Euphoria

The crew were the absolute best! They were kind, ensured we were taken care of at all times, and made us feel like family. It was everything we had hoped for!! The chef did an excellent job working the menu to a somewhat difficult group based on eating allergies and likes/dislikes. They had the week pretty much planned out but asked for our input. As they know the area so well, I would go with their recommendations. The live band in Christmas Cove was a blast. My goal for the trip was a fun family outing with relaxation and we definitely achieved that. Additionally, Euphoria is a beautiful boat, luxury, immaculate and has all amenities. A huge Thank you to Euphoria and her crew for providing our family a vacation we will never forget.

THE CREW ARE GREAT AT WHAT THEY DO: Exhibiting an acute attention to detail – no point of order was too small / nothing was overlooked to ensure the best experience. These guys care about delivering excellence / ensuring Euphoria’s guests have the best possible experience. Two examples here: (a) our group really enjoys live music. So how do you pull this off in a COVID-centric / very remote USVI environment? A somewhat bizarre / challenging request indeed. But Cory came thru by locating / booking the band “After Irma” who regaled our group with a brilliant 2.5 hour live performance on the fantail of Euphoria (for some of us it was the highlight of the trip) … and (b) I was hoping to find a little bar / haunt in Cruz Bay where I had spent some good memories back in 2003. The goal was to grab a quick libation and buy another T-shirt. As promised … I caught a ride to shore … found the place but it was temporarily closed. The jaunt still made for a very fun side excursion. Two days later … and totally unbeknownst to me … the captain had made his way back to Cruz Bay and found the bar when it was open / he bought me the T-Shirt I was seeking. Totally unnecessary … but you can imagine how that gesture made me feel.
THEY ENJOY WHAT THEY DO: Always seen with smiles on their faces … the crew seem to relish in their roles – which are quite challenging when you think about it. Catering to so many different preferences can be a tough task. But they do so with ease. No examples are more illustrative than (a) meal time. The meals are brilliant: the presentation / the delicious quality / the variety. You can tell she greatly enjoys “WOWING” her guests with these endless options. And I have never been so happy to sit down to eat. And (b) the amount of time the crew spent chatting up / enjoying / interacting with our group. It not only made for a great vacation – but it made for an excellent way to make new friends.
So as we return to reality … I want to thank you all for such a great time!

We will plan to come back again soon!

We are all so happy and grateful that we decided to take this trip with you on Euphoria! You both are exceptional at your jobs and are truly living the dream. Thank you for all your patience with us and answering a one million questions. WE loved absolutely everything about this amazing adventure. Thank you for guiding us on this trip of a lifetime. Much Love always from your Wisconsin crew.

Could not agree more with Matt’s note (and as you probably saw on charter we don’t always agree J). I’ve described the trip as “Epic” which is saying a lot. We’ve had a lot of great trips and many of them with this group of friends so expectations going in where high and you guys KILLED IT! So lovely and easy to be around. The food was next level, cocktails were probably too good, activities perfect, company wonderful and boats spectacular. I lead a team in the service industry. I know the importance of references and we’d happily be one for any of you, any time. Thank you for all you did to coordinate the trip so everyone could be together as much as possible and had equal experiences regardless of where we ate, or relaxed. We miss you all already and really hope that if your travels take you to Atlanta, Austin, Denver or Breckenridge you will look us up. The offer was genuine. Let’s do it again soon!

Sailing in the islands is amazing! The temperature is awesome, the water is beautiful with the different shades of green, and there are wonderful places to see and explore. But what really made this the best vacation ever, with out a doubt, was the crew. Their life experiences lend perfectly to taking care of their charter guests. When you combine their time in the service industry, their time spent growing up on the water, and owning their own water sports store, it uniquely qualifies them to provide a level of service unmatched by any charter boat available. Some days on our trip we wanted to do everything and some days we wanted to do nothing but relax. They were prepared everyday to make sure what ever we felt like doing was a accommodated and memorable. I don’t know if I can put into words just how amazing the food was! We tried at the end of our trip to determine the top 3 meals of the week which in the end was an impossible task. We had picky eaters, individuals who would try anything and even a vegan on board. The chef catered to everyone’s needs flawlessly with 5 star level food.

