This was the best experience with the best crew! Everything was amazing – the boat, the food & drink, the places we visited & Christian & Nix are the sweetest duo!

They were so kind & gracious & always accommodating to whatever requests we had. Nix’ knocked the food & menus out of the park. Her meal selections were delicious & she always paid special attention to our preferences.

This was not our first time on a catamaran but this was the best trip we’ve ever had & that’s all thanks to Christian & Nix. They went over & above to make sure we had a memorable vacation.

We can’t thank our new friends enough for making our trip so fun & relaxing!

There are crews and there are friends. Nix and Christian are definitively in the latter category! We had the best food, sails, and fun (I wish I could take a Nix home as our personal chef!).
10/10 week.

We just wrapped up the most incredible trip sailing through the British Virgin Islands on the 50′ Ether, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Extra-special thanks to our amazing crew, Captain Christian and Chef Nix.

From day one, they made our entire family feel completely at home. Traveling with three kids (10, 10, and 4) can be a lot, but Christian and Nix went above and beyond to make it effortless and fun for everyone. Our 4-year-old absolutely adored them, she loved helping Nix in the galley and looked forward to every day playing sous chef with meals, and she had the best time playing and exploring with Christian.

Christian curated the perfect itinerary, taking us to stunning spots each day, hidden coves, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful beaches we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt like a highlight.

And Nix, wow. Every single meal was outstanding. Creative, fresh, and somehow perfectly tailored to both adults and kids alike. We were blown away meal after meal.

What truly made the trip special, though, was how much they genuinely cared. They didn’t just do their jobs, they made lasting memories for our whole family and I feel like they were part of our families on the trip.

If you’re considering a BVI charter, do yourself a favor and request Christian and Nix. Absolute rockstars. 🌊☀️

Extraordinary! Christian and Nix became our family and it was hard to leave them at the end of the week. They excelled in their roles and I wouldn’t go on another yacht without them.

Most of our group are seniors and visits to some of the islands involved getting in and out of a dingy onto ramps of different levels. Christian noticed right away those who had mobility or balance issues and went above and beyond to accommodate them. He was empathetic and caring and attentive as was Nix. They went out of their way to assist us in every way possible.

They work beautifully together as a team and made all of us feel pampered and welcomed and special. Christian made all of the arrangements for taxis when necessary, and restaurant reservations and ensured everything went according to plan before he left us. His partner, Nix, is a beautiful cheerful lovely soul and an excellent chef. Her cuisine was healthy and her recipes were unique and delicious. She accommodated likes and dislikes and always with a smile on her face.

The two of them made our trip fun and memorable with their knowledge and shared experiences and caring personalities.

Our yacht, Ether, had high end finishes, very comfy beds and linens and was very well designed with lots of windows and skylights that open for fresh air and lots of light.

It was a once in a lifetime experience and we also left feeling blessed to have met two such wonderful people. I will consider them dear friends for the rest of my life.

Christian and Nix are absolutely amazing!
They made this fabulous trip great!
We’re actually going to miss them. They became family.
Nix is an excellent cook, it was incredible! The most amazing dishes. There are no words to describe this truly amazing trip!
I’d do it again in a heartbeat!!

Rita

Christian and Nix were absolutely amazing on The Ether.
The authentic daily meals were unbelievable, I got to experience meals that I loved and would have never have tried before.
They were very attentive to our needs and sailed to amazing spots.
Would definitely recommend the crew and boat to anyone looking to sail The BVI’s.
Nikki

Loved our week on Ether! Christian and Nix exceeded every hope we had in a crew.
They made it fun and relaxing and were part of the family.
Highly recommend a BVI charter.
Brandon

Best vacation you can take. It’s like having a personal butler, chef and concierge who also entertain and problem solve every minute of the day.
There is enough to do and see in the BVI that you could do this trip over and over and have it feel like a new trip each time.
The quality of the destination and the talent and care of Nix and Christian sets the week apart from all other trips we have taken.
It’s hard to believe you can be so comfortable on such a big adventure. Would love to do this again!
Carli

For 7 days we explored several of the British Caribbean islands with them. We had an amazing time.

