Here are a few of the latest comments from our clients...
March, 2022 - Belle Vie, British Virgin IslandsWe began working with Sharon during the summer of 2020 to plan a BVI charter for eight to celebrate a birthday in February 2022. Sharon sent us several options to consider, two of which were brand new Bali 48 foot catamarans with a crew (captain and a cook). We chose the Belle Vie, and Sharon worked patiently and tirelessly with us for 18 months through all the ups and downs of the pandemic, which included many changes in testing and entrance requirements and a change in embarkation from St. Thomas to Tortola. She was incredibly responsive to our emails, often replying immediately or within the hour to answer our questions and address our concerns. In addition, Sharon communicated with the owner to advocate for us and provide updates as things changed, provided a comprehensive preference form to help us customize our vacation, and introduced us to our amazing crew. We had a fantastic vacation, and we can’t thank Sharon enough for making sure it all went smoothly. We hope to sail again in the future and will certainly be contacting Sharon again!

September, 2019 - Whale, Gulf of Naples & AmalfiHi Sharon... The trip was amazing. The route and locations were absolutely beautiful. I had no idea they would all be so close together and that was so nice and unexpected ... I loved the route we took and the way we laid out our day to day. I felt like we didn't have to worry about a thing. The crew was absolutely amazing. Paulo, the captain, was incredibly cautious, professional and we all felt so safe with him at the helm. Stefano 's meals were some of the best food I have ever had. He is a very talented Chef and we loved having 5-star service without being in a fancy restaurant. Lillie was the kindest, sweetest, unobtrusive deck hand and we never had to want for anything. She kept our cabins in Tip Top shape and still managed to take care of our every need all day long. It was a trip of a lifetime, and I appreciate all that you did to put this together for us over the past year. You were a pleasure to work with and I appreciate your patience and hand-holding as we worked through the details. I always felt you were on top of every detail, and the communication was so great leading up to the trip. Many thanks, Sharon.

September, 2019 - G3, CroatiaSharon, they did a great job. The boat was in great shape and the staff could not have been better. The chef was excellent. The captain did fantastic job putting us in the best places. I was very satisfied the way we handled the APA. He did the best he could to minimize the cost, specifically where I over ordered the wine. Give him and the crew my best.

August, 2019 - CORSARIO, CroatiaHi Jeni, Firstly can I say our charter was a huge success. We have so many amazing memories and can't wait to start planning our next one. The yacht was perfect. It had everything we needed, was beautifully appointed and with ample space for all.
Our itinerary was truly breath-taking. We decided to leave the destinations to the captain and he did not disappoint once. He quickly learnt what we were about and accommodated beyond our expectations. We always had the best parking spot in a bay, best seat at the restaurant and sampled the best wines. The meals onboard were beautiful. The chef had a challenging job each day trying to please fussy children along with adults who wanted to sample local exquisite cuisine. He excelled.
The staff overall Jeni were phenomenal. They continuously went above and beyond to ensure we had the most memorable holiday. They were very personable, yet always professional, truly a delight to have around. The crew made our holiday what it was. All in all we had an amazing holiday. Thank you sincerely for your help in finding the right vessel and crew!

June, 2019 - Blue n WhiteThe captain was great, the first mate, Yannis, was friendly, helpful, informative. and the chef/hostess/etc Dimitra was terrific. They all made us feel right at home, and managed to take care of all of our needs without feeling like we were all getting in each other's way in a small space. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were family and in fact, we took all three of them out to dinner on our last night (Captain's choice!). It was very special, and they couldn't have been better. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to have some family time, which we don't often get. The yacht was lovely; the staff was fantastic, and the islands we went to were wonderful.

January, 2019 - Something Wonderful, British Virgin IslandsHappy New Year Sharon! We have returned safely, but would much rather be back in the BVI’s :) The trip was amazing!! Our experience on Something Wonderful and Twin couldn’t have been better. The boats and crew worked so well together! Paul & Kerry took great care of us and coordinated everything with Nathan and Laura to make it all go seamlessly. It was such a special vacation! Thank you for all your help and recommendations. We hope to be able to do it again and will definitely be in touch when the time comes.

