CELESTINE

Jamie and Ina — Thank you for making our dream vacation a truly amazing experience for our family! We celebrated two major milestones — 60th birthday and 30th Anniversary — as well as our first family vacation! Ditto, the meals, the sites & time with water sports was amazing. Thank you for making our dream come true!<br />

Our time on Celestine has been a dream — truly Trip-of-a-Lifetime stuff! Chef Ina’s cheerful spirit and truly world class culinary skills have ruined us for sure. Captain Jamie always stayed calm, cool and collected… and one step ahead of us. Thank you for continuously entertaining our never-ending questions about the area and sailing! What a wonderful week of memories with great friends. Our hearts — and bellies — are full.<br />

Capt. Jamie & Ina —  What a week! Thank you for making our time in the BVI nothing short of magical!  Ina — the food was exquisite! Every meal was like sitting down in a 5-star restaurant. You have spoiled us and we may be ruined for all future dining experiences! 😊  Jamie — thanks for overseeing all our adventures. We appreciate your flexibility and humor! And your sailing stories!  You make a great team and we are forever grateful.<br />

A fantastic week on Celestine! Captain Jamie is an experienced skipper who loves to sail (as in sailing with the sails up!) And Chef Ina is an experienced cuisinière who loves to please her guests.<br />
 <br />
Sail on Celestine if you would enjoy tacking up the Sir Francis Drake Channel by 25 knots of wind, relaxing in a quiet mooring, and snorkeling around.<br />

Thank you for showing our family around the BVI and USVI. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the safety and sailing education. It’s a trip we’ll remember for a lifetime. Go Birds!<br />

Captain Jamie – What a dream come true this trip has been!<br />
<br />
Grand Sue has been talking about taking all the grandkids sailing since our last sailing trip in 2004. Amazingly, it has happened! Though chartering the catamaran wasn’t in our original plan, thank goodness we found you and Rapscallion!<br />
<br />
You’ve been super flexible and accommodating, while also leading the way to some of the best spots in the BVI. How deluxe to have a guide, captain, chef, and boat connoisseur to lead the way!<br />
<br />
And you were such a good sport to join us in dancing to Yuck! It’s hard to beat the day in Anegada and that incredible lobster feast, but my favorite nights so far have been relaxing under the stars and making drinks to share together.<br />
<br />
Gratitude, much respect! Fingers crossed we’ll recreate this reunion again.<br />
– First Mate Ashley

Captain Jamie and the Rapscallion turned our BVI charter into a masterclass in how to live well and sail better. From the moment we stepped aboard, Jamie’s planning was tighter than a ship’s rigging-every stop, from the Rhone’s haunting wreck to Anegada’s lobster-laden shores, felt like he’d whispered to the islands ahead of time. He tailored the trip to our interests as he got to know us, weaving in Northern Sound’s rugged splendor, Smuggler’s Cove’s raw edge, and Sandy Spit’s tiny paradise-each a perfect match by the journey’s end. His know-how was encyclopedic; he navigated us through Jost Van Dyke’s party pulse and pristine snorkeling spots with the ease of a man who’s memorized the Caribbean’s heartbeat. Recommendations were spot-on-RMS Rhone’s underwater cathedral left us awestruck, Anegada’s beaches were a revelation, and Jost’s Soggy Dollar was a triumph of timing. The snorkeling? I’ve got a new standard for ‘clear water’ now. Bonus points: his connection to Sweet Tea Willy, the taxi driver with more charm than a barrel of rum, added a local flavor we’ll never forget. Jamie didn’t just captain a boat-he orchestrated an odyssey. The Rapscallion’s a gem, and<br />
we’re already plotting our return.<br />

Rapscallion and Jaime, thank you for a journey that felt like more than just Miles. Both the craftsmanship of the vessel and the wisdom at the helm, your skill and the boat spirit delivered days worth savoring.<br />

Jamie,<br />
Thank you for such a relaxing and joy filled week. We laughed, we ate, we saw turtles, we hiked, some of us saw jumping sting ray’s…. It was amazing. Can’t thank you enough and can’t wait the BVIs!<br />
Within you a wonderful nest of the season! Lots of love from TX,<br />
❤️Megan, Dustin, & Hannah

Jamie, thank you for being our ultimate captain this week. You are fun, considerate, and a damn good dishwasher. We loved every minute of it. You rock dude. Come visit if you find yourself in Columbia, South Carolina.<br />
All our gratitude- Tammy, Cagle and Mike<br />

Jamie, you made our bucket list trip a wonderful memory, I’ll treasure forever. The beautiful places you took us to see and the beauty of this part of the world. I’ll never forget. Thank you for helping us with the recommendations of places to go and eat and transportation, it made the trip so easy. Would love to return your hospitality when you come to Columbia and show you, Lake Murray! Thank you for such great memories! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!<br />
Endless gratitude, Maria and Mike