There were four of us adults (along with Christian, the captain, and Nix, the chef). The space onboard was comfortable — we were able to spend time together and relax freely.

We let Christian suggest the itinerary and it truly couldn’t have been better; each stop was a different kind of paradise. Nix made sure every meal and appetizer was varied and beautifully prepared, with an exquisite international menu.

Highly recommended for a truly unique experience.
Mari

How did you find your crew? Were they friendly, knowledgeable,
attentive and accommodating?
Crew was outstanding … couldn’t have
been better. Christian’s seamanship and willingness to accommodate
our preferences was great. Nix was fun, attentive and terrific. Best
of all, they worked together extremely well. It was tough to say
goodbye to them at the end of the week.

Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your
favorite aspect of the yacht?
The yacht was as expected. Nix and Christian kept it spotless – A/C worked perfectly.

Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the
menu to your preferences?
Nix is a very talented chef. We raved about the food all week. Her portions were perfect and she accommodated allergies and preferences effortlessly. The food was
certainly one of the main highlights of the trip

Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed?
Itinerary was great – some of which was the crews recommendations, some based on
input we got from friends.

Nix and Christian were absolutely amazing!! The went above “and beyond” with every aspect of the trip!! I can’t say enough great things about them……from the great meals, drinks and personality they didn’t miss a thing!
I would highly recommend them as your crew!! They are the best!!!
Shelly R.

Amazing!
Christian and Nix are the best! I would sail anywhere with them!
Mary F.

Our trip on the Ether was fantastic!

Nix and Christian are a wonderful duo and showed us many beautiful spots in pristine coves around Virgin Gorda and surrounding BVI’s. They had great recs for hikes, restaurants and water sports.

Nix is a superb chef and every meal was creative, delicious and beautifully presented.

We would highly recommend this trip to other families and friends.
Ted D.

Christian and Nix were amazing!
Every detail handled, and expectations exceeded!
There were 3 generations on our trip and they were perfect with us all!
Best family vacation ever! See you next year!
Joette B.

Easily one of the best (if not the best) vacations I have ever taken. Everything was absolutely perfect. Stewart and Reeve were gracious and engaging and made our time together all the better. The Ether was well appointed, the meals that Reeve prepared were delicious and elegant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We had a group of 8 (2 families and our children) and had an absolute blast, making 2 new friends in Stewart and Reeve. A++++

David B.

The trip of a lifetime!

We just returned from a week on the catamaran, and I’m still dreaming about the turquoise water, unforgettable memories, and—most of all—the incredible people we shared it with. Stewart and Reeve weren’t just skilled professionals—they were kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and truly unforgettable.

From morning coffees with a view, to meals that rivaled any five-star restaurant (seriously—every dish was a work of art), to belly laughs under the stars, every single moment was magic. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, but it was the people who made this trip so special. We came away not just relaxed and recharged, but feeling like better humans for having spent time with such extraordinary souls.

If you’re lucky enough to book this experience—DO IT. You’ll make memories that stay with you forever.

Katie W.

These two were unbelievable…. They knew exactly what to do and kept us busy!! They were extremely nice and we all felt like friends.
Captain Stewart knew what he was doing and was a very funny guy.
Also, Chef Reeve made the best food I have ever had. The food was truly amazing. Overall great experience and I wouldn’t change anything about this crew.
Chris G

I’ve never been on a trip where the crew has truly made an unforgettable experience.
Stewart and Reeve are the most amazing people.
Stewart radiates of positive energy and is full of funny jokes while Reeve is one of the sweetest girls who instantly became my friend.
Captain Stewart taught us how to sail while Reeve made the most delicious food (ask for the Caribbean chicken salad!!).
I couldn’t recommend this crew enough.

Paige M.

Reeve & Stewart are a fantastic crew- whatever we wanted or needed , they were right there. The food was 5 star!! It was thoughtfully planned & artistically presented.
And the Ether was fully outfitted for luxury & fun.
Expect a spectacular vacation!!
Kathleen B.

