May 15-21, 2026 review - "Trip of a lifetime"

Stef & Jake,

I don’t think there is any way we can thank you enough for this priceless gift of time together, relaxing, enjoying each other, laughing together, forgetting life’s worries for a while. We had a truly amazing time – an epic trip of a lifetime. We are walking away closer as a family, a little more patient and a lot more loving to each-other. You were amazing hosts and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will forever cherish the time and the memories and are privileged to call you family! Thank you again – I can’t say thank you enough. Love The Parker Family.

May 7- 14, 2026 - "3 time repeats"

To two of our favorite people- Thank you so much for a wonderful time once again. These times chartering with y’all has been 3 amazingly different experiences. Always a great time, great diving, and great fellowship. We can’t wait to come back and experience even more! So lucky to have found such great friends doing something we absolutely love! I can’t say thank you enough! See you soon!!! K&W

April 28 - May 5 Group Trip! - rebooked a 2nd trip

Captain Jake & Chef Stef,
Thank you so much for a magical week. It was beyond relaxing and beautiful. Each meal and location seemed so well thought out. Honestly even just someone understanding and remembering my coffee orders each morning as a mom is a priceless treat. Thank you also for sharing your amazing dog with us. His presence just exudes happiness and joy. Maybe I’ll be coming back coming back as Parker in another life. Thanks again, Allie

Captain Jake, Chef Stef & Parker,
Amazing once in a lifetime experience. You balanced being present and caring with giving us space. The food was exquisite. Snorkeling was so fun. We managed not to burn thanks to your warning about the sun. I am normally more eloquent but right now I am feeling sniffly. The extra care you gave our party member recovering from a medical procedure was exemplary. Thank you for making all his dreams capable based on his current health.
Parker, you are the bestest dog and I do not have a dog, so I have cherished snuggling, petting, and kissing on you.
Not goodbye…Till we see you again, Dawn & Rick

All I ask… is a tall ship and a star to steer her by – John Masefield. When the poet wrote these words they meant the stars above, used to navigate the world before the magic of satellites and GPS and radio. Little did he know the true stars are the crew. And nowhere in the cosmos above are there brighter stars than the crew of the Dragonfly. Jake – always willing to explain or repeat an explanation. Stef – who will laugh when replacing the third strange snack request. And Chief Cuddle Officer Parker, whose very queer hair welcomes visitors from around the world with cheerful love and affection. Stars are magic- like the magic of hospitality, service, delight, curiosity, and adventure. May all their shanty songs be joyful and may all their sea tales have only happy ending. Laurie

Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker!
THANK YOU for a truly magical week. Your love and attention to every detail made everyday unbelievably joyful. We loved everything about this holiday (and Pat certainly enjoyed all of the incredibly delicious food twice over…) Thank you for making his 55th the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. These are memories we will cherish for a lifetime. With love, Heather and Pat

Dear Captain Jake, Chef Stef, and Officer Parker (!)
This was the first time I have ever been on a chartered yacht (for more than a day trip). I have no doubt that you spoiled me for any other charters! The yacht itself was gorgeous and in such excellent condition – it felt like you purchased it just for us! But truly, what made this vacation so magical was your attention, care, thoughtfulness, and clear pleasure in providing an unforgettable experience. I want to give you a special shout out to the care you provided to one of the members of our group who was recovering from a medical condition. Your balance of professionalism and service, while always ensuring that this guest was able to maintain his dignity and independence, was truly above and beyond anything we could have anticipated. With Gratitude, Karen

New Years 2025/26

Our family truly enjoyed our time on the Dragonfly over the New Year’s week. From the moment we arrived, the space felt comfortable and exactly what we hoped, It was the perfect setting to welcome the new year and enjoy each other’s company.

Jake and Stef are wonderful hosts. Their care and attention to detail were evident throughout our stay. Captain Jake was very knowledgeable about the area and was fantastic when it came to scuba diving. Stef is an incredible cook – her meals were such a treat and added an extra layer of comfort for our GF daughter-in-law, during our time on board. Parker truly made the trip extra special, he spent lots of time cuddling with us.

It’s clear how much love and time has gone into creating the Dragonfly experience even more special.
Thank you for sharing it with us and for helping make our week so special.
We will always have Venezuela to thank for your extended stay. The Pasculano Family
