Reviews
What a wonderful trip! We totally enjoyed sailing with our family & crew! The southern views over the top, so much fun!
Thank you both for taking us to so many beautiful islands & giving us so many new experiences.
We hope to sail with you again!
Love,
Aunt Kathy, Uncle Bill
KP, Eli, Tom
Exceeding expectations is always a good look and you guys are right on! I am so appreciated with the level of involved activities with family and friends.
Always felt relaxed and looked after. We all always felt very safe.
The meals, presentation and variety were excellent. The variety was my favorite part.
All the best.
What can we say except for the fact that we don’t want to leave!
It has been an amazing time reconnecting with close friends and making new friendships with you both. Every day was a perfect day with snorkeling, relaxing, island hopping, sitting at the top chatting and getting some sun.
I’m not sure how to amazingly put into words every day, but we will take the memories from this trip and enjoy them forever. You both have a place in our hearts and a house to stay in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Chicago. To our first Captain and Chef, the memories will last forever.
We look forward to reconnecting in some way in the future. You both are amazing at your place in a beautiful boat and fortunate to make us feel so welcome and like friends. We are so blessed to have met you both and this experience we had this week. Amazing sailing and amazing food. The rose was the cherry on top!
— Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you for making this trip be both a rich experience and a relaxing getaway. You are both so great and we hope our paths will cross once again in a beautiful place like this.
Wishing you all the best for a great season and a super festival next week in S.A.!
Our best, 💜💜

He was outstanding in his field.
Thank you for hosting our idyllic Caribbean journey. We love experiencing new things - 30kt winds, sea sickness, paradisical landscapes, turquoise blue waters.
You both did a great job taking care of us & showing us BVI!
Everyone's needs/wants were fulfilled. The crew was very attentive and knowledgeable.
Great activities geared toward the interests of the group.
Food! Lots of great food!
Cheffy brought back conch and lobsters from an excursion and made the best lobster risotto on short notice! Lots of great dishes and desserts — out‑of‑this‑world double chocolate mousse!
Nantes, what can I say? You are an incredible captain, very talented & calm in all states of the sea. (And that is coming from Chris who is an accomplished sailor for over 20 years!) Loved chatting with you on Sailing(!) And your DJ skills — incredible / good luck!
Liam — your chef skills were amazing. The food absolutely delicious (perfectly cooked!), perfect proportions & perfect timing. (Coming from two people who love to cook & Chris cooking in his everyday life — we were impressed with your skills & knowledge.) Thank you for sharing your cooking wisdom with Niki (& your spices!!). You are both incredibly kind, beautiful, welcoming, fun, talented & thoughtful! Literally could not ask for a better crew!!
Cheers mates!! ❤️

Zipping around the BVIs on our one‑day charters always left me wanting something more. This week‑long charter was what my life found that was missing all these years! My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the memories that you’ve provided to my friends and myself. It will live forever inside my soul.
Thank you both for expertly navigating us around the BVI, showing us everything — but also to dive from Scrub Island to Anegada + back with teamwork and talent.
Nartes → Your natural expertise and knowledge of the boat life far exceeded your age. I loved the early morning talks after coffee and learning everything from boating to philosophy and all in between! Thank you!
Liam → Thank you for the great meals, my friend. Your desserts were amazing, especially the rum & banana bread! Also appreciated the extra assist on the boat! Good luck to you both in all your future endeavors, and no matter what the winds give you — keep adjusting. Make sail!
Rob + Stewart + Chris
Chef Kipp — thank you for all the amazing meals! Best pulled pork & banana cream pie ever!
We made some of the most incredible memories & will never forget the role you played in those memories! We hope to stay in touch for future adventures! We wish you both the best! Thank you again to the best crew on Earth!♥️ Thank yous!
P.S. Thank you for my little NCAA bracket fun!

Great week and a great time and thank you for taking such good care of this crazy crew. It was a great week.
As a fellow captain and chef, I would sail with you both anytime.
Cheers and good seas,

P.S. Come visit Monticello, Danvers.
We have been so blessed with the best friends + best crew! Nantes + Liam gave us the greatest trip. It was healing + bonding and something we will remember until the end of time.

He was outstanding in his field.
