Mira Sol is a beautiful, comfortable, and clean yacht with plenty of room for all of us to stretch out and enjoy both private time and fun times together. The yacht was very well ventilated, and the crew did a great job making sure our cabins were well air conditioned when we were using them. Julle and Anna were the most wonderful crew imaginable. We enjoyed their company so much — they were professional, warm, and full of personality. Every meal and every snack was incredible, with fresh, healthy, delicious food that was beautifully presented. Anna was especially thoughtful in making sure our gluten-free guest was well taken care of. Julle and Anna truly stole our hearts. I personally had tears in my eyes from the morning of our departure all the way through the airport. We cannot imagine a charter without them and will absolutely be asking for them again. We also loved the BVI, enjoyed our time in St. John, and especially loved Anegada. We are already talking about a repeat charter in 2027.

Our family enjoyed a fantastic vacation aboard Mira Sol over the New Year holiday! We toured the BVIs with Captain Julle who was knowledgeable, dependable and beyond capable. We visited Anegada, Jost van Dyke, the Baths on Virgin Gorda and snorkeled the caves on Norman Island. Our chef and first mate, Anna prepared superb meals and snacks for our family. I even came home with a few new recipes! She was attentive to our food preferences and provided a wide variety of meals over the week. The yacht was also well stocked with drinks and munchies. As an added memorable bonus, Julle and Anna planned a fun evening for us to ring in the new year! Our goal was to relax on this vacation, which we did, but Mira Sol came equipped with water toys, games, WiFi and televisions to help keep us comfortable and entertained as well.
