EVENSTAR

Tim and Zara<br />
Thank you for a trip of a lifetime! You took a fabulous experience and made it spectacular. Of course all the wonderful places we went to were unforgettable but it was the extra special moments and all the laughter that will live in my heart as my memories when I think back on this vacation. I mean, who couldn't plan to swim with dolphins, or be involved in dance parties (with an amazing disco ball and a dance platform) night and day - I will always remember Jen driving us around Anegada and sharing Bloody Marys, then music and dancing with you both. I wish you both all the best as you start your lives together at least you know you will always eat well - since you both are amazing chefs for which we were so lucky and happy to enjoy. I hope our paths cross again over the years. Please stay in touch!!<br />

Thank you so so much for giving us such a fantastic trip! This was by far one of my favorite vacations ever -and I have been to a lot of places. What made the trip so wonderful was having the best, most fun and energetic captains ever. Thank you for showing us all of your favorite spots in the bvi. I hope Tim can go to the next Redemption tour and Zara keep showing off your dance moves but don't fall off the boat! Thank you for the amazing food and guidance throughout the trip. I will miss our dance parties and occasional movie nights as well.<br />
Best of luck on your future together you guys are perfect for each other<br />

Where do I even begin?! you made my 50th birthday celebration so memorable. the Hawaiian celebration on the beach with all the attention to detail. I loved the pineapples stuffed with rice and that chicken was some of the best chicken I have ever had! It was an unforgettable evening. The birthday cake was delicious and the disco ball and birthday banner added to the party atmosphere. Your energy and enthusiasm was contagious. "Just jump on the Dolphins!" Night time swims with tarpons and spying on other boats.. and all of the amazing food I'm so grateful to have met you two and the trip wouldn't have been the same without you. You must come visit us in Boston! Best of luck on an amazing life together!<br />

Over the last week, you both have become family! You have welcomed us on our maiden weeklong sailing adventure, and made us both feel comfortable beyond measure, but also loved. The beauty of the BVI has only been out done by the care you took in making sure that Sophie, Mia, and I always had fun. Thank you, and god bless! <br />

Dear Tim and Zara,<br />
<br />
Thank you for making our dreams come true! This week was truly amazing. Thanks to the both of you. I had no idea that my expectations could be exceeded like they were. The food was out of this world and Zara taught me that I do like fish. :) <br />
You guys have a gift for making us all feel at home and well cared for. We felt pampered all week! We very much enjoyed getting to know you. Thank you for your patience and kindness. I know us Texans can be a lot to handle. <br />
Thank you for everything! We will never forget you!<br />

See you soon!<br />
Andrew and Erin

We just returned from our BVI trip and had the best trip of a lifetime. The crew and the boat Evenstar could not have been anymore excellent, they were truly the best. The accommodations and the food/service were a 100 out of 100.<br />

Thank you for what truly has been a week we will never forget. The chance to spend this time as a family, explore these beautiful islands, and be so well taken care of means the world to us. Thank you so much for the wonderful food, drinks, and fellowship. We hope to be back with you again soon and may have an efoil purchase in our future! <br />

There really are no words to describe this amazing experience! We truly loved every minute of it. Most importantly, though it was the two of you that made it so special. Your hard work and love for what you do is the best. We’ve all talked about what our favorite day was and we can’t pick just one. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most spectacular week on board Evenstar. We will be back for sure. Until then, take care and enjoy this beautiful life. <br />

Tim and Zara, <br />
Thank you for this amazing experience and all of the special memories. You both made the trip feel like a true vacation. The food, drinks, beach, locations, activities…Can’t beat it! You know what you are doing and do it so well! again, thank you!<br />

Tim and Zara, <br />
One of the best weeks of our lives! Jeff and Susan treated us and you were the icing on top. The hospitality was amazing! Thank you for the wonderful food, drinks and attention to detail. Bvi in our heart forever. May God bless you both.

