Guest Comments for Oswaldo and Briar
Thank you for making our experience in the BVI’s one of the most memorable trips Kim and I have ever had. You anticipated every detail, provided the best service. Excellent!

I can not think of one more thing you could have done to ensure a fabulous vacation for ALL of our family. And pleasing 3 generations - not easy! In fact you thought of things we could not have thought of.

Thank you for taking such great care of our family.

Our every expectation was exceeded and we couldn’t have asked for better, more personalized service.

The food was the “bomb” - we all head home a bit more “satisfied” in our stomach area,

Thank you so much for your amazing service. The attention to detail from everyone was exceptional and appreciated.

A big thank you for making this birthday week so special. Fantastic snorkeling, watersports and wonderful islands. Amazing food and many many cocktails in the sun.

We loved every aspect of this trip and the crew was unbelievably awesome! They made the trip for us!

Thank you for the most amazing, memorable week in the BVI’s. Everyday was so special and each meal was simply unbelievable.


Sailing around paradise on a beautiful boat with our family was the best way to ring in the New Year!
You run a fabulous show!
Thank you all for your gracious, patient, expert, charming service. You all made this week a trip we’ll never forget.


Everything on our trip was absolutely perfect, from the weather to fishing, diving, food and choice of stops. We couldn’t have had a better time and will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives.

Thank you for a fabulous 8 days! Everything was “over the top” from the cuisine and making us feel like one big family. Oswaldo you are the best captain, able to put us in the best places for scenery and super snorkeling. Your handling of the yacht is impressive.

Thank you very much for your friendly accommodation. It was a really excellent experience.


Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism. Every one of us had the trip of a lifetime – not a once in a life time, as we are coming back!
