Best birthday celebration ever!!!

Broker Feedback:

The client had an absolutely lovely time. He rated the crew as an 11 and the boat as a 10.

As for my experience working with Ashley and the crew aboard Insieme, I could not be happier with their professionalism and attention to the details. This was a last-minute charter, and the process could not have been any smoother.
 

To the amazing crew that paid attention to every detail, Captain Pete, Cindy, Chef Jason and Evan:

Operating in your calling made this trip an unforgettable one for us. 7 days ago you 4 were strangers and as we disembark we are all leaving as friends.

Thanks to all of you for an amazing Bahamas family adventure. 

With much gratitude

Peter! 

We didn’t sign the guest book but if you’re willing to sign on our behalf (assuming we don’t when we grab our luggage)-

What an incredible time with Insieme and crew. The scenery and boat were only bested by the most gracious crew we have ever encountered. It was truly a dream week on board the Insieme. It was a scenic culinary dream come true! We can’t recommend this enough and hope to be back with this incredible vessel and crew one day.

Captain Pete, James, Alex + Jason

We began our trip with 7 family members and ended with 4 more! We can’t thank you enough for an unforgettable experience. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and such positive energy – we truly couldn’t imagine a better experience and it’s all thanks to you guys!!

Guest two:

Alex, James, Pete and Jason,

Thank You! Thank you for the most incredible memories. Words cannot describe how much fun and laughter we had. I will always remember the sandbar being silly, laughing hard and relaxing in the beauty of it, despite JD being a terrible host. 

James, thank you for that happy accident, it was truly a gift.

Jason, my clothes don’t fit anymore but I will forgive you for it. Everything you made was most
delicious and nothing I make will ever measure up to it.

Pete, please keep in touch! Lets not let another 10 years slip by without seeing you. Thank you
for making this vacation special. Please send all our love to Lea as
well. 

Alex – your kindness is unmatched! You really are the glue that kept/held
our quirky little tribe together. Congratulations on your engagement and I hope to see
pictures of your wedding. Thank you for all that you did for us.
I truly hope to see you all soon.

Guest Three:

OMG moment last night. Captain Peter was the 1st Matte with us back in 2016 for our charter on SKYE. That was our very 1st overnight charter for 3 nights. He was amazing then as Pete and even more impressive now as Captain Peter 🙂

Our charter has been perfect. Winds have been constant which impacts a few things, but I am relaxed and loving it. The connection to Pete is amazing a decade later and is truly incredible.

Amazing team on this yacht and Jason is right up there in the top 5 for sure.

Guest One:

To the crew – Jason, Alex, James + Pete
Words cannot describe how special you have all made our holiday. 

The places we have stopped per Pete’s suggestions turned out to be “perfect”. 

James kept up with the energy that all of our boys exuded every single day with tours and water toys. 

Alex welcomed us every morning with a soothing “good morning” and smile. Her cocktails always spot on. 

And Chef Jason’s cuisine was creative, delicious, and innovative. Sushi blew us away. And homemade challah + latkes to celebrate Shabbat + Hanukkah made our meals extra special. 

Thank you from all of us to you. Healthy + Happy 2026 to all of you. ♡

Guest Two:

CREW, what an unreal week it’s been. Thank you so much for the best hospitality and guiding us through the most beautiful place on Earth!!! 

My favorite parts of the trip were getting absolutely wasted with everyone during the bonfire and playing with the sea toys.

But of course, I have NEVER had such amazing gluten-free meals by Jason; they truly blew me away every time. Much love to all!!!! 🙂

Guest Three:

CREW – thank you for an awesome week. Every single day was incredible from the laughs to the adventures, and you made it all feel effortless. 

My favorite part had to be feeding the sharks off the lower deck at night – even if my hands smelled like fish for two days after. 

Truly an amazing trip and experience y’all give me as well as my family. Thank you for everything! 
♡♡ ☺

Guest Four:

Crew – thank you for an unforgettable week on the water! 

My five parts: 

Alex’s contagious energy and tasty drinks. 

James’s fun adventures & knowledge of the history and creatures of the islands. 

Pete’s expertise and making me laugh my ass off. 

Jason’s dank eats and mysteriously magical hair. 

Thank you all! ♡

Guest Five: 

INSIEME Crew – Pete, Jason, James & Alex:
This vacation goes into the X’s Family “BEST” ever. You can experience all the beauty the Exumas offers, but it’s the people (the crew) that makes your trip memorable + fun. 

All of us leave today with a piece of INSIEME to Texas + NJ. 

Special people you are + we will always remember each + everyone of you. Thank you for giving us a smile everyday + welcoming us into your home. ♡

The INSIEME Crew was beyond our wildest expectations. The hospitality, camaraderie, joy and fun made our trip memorable.

