NAE KAE

We had an amazing week. Jess was the best cook we’ve had (it’s our 5th charter)…very healthy high protein and lots of veg meals that were exactly as we’d requested. And charlotte was a very professional and competent captain. Also making sure we were well cared for.

-Kerry

Dear Captain Charlotte and Chef Jess,

We had a magical week on the Nae Kae. We felt safe and cared for in your expert hands. So many trip highlights on board and off... longer sails, delicious and beautifully presented meals (and boards!) and fabulous cocktails, major boutique shopping, gorgeous water and beaches, and the unforgettable Gumption Necker Island tour... Soggy Bottom... I mean Dollar... did have a mean Pain Killer and Hendo’s a very good ceviche. Caper’s Band was also a fave. Hope the dingy serves you well for many more days and that you are #blessed with good vibes all summer long. Thank you for being great hosts and guides,

Dear Charlotte and Mel,

Thank you for the most magical week! It’s almost impossible to decide what we liked best—but the only sad moment was discovering that the remaining Key Lime Pie was missing. So many beautiful destinations, so many delicious meals, and so many belly laughs. You both anticipated every need we might have and never complained (aloud!) about anything. You are professional, highly skilled, patient, and fun! We hope someday we can sail with you again.

Thank you for everything!

TRAVELERS REST, SC, 2025

The crew was amazing. Doyle is extremely knowledgeable and always found the perfect spot. He was a perfect captain and having been on many boats myself as well as our guests...He was one of the absolute best. Maya was amazing. Her humor was perfect and engaged perfectly with the crew. Her food is off the charts and definitely the best in the Caribbean at sea!.

The yacht was very clean and they maintained it that way throughout.Their attention to detail was apparent but we were also able to live on the boat and enjoy all parts. we loved all aspects of the boat.

Food was amazing. We moved to half board and thought getting off the boat would be a good idea. We had some great meals and experiences off boat...Maya's food was the best!! She was very accommodating and listened to everyone!! It was personalized and perfect.

Jonathan

Doyle and Maya,

Where do we even start? From #Beryl/schedule changes to laughing so hard until we cried at Doyle during the name game, there isn’t a memory we won’t cherish for many years to come! The seas were rocky, but the times were good! Thank you for celebrating our 50th with us. You made the entire trip a fantastic trip with our favorite people.

I will never look at a sheet of paper, the same again. Thank you for opening up to us and sharing food, discussions, and loads of comedy! Thank you so much! I am not as gay as Brittan, but I am way more exciting! It’s not goodbye it’s see ya later! So grateful and thank you for answering all my questions, and inquiries!

The cookies! So good! The food and the steak and the rancheros and the ceviche and more good appetizers and cookies, so good! Can’t wait to sail again !

Heather, Jonathan, Dhani, Marsha, Britton and Will

Maya and Doyle,

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip! You made everything enjoyable for our celebration. The impressive meals and going over and above for Aaron‘s dietary needs. Karen’s birthday was very special. Thank you for delivering the cake too! It was delicious. Beautiful boat, beautiful places. The trip met all expectations. Thanks for putting up with all our partying fun. We all wish you the best of luck with your new improved cat. And for the record, Arabian horses are not only the smartest, but also the prettiest.

Thank you again, stay juicy.

Love,

Karen, Justin, Julie, Dave, Dana, Erin, Bloody Bob and Jen

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you for welcoming us into your home. You treat this boat with lots of care, love and respect and it shows!

We started this awesome vacation as strangers, and I feel we are leaving as friends! This has been an experience of a lifetime. I appreciate you learning all the little details of love makes each of us feel a little more special.

Maya… All I can say, is you are one HELL of a cook. Fabulous… each meal.

Discovering the different islands and learning about BVI was another highlight!

Doyle makes sure you see all of the best spots! Sorry for all the questions!! And for bringing Jack!

Enjoyed it all!!

