World Class

To the world's best team!
We cannot thank you enough for this magical week on Aura. The boat is, of course, spectacular, but you all made the experience PERFECT. You spoiled us for seven days, and indulged our every whim and desire - including ones we didn't even know we had.
You fed us with care and creativity - and not just our bellies (bigger now)! You found new ways to delight us every day: beautiful vistas, adventures, small pleasures, and many more delights.
Chef is truly a master in the galley - we couldn't have been happier or more impressed with every single meal! Each one was photographed and documented.
Stewardess - our partner in hikes, and cocktail making, you think of everything, even before we know we want something! We loved our games nights with you and escorting puppies.
Captain - what can we say? Your energy is boundless, your sense of fun is infectious, and your expertise is world-class.
We could go on for days, but mostly thank you for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful.

Magical

Our week on Aura was truly magical - every day was an amazing new adventure. The memories our family shared will last a lifetime.
I can only imagine the amount of planning and preparation that goes into each guest's stay. You three made it seem so relaxed and easy; we can't thank you all enough.

A Piece of Perfection, A Slice Of Heaven!

Our time on Aura was a piece of perfection, a slice of heaven!
We'll attempt to put into words the synchronization of Mother Nature, God, endless beauty in all forms and your amazing team of three. Their perfect harmony was long lasting rejuvenation for our should and spirits.
I've spent many years in the BVI on many beautiful boats, but Aura is without doubt the winner of all; hands down in perfecting the balance of hosting and care for her guests. The four of us all enjoyed our stay onboard in many different ways but I think we all end this memorable, magical and fabulous time knowing we can't wait to come back.
Chef, your skills in creating culinary masterpieces will not be forgotten! Captain and Stewardess, what an itinerary, it was like you knew us already and all our wishes for dreamy anchorages every night.
Stay well and healthy, thank you for a beautiful trip.

Memories That We Will Cherish For a Lifetime!

What an amazing week with an amazing crew! This is our second trip with you and we knew to expect no less. You have given us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!
We have been blessed to take such a trip, blessed with people that have taken such wonderful care of us, and blessed with new friends.
We truly appreciate the tremendous amount of planning and hard work you all put into making our week so easy and incredibly relaxing. Those of us who sail have ultimate respect for your skill and knowledge.
It is sad to say goodbye, but we hope this is not our last sail with you! Stay well!

Best Vacation EVER!!

Best vacation EVER!!! 10 STARS!! Truly, this vacation has topped all of our adventures - and we will be back!
I have been to the BVI twice before on a self-crewed yacht, and while the adventure was fun, it paled in comparison to this crewed yacht.
This is the most professional, most experienced crew that anyone could want for a vacation, and it was worth every penny.
The Yacht: What can one say to a brand new 65-foot yacht that is fitted with every option for a luxurious space. The owner spared no expense, it is truly gorgeous, the perfect vessel for this amazing trip.
The Crew: This crew was simply amazing. The three of them were so compatible and professional that you could feel the seamless movement of their service floating about.
Not having experienced a crew prior, I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was a little concerned about being able to properly relax with three more personalities onboard. But now I feel I couldn’t have achieved that level of true relaxation without them. I believe because of their experience and professionalism they absolutely knew how to tailor this trip to our needs. They instantly felt like family or a good friend that you’ve known for years. So unexpected and perfect!

The Adventure: Having an experienced crew to tour the BVI is truly the best way to go. Captain and stewardess planned an amazing tour incorporating our preferences and enhanced it with locations and special sightings that we didn’t know existed. The galaxy of starfish, the hidden secrets of the BVI that a self-crewed yacht would never know, it was a whole new experience.

Captain: Not only a seasoned Captain, but he also had endless energy to keep our trip fun for our entire family. I was so happy that he spent time with my 16-year-old son to teach him about sailing, fishing, foil surfing, scuba diving, halyard swinging, cliff jumping and sea-bobbing. He planned each day from morning until night while tirelessly entertaining my high energy teen. It was such a nice break for me as a widow and single parent. It warmed my heart to see my son learning and enjoying himself every day. It’s an experience he will never forget!
First mate and stewardess: so professional and nurturing. Her anticipation and timing of our needs were perfectly endless. She would have cool lemongrass scented cloths and ice water ready after each excursion and anticipated our need for a refilled drink or dry towel throughout our trip. She made us feel like we’d been friends forever. I know they have a big job running this yacht, but if there was ever any stress for her or any of the crew, you would never know it. So perfectly matched, worked seamlessly together. Such a joy to see.
Chef: All I can say is Food, Food, Food! Yum, Yum, Yum! He is the most amazing Chef! I just wanted to take him home with me. I ate entirely too much because my taste buds were so happy every day! You will not go hungry, and he will cater to your every desire. Thank you for spending endless hours with my daughter letting her join you in some of the meal preparations. You were a blessing!

This trip was the perfect pace and perfect escape from reality to relax and rejuvenate. Having someone else in charge, planning and taking the reins was so refreshing, especially for a single parent who is always in the driver’s seat. It was so nice to be a passenger and enjoy the ride.

Unforgettable Trip

You three are the boss. You sailed us, fed us, kept us in drink. Without you, we'd all be lost! Seriously - you are wonderful humans to be around. You each made this time so special in every way. Thank you for the gift of relaxation. Your presence, calm and ever-attentive care made this an easy and special time. Thank you for every special little things it all added to an unforgettable trip.

Grateful For The Experience

How can a few words possibly capture what a positive impact the you tow have made on our lives! We knew this week would be a life experience like  no other, but we underestimated the amazing friendships we would develop with you both. We are so grateful that we got to experience this with as our incredible guides through the islands. Thank you both for all you did for us, but more importantly, thank you for who you are as people!
