    Aboard: True Story

    “Kristen, we cannot thank you enough for all of the help. Your help was greatly appreciated, we could have never put this together without you. Your attention to detail and carrying me through the red tape was extraordinarily beneficial. Booking a trip like this would normally be a huge hassle and quite scary. You made the whole process easy, and we felt truly comfortable knowing that we had been taken care of. Hopefully, we can continue the relationship and book another trip again. Best trip ever for all of us. Thank You!”

    Aboard: Allure

    “Hi Kathleen, we had a fabulous trip on Allure with Lisa and Rich! We were so excited to charter with them again as they are so wonderful with sailing, service, drinks, amazing food, activities etc. We loved the boat, especially the upper deck sitting area. All the activities were great. Craig and the kids got to do a dive which was incredible and on the last day of snorkeling the kids saw a juvenile bull shark which was certainly a highlight. We were so happy to be back in the BVIs and will definitely return. We are sad that Lisa and Rich are retiring but happy for them as they embark on their next adventure.

     

    You guys were wonderful to work with and we so appreciated the guidance on taxi service with Island Time. Such a smooth transition both ways! 😊”

    Aboard: Bluewinds (ex Playtime)

    “Everything about our trip was perfect! I don’t think I can choose one highlight as it was all amazing. We all loved the great snorkeling with so many beautiful fish, stingrays, turtles, starfish, a seahorse, and even a sunken ship. The bubbly pool was so much fun and we did an awesome hike with beautiful views. Jost Van Dyke and the Soggy Dollar bar were fun and we enjoyed dinner in St John one night.


    Captain Josh and First Mate Meg were the best, so nice, helpful, and a lot of fun! Meg served the most delicious food beautifully presented and the table was decorated so pretty at every meal. Josh was so helpful with everything and made the best painkillers! The boat was amazing, all of our rooms were so comfortable, and all areas of the boat so clean and comfortable. Josh and Meg arranged our transportation to and from the airport and met us with a great welcome and champagne. We all gave them the highest marks and would recommend them to anyone.


    You did a great job for us, Kathleen, finding the best options for us and advising us on everything we needed to know. Thanks so much!”
