What an incredible week aboard Andiamo!
*“Captain Juan & First Mate Rochi,
What an incredible week aboard Andiamo! 🌴⛵
This girls-only adventure through the BVIs became truly unforgettable thanks to your warm hospitality, your eye for every detail, and the calm, joyful energy you brought to each day.
Sharing this trip with my father Alfredo, my sister-in-law Althea, my niece Adryan, my son, and Angie created memories we’ll carry with us forever. 💛
You found the perfect balance between your dedication and our wish to explore the islands at our own pace — from peaceful snorkels and quiet mornings to fun bay-hopping days. Everything flowed naturally, and yet it was clear how much care you both put into making each moment special.
Your professionalism turned a great trip into an extraordinary experience. We honestly couldn’t have asked for better hosts.
Thank you for making our week on Andiamo absolutely wonderful.
With appreciation and lots of love,
Peter, Pedro Alfredo, Adryan, Yoyo & Angel 💙”*

This was the most incredible honeymoon we could have imagined!
*“Juan and Rochi,
Without a doubt, this was the most incredible honeymoon we could have imagined. We stepped onto Andiamo with no itinerary and no expectations — simply trusting that you would guide us… and what a gift that decision turned out to be.
You found the perfect balance between Fefe’s wish to completely relax and Nicole’s desire to move, explore, and stay active every day. Everything flowed naturally, but always with a level of care and attention to detail that showed in absolutely everything: the calm bays, the snorkels, the paddle sessions, the e-foil…
The food was, without exaggeration, the best we’ve ever had in our lives. Every plate was made with love, care, and creativity.
But beyond the beauty of the boat and the islands, what truly made this week unforgettable was the two of you. You made us feel genuinely cared for and loved. We couldn’t have imagined better people to share such a special moment of our lives with.
Thank you for sharing your magic with us.
With full hearts (and full bellies),
Fefe & Nicole 💛”*

*“To the BEST MEMORY MAKERS — Juan & Rochi,
We could not have imagined all we were able to see, do, and experience in one week. You showed us the BEST of the BVIs and the BEST of a catamaran crew.
The experiences and the hospitality FAR exceeded our expectations!
From the moment we met you at the dock, we knew this was going to be very special.
You both have a very special way of making your guests feel very at home and comfortable — actually, much better than home.
Rochi’s cooking was nothing short of AMAZING!!
Every meal + presentation was always a treat.
The kids will always remember your dancing meals on the back of the boat as well!
The planning, preparing, and timing of everything made the meals seamless!”*
Continuación:
*“We can’t thank you enough.
Your teamwork made the week feel effortless — you reminded us all that to be successful, teamwork, patience, and a kind heart for others is key. ❤️
You showed us those each day — thank you!
Thank you (again) for always wanting to explore every bay on the dinghy (sometimes with a “splashing” in hand).
Our family will NEVER forget this amazing vacation — you have given us so many memories and life lessons. ❤️
Forever in our hearts. 💙

P.S. If you visit the U.S., you ALWAYS have a place to stay in Ohio.”*

Review principal (Matt & Olivia · Ken & Maegan):
*“Dear Juan & Rochi,
What an incredible week! We are leaving with full hearts, big smiles, and unforgettable memories. From the moment we stepped onboard, you made us feel completely at home and cared for.
Juan — thank you for being such a patient and generous sailing instructor. You made every experience fun and safe.
Rochi — your cooking and cocktails were next level. Every meal was thoughtful, delicious, and beautifully presented.
But what we loved the most was watching the two of you work together — always in sync, always helping each other, always with quiet kindness. You created such a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, and we felt lucky to be part of it.
We’ll be dreaming of this trip for a long time. Thank you both so much!”*