Only wonderful things to say about Stewart and Reeve!
The Ether was comfortable and Reeve made amazing gourmet meals.
Stewart was knowledgeable and patient and fun.
10 out of 10 would happily repeat.
Jan W.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.
Stewart and Reeve were absolutely amazing. Very patient with all our shenanigans.
The food was some of the very best I’ve ever had, Reeve is an absolutely amazing chef the presentation and the quality was amazing and delicious.(she even had her own herb garden she used in the meals)
I can’t give enough praise for these two truly the best experience ever!
Nate T.

We are a family of three and this being our first sailing charter with a two person crew, we did not quite know what to expect. The boat was lovely, well appointed, and comfortable.

The real stars of our vacation were Captain Stewart and First mate/chef Reeve. These two are the best kind of humans! Generous with their upbeat energy and humor.

Whether sailing, snorkeling, or sitting around playing board games, we had the absolute best time with them. Frankly, we don’t know if we will be able to enjoy future vacations without them. I could gush on and on about how wonderful they are.

Cherry on top, Reeve is an exceptional chef, she made the most wonderful meals! We only ate one meal off the boat and I definitely preferred her cooking.

Kelly H.

Reeve and Stewart were amazing! Our first time sailing with them (of many years sailing in the Virgin Islands) and they made sure we had a fantastic time. Reeve cooks a fantastic meal and Stewart pours a mean painkiller – we are heading home very well looked-after. Lots of sailing fun, diving competitions, and some mean card and board game playing at anchor. 10/10 and hope to sail with you both again next year!
Mathew H.

Matthew H.

Good was great, boat was great, Stewart and Reeve were both amazing and brilliant company to have for a week.
Lots of snacks offered on board if someone got hungry between meals and we had lots of opportunities to explore in the ocean and on land, if we wanted.
Marin

The crew was very helpful and funny and great company. The food was wonderful as well. Thank you to Stewart and Reeve!!!
Isla H.

Our week exploring the USVI and BVI aboard *Ether* was fantastic, thanks to the skill and hospitality of Stewart and Reeve. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, but what made the trip truly special was their thoughtful approach and seamless execution.

Every aspect of the trip was customized to our preferences, from the itinerary to the excellent meals. Stewart and Reeve have a calm, confident way about them that made everything feel effortless. We know that sailing and hospitality come with their challenges, but if there were any, we never noticed—they handled everything smoothly.

Beyond the great experiences they created for us, Stewart and Reeve were simply great company. Spending a week in close quarters with them was easy and enjoyable, and we’d happily sail with them again. If you’re looking for a charter, *Ether* with Stewart and Reeve is a great choice.
Beth H

We had an amazing time.
Stuart and Reeve were incredible. They made the experience. We saw some beautiful spots, snorkeled and paddle boarded.
Reeve’s food was delicious. Presentation was great and food was very flavorful.
Stuart was not only a great captain but also a great bartender! 😀 Overall, we highly recommend Stuart and Reeve!
Dragos S.

What a week!
Capt Stewart and Chef Reeve exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we boarded, they made us feel like Ether was our home.
With their signature warmth and humor, they tended to our every need.
We sailed, kayaked, snorkeled, learned how to do stand up paddle boarding, and did nothing at all when we felt like it.
On top of that, we feasted on Reeve’s creative and delicious meals three times a day. The trip may have been only a week, but our lovely memories will last a lifetime.
Patrice K

There are some vacations you enjoy because of the location, others because of the wonderful food, and still others because of the excellent service.
Our time on the Ether with Stewart and Reeve combined all of the above and more. It was a perfect week of sailing the BVI – full of beautiful locations, lots of laughter and wonderful conversations with our dear friends, as well as our new ones, Stewart and Reeve.
They allowed us to be as active (or not) as we wanted . . . Lazy napping, paddle boarding, kayaking, a bit of snorkeling, a light hike, and taking the wheel of the Ether (without incident)! We would return to this boat – and with this crew – in a flash. It was a beautiful week we’ll always remember. Thank you Reeve and Stewart for your graciousness, hospitality and care. We look forward to sailing with you again very soon!
Melody B.

To say that our week with Stewart and Reeve, aboard Ether was above &beyond our expectations doesn’t do justice to the incredible experience provided to us. From our initial communication, and throughout the entire trip, their attention to detail, easy-going and relaxed manner and humor created an atmosphere that was as special as the stunning beauty surrounding us.

