HOURGLASS

We absolutely LOVED everything about our experience from the initial communication, sending literally all the details to help us make an educated decision on the 60th bday celebration trip we wanted to have up until the day before we left…they go above and beyond to ensure you have all the details you need; quickly responding; and quite honestly, just excited for our travel group…<br />
<br />
Then when we arrived in Tortola and saw our boat…WOW!! Gorgeous; big; so many spots to “hang/chill/sun”; greeted by Capt Adriana and Chef Daryl….not even sure where to begin w/ the both of them!!!!<br />
<br />
They are top notch…Adi is just adorable, engaging, knows her stuff and made our trip beyond magical…Chef Daryls food was off the charts delicious!!!! They made the trip so enjoyable by taking us where we wanted to go and always accommodating our needs…took them out to dinner with our group of 8 to the Lobster Trap, so that they would be able to enjoy an evening off the boat with us….<br />
<br />
It was truly a trip of a life time and worth the money!!!! We literally can’t wait to go again…and based off of peoples responses to my stories, I have shared that this was the way to go!!!

Thank you both for the most wonderful + incredible week. You both went above and beyond to make this a truly unforgettable trip.<br />
<br />
To be here over the Christmas week has been so special.<br />
<br />
We can’t wait to see you again on this amazing boat.<br />
With love, Katharine, James, Ben, Max + Liv<br />

XOXO Lynn, Todd, Sami & Dani

This journey has been a dream from start to finish. We are so thankful for the warm care and attention from Captain Adriana and Chef Martin—everything was absolutely delicious. Every detail was thoughtfully cared for, from the bathrobes in the evening and the lavender pads in the laundry basket, to the toothpaste and the goggles.<br />
<br />
We swam with nurse sharks, barracudas, turtles, and saw beautiful coral fans. We tried the e-foil and the floating mat, played President and Piau Piou for hours, and enjoyed so much incredible food.<br />
<br />
Our entire family is grateful for these memories—we will cherish them forever.<br />
<br />

Favorite Moments:<br />
1. Adriana’s hugs, caviar, and Pringles welcome greeting<br />
2. Perfect Diet Coke calculations — and those sneaky Coke Zeros<br />
3. Hanging out on the top of the boat<br />
4. Martin’s DJ skills!<br />
5. Super sneaky and stealthy breakfast cabin cleanups before the girls’ trip to the shops<br />
6. Closing the kitchen… but still letting us in to answer endless culinary questions<br />
7. Specialty drinks and dancing in the kitchen<br />
8. You both anticipated and personalized every need and want the whole trip!<br />
9. Just… everything about Adriana & Martin 💛

We can’t put into words how much we enjoyed our time with Adriana and Martin on the HouRglass. Here are our top five favorite memories:<br />
1. The purple cave — glowing and mysterious<br />
2. Adriana’s Painkillers and Rum Punches (those drinks were amazing!)<br />
3. Martin’s food (we honestly can’t even pick a favorite!)<br />
4. Zipping around on the e-foil and other water toys<br />
5. Walker’s “sunburned hot dog legs” 😆<br />
<br />
Thank you, Martin and Adriana, for a wonderful week we will remember forever.<br />

What an amazing adventure you curated for us! We all had a fabulous<br />
time cruising the BVIs- snorkeling, sailing, eating the best meals & of<br />
course the cocktails. Thank you for hosting our crew of 10! Indulging<br />
the kids & never ending questions. What a week- Captain Adriana and<br />
Chef Rachel you are the best!<br />

week.<br />
Y’all are incredible<br />

Thank you so much Adriana and Rachel for such an amazing week!<br />
This experience has been better than I ever could’ve expected and<br />
that is very much due to you two going above and beyond for us this<br />
whole week. I will miss the amazing food and top notch sailing so<br />
much - even though we didn’t get to see Alix Earle, I couldn’t have<br />
asked for a better senior spring break!<br />
❤️ Nonah

Thank you so much Rachel and Adriana. You made this the best<br />
spring break ever. You guys are so fun and amazing.<br />
Thanks-<br />

The trip was very fun. Chef Rachel made really tasty food. My favorite<br />
was the cooc coco. Capt Adriana was really nice and was the best<br />
captain I could ask for. I didn’t have a favorite part because everything<br />
was so fun.<br />
Owen -10