Mark and Julie

Doyle and Maya,

I seriously don’t know where to start! I knew this trip would be amazing but you guys blew those expectations out of the water! All of my research did not even compare to this experience. You are both amazing at your jobs and amazing as beautiful people too. I only hope our paths cross again somewhere in the future. The beautiful places you took us, the amazing food, the peaceful and relaxing days that turned Into beautiful night. All the fun and laughter and we are so glad we all finally figured out each others humor!!! You work like a well oiled machine together and the eight of us will forever remember this trip and how you both made it even better! Remember, if you ever get to SoCal, we have lots of room for you to stay, and you won’t have to do a damn thing… Just relax like we did. Thank you for the best vacation I’ve ever been on! Keep in touch!

Sammi

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for one spectacular vacation. Giving 110% all day, every day as you both do is no easy task yet you both flow seamlessly together and make it appear a piece of cake!

Anticipating our needs is a knack you also both have. Doyle– I believe you may know Jack a tad better than I might. What a gift for seeing people and perhaps that is part of the reason this trip is so special.

Each and every spot we anchored, each and every meal we ate, just kept getting better and better. Maya, your talents know no bounds.

All the best wishes,

Lynne and Jack

Dearest Doyle and Maya,

Thank you both for an incredible trip filled with unforgettable memories. Both of you were a perfect team and made us feel so welcome the minute we stepped on the Nae Kae. This trip has far exceeded expectations and we will definitely come back for another excursion in the near future.

Doyle, your command of the boat was flawless and made us feel so comfortable and safe. Thank you for putting up with our little nuances and especially for the priceless drone flying lessons.

Maya, thank you for your exquisite culinary skills, for delighting our tastebuds, and for the many wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Your attention for detail did not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for you!

I hope both of you will consider visiting Costa Rica in your next travel endeavors.

Pura Vida,

Steve and Elizabeth

Thank you so much for a wonderful week! We thoroughly enjoyed the family time, sun, and getting to know you all! We will definitely be back! Doyle, thank you for all your humor and expert captaining, Maya for your fabulous cuisine and Caitlin for your creative cocktails! Until next time!

Thank you!

Shelby, Brock, Maci, Braden, Hannah and Blake

Maya & Doyle this has truly been the most amazing and relaxing experience of our lives. Everything from the food to the weather to the crystal clear waters did not disappoint. The food was always a delicious surprise. We loved trying new fresh vibrant flavors. Doyle going snorkeling with you and finding a rock to jump from was a highlight of Lee Bay, which we think was our favorite. We feel so blessed to have gotten to go on this unique experience and we will never forget how well you both took care of our group. Maya- recipes please! Especially the desserts!

All the best to you both-

Laura & Mike

Cowboy Doyle + Maya-

We are speechless- which is rare. You both made this week extra special and we are beyond grateful. We’ve been on this trip five times now and this trip was the best! Thank you, thank you for making this week incredible. We will cherish all of the super special moments. If you are ever on the East Coast or in Charlotte, please visit us.

Thank you! ❤️ Becca & Frank

Doyle & Maya

Thank you so much for an amazing week! You made celebrating our 20th anniversary and unforgettable experience. We saw beautiful coves, fish, water, etc. The food was such a treat, our pallets have never experienced such great cuisines! You made this trip our #1 vacation of all time and we will be back!

❤️ Kevin & Corry

Dear Maya & Doyle,

Thank you for the most incredible trip of our lives. You made us feel like part of your family for the most incredible week of our lives. We cannot thank you all enough. See you in Lauderdale and beyond!! Everything was purrrfect (MEOW).

Yeehaw! Brittany & Erick

Wow... This experience has been amazing! I'm not sure we could pick a favorite... But the snorkeling is close! This trip was truly spectacular but with the great service and food... Indescribable...the food was truly 5 stars as were the drinks. Most of all, you made this a life memory for all of us that we undoubtedly will never forget.Thanks for that and for putting up with this crazy crew.

