We had a fabulous time aboard Adagio! Jos and Chevone were excellent at understanding all of our needs and interests. Throughout the trip, they created experiences that far exceeded our expectations.

Jos and Chevone were professional, friendly, and genuinely nice people, and we would not hesitate to recommend them and Adagio to others.

We will shortly complete your evaluation.

Thank you for helping us create a memorable adventure!

Chevone is absolutely wonderful. She did a better than excellent job of listening to our food preferences. Had everything we requested on board prior to our arrival. All the meals were excellent, lots of healthy vegetables and fruits as requested. Made wonderful breakfast, lunch’s and dinner. Made superb birthday dinner for my husband – and a chocolate mousse filled cake – totally decorated the table, everything to make the day special. She was extremely accommodating. We went in a tour a snorkeled for conch. She made fritters with the conch meat we brought back – making them for the first time. We also did some fish trolling and she made sashimi and a ceviche with the tuna’s we caught. She made she our bathrooms and cabins were tidied up each day. Always had snacks readily available. Made appetizers prior to dinner – and Jos made a different cocktail each day to pair with the appetizers and they selected wines to pair with lunch and dinner.

We had an unforgettable week aboard Blue Eyes, thanks to our incredible crew, Chevone and Jos!
Jos was a fantastic captain who planned a well-balanced itinerary full of beautiful sights, fun stops, and plenty of time to relax. He even doubled as our evening mixologist, surprising us with fun and refreshing cocktails each night!
Chevone’s cooking was exceptional. every meal was fresh, thoughtful, and delicious. She went out of her way to tailor the menu to our group’s dietary needs and preferences, and nailed it every time.
Both Chevone and Jos were warm, professional, and made us feel completely at home on Blue Eyes. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through paradise. Thank you Chevone and Jos, for making our BVI experience unforgettable!

May 2025
Thsi was our first experience chartering a catamaran in the BVI. Our trip exceeded any expectations we had. Jos and his wife Chevone were amazing. The food was better than most high end restaurants. It was very evident that they love what they do and that translated into us having an unforgettable experience. They made sure we got to the best islands on the right days to take advantage of weather and wind conditions, things we would have never known if we were doing it on our own. We cna’t thank Jos and Chevone enough. Hopefully we have an opportunity to charter with them again some day.

January 2025
My family did a week long charter with Captain Jos and Chef Chevone and we truly had the time of our lives. I cannot say enough good things about Jos & Chevone. I truly shed a tear when it was time to depart.
From the very start, their hospitality, generosity, and professionalism was unparalleled! Jos and Chevone made us feel like family and took such great care to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime. I truly couldn’t say enough great things about them. A 10/10 experience and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

June 2024
We did a 5 night BVI trip on Blue Eyes that exceeded all of our expectations. The yacht was amazing- clean, well-kept and included all the creature comforts we could have wanted. It was obvious that Jos and Chevone take pride in Blue Eyes. They planned an itinerary that maximized our 5 nights, exploring as much of the BVI as possible in a short time and ensuring we will be back for more! Jos took the time to teach out teenage boys how to drive the dingy, which they loved. Chevone prepared delicious meals every day – each one better than the last. We knew we were in good hands with their knowledge of the area , seafaring skills and awesome hospitality. Plus we loved hanging out with them! We highly recommend Blue Eyes with Jos and Chevon and look forward to returning!

The trip far exceeded my expectations. Brilliant snorkeling, amazing meals, and beautiful boat. The crew we had, Chevon and Jos, raised the trip to another level with their ability to meet every need and desire including daily cocktails, taking us to the best snorkelling sites, exceptional cuisine and wonderful hospitality including paddleboards, kayak and floating mat on board. Never a dull moment but always laughing and spending a fantastic time with friends. Looking forward to another trip in the BVI and definitley with Chevon and Jos.

