Dear Clari & Mariano,<br />
Thank you for such an amazing trip!! It was our first time doing a private charter vacation and you exceeded our expectations by far. We made so many sweet memories for our children on this trip. They will forever remember Clari's delicious desserts and lemonade. And they will (ok, at least Eddie will) remember seeing the big shark at Anegada and being thankful that Mariano was there to see it too - and to verify that there indeed was a shark. Thank you so much for keeping us safe and allowing Mike and I to unwind and relax. We loved your delicious cocktails at the end of every day. I can go on and on about all the sweet and amazing parts of the this trip. We are grateful.<br />
<br />
Thank you, <br />
Susie, Mike, Grace, Eddie & Benny<br />

Dear Clari and Mariano,<br />
What an amazing week we have enjoyed with you on Ritmo! This trip will hold so many memories for our family. We are grateful that you took such great care of us with your hospitality and professionalism! We appreciated the time to relax, swim, explore, eat, shop, read, play and loved sailing between islands here! Thank you for everything including all the delicious meals aboard. We will remember the fresh fruits, smoothies, and the girls asking for the recipes to many of the meals! Our only regret was the trip wasn't long enough. Best wishes on your future endeavors and let us know if you ever sail in RI/MA! <br />

Dear Clari and Mariano, <br />
I am watching the sunrise as a few pelicans fish and a little goat family walk along the beach here at Great Harbor and Peter Island - I am trying to think of something greater to say than thank you. I've been sailing with my family many times growing up, even a couple here in the BVI's but this trip was the most relaxing, magnificent, and soul filling one of all. It was so nice to see my hard working parents enjoy this trip with me and Alexis and have zero stress too. Each stop on our route was more beautiful than my eyes could believe. Each meal was more delicious than my brain could believe. I ate better this week than I have any week of my life. Beyond the physical, I am feeling inspired and peaceful and grounded - y'all are a pleasure to hang out with, just the coolest and most lovely humans, and I hope life has our paths cross again someday, somewhere. My heart is overflowing with gratitude. <br />
Thank you! Love, Emily <br />
Thank you for all the delicious lemonade!

Dear Mariano and Clari,<br />
Thank you for a spectacular week in the BVI, I have cruised this area on bareboat charters and my own cat over the years and I enjoyed learning of new places with you. I was impressed by your seamanship and the way you worked together to take such good care of us. Bareboat charters are more of an accomplishment; this was a vacation... a very relaxing vacation. Ritmo was a very nice catamaran, but you two made it special. Thank you,<br />
Most sincerely, Hal Mohorn<br />
P.S: the meals were outstanding! Bravo!<br />
<br />
Dear Clari & Mariano, <br />
A wonderful adventure made even more special because of your professionalism, thoughtfulness and fun spirit. Thank you for all the great memories! Amy Mohorn<br />
Loved all the meals-! YUM! <br />
<br />
Thank you for everything. 5 stars!!! Outstanding! - Alexis<br />

Clari & Mariano,<br />
Thank you for an awesome trip. This was my first time to the BVI and you made this experience very special. You guys are amazing and cook the best food in the world! Also, Mariano's tubbing skills are insane. Thanks for an awesome time. You guys are the best captains in the whole BVI! - Ben & Zac<br />
<br />
Clari & Mariano,<br />
Thank you so much for an amazing time on the Ritmo! I am so appreciative of everything you did this week for us. The food was incredible, your selection of places to go was 1st rated and you created an incredible set of memories for my family. Thank you so so much. - Justin <br />

Clari and Mariano, <br />
We will be forever grateful to you for making this week of family time so incredibly dreamy. What a gift for Jon and I to be responsible for nothing. It was like being kid again. We had so much fun! You took us to the most beautiful spots... Rocky hillsides, sandy beaches, all the snorkeling we could handle. You fed like kings! You were the most incredible hosts! We will be talking about this trip for years to come! Love, Kate<br />

Clari & Mariano, <br />
<br />
Thank you so much for making this the best adventure we've ever had! The food, sailing, snorkeling, shopping were all awesome. The best part, however, was making new friendships. You guys are now part of our family. We especially enjoyed all the meals we were able to share with you. Remember - no one has it better than us! Best wishes on whatever path your journey takes you! <br />