January, 2019 - Twin , British Virgin IslandsGood Morning!! We had the most amazing trip!! The Twin was a gorgeous boat, so nicely finished and spacious. We loved the layout of it so much. And more importantly we love loved Nathan, Laura and Jake!! They were so professional, hard working, kind. Laura cooked excellent food, what a treat that was! It truly was the trip of a lifetime with our dear friends.
And Something Wonderful was fantastic as well! We loved the crew of our second boat Something Wonderful Paul and Kerry!! Paul was so fantastic with the kids - would endlessly take them tubing and wakeboarding (Nathan too) - I think we liked the size of the main area of the Twin but the upper deck of SW was great. Kids spent lots of time on SW and adults tended to eat on the Twin for dinner.
Thank you so much for coordinating these 2 fantastic boats for us! It all worked out perfectly! We are missing them all and our special trip this week.

November, 2018 - Yes Dear, British Virgin IslandsHi Sharon, Our time aboard YES DEAR with Martin and Cari-Mari was fantastic!!! They are fun, engaging, and extremely hard working! The food was absolutely delicious, our rooms were cleaned and made up every day, and our every need/request was met with a smile. The itinerary was as good as we could’ve asked for considering the conditions of the islands and we hit all of the spots we wanted to see (Anegada, The Baths, Cooper Island, Norman Island, and Soggy Dollar), along with a couple new ones we had never visited. One of the day-trips that we absolutely fell in love with, and was a suggestion from Martin, was a visit to Oil Nut Bay resort for the day. I didn’t even know that place existed! We ate lunch at the resort, which gave us access to all of the resort’s amenities. If you’ve never been, the place is amazing.... All in all, we had a relaxing (yet fun-filled), and memorable time aboard YES DEAR with Martin & Cari-Mari. Please let me know if there are any questions and/or you need additional information. Thank you again for all your help, take care!

October, 2018 - Firefly, Spain, Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca)Radek , from all the cruise guests(including myself) - we would like to express our thanks both to you and to the crew of «Firefly».

September, 2018 - MoyaDear Sharon, There are not enough superlatives to describe the experience cruising the Greek Islands with MOYA and her crew! We experienced 5 star dining at every meal, only whining and complaining like spoiled children when we had to eat ashore on two occasions while the crew washed the salt off the boat and gave it a thorough cleaning. Dafni, our wonderful hostess, kept the boat spotlessly clean. She set a lovely table and if we needed assistance with anything on board she was always ready to help and always with a sweet smile.
We are so grateful to you for having made all of this possible!

September, 2018 - RivieraRiviera is a perfect layout for charter. Salvatore, who is first mate and chef, is a fantastic chef. The meals, assuming you like incredible fresh fish and pasta, are as good as it gets. Professional serving from Teresa and Antonino and the group works together like a swiss watch. Antonino, the skipper, is extremely experienced and has local knowledge that is over the moon. Very friendly and their English is very good. The entire yacht is cleaned with beds made, etc. every day. The yacht is kept in tip top condition and has several areas to meet or be alone. The swim step really makes the yacht if you are an active group. I cannot say enough good things about this yacht and crew.
Thanks again,
~BB
September, 2018 - Project Steel, GreeceThe entire experience was fantastic! Captain John is experienced and professional. He even gave me a few tips on driving my own boat! Chef Myrto surpassed all our expectations and is a sweet and kind person. The stewardesses Olga and Elina (Katrina) were very helpful and pleasant without being intrusive and the first mate Pete as well as the steward John were competent and always smiling. The ship itself is impeccable and comfortable. I highly recommend to anyone who wants the trip of a lifetime!

