Sailing with Pepijn and Nicole was amazing. I've never felt so spoiled in my entire life!
When my friends ask about the trip, I start by asking them to imagine having three meals per day that are better than they've ever had at the best restaurants they've ever been to.
Pepijn and Nicole are an amazing team. Consummate professionals. They both have a truly impressive to multitask while making it all look effortless and providing our family with an amazing experience. This was truly one of the best travel experiences I've ever had.

We brought our daughters again along with our closest friends, and it truly was one of those “core memory” trips. The setting was spectacular, of course, but what really made it exceptional was the crew you paired us with.
Nicole was absolutely phenomenal. Her homemade dishes were to die for! Every single breakfast, lunch, and dinner felt like it came from a five-star restaurant. She somehow managed to top herself with each meal, and the girls are still talking about their favorites. It added such a special touch to the whole experience.
And Pepijn was just as outstanding. From the moment we stepped onboard, his professionalism and calm leadership were evident. He made our safety and well-being his top priority at all times, and that peace of mind allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every minute. On top of that, he was just a great presence to have leading the adventure.
You truly hit it out of the park with this crew. Thank you again for making the entire process seamless and for continuing to take such great care of our family and friends.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Pepijn and Nicole!
We were a group of 8 sailors who have bare boated in the BVI many times. We have never had the experience a fully crewed charter before. One of our group described this perfectly. When you bare boat it is an adventure, but when you have the perfect Captain and Chef it is a vacation!
Pepijn,
You are the most amazing Captain! Your professionalism, your sailing experience and handling of our yacht were bar none! I felt so safe and comfortable. Your ability to fix most anything that may break, like the generator belt on our last night (thank goodness!), your kind and confident presence, and your cocktail making skills are pretty great as well!
Nicole,
You are an amazing Chef! Every meal, 3x a day, was absolutely mouth watering and delicious! From your fresh baked breads, sweets and deserts, to your amazing gourmet lunches and dinners! Your freshly made pasta! On a boat! Wow! Your ginger shots! Home made Pizza night under the stars on the bow, with the beautifully set table was incredible! All of your food and your table settings, everything was amazing!
Pepijn and Nicole are a highly skilled and competent team that work extremely well together. I feel that their partnership is what made our experience so incredible! They were always there when you needed them but never hovering or intrusive. They are a very synergistic team!
Thank you Pepijn and Nicole for giving us a vacation of a life time!
The Lewis Group

I could not have imagined a better experience. Pepijn is an extremely accomplished, experienced, knowledgeable and polite professional. His attention to detail is superb. Nicole is an amazing chef. I have been privileged to have eaten many places around the world at Michelin rated restaurants and without question, Nicole’s meals are among the best I have ever had, all the way to the fantastic presentation from dinners to snacks…The fact that she does all of her cooking in a small galley makes it even more amazing…I have already recommended the two, as a team, to several of my friends… I could not imagine have a better experience. There is no question the next time we charter it will be with Pepijn and Nicole…