Words cannot describe the experience you created for us. You felt like family since the moment we boarded. Relaxed and at ease. The rest was the most spectacular days we had together as a family. Thanks, Tim, for embracing the seas and chartering our way. Thanks, Zara, for fueling our bodies and souls. You have a home in California and Missouri whenever your heart desires. Much love to you both.<br />

We had so much fun celebrating dad ‘s 50th birthday on even star! Snorkeling sailing diving and more we enjoyed Zara’s cooking and Tim sailing. Thank you so much for the best week we could’ve asked for. We wish you luck on your next adventure.<br />

We cannot begin to thank you enough for making our vacation a trip of a lifetime! From the phenomenal meals to the thoughtful attention to detail we felt spoilt rotten! We feel extremely blessed to have had you both as our first Charter! We wish you all the best! Thank you for everything! (I don’t know how you arranged an e-foil dolphin encounter, but only the best crew could!) <br />
Y’all are the best! <br />
The Pooles<br />

Thank you for making our first charter experience a vacation we will always remember! The British Virgin Islands are beautiful and y’all did a great job planning at the details! You both worked so well together, navigating the boat, working, cooking all your meals, and making our drinks! Thanks for everything and hope to return in the future! Thanks for not kicking Todd and I off the boat after the first day. Haha <br />
Best wishes,<br />
Todd and Jamie<br />

Not much left to add to what others said. Huge thank you for an amazing vacation that well remember for a lifetime! Every aspect of this trip was top-notch and there’s nothing we would change. You guys make a fantastic team! Best wishes, <br />
Julia and John

What an amazing time we had with you guys as you pay attention to each little detail! Each day was planned so well the meals were delicious. We came with zero expectations and are leaving feeling it was a 10. Keep doing what you do. Pray you are a blessing to all who travel with you!<br />
Mark and Amber

What an unbelievable sail on Evenstar!!! Five stars are not enough! This sailboat is amazing! But, what is even more amazing are Tim and Zara!!! You two are the consummate TEAM! You have taken such great care of us this whole trip. We survived the “Tsunami of 25.” Tim was the best leader looking at all the options. We laughed so hard our bellies hurt several times. Tim saved us when we were stupid! Tim-you can do anything! Wow!<br />
<br />
Zara-you are an amazing lady first and foremost, your heart is so caring and kind and your food is DELICIOUS!!<br />
<br />
We love you two. Please come to Texas and we will feed you some BBQ! <br />
Thank you thank you!! <br />

Thank you for the kindness, compassion, and care. Hope the world appreciates how wonderful you are. <br />

Be Well, Kathy

Tim and Zara,<br />
I don’t even know where to begin. Expressing our gratitude for making this trip so memorable seems like an impossible task, not only did we have a beautiful boat in Paradise but the true trip of a lifetime has been getting to know the two of you well with our friends that have become family. The experience you create with your genuine attention to detail on behalf of your guests is a rare and beautiful gift. The joy we experience while getting to watch you seamlessly create an experience that is unforgettable for people is almost as fun as the trip itself. Thank you for giving so much of yourself, for making our trip so memorable and for being such a great team for people we love so much to be able to trust their dream with. You are incredibly gifted and special. I’m honored to know you and cannot wait until we get to see you again.<br />
Love, Ken and Trina

Tim and Zara, <br />
<br />
You said on our boat delivery trip that you couldn’t wait to show us what a regular charter was like with you guys. We had no idea what that meant and it certainly wasn’t a regular charter for us! Yes, the boat was great, and the places we visited were spectacular, but truly what makes this whole dream of ours work is the two of you! I honestly didn’t know what it was going to be like having two people serving us on the boat, but when we see how seamlessly and easily you work together it is amazing. You make what you do seem so easy, which we definitely know it is not. It is that ease and genuineness that really has made this entry into Charter business so wonderful. But, most of all you have become friends! Thank you for all you do, but mostly for who you are. Last night at dinner this verse came to mind, “Every good thing given, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” James 1:17 You two are a gift to us! Looking forward to many more adventures with you!! <br />
Bless up Mike and Nancy.

