ONE OF OUR BEST CHARTERS!
ONE OF OUR BEST CHARTERS! Captain Tim knows his stuff and is a great guy overall. Candela is the best mate! Food, food, food and more food! Better food than a five star restaurant! We never met such a classy crew. The two of them worked together like a Swiss watch!
Loved it

Thank you Captain Tim and Candela for giving us such a memorable trip. Tim, you got us safely back to Village Cay in record time with intricate timing of the sails and weather & the winds beautifully. Candela, your cooking is superb and each day was better and better. And let’s not forget Tim’s cheesecake. We hope to sail with you again.

At vacay & At crew! Thank you Capt. Tim & Candela, for an amazing stay aboard Stella! You two make such a great team, always in tandem as if you’d done this for years. And both always so attentive to all our needs, ensuring we happy & good.
Candela, thank you for all of the magnificent meals, all with gorgeous presentation, great variety & soo tasty. You make it look effortless. Even the birds are spoiled by your aromas & leftover feedings! (Take care of Henry!)
We all so appreciate your accommodating our food preferences & dietary restrictions. Only your cooking could convince me to enjoy sushi & lamb. Extra thanks for ending perfect days with a game of Rummikub & your queens we’ve goodnight.
Tim, can’t thank you enough for your navigation skills & expertise… the extra excursions through the estuaries beside the turtles & stingrays, feeling the iguanas, those gorgeous peacocks & views atop Beef Island, & for always keeping our safety at the forefront this entire trip. And that AMAZING cheesecake! Who knew our captain could bake!! So delish :)
We will miss waking to these gorgeous blue, clear waters, the fresh sea breeze, sailing on Stella… & both of you! Safe sailing & clear, sunny days ahead to you both… & until we meet again (wishful thinking)
May God bless & keep you in the palm of his hands