August, 2018 - Carpe Diem 7, CroatiaGood morning Radek,
We spent a week on the Carpe Diem 7 sailing from Split to Dubrovnik from the 11th-18th of August.
I just wanted to give a quick feedback and say that we absolutely loved every second of it.
The crew is incredibly nice and welcoming and very accommodating.
The captain always stays flexible with the route and we liked to be involved in the planning.
Everything is very clean and the boat is beautiful. It feels like time stands still and we wanted to thank you for this very special week.
Mateo the Chef cooks very well and we loved the food.
We felt at home and had a great time.
We definitely want to come back next year.
Thank you very much,

August, 2018 - BabacHi Radek, Unfortunately we have reached the moment to say Bye to Babac and more importantly to the crew. Both were fantastic and really helpful. The skills of the Captain and the talent of the Chef have transformed our week into a Dream. Please tell them how happy we have been to share these few days with them. Thanks
July, 2018 - Tacos of the Seas, GreeceHi Radek
I thought I would break my feedback on TACOS OF TH SEAS into sections for you:
Crew:
The crew made the trip in our opinion and in the opinion of all our guests. They were a delight. The Captain George looked after every need wonderfully and was a very interesting guide to the area. Extremely knowledgeable, he took us to all the right places and showed the Ionian islands off to their best advantage. The front of house, Christina and Dimitri were excellent, very discrete in their service but always available and extremely attentive. Nothing was too much trouble, they learned new cocktails for us, helped us with the sound systems, sorted out copious amounts of wine; they were excellent. The two Yannis’s and Ben were also wonderful, keeping the yacht in tip top condition and helping all our guests with the watersports.
And as for Costas ... well! His food was just sublime ... more on this further down.
The yacht:
We were very impressed with Tacos of the Seas, it was more than we expected. The refit had been done very well and the condition of the boat was excellent; you would think she was a newer boat. Our cabin and that of our guests were very comfortable and the stabilisers made a big difference at night. Having looked at the layout of other comparable boats, I think Tacos has the edge as the cabins underneath are all sizeable yet offer privacy from other guests. The linens were lovely and the copious amounts of Acqua de Palma in the bathrooms were a nice touch. There was always enough towels and hot water. The salon is a lovely space, however the flybridge is where we spent most of our time. Very comfortable and the addition of the sunbeds at the back and the awnings was important. Compared to other boats, this offered a lot more facilities for people.
The food;
Everyone of our guests raved about the food. Costas is obviously a perfectionist as every dish was intricate, well-balanced and divine. We all over-ate. There was a very good selection at breakfast and Costas would always discuss course options with me before whipping up some magic. He was very good at catering for some of our friend’s dietary needs; those who did not eat meat and then those who did not eat fish – neither party were short changed and their options tasted equally delicious.
The Islands:
The Ionian Islands are simply stunning. We did not get to go north sadly due to the Lefkada gate being broken. However, we visited some of the most beautiful bays and beaches in Meganissi, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada and Zakynthos. George did an exceptional job at getting us the best spot in the marinas and bays. Meganissi was most people favourite with its calm Sicilian feel, beautiful swimming bays and charming little marinas.

July, 2018 - Xenia 62“Wow! This was more than a vacation it was an experience to remember forever! Matt and Tara are authentic and were born to host, It felt like visiting old friends in paradise. They take ownership of the yacht and go above and beyond to make the experience more memorable. Every meal was ever more amazing than the one before. We look forward to coming back with our little girl. We would love for you to come visit so we can have the opportunity to take care of you.
~J&R
July, 2018 - Xenia 62“Yeah....so...pretty much what everyone else said.. If the saying of “if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life is true, Then it certainly applies to you both. We all know that you both work hard, but make it all seemed so EFFORTLESS and ELEGANT.. Thank you both so much for showing and being a shinning example of true HOSPITALITY.

March, 2018 - Port To VinoWe are back in NYC after a truly fantastic week sailing trip with Stuart & Bex. As soon as I stepped on board I knew we were in good hands and the week would be special. And it was. Every moment. From our first day visit to Oil Nut Bay, to our adventure on Anegada where we came face to face with Fred and his horns, to yummy lobsters there, to the baths, all the super scuba diving (top notch cap), and of course the many delicious meals and snacks and everything from the kitchen. The food was amazing. Every time. Am sure I’m missing many things but to be able to spend quality family time together on a beautiful boat and have as much fun as we did makes me feel very lucky. I’m sure we all feel the same way.