We just finished our 10th catamaran trip on Ritmo and it was amazing! Ritmo is a beautifully outfitted catamaran with lots of upgrades that just makes the trip so enjoyable! The teak decking, and the swim platforms were some of the favorites for us! We also really enjoyed all of the toys on board! One of the best equipped, cleanest, well kept 45-50 foot Lagoons we have ever been on! And the StarLINK works flawlessly! The crew, Clari and Mariano, one word …. Amazing! We are extremely experienced in the world on catamaran cruising in the Caribbean and this crew was the best we have seen! Clari did an amazing job with food preparation and execution, we had a couple conflicting dietary restrictions on board and she was able to easily make everyone happy. There was always snacks around for the in between snackers, the favorite of the group was the fresh fruit board everyone morning with breakfast and the appetizers in the afternoon before dinner. Mariano is a captain’s captain, extremely professional, honest, but always up for the requests of the guests! Thank you to the crew, you made our trip so memorable!

Clari, Mariano,<br />
<br />
This time together was a gift. I loved exploring this part of the world on the Ritmo. You have an incredible work ethic. I'm leaving with some sailing knowledge. I know it's hard work.<br />
<br />
Your dedication to us, our safety, and to each other was evident. And words cannot describe the food ❤️.<br />
<br />
I will think of our time together and you both for years to come. Contact me if you're ever in my area, either Dublin, OH (summer) or Jensen Beach (Nov - April). THANK YOU!!!

Clari & Mariano, Our lives are forever impacted by this most special trip thanks to you! We will never forget your hospitality, cooking and the most magical sunset any human got to witness. We are so fortunate to have seen and felt such a beautiful place on this earth. You made my 50th birthday one for the books! Thank you! We will be back!

Clari & Mariano,<br />
<br />
It is with our most sincere gratitude that we thank you for a magical family journey through the beautiful BVI. You both led with grace, kindness, and wisdom. Your knowledge of the islands and sailing expertise is impressive & kept us all safe—thank you!<br />
<br />
Your flexibility and attentiveness were also so appreciated as we explored islands from North Sound to Anegada.<br />
<br />
Clari—the food was exceptional! We were spoiled with the most delicious meals every day. <br />
<br />
Again, we are grateful. This was without a doubt our best family vacation ever.

Clari & Mariano; Thank you for everything you did to make this trip so very special. Everything was truly wonderful. I have sailed/chartered for many years and the two of you are absolutely the best. We will come back... and we will send our friends knowing the incredible experience they will have with you.<br />

Lu and Simi, what could I even write to describe the adventure we have had! Everyday we enjoyed something completely new to all of us. Every meal, snorkel, game and "mishap" was so funny and perfectly fit for our family. The girls could not be more sad that this trip is over. I think we are all the most sad though to be leaving you two. Lucia we love you! Simi, we love making fun of you! The only part I feel ok with though is knowing this is not our last adventure together for sure. See you on the next short sail. <br />

Lucia & Simon, thank you for such an amazing time, it was such a pleasure to spend a week onboard Ritmo with you. You are both such competent sailors. You made everything fun. I want to really thank you for giving our kids so much love and attention. They told us everyday how much they love you. Lastly, the food and water spouts topped it all off! We look forward to seeing you in VT<br />
<br />
Lu & Simon, thank you for the amazing trip! I really loved Lu's cooking and how Simon always wanted to pull us on the wake board. The food was amazing and the places we visited were amazing too. I hope I will see you guys in VT soon.<br />

Lu & Simon, Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful trip. We enjoyed every beach, every snorkel, every water toy, every meal, every sail and every night sky. You charted the perfect path for our entire family and we enjoyed your company. Life is about making memories and this is going to be forever in our minds. We are wishing you much luck, love, adventure peach and happiness in all you do. We hope to see you again soon!

Lu & Simon, seven days went by fast and this is because we had a really good time! The trip has been so great... places, moments, lobster, turtles, you name it! This trip will stay in our hearts and memories forever!! Thank you again to the super crew that has made this trip even more exceptional with their attention and care. I'm sure we'll see you soon, somewhere, sometime... good spirits always meet again!