Zara and Tim,<br />
<br />
What an amazing experience! Thank you so much for your hospitality. I had very high expectations for this trip, but the two of you exceeded those expectations each and everyday. <br />
<br />
Your professionalism, knowledge, and flexibility made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together. The scenery was spectacular, the catamaran was comfortable, and the meals were delicious.<br />
<br />
Thank you again for making this one of the best vacations we’ve had. <br />

Dear Zara and Tim,<br />
Our family had the most amazing trip this week! Thank you for being the best hosts, Captain and Chef! We cannot think of a more perfect way to celebrate the New Years! From the E-foil, sea bobs, bananagrams, Uno, code names, and watching football…Thank you for providing entertainment at all times. Each day provided a new adventure that we loved! Thank you, Tim, for your kindness and patience with all of us. <br />
<br />
Zara’s feasts were all amazing and you won us over with each meal, even our picky boys!<br />
This week will be a New Year’s that we will always remember and have the best memories from. Not only from the fabulous experience, but the memories with our children. You made us all feel like family and we can’t wait to spend another week with you two on Evenstar!<br />
Emblom

It was absolutely great, the crew in particular was fantastic - exactly our thing! The boat was just right. We could have easily stayed 2-4 days longer and would have preferred to skip our hotel vacation that follows.<br />

Aboard Evenstar, a birthday celebration we did seek,<br />
with Zara's cuisine, from feast to sweet treat.<br />
Thanksgiving delights, her skills on display,<br />
carrot cake magic, the star of the day!<br />
Tim's seamanship, steady and true,<br />
with e-foil spins and water toys too. <br />
Stops that amazed-<br />
Anegada's bright shore,<br />
Soggy Dollar's rum and views we adore.<br />
The weather was perfect, the skies crystal clear,<br />
Tubers and centaurs, our bond grew near.<br />
Genealogy clues, Bananagrams played,<br />
On Evenstar's decks, the best memories made. <br />
With laughter, adventure, and memories dear,<br />
This trip was a gift, one we'll hold near.<br />
So here's to Tim, to Zara, to Evenstar,<br />
To making this week the best by far!!<br />
<br />
With Thanks, The Bermans

Zara and Tim,<br />
<br />
Thank you for everything! You have made both of our trips with you above and beyond our expectations! We feel like you’re a part of our Tennessee and Florida family!<br />
Every experience from Willie T’s, to the bubbly pool, our favorite Anegada experiences were amazing! The food…OMG! The food, drinks, and fellowship was wonderful! <br />
From what we thought would be a once in a lifetime trip is now an annual event. The two of you truly have a gift of making us all feel and experience the Bvi‘s in the most fun and beautiful way with all the fun packed in as well! We love and appreciate you so much!<br />
PS thanks for introducing Casey to food!

Zara and Tim,<br />
Than you for allowing us to be your first Ladies Only Boat! When you can keep eight ladies happy for five nights you are obviously special people. Every meal was better than the next time and we knew it was gonna be a fun time and we walked onto the boat to a bottle of Veuve! Not only did you never judge us but you always helped us take whatever idea we had (neon parties, Pirate night) to the next level. You made the birthday girl feel so special while also catering the trip of a lifetime for everyone on board. We will think of you every time we have hood rat ratchet hour! Let me ride that dinghy dinghy!!<br />
Love you both, Erin <br />
<br />

Zara and Tim, <br />
What an amazing week this was celebrating our friend Lauren‘s birthday! I can’t thank you enough for all that you did and making this trip perfect. You both went above and beyond and exceeded all of her expectations. Besides being great hosts you were so much fun to hang out with and we’re always up for anything. From Willy T’s to the full moon party I loved every minute. I hope we can all do this again and have y’all as our crew!<br />

Zara and Tim, <br />
You guys are the best! We knew this would be a great trip, but the two of you made it amazing. You took us to places we won’t forget, the food wasn’t fantastic, and we had so much and we had so much fun hanging out with you. We will always be thankful that you made our friends birthday trip unforgettable. And we know you won’t have dance parties like ours again. Good luck with the new boat and if you’re ever in North Carolina come see us! <br />

XO, Lauren<br />

Tim and Zara,<br />

It was an awesome trip that exceeded our expectations! Zara and Tim are fabulous hosts and went above and beyond to meet our every need. They made our experience truly amazing!<br />
I would highly recommend this trip with Zara and Tim to our friends and family. They together made our trip a huge success!<br />
Margie <br />
P.S. The food was equally awesome!

