. Nothing was an imposition and every request granted with a smile and a pleasant attitude.

This trip greatly exceeded our expirations! Thank you Jospeh and Britta for the most amazing experience! Not only was it the best food and wine we have had in our lifetime, but it was truly the most wonderful crew, family and fires that make it so memorable. And we cannot forget Zoe, who is one of the sweetest and cutest golf - great at making you feel love and at home! We wish you all the best in your new venture and cannot thank you enough for inviting us for the maiden voyage!
We love you!
Scott and Nancy

To the crew of NAMASTE a beautiful ship and a great group. The captain for always answering my questions and for his knowledge. The crew for always having a smile and helping hand and also answering my questions. And the chef for her smile an each every wonderful meal!

You made our adventures onboard memories that will be on "the best" list for a lifetime! Chef, your creativity from the galley reflected exactly how hard you are constantly working, but you do it with ease, style and grace, making us feel so cared for. Captain, you are a Rennaisance man. You have poise, confidence, understanding and a gentleman's grace. You put all at ease immediately. Your drive will serve you well in all you do. As a team the two of you were a blessing to each of us in every way. We are leaving truly blessed.

Thank you all so much for an amazing adventure! Everything about it was perfect. The chef was exceptional in the kitchen. The meals you cooked were beyond amazing, more than we ever could have expected. Your hospitatlity made our experience one we'll never forget. Hopefully another one very soon.