Thanks to Adriana and Rachel for making my spring break better than<br />
I ever could have imagined. The food Rachel made was so great and I<br />
never would’ve expected such amazing food on a boat. I am sad that<br />
we never got to push Captain Adriana into the water, but your jokes<br />
were always so funny. Thanks again for everything and I hope we<br />
were your favorite guess of the season.<br />
❤️ Frankie -14

Unforgettable vacation with captain Adriana and Chef Rachel. They<br />
could not have made the trip more memorable. They provided<br />
outstanding service and fun! She always found the best mooring spots<br />
for us. We loved having them come with us on adventures to karaoke<br />
at Bitter End, explore the Baths, experience Willy T’s and so much<br />
more. Captain was so flexible and accommodating. We really<br />
appreciated her teaching our son Charlie to sail- she was so patient.<br />
And chef Rachel- WOW!! She has such a passion for cooking. So<br />
many wonderful meals- we actually ran out of adjectives<br />
complementing her meals. We especially loved the salmon bowls,<br />
lobster and rice. We could go on and on. Thank you so very much for<br />
everything you did to make our BVI vacation so incredible!<br />
Lots of love,<br />
Holly, Allen (Piglet), Erin, Charlie, Mieler, Ben

Perfect vacation with the all gal crew! They changed up the plans on a<br />
dime, made us feel extremely welcome and prepared food better than<br />
a five ⭐ restaurant! Took us to all the cool spots. We all got to do<br />
what we wanted to and they catered to our young adults too! Amazing<br />
trip, Beautiful scenery, sails of a master and artistic and delicious<br />
meals! I don’t know how we could have had a better trip, other than for<br />
the week not to end! Thanks to the Memento Amori- what a<br />
catamaran!! Set up perfect for our crew.<br />
Thank you all for making our trip memorable!<br />

Adriana and Rachel<br />
Thank you for everything you did for our group! My favorite part was<br />
getting to know you both.<br />
Until we meet again!<br />
Love,<br />

We were all so excited to have a chef onboard & not have to cook or leave the boat! This was a unique week for Sam bringing Martin Horsey aboard in Carrie’s absence, but together they operated like a well-oiled machine. Martin was absolutely wonderful. We kept telling him to stop feeding us so much so we could have a chance to be hungry for dinner! I took pictures of almost every meal & snack he prepared. From fresh poké bowls, to homemade rum cake, lobster Benedict for breakfast or Nutella French toast, our tastebuds could barely keep up. We requested a steak dinner for our last night which he prepared perfectly, & he even rose to the challenge from Chris to make a Doritos encrusted snapper which we all loved! By the end of the trip the ladies were hanging out in the kitchen to watch him work. It was so clear that he loves his job & took great pride in feeding us. He can also make lots of fun mixed drinks & kept our glasses full!

Adriana and Rachael thank you so much for an amazing week from<br />
our first day’s welcome to our final breakfast. ( nice job on that<br />
rainbow :)! ) this trip has exceeded our expectations. We look forward<br />
to following you “on social” and can hardly wait to hear about what you<br />
both do next.<br />
-G Family

Adriana and Rachael are a dynamic duo, crewing a fabulous and<br />
thoughtfully appointed (and roomy) catamaran. Their local knowledge<br />
is excellent taking us to some fun party spots and some peaceful out<br />
of the way hideaways we couldn’t have asked for a better crew.<br />
Rachael’s food was outstanding. We ate better on the boat than at any<br />
of our meals on shore. Everything aboard this operation is first class.<br />
-Bill & Michelle K.

We felt very well cared for by Adriana and Rachel. They were<br />
attentive, accommodating, and they seemed to know our needs and<br />
wants without our having to ask. We enjoyed their humor and<br />
flexibility. We also felt safe and they did an excellent job caring for us<br />
and keeping us safe.

Thank You Adriana & Rachael for helping us celebrate our 25th<br />
wedding anniversary in style. I know it was your first voyage together,<br />
but it seemed like you have been together for years. The trip was the<br />
perfect blend of relaxation, fine dining, sightseeing, and fun. I hope we<br />
can see both of you back on the Memento Amori again in the near<br />
future.
