Guest reviews

Guest Feedback July 2026

“Big boat, exceptional service, big tender”

This is the first time on a charter that a stew offered to help me pack and unpack. I was so happy to have this service offered to me. Each crew member offered a level of expertise I have not experience on other charters. They were all very kind. Antoinette’s meals were just wonderful. She took great care of everyone and their requests. Having our friends join us on this vacation and creating memories added to the enjoyment too. We are hoping to return February/Caribbean.”