Jake and Caitlin made us feel like all our wishes came true. We were always at a perfectly fascinating spot at the right time. Our days were amazingly planned out, they felt long and satisfying. We did so much and yet feel like it was a super relaxing vacation. Every day was a surprise. Jake is a great captain and knows the BVIs really well, we always felt safe.
Caitlin’s cuisine was so wonderful, every meal was prepared with meticulous care, the flavors were amazing, the presentation spectacular. On top of that they were well balanced nutritionally. They were served without asking, at the perfect time between activities.
While providing a wonderful service, it felt like they were invisible angels taking care of us. We felt like we were at home and not guests on Adagio.
We pretty much surrendered all our decisions to their team, which made it the ultimate relaxation experience. We now know that it is the crew that makes the trip.
Thank you!

Jake and Cait – Thank you both so much for an amazing week! Its so difficult to find enough adjectives to describe all the beautiful things we saw and all the wonderful activities we did. But best of all was our exceptional crew! Cait, your menu was outstanding, and your attention to details in all areas was much appreciated. Jake, a professional captain through and through! You handled a boat-full of captains very well..LOL! And a special thank you for making Erin and my 60th birthday one we will never forget!
Until next time!

Thank you so much for making this week one we’ll always remember. Adam and I loved seeing all the new BVI sites – Vanishing Rock, Carrot shoal, Devils Kitchen, and on and on… Caits food was amazing and always a treat at the end of a long day – or at its start – or in the middle! Restaurant quality from the tiny kitchen! The two of you are the salt of the earth!
Let us know when you come to Boston!
John

Thanks so much for the amazing diving, food, games, company and so much more. You both made this week truly special. I loved exploring all the new dive sites with you, Jake, and all the outrageously good food from you Caitlin! I would love to come back and spend another week with you both!
Adam

Such an unbelievable experience, far better than any cruise that we have been on. Jake and Caitlin were incredible hosts, they spoiled us and guided us to the best places and best experiences.

Dear Cait and Jake.

What an amazing week you planned for our family in the BVI’s! I can’t begin to explain how much fun and how special this time was for our family this week. The snorkeling spots, family dinners, trips to Willy T’s couldn’t have been better if we tried. The boys loved seeing puffer fish, sharks, tarpon (especially James lol)
Cait every meal the children would try and guess what you were preparing and every one was surprising and beyond delicious…”Cait‘s plates” is a fan favorite…the girls think they are your marketing team now lol!
The two of you are such a fantastic team! The company is so lucky to have you! We will hunt y’all down the next time we come to the BVI’s and would love to host you in South Carolina whenever you’re free. Thanks for being our crew and more importantly, becoming our friends.

All our love, Stephanie, Doug, Hayes, Anna, Grant, and James

WOW! We had the most Fantastic week on Adagio, from early dives to evening game sessions. Thank you Cait for the most amazing meals cooked fresh for us every day before and after each dive. Thank you Jake for being an excellent Dive-Master as well as showing us no mercy on the tube. Thank you both for made beds, clean spaces and your never ending accommodation, patience and hospitality. It has been a wonderful week of sharks, rays, turtles and trigger fish. We wish you the best on your future outings and we hope that one day our paths cross again on this boat or the next.

With love from,

Dear Cait and Jake,

So sad that you didn’t take us up on our offer to adopt you..perhaps you could adopt us? (you do have the boat) thank you so much for one of the most fascinating weeks of our entire lives. We shall forever remember Cait’s French toast and other fabulous meals and drinks throughout the trip. Jake, you found some wonderful stay over sights and we appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the area and sailing with us. We desperately hope to sail with you again! Fair winds and following seas to both of you!

With Love,

To our wonderful adagio crew,

Jake and Caitlin you made our four days on the water truly exceptional. Even with “rolly”seas, high winds, big swells, rain showers & sunshine..we wouldn’t have had it any other way! You are an absolutely great team. We loved experiencing the BVIs with you. Wishing you both the best, as you maneuver the seas!

All our love the Mankes family