The itinerary, planned by the amazing Captain Stewart brought us to sunny beaches, great snorkeling spots, hiking adventures, fantastic sailing days, paddle boarding, and “subnado” runs was eclipsed only by the scrumptious menu, crafted by our spectacular chef Reeve.

We’ll miss Captain Stewart’s morning breakfast calls, Reeve’s warm morning smile with a full pot of coffee in hand, all the laughs, and jokes throughout the day. We left lots of bubbles in the water, and took memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t thank this crew enough, or express how they really made our trip one of the most memorable times of my life.

Reeve and Stewart a special crew!

Lynn J.

Our charter on Ether around the BVIs was a trip of a lifetime. What an awesome way to connect with friends and explore a beautiful part of the world. Everyday was filled with a healthy mix of adventure and ‘painkiller’ cocktails.
Such a heartfelt thank you to Stewart and Reeve for such fantastic hospitality. I think we can all agree that we’re going to miss the banter, laughter, warmth and exceptional dishes that were served every day.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🫶

Dana J.

Ivan and Marisia – This week has been incredible starting with the warm welcome and big hugs. It was easy to see your genuine personalities and bubbling energy. We knew you were the perfect fit for us!
Marisia – your attention to meals was over the top and much appreciated. I don’t think we ate one thing that we didn’t like. We also appreciated the variety of snacks set out for any time. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious never lose that ! You and Ivan both made us feel at home and inspire us to return sooner than later. We will definitely miss you especially Monday morning when we are making our own breakfast! You two are truly something special and we feel blessed to know you. We wish you all the luck.
Thank you for the most unforgettable week and for letting us be part of your world. Stay in touch .
Balonier

Marisia and Ivan
Thank you so much for a wonderful trip !
You two made us truly feel so welcome and special, you thought of everything from the details on our meal table, delicious meals , exciting snorkel/diving adventure, kayaking, game times and all the exciting islands, you took us to explore. We really enjoyed getting to know you both. You are such a amazing, kind, thoughtful friends. Thanks for making our trip the trip of a lifetime – Maley

This trip was absolutely perfect and it was all thanks to Ivan and Marisia! We were absolutely spoiled and no other sailing trip will ever compare.
We all got to experience new things and some of us conquered our fears of the ocean thanks to the calm and expert guidance of Ivan and Marisia. When we get home we will all forever be longing to hear the conch shell for marisia’s spectacular meals. Please come visit us. Thank you for a week of unforgettable memories.
-The Loewinsohn Charter

You both are the best! We had an amazing time!
Ivan and Marisia you guys make the best team.

Ivan, your patient , encouraging, experienced and knowledgeable and a kind finger doctor that saved Abis life. Your expertise at the helm is fun to watch.
Marisia, your cotagions zest for life and all ocean creatures is a breath of fresh air. You are so fun and bubbly. The food always on point –> taste, timing and presentation. You make it all look so easy. Thank you both.
We are going home relaxed and will have a lifetime of memories to play over and over.
-The Harris Family

Dear Ivan and Marisia,
Thank you for making this past week the most memorable, relaxing and fun week ever! I feel so lucky to have gotten to know you both-here’s to more adventures together.
Xo Hopie
ps Marisia- your energy is electrifying; thank you for everything!

Ivan and Marisia,
Wow…what an amazing week! We all loved everything we did, everything we ate, and we love you!
Love,
Karen

Ivan and Marisia,
I just want to thank you both immensely for the wonderful week on Ether. You guys were the chillest, most down to earth pair of captains I could possibly imagine and made our week amazing. Forever grateful for all the amazing food and calm leadership this week. Best of luck with everything you guys do in the future!

A true trip of a lifetime. To say that out experience exceeded our expectations is an absolute understatement.

The yacht itself was beautiful, clean, well maintained and comfortable. However, the magic was created by Ivan and Marisia.

We were greeted by Ivan and Marisia at out taxi with pure excitement and warmth-we were made to feel special immediately. Their eagerness to create a truly memorable vacation was remarkable.

Ivan’s experience and professionalism and competency as a captain put us all at ease.