Ryan and Candy

Thoroughly enjoyed a week of sun and fun with friends and family. Memories to last a lifetime! The weather cooperated, a few showers here and there, but when you are sailing, what's a little more moisture in the air? The crew was very meticulous in the care of the boat plus the passengers. They were informed and always ready to lend a hand when needed. Sun, sand, snorkeling, stingrays and starfish. The S's is have it! Amazing week, amazing trip, amazing memories,

Billy and Claire

A week with good friends is always a treat. Because it always includes a lot of laughter and recalling memories. Friends are truly one of God's gifts. However, when that week is part of a bucket list trip- well, those stories and laughs will be visited again and again. To say that the Nae Kae made that special would be an understatement. The Nae Kae is a beautiful, comfortable, well kept vessel. This is all because of Doyle and Maya! It is wonderful to be under their care. The food out of that tiny galley is truly amazing and the way they work as a team was part of what made the week so relaxed! Thank you to you both for taking such good care of us this week. And for graciously tolerating our laughter and jokes and drinking LOL! Wishing you the best in the future and you know we would be delighted, if you always compare us to your other guests.You know you love us!

Laura and David

Cpt Doyle & Maya -

Absolutely amazing week of adventure, food, laughs, sailing, sites, drinks, and meeting you both. We did it all in one short week and are forever grateful. The BVI are beautiful but you both are amazing people and truly made the trip! We hope to see you in Steamboat or Bend- you are always welcome!

Until then-

Brian

Doyle and Maya-

Wow! That doesn't begin to cover how this trip played out. From the moment we stepped on board you made us feel welcomed and comfortable.You have created a special space and truly brought us into your home. We Loved hearing your stories, getting to know you both, and experiencing the beauty of the BVI. The roses…Maya's food... appetizers on the bow, dinner up top (felt like celebrities), the snorkeling and other water fun, watching Doyle kite surf, getting a taste of both “touristy” at Willie T’s to experiencing the wild nature at the Bubbling Pools. I loved watching the sails unfurl, seeing the dolphins, eels and rays. The time spent with dear friends and making new ones in you both was priceless. Next time we will let Brian win the Euchre tournament.

Thank you both again for a magical week. You’re always welcome in Keystone, CO (or capital S capital T capital L, but that seems a lot less glamorous than life down in the BVI) any time. We'd love to share our slice of the world with you-As long as none expects meat like Maya's!!

A toast to you both with “mini-beers”

Casey and Brent :-)

P.S. Doyle - Iguanas do have brains! :)

"Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on

our hearts, and we are never ever the same." - Flavia

Doyle & Maya - We are all so very grateful for the energy and heart that you poured into each ofus to make this such a memorable adventure. My rose and thorn intersected as it was truly amazing to have the trip go so fast and flawlessly with 10 people but flying by too fast for us... aspect of the journey felt relaxed, easy and therefore very enjoyable as we navigated the BVI islands and the fun each had to offer. It was a perfect combo of relaxation and doing! Obviously, we can't say enough about the food...every meal was incredible and Maya spoiled us and amazed us with her creativity in the kitchen. Seriously we’d buy the Maya-Nae Kae cookbook :)) And Doyle's stealthy dance around the boat was confidence inspiring and made us all feel safe and comfortable the entire time! We hope that Denver is on both of your travel schedules in the near future. We'd love to host you (although the food may not be as spectacular). Again, thank you both for welcoming us into your home, sharing your beautiful surroundings, navigating an unforgettable trip and rewarding us with your friendship!

Here's to more adventures to come!

- Drew & Kate

* Special thanks for accommodating Purdue in the final four!

Thank you, Maya & Doyle, for such an amazing week & for welcoming us into your home. We appreciate so much the attention to detail, care, and love of the islands you shared with us. Our return after 30 years was far more than we could. ever imagine. We will treasure the times in beautiful coves, exploring and enjoying the water, the amazing sunsets, fantastic meals, but most of all the memories created on board with all of us, especially the two of you. Hopefully it won’t take us another 30 before our next visit.