It was amazing!! Tim and Zara are the most gracious hosts! We had so much fun with them! The boat was beautiful! You could tell they took pride in their work! Zara is an amazing cook- Tim made a few yummy things as well! Tim had great knowledge of local things. Took us to the “popular “ places but took us to places we didn’t know about and we had some great adventures! I couldn’t recommend this trip enough- especially with Tim and Zara!!<br />

I can’t thank you enough for the most amazing trip! Truly a trip of a lifetime. We came in with very little expectations and wow! More than I could have ever dreamed of! You took us to amazing places and fed us like royalty both of you have culinary skills. We can’t thank you enough for everything! Wishing you all the best. Thank you so very much!<br />

Your thoughtfulness and true desire to make our experience unforgettable was only exceeded by your kindness, humor, and generosity. You take such pride and attention to detail and preferences of your guests ensuring an incredible experience. The food was amazing! The places you shared with us were unbelievable and your suggestions were invaluable. We are so grateful for your warmth and hospitality. Thank you is not enough, but I sincerely thank you both!<br />
Greg

Zara and Tim,<br />
We cannot thank you enough for the amazing time! From the moment we stepped on board we felt completely at home. You both are so warm and gracious. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Our every want and need was anticipated. <br />
We will never forget all the different sites, activities and excursions you planned for us. We would have a difficult time picking a favorite. Each day was better than the last and the meals were so delicious that many nights we chose to eat on board rather than venture out. When we did go dine on land your recommendations were just right!<br />
We hope to see you back in the states- you are welcome at our home anytime!

How can we begin to thank you for the incredible week we’ve gotten to spend on your incredible boat?! We will cherish every memory. The fishing, the snorkeling, the hiking and all the laughs! You offered unparalleled hospitality and treated us like family.<br />
Thank you for curating the best stops, incredible meals, perfect cocktails, fantastic conversation but most of all for putting up with the Thornton family chaos and shenanigans! We miss you already! If you ever need a Texas ranch fix we’re a call away!

Tim and Zara <br />
<br />
BEST. TRIP. EVER!!! <br />
<br />
Everything was wonderful from the moment we stepped on Ocelot! We had such a fun relaxing trip. The food was amazing and each day had us going to a new adventure!!

Zara and Tim,<br />
<br />
You never missed a trick! From the excursions to bars to the best food in the Caribbean- it was first rate. We feel like we had a great time and added two real good friends to our list- thanks for everything it was great!

Zara and Tim,<br />
<br />
Thank you for a magical week! The thoughtfulness on every level was superb!

Happy New Year Tim and Zara! We can’t think of a better way to kick off 2024 than being on this AMAZING cruise with you! We have had the trip of a lifetime creating great memories our family will cherish forever.<br />
Thank you for being the best crew we could ever imagine. Your cooking was top tier, the excursions were great and the cruising was simply spectacular. We wish you all the best for 2024...

Dear Zara and Tim,<br />
<br />
We really appreciated our time on Ocelot. You both made it a special vacation for all of us. Thanks so much for all your hard work and taking good care of our crew. We loved the amazing meals and can’t wait for the recipe book!! We look forward to a future trip on Ocelot. You guys are the best!!

Dear Tim and Zara,<br />
Thank you for making my last break for a while so magical! Thank you for the rare opportunities (like water skiing and knee boarding) that even if we drove you crazy you still let us keep trying until we got it. The food was absolutely incredible along with the visual. You guys are so amazing and I will miss you both endlessly. Zara, thank you for letting me cook with you and showing me the behind the scenes in the kitchen. Tim, thank you for putting up with my stubbornness when I was attempting to waterski and then hyping me up when I went knee boarding. I would also like to thank you guys for teaching me how to sail, maneuver a boat as well as how to tie them off. I couldn’t ask for a better crew to spend my vacation with! I wish you the best and I hope to see you guys again some day!

Thank you very much for a fantastic charter. You both worked very hard to provide all of us with a “family memory” filled your. We want to do it again with you folks sometime. We all wish you the best for a successful 2024!

We can’t thank you both enough for one of the most amazing trips of our lives. From start to finish each day was filled with memories of joy, adventure, and most of all love. Our family truly appreciated your warmth and hospitality. We look forward to another with you both in the near future. We wish you all the best in 2024!