This has been a vacation unlike any other.
Review principal:
“Juan & Rochi — thank you for a memorable week aboard Andiamo!
This has been a vacation unlike any other. 🤩
Rochi, your first-class meals, perfectly timed drinks, warm hospitality, and little stories about home made every day special.
Juan, thank you for teaching us a bit of sailing and letting us take the helm. We loved ‘map time,’ and your talent for finding the perfect coves to swim and kayak was spot-on.
And the windfoil show… awesome!”
Review 2 — Kris (May 25, 2025):
“All I can say is WOW!
We’ve done sailing trips before, but this one was on another level.
Your professionalism, integrity, care, and attention to countless details were incredible.
As a young couple, you work effortlessly as a team — and that’s something special.
We’re so grateful for this trip with our dear friends. Thank you so much!”

Review principal:
“Dear Juan y Rochi,
What an incredible week! It’s hard to put into words how special you made this experience. ✨
Rochi — your kindness and thoughtfulness are unmatched. Every meal, snack, and drink was crafted with so much detail and care. We can’t wait to recreate your curry dish and BBCs.
You created such a welcoming and relaxing environment; you made us feel at home.
Juan — thank you for showing us Saint-Martin, St. Barths, and Anguilla. The itinerary was perfect, and your patience and encouragement (especially with the e-foil!) made the week unforgettable.
We felt safe with you at the helm, and we appreciate how much love and effort goes into every day on board.
This was the best trip of our lives — topped off with Sammy’s unforgettable birthday celebration: the decorations, the meringue cake, the thousand-layer potatoes, the flow of Aperol Spritz, and that epic full-moon dance party under the glow sticks. 🎂🌕
Thank you for everything. We can’t wait to follow your journey — and we can’t wait for our next time on Andiamo.
Hasta la próxima!
Love,
Jessica, Michi, Sammy & Ari”

This was truly a trip of a lifetime
Review principal:
“Our first sailing excursion to the BVI’s could never be topped! 🙌
Juan & Rochi created a beautiful experience exploring the islands — dodging raindrops, teaching us about fish, turtles, winds, sails, mooring practices & anchor lines, while preparing delicious meals, keeping our glasses full, cleaning our spaces, helping us choose activities, and keeping us safe from pirates 🏴☠️.
Thank you for turning past bad Tortola memories into something special, and for finding spots you knew we’d love.”
The Suits:
“Thank you for such a wonderful, memorable, and special time on Andiamo!
You were incredibly lovely and attentive hosts. ✨
We were blown away by the beauty of the BVIs and loved every activity you recommended.
The beautifully presented meals were outstanding, and the sailing experience was masterful. ⛵
This was truly a trip of a lifetime. We will never forget it.
We wish you both the very best on your journey — Captain partners forever! 💖

Thank you for the best trip yet!
“Juan and Rochi – 🌊 We truly could not have had a better week with you both on board Andiamo. We have been fortunate to do this BVI trip several times – this was by far the BEST – you guys are the BEST! 🏆
Your warmth, kindness, enthusiasm, spirit, energy, and multiple talents made this trip so incredibly special. ✨
The amazing food, delicious drinks, incredible snorkel spots… Thank you!
Juan’s love of snorkeling and watersports was contagious — we have never had a captain so enthusiastic to get all the toys out — and an amazing teacher too! 👨🏫
Rochi — you are super talented as a chef 👩🍳 and you both just have amazing energy. If you are ever in SF or Montana, you have a place to stay.
Thank you for EVERYTHING ❤️

Thank you so much for helping make this the best vacation ever!! You are a great couple and it was so wonderful getting to know you both. The food and hospitality were five-star!

What can we say? This trip has far exceeded our expectations! From the moment we set foot on the Andiamo to our last breakfast, we have so many memories. Every meal was delicious, and every excursion that we went on was far beyond what we expected. Juan taking us around in the dinghy to fulfill our daily adventures was wonderful. All your attention to our every need was met with courtesy and smiles. My heart is full; Darren and I have been able to relax and recharge. We wish you both all the best in your future with your careers on land and your family.