Best to you both -

Tina

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for a week of incredible, life-long memories! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew than you two. You showed us the most beautiful places, kept us safe, well fed and contributed to many laughs!

Below are some of our favorite memories:

-absolutely demolishing the boys in Fishbowl

-watching Colin trying to float

-all of Maya’s cooking

-Maya’s signature drink

Dear Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for such a special experience, this has been the best trip of my life. It was so special to experience one of the most beautiful places in the whole world but getting to know both of you has been equally special. You are both truly such special souls, and what you create on this boat together can only be described as magic. My heart is so full leaving this week and I hope you know how once in a lifetime this experience was for all of us. I hope we can meet again soon and until then I am sending you all the mermaid magic! Thank you Maya, for your outstanding meals, which have truly ruined all other foods for me, and for all of your laughter and kindness. Thank you Doyle for your thoughtfulness and strength as a captain and for always making us laugh while keeping us safe.

Much love,

Lucie

P.S. we’re so sunburnt our cats won’t recognize us

Doyle and Maya,

How can we ever express on paper the extraordinary, larger than life week of perfection we experienced on Nae Kae with you‽ You crafted each day to be special and centered around our hopes for the most spectacular week we could imagine. Your thoughtfulness each day, each meal, each activity was evident. As ours was a 60’s cruise, with four of us having a birthday party, one each evening, you were able to create a special event every night. We laughed, we danced, snorkeled, dined, and explored with such joy. Thank you both for welcoming us into your home and showing us the beauty of the USVI’s and the BVI’s. We can never forget these happy memories.

Love, the Arnold and Baker Family

Captain Doyle and Chef Maya,

Words can’t express how grateful we are for the most amazing week. If you bottled joy that best describes how I felt and the energy on board. Thank you for helping us create new lifelong memories, you are a part of our family now! You two are world class and make such an amazing team. My mom turned 60 this year so it was really special to make her feel loved and spend this time all together. Please come visit us in Alabama anytime. We’d love to have you for a proper football game. Roll Tide!

❤️ Carol

PS-Chef Maya is wonderful!! Gourmet food!! Better than the restaurants!! Captain Doyle docks like no other!

Doyle and Maya, thank you for making our first BVI trip one to always remember! Loved the Supmarines, snorkeling, and we will never forget swimming to Soggy Dollar. Maya, you are an amazing chef! The food was top-notch! Painkillers were the best!

Janel and Jeff

Captain Doyle and Cheff Maya, what an amazing week our group had. None of us had sailed before, and you’ve ignited a passion in all of us to do this again. The food was amazing! We felt like we were dining at a Michelin star restaurant each night. Thank you, Maya! Doyle, thank you for the amazing itinerary and spots we stayed each night and your willingness to go off script when we had a request. All of our friends back home are very jealous and most likely future clients. Thanks again for the trip/experience of a lifetime.

Steven and Gretchen

Dude this was the most amazing trip ever thanks to both of you. We can not thank you enough for all your efforts. It really made this an epic experience for us. We've never been on a boat trip like this before & didn't know what to expect but this topped everything we could have thought of. You made the scenery perfect & are just the best from Paije's coloring, Rebecca's day drinking to Magic's irritation meals, snacks & random bursts of energy everything was perfect. We laughed & more than we have in a long time & truly treasure this time we had. Thank you for putting up with our pack of misfits. I hope our paths cross again & if you are ever in Seattle you are so welcome to stay with us!

❤️ Sam (Ritu-Tanmeet) & Deepika Nelak

Dear Doyle + Maya,

We can't thank you enough for creating such a magical week for our group. We knew from the moment we stepped onto the beautifully decorated boat that we were in for a treat and you not only did not disappoint but went above and beyond to help make every minute of the trip extra special. The beautiful scenery was surpassed only by the gourmet meals and kind gestures you told to make us feel welcome and cared for - from delicious jello shots for our dance party to ensuring we didn't step on sea urchins to everything in between. Thank you for being so amazing - we will be back for sure! ❤️

Sara & Bryce Bates

Dear Doyle & Maya,

Thank you for being the individuals that you are and for bringing all of your incredible skills and attributes to create an amazing week for our eclectic group.

