Crew Review from Previous Yacht
📍 Trinidad, Caribbean<br />
✨ “I recently experienced a charter aboard the Two Oceans catamaran HQ2 with Captain Dylan and Kayla. Kayla, our chef and stewardess, handled her dual role with such ease.<br />
Over the course of our charter, it became clear that she has both experience and passion for cooking a variety of cuisines, always prioritising fresh, high-quality ingredients. Our menu catered perfectly to our preferences, with plenty of seafood, meats, and gourmet nibbles. I especially enjoyed the South African braai, Japanese-style lunch, and expansive breakfasts.<br />
Kayla went above and beyond for my birthday, baking a beautiful tropical-themed cake and organising a full celebration.<br />
We also had a guest with a nut allergy, and thanks to Kayla’s clear communication before and during the trip, we were completely at ease regarding cross-contamination.<br />
Her cocktail skills are equally impressive — she crafted drinks tailored to each of our tastes, and I’ve already tried recreating a few at home!<br />
Our entire experience aboard HQ2 was elevated by Kayla’s warm, attentive service, and we have already recommended this charter to others.” — Telicia Campain

📍 Grenada, Caribbean<br />
✨ “What a lovely two weeks I enjoyed aboard HQ2. The weather, entertainment, and peaceful quiet were all perfect. I felt especially fortunate to be on board while Kayla was experimenting with new dishes.<br />
Her cooking is already excellent, but the anticipation every second or third night — when she unveiled a new dish — was always met and then surpassed.<br />
A standout dish was The Wild Thing: game carpaccio with phyllo pastry, cream cheese, and fresh strawberries dressed in a balsamic-honey reduction. Her delicate touch with vegetarian dishes also hit the mark. You have a true treasure in her.<br />
And of course, I must mention the marvellous South African braais prepared by Dylan and Jesse. Simply unforgettable.” — Linda Harris