Marisia is an outstanding chef. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner was better than any of the “top” restaurants we have visited. There was great variety each day and the presentation made you feel like you were in a fine dining restaurant. We can honestly say that every meal was delicious!

Fianlly Ivan and Marisia worked together as an amazing team dedicated to creating a fun experience for all. We snorkeled, tubed, visited multiple island beaches, went to fun bars, explored the baths in VG and much more. The detail and care put into everything we did was remarkable.

Thank you so much for an amazing trip.

-The Wiggins Family

Ivan and Marisa were just incredible. As I shared with them there is customer service and there is customer experience. Customer service is how you treat someone, customer experience is how that person feels treated. I believe I can speak for each and every one of us that were on the trip that they treated us like Royalty! The food was better than a 5 star hotel and their patience, kindness, and humbleness is unheard of in today’s world.
-The Andersons

I sailed for a week in the BVIs with Marisia & Ivan in 2023 and cannot speak highly enough about their level of professionalism, service & most importantly- FUN. Ivan gave us a very detailed low down on our itinerary each day, clearly showing the knowledge he had about the area. We were on a set itinerary that we had done previously, so when we asked about any new magic hidden spots to venture to, Ivan was happy to comply. He took us to some of the most beautiful hidden grottos in the BVIs. Always with a smile or a quick witted compliment- could not have asked for a better captain.
Marisia is also just an absolute ray of sunshine. I’m not sure that I’ve ever met someone with so much energy & levity- it’s absolutely contagious. She served absolutely amazing food every single day, paying special attention to dietary needs, and even went above and beyond when my 30th birthday arrived on the last day of our charter. She not only baked an incredible cake, but had a competition series for the entire boat to participate in. Oh- and decorated my cabin full of balloons! She always has a smile on her face and is eager to help in any way you might need.
Overall this team is absolutely phenomenal at what they do. From technical knowledge, to amazing customer service- they provide everything any charter guest would need. I would highly recommend them to anyone or any company. They will not disappoint.

We sailed around the island of Antigua with Ivan and Marisia and had the best experience! Their friendly, warm. personalities made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond for us on our anniversary as well; setting up a private lunch for my husband and I. We recommend them and their hospitality to anyone able to book a trip with them! Happy Sailing!
-Kate and Chris

Marisia and Ivan were truly a dynamic duo. Two very important parts of the guest charter experience are professionalism in yachting skills and hospitality.
They excelled in both!
Ivan is a skilled sailor while cruising and is very mechanical, keeping everything clean and working. He is also an excellent dive master.
Marisia is a skilled sailing mate and has top notch galley skills, preparing wonderful meals. What strikes me most is their happiness and rhythm as a working couple.
They run an excellent charter and it was probably the best I’ve seen in the last ten years as an avid charterer. Most notable is their local know ledge and their ability to make guests feel comfortable. They are truly lovely and personable people.
-Joyce

Marisia is a friendly, outgoing, professional individual. She added so much value to our trip! Marisia is definitely a people person, making everyone feel comfortable and keeping things upbeat and fun.
She went out of her way to make sure we were all having a good time and always asked for feedback to make sure she was keeping all of us happy. She is a h
hard worker and with a great attitude and should go far in whatever career she pursues!
Hoping to sail with her agian!
-Lynn

I could fill the entire book with all the wonderful memories Richard and Dom helped us create, but that would leave no room for others to journal their good wishes…

Richard and Dom,
Thank you for feeding us some of the best food we’ve ever eaten, motoring us to every “must see” spot in the BVI and entertaining us with stories your own adventures.
I feel like we came to Ether as customers, but left as friends.
We truly could not have had a more enjoyable vacation.
Thanks for the memories,
Patrick

We had an amazing week long trip with Richard and Dom. This is our 3rd cat trip and Richard and Dom were just top notch! Dom, did an awesome job managing our diet restrictions with amazing and delicious meals. Everyone cleaned their plate with every meal. We will certainly boat with them again! Best Cat trip we have ever had!!
Thank you so much for everything!

Ode to Ether

Thanks and praise to Richard and Dom. With them at the helm you can’t go wrong!

Your kindness is stellar your knowledge complete .

To keep us all happy was your amazing feat!