You are an exceptional team, and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making that teamwork seem so natural and effortless.

Such a magical week! Couldn’t imagine a better vacation! Doyle and Maya took great care of us and set the bar higher than ever. Hope to sail with them again as soon as we can. Thanks for the royal treatment, amazing food and fun hang. Such a blessing! Love you guys!!!

-Deana Carter

Our week couldn’t quite get the justice it deserves with just a few words here… It truly brought us so much joy, relaxation and laughter. Thank you for every element you provided to create this incredible retreat. The five star meals, the treatment you gave us and every detail was truly immaculate. Thank you big!! Can’t wait to do it again!

Beautiful boat, beautiful islands, but what made this experience member was our crew, Doyle and Maya! We were welcome from the moment we set foot on the boat, and not just the Champagne!!! Their instructions and guidelines were detailed, and made us feel comfortable, but also relaxed and safe, the food was amazing! And the experiences were incredible! Thank you both so much! I plan to be back again!

From the moment we set foot on the boat, the Nae Kae felt like home. I always say life is all about the people you cross paths with and getting to know Doyle and Maya over the last week has been truly a pleasure. Too many special moments to mention, maybe I will just say thank you for creating such a beautiful environment for the Norehad family (+) to create lifelong memories. Thanks for everything! Let’s get Nae Kae’d!

A perfect week on the Nae Kae! It was a full week of laughter, sun, snorkeling and incredible food. Maya and Doyle, you have officially become part of the Norehad clan. You both made the boat feel like home from the start and we are incredibly sad to leave. A few highlights of the week…

– Maya’s amazing ability to cook gluten free

-New Year’s Eve, dancing and 360 photo booth

– buzzing around Anegada on mopeds.

– the painkillers!!!

– Doyle’s New Year’s eve, solo-spectacular, ukulele performance

– spending lots of quality time together.

We will definitely be back and send many friends to the Nae Kae.

What an incredible trip thank you Doyle and Maya for making this such an unforgettable experience, and for all the laughs and fun along the way. Formal apologies for Sean breaking the bathroom door, hipper, and for losing the rubber yeti bottom. Cheers to 2024, I hope you both have a wonderful year .

Maya and Doyle,

Thank you for the most memorable 40th birthday a girl could ask for. Unequivocally, the trip of a lifetime. I don’t think there was ever a moment on our trip where we weren’t laughing or smiling.

The sensational food, incredible itinerary, and the access to everything on board really made the trip extra special. But most importantly, your warm and welcoming personalities. We felt like family immediately.

Thanks for the memories!

Amazing captain Doyle and Maya, the “unflappable one”…

This has been about the most incredible week of my life!!! If I had a bucket list, this would have been on it for sure!! Spending a week with my children has been so satisfying to my heart! I am so enjoyed getting to know Maya and Doyle!! Such lovely, kind and caring people!!! The Lord bless you, and keep you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and give you peace.

Love,

Donna

Dear Maya and Doyle,

Thank you for an amazing experience aboard the Nae Kae. You both made the experience unforgettable with all the little extras along with the amazing food and beach time.

Joani

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you both for creating an unforgettable experience for our family. So many memories made on our journey through the BVI. Your thoughtfulness, attention to details, amazing meals, and overall care for every person on this charter made it a trip will never forget,

Incredible experience,

Dearest Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for such a memorable trip for the six of us! We not only enjoyed every meal, game, swim and sunset… but the safety measures were bar none.

On a personal note, Maya, thank you for helping me when I got sick. Your kindness shines. Doyle, never ever stop playing your music. You’re blessed with such talent.

Please contact all six of us. If you were Everett in or near Sarasota, we’d love to host y’all.

Stay safe, stay full of love, and most of all stay grateful for all the many gifts you give to this world.
