“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the meticulously perfect experience and appointments on SeaGlass. We could not have imagined how amazing all of this week would be…a lifetime memory for sure. Each one of the crew made us feel special and cared for and really help quell any concerns with such kindness. Paul is a great captain and April, an excellent and creative chef. George was awesome too even helping me when I got stuck on the puzzle. Congrats for a job well done.”<br />

“We 4 couples had the most amazing week and were treated so special down to the very last detail. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have created fabulous memories for us all and as our 2nd trip on a cat in the BVI, now are spoiled. It’s the only way to see the islands. Totally loved the master suite and all of the guest rooms were lovely (spacious and a great use of storage). SeaGlass is amazing and the 3 of you cannot be topped. Every detail, every meal, every drink, stop, adventure, corny jokes, fun and games/puzzles, table settings and cabins were more appreciated than we can ever put on paper. We will be back!”<br />
<br />
“This has been the absolute trip of a lifetime for us. It could not have been better. From the amazing welcome upon boarding the boat to seeing our bedroom for the first time! It’s exquisite. Every update, every plan, every trip were just the last word. And the food! April is a genius. Each meal outdid the previous one. The desserts - to die for! We loved every minute of this journey and are so thankful for your attention to detail, the cleanliness and the fun!”<br />

And for helping with the puzzle of course. Our room was always in the best of shape, Thank you! April…your culinary expertise is amazing and your sweetness is infectious. You’re so easy to be around and each creative menu had just the right amount of interesting components. We love your food and efforts. And Paul, our Captain and overall great guy.

“We are blown away by everything we experienced this week aboard the lovely SeaGlass with you. This has been an amazing week but it went by way too fast. Paul assured me we have to get off :) however I believe we will see you again. You have made our 2nd BVI cat trip truly a lifelong memory for us all. Spoiled now by the master cabin that’s for sure amongst a long list of others. You all have been so fun, caring, beyond attentive and accommodating (down to the detail). God bless you all.”<br />
<br />
“What a trip. Loved every minute of it. Best time of my life. Everything was absolutely wonderful. Best gourmet food all week. Thank you April for going above and beyond with your food creation especially the Guinness pie. I will always remember it. Thank you Paul for everything and all you advice and the smooth sailing and making the trip extra special. Thank you George, you anticipated our every need, incredible service, beautiful table every night. Just the best. We will never forget this trip and your outstanding hospitality. No matter where we go in life it’s the people that make the trip memorable and you guys did that every day. Thank you."<br />

“This past week aboard the SeaGlass has been nothing short of amazing. First class all around! We were a large group of seven and the crew accommodated our size and all of our individualities with perfection.<br />
Paul… you were right… the crew creates the experience, not the boat. This past week everything was perfect in every way. April’s amazing meals, George’s delicious drinks… all while safely cared for by Captain Paul.”<br />
<br />
“Thank you for sharing your gifts with us this past week. This may have been our last vacation all together as a family, so we wanted it to be special. It turned out to be unforgettable! As your guests come and go, please know that you gave our family a week we will forever cherish. We sincerely thank you.”<br />