What a tremendous experience we had during our time on Euphoria! Aside from the fact that Euphoria is a beautiful catamaran, we also had the great fortune to have this crew as our crew. It was our first time in USVI and with their knowledge of the islands, every day was flawless. They were tirelessly accommodating to our activities (fishing, kayaking, floating, hiking, snorkeling, paddle board yoga, etc). The food was a show stopper every time and their attention to detail is top notch! They even went above and beyond to plan a special anniversary dinner celebration that really showcased their creativity, skill, and knowledge of great cuisine. Whether it was the cocktail of the day, the catch of the day, picnic on the beach or just a beautiful day of sailing, this vacation proved to be a great retreat, escape and a fun time to spend with friends.

Thank you for an amazing week. The food & your service is world class. The "Daily Drink", incredible dishes and all around caring and delivery of it all was perfect. Great time with great friends and that makes even better memories. Thank you and can't wait to come back.

I don’t know which of you is more lucky to have the other. The highlight of our week has been you guys and your fabulous sense of humor. You have an uncanny ability to give us exactly what we want, both giving us space and being there, for laughs, for cocktails, for snacks, and constantly offering entertainment options. Chef, everyone raves about your food, and it is heavenly good. If you forced me to pick favorites, it would be the evening fish dishes, and the massive breakfasts that were perfect after an hour of wobbly dawn yoga on deck, an early morning snorkel, and plenty of coffee. BTW that coffee was always there and freshly brewed no matter what ridiculously early time I got up. I couldn’t beat you out of bed, even once, although Liz managed it, but only on day one, getting up at 3:30am she was so determined not to miss a minute of vacation. I loved our land hikes to get the views, and seeing you sweat like crazy and assure me that you loved climbing hills too, while downing gatorade. Captain, you showed us beautiful cove after beautiful cove, and stunning sunset after stunning sunset. You gave me my first taste of tubing, and it was a blast! There was no way I was flying off that thing, although you tried hard, and I swallowed half the ocean laughing. Andrew got his first taste of paddle-boarding (I have the hilarious video to prove it). It was no mill-pond, we had a big-swell week, and he wisely decided to stick to the kayak to explore the places you took us, but Liz went out most days (an experienced paddle-boarder and she could handle the chop). Thank you for towing the kayak out to the very windy tip of Magens bay, so we had the perfect easy kayak back, going with the wind, watching the turtles surface, and nosying some of the most beautiful houses on Saint Thomas. Thank you for paying attention to our safety at all times, and racing across the bay to look for us when you thought we’d gone astray. Thank you for rescuing my GoPro when I dropped it in the dark, minus its floatie bubble case. Thank you for tolerating our (slightly drunken) whim to night snorkel, inspired by the underwater flashlight/GoPro incident, and wisely advising how to do it safely (noodles and buddies), and then killing the boat lights and blasting out the Jaws theme-tune as we swam back (OMG we laughed!). Thank you for tirelessly hunting lobster with William (yum, the sashimi appetizer created from it was delicious!). Thank you for filling your tiny freezer with his bait, and zipping along at plenty of knots so he could fish off the back of the boat. I loved when we had both sails up, the noise of the boat whooshing through the water, and we flew across to Buck Island, where I got those gorgeous turtle photos. Thank you for cleaning up after us, constantly, and the miraculously appearing towels, just when we needed them. You keep the yacht spotless, there are so many different places to chill, the cabins are beautiful, the water is hot, the beds are comfy, and the closet space surprisingly large (who knew there were drawers under the beds, and the bathrooms have six shelves). The evidence of how much fun we had is captured in so many photos of so many memories that we will treasure.

My family and I had one of our very best vacations ever aboard Euphoria sailboat with this crew! They are so fantastic and made our time on the boat just so fun! They took such great care of us and are so professional and good at what they do. We had such a fun time snorkeling, fishing, sailing, doing Yoga with the chef instructing, eating fabulous meals, and even playing games with them. The crew really made us feel special and spoiled! It was tough to say goodbye to them and we cannot wait to book another trip. The boat is absolutely beautiful and our vacation on board was five star all the way. We loved every second on Euphoria. Thank you for everything, you two are amazing and talented people!

A week of sailing on Euphoria was TERRIFIC! The crew was fantastic. The food, activities, and experiences were extraordinary. We put on a few pounds that will last long enough to keep the memories alive. Thank you again for the wonderful adventure! Trip of a lifetime.