What was our favorite, one might ask… Anegada, lobsters or just maybe the Baths?

Our sail, this trip is one for the books. A tribute to friendship and 40 year old vows that we took!

So we thank you and honor you doing so much for us, teaching Nancy to sail and carrying my phone with no fuss.

Wishing you both fair winds and calm seas, the you are with your best friends life is a BREEZE!

Love,
Don and Jane
Kevin and Nancy

Ether is brand new and is fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens and modern bathrooms. Individual yeti cups for everyone in our group. We loved the cooler of fresh, filtered water each day. Every type of mixer and alcohol we could want for making drinks. Ben, our captain was also an excellent bartender who made perfectly balanced cocktails for us. Charlie is a very talented chef who prepared amazing meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We especially loved the beautiful charcuterie boards she would make for a late-afternoon snack. Perfect for when we were hungry coming back from snorkeling or diving. Lunch and dinner meals were perfectly paired with wines. Charlie is also a dive master and we felt very comfortable with her leading us on dives as beginner divers.
Ben is a very calm and capable captain. We felt very safe with him and he was very friendly and easy to talk to.

-The Hariri Family

Ben – I’ll love you forever for going to the bottom of the ocean for my sunglasses, you are the best Captain! Charlie thank you for your amazing food and we loved chanting Celine Dion into the moonlight. All the food we had was amazing – our favourite dinner was lasagna and the lunches were so fresh! We will miss our daily morning smoothies! We absolutely loved Anegada! The beach at white bay was gorgeous! Singing, dancing, jumping, snorkeling, swimming and SHOTS! Thank you for keeping us safe and showing us all the best spots in the BVI, you both made it an unforgettable week and 30th Birthday!!!
-The Daleys

We could not have asked for a better crew than Charlie and Ben. From Ben’s patience in teaching Nick how to loop the lines to Charlie’s guidance in finding incredible snorkeling areas. Ben was a great bartender, even surprising us with a happy hour on the beach! Charlie’s take charge confidence was perfect for our group and made our trip even more enjoyable. Thanks to Ben & Charlie this trip went beyond expectations. Charlie is an amazing chef! All of our meals were delicious and fresh. Loved the variety! Especially loved the Lasagna, conch ceviche and smoothies! So many ‘’best’’ memories! Anegada – the scavenger hunt Ben & Charlie organized for us -, Conch Island. Incredible snorkeling everywhere, tons of fish, stingrays, turtles! Hobie cat races. Diving, flipping, dolphins swimming by the boat! Great memories and one-of-a-kind experience!
-The Giordanos

Thanks Ben for letting me drive the boat!! Charlie, loved your infectious smile and zest for life. Ben, thanks for answering all our dumb questions! What a wealth of knowledge and patience. Loved you guys, thanks for being patient with us problematic children! We didn’t know ‘’green stuff’’ could taste so good!! Thank you for keeping us healthy and making it taste so good! One word : AMAZING. Our best memories: THE WEEK! Everything, we loved the rally you made for us on Anegada, the baths, the color of the water and dancing on the beach in Anegada!
-The Curans

Where do we start?! Ben and Charlie you made this experience SO special for our family! You have such a spirit of hospitality and you lead our family beautifully with your many gifts! The food was amazing! We loved every single dish and appreciated how you so thoughtfully chose everything based on our requests. It was SO good! Our Best memories: Snorkeling, dinner with Charlie and Ben, Tubing, Sleeping with the waves, learning to sail!

You guys are sooooo nice and I will forever remember this trip! Food was down right Awesome! – Katherine

Tubing was awesome! My Favourite meal was steak! – Lauren

We had such a fabulous trip!!!
Right off the bat: the boat was new and the crew said we were only their second charter in the BVI’s, due to some sort of permitting or something? At first I was a little nervous wondering how it was going to go, but they could not have been more enthusiastic about where we were headed and what we were going to see. Captain Ben was super-laid back and friendly and very knowledgeable. Charlie was an excellent cook, very sociable and smart, and even taught the girls how to play a few new games. They really were a delight, which in that situation is really a make or break! Plus, they were young so the girls thought they were cool!!!

I’m not sure what other feedback to give, other than it was a great trip for our family and we made a lot of amazing memories! Thank you for all you did!!!!

