We had an amazing week. Jess was the best cook we’ve had (it’s our 5th charter)…very healthy high protein and lots of veg meals that were exactly as we’d requested. And charlotte was a very professional and competent captain. Also making sure we were well cared for.<br />

Dear Captain Charlotte and Chef Jess,<br />
<br />
We had a magical week on the Nae Kae. We felt safe and cared for in your expert hands. So many trip highlights on board and off... longer sails, delicious and beautifully presented meals (and boards!) and fabulous cocktails, major boutique shopping, gorgeous water and beaches, and the unforgettable Gumption Necker Island tour... Soggy Bottom... I mean Dollar... did have a mean Pain Killer and Hendo’s a very good ceviche. Caper’s Band was also a fave. Hope the dingy serves you well for many more days and that you are #blessed with good vibes all summer long. Thank you for being great hosts and guides,<br />