Charlie & Ben – you are amazing! You are so welcoming, helpful and fun. Thank you for your patience with kids (and the rest of us!) and extra thanks from Carol for the help and consideration with her knee. You made our week extra special! Best food ever! Charlie, you have an amazing gift. Everything was delicious. Our favorites: aged steaks, shanghai noodles. Risotto, ceviche, brioche French toast, fresh conch ceviche, every dessert and daily chocolate chip pankakes!

Our best memories are the Anegada snorkeling tour, the sail to and from Anegada, diving the Rhone wreck and seeing the goliath grouper! Dancing at Foxy’s, Willie T’s Jump, Deep sea fishing, Driving the Mokes, best naps, kayaking, the baths, playing uno, the solitude at Great Camano, spending time with family and friends, making new friends, first ever snorkeling and sailing for the kids Riley and Parker : Best week of our lives

Everyone needs a Ben and Charlie! You two made our bucket list trip EVERYTHING we imagined. After the incredible hospitality, selection of our itinerary in the BVI and the fun competitions we had, we are sure we will be back to repeat this bucket list item. The food was impeccable from the eggnog French toast pulled pork sandwich, homemade gyoza and charcuterie was amazing. Every meal was a 5 star dining experience. From the best valentines day ever to the wet dighny ride to the yacht club to jumping off the boat with Charlie it was all fun! We will see you again – greg & janalee.

Benoit and Charlie are SO much fun! Charlie taught us how to play Catan on rainy days and Ben let us steer the boat over choppy waters! They made sure we had the best tune ever – a truly exceptional crew. Awesome snorkeling & scuba diving with our guides Ben & Charlie who knew all of the best places. So much fun spending time together and them joining our gang for a week! About the food: everything has been absolutely incredible. The level of deliciousness was above and beyond our expectations! We truly enjoyed every meal. All the efforts spent in making every dish didn’t do unnoticed. Such complexity and variety! We are glad this was just a one week adventure or else we’d all walk out much heavier than when we boarded the boat ha!! The handmade shanghai noodles were incredible! Really meant a lot to me that we had such an amazing Chinese New Year night as requested. The conch ceviche was also mind-blowing! Thank you for all the food & snacks & drinks. Our favourite memories are snorkeling through a pod of over 50 dolphins – amazing! Watching the humpback whales play in the waves was incredible, so was exploring buck island and walking along the beach!

“What a pair! The onboard experience can’t be beat – food, sailing, adventures, cocktails, snorkeling, fishing, paddle boarding and the coziest (always freshly-made!) beds to cap off the day. Ben: his warm, personable demeanor is a bonus and compliments his exceptional captain skills. Always cool, calm and collected at the helm – we felt safe and really enjoyed all the sailing. Charlie: unbelievably gifted, talented, creative chef – unmatched in her culinary skills (and we know skills!) She has an equally lovely personality and boat skills. About the food: *** Ether and Charlie deserves 3 Michelin stars! An experience worth booking for the food! Shakshuka, baked red snapper, prosecco-poached shrimps in watermelon radish, avo eggs benedict, crab & carrot agnolotti, wahoo with parsnip purée, snow crab boil + countless painkillers and delicious cocktails. Our best memory is in Buck Island – floating around and snorkeling, paddling and beach paradise. We loved hitting 8 kts on the St-Croix to St-John sailing journey after seeing a sunrise together.
Kat & Blaise, Karen + Glenn, Janice + Sully”

“Benoit was absolutely fantastic, he knew the islands, made everyone feel part of a new family but also joined in so felt one of the gang. If I could personally request a skipper again I would have Ben in a heartbeat and wouldn’t think twice!”

“His professionalism on and off the boat was just awesome. He always made sure are sailing conditions were perfect. I had a hard time adjusting to walking the plank and each time I looked up he was there with open hands to help. Benoît should be the model of how a yacht week skipper should handle themselves for guest.”

“I have nothing but great things to say about our skipper Ben! Very professional and made sure we where safe. He made our holiday a great experience. Ben was very knowledgeable but the places we were going to visit. First class skipper a must request for our next YW holiday. ”