Guest Eight:

I was really looking forward to this week all year and without a doubt, it exceeded my expectations. 

So much activity, good food, good drinks, and relaxation, and of course, great company. The Y Clan will miss you all!!! ♡
 

Dear Captain Kris and Ashley,

I want to extend my personal thanks again to your entire crew for making the X family feel so at home aboard INSIEME and providing them with another stellar experience. I truly appreciate the attention to detail and have been giving great feedback about the yacht and your team to other brokers on my team and in the industry.

Here is some additional feedback Mr. X shared with me:

“For specific feedback, the crew was so accommodating and helpful with my mom. They went out of their way to include her in excursions and were great at getting her on and off the tender. They maneuvered off the swim platform several times, which was not easy for them. They checked every box you could imagine – Alex played card games with the girls, did a great job with welcome drinks every time we came back. Food was incredible and service impeccable! Although we have only met them a couple times, I consider them friends at this point and we cannot wait to see them again!

Guest One:

We are the luckiest to have been part of this for a week!

Amazing memories, crew and friends! ♥ We will miss y’all!

Dear Insieme Crew – The Best Crew Ever!

We cannot than you enough for this amazing trip around the Exumas! We had an absolute blast!
From the moment we stepped on board, you made everything effortless and magical. 

Des, you were always one step ahead of us, planning the best day trips – whether it was swimming with the sharks, feeding the pigs, snorkeling the reefs, or enjoying the pristine beaches – thank you for the adventures, your great stories and all the laughs!

James – thank you for bringing the best energy, keeping Ale and Vale entertained ALL DAY is no small feat. Thank you for bringing out all the toys everyday, for bringing the fun and for being the best photographer! We can’t wait to see the video! 

Alex, “Bella” you are amazing in so many ways. We enjoyed your beautiful tablescapes everyday – your delicious drinks that kept the good times flowing, the best New Year’s Eve party and helping Ale get the party started! Thank you for taking such good care of us and spoiling us all week!

Jason – you are the most incredible chef – every single meal was better than the last – Thank you for keeping us happy and our bellies full all week. We’ll be thinking of you next week as we try to get our asses back in shape!

Dear Des, James, Alex & Joel,

We cannot express enough how thankful we are to you for making Christmas 2024 so special. Des and James, the both of you made all of our activities fun and full of laughter. Alex you took such wonderful care of us, which isn’t easy! And Joel, the food was truly amazing, and will not be easy for me to lower everyone’s expectations on my cooking. 

Des and James, thank you for getting me on the wave runner and winning in cornhole. Alex, keep up with your card game, I hope you always end up as PRESIDENT! And Joel, I will now forever make my own cream of mushroom soup! You will be missed. We hope 2025 will be a blessed year for all of you and we will look forward seeing you again. 

Thank you for the memories, they are truly special.

P.S. Can’t wait to introduce all of you to new games in 2025! Give Meg a big hug from us. We will be thinking of her.

Thank you all for the best weekend ever! It was truly an unforgettable experience (except for Jake he might not remember anything)

Captain Dez, James, Alex, and Chef Gwen,

It was an impeccable and amazing experience! Every details, every preparation and preference attended to with enthusiasm and kindness. This team has the culture of excellence and treats the passengers and vessels with the personal sense of care. Exceptional well maintained yacht. James attended to every need or excursions and prepwork. Alex attended every need including keeping everything perfectly scheduled and executed. Captain Dez was a consummate professional and the owner is very fortunate to have this crew. We look forward to sailing with this team again soon! Cheers!!

Des, James, Alex, and Jason,

Our time with you on Insieme has been absolutely incredible. We’ve all noted the beauty of the boat and the wonderful amenities it offers, but the trip wouldn’t have been nearly as special without the four of you. Jason, your meals have been spectacular – so far ahead of any hope we had. James, you were so thoughtful and quick to ensure fun and comfort, capturing each memory for us so that we could really enjoy each moment of the trip. It was such a comfort to have you guiding us along the way. Alex, you are a gift! You anticipated every possible want or need and we loved getting to know you these last few days. Our trip wouldn’t be the same without you! Des, from our first call, the care and attention to detail was evident. You ensured that this trip would be the one for the record books – the perfect way for us to celebrate milestone birthdays! Thank you for sharing your “backyard” with us – there isn’t a better way to explore the Exumas! We can’t wait to be back on the Insieme with you again soon!

Dear Insieme Crew,

There are no words to thank you enough for what we can honestly say was the best family vacation we have had. Your kindness, hospitality, and energy will be deeply missed and we are so lucky to have discovered the beautiful Bahamas through your eyes. Alex, you are a true artist and we adored your beautiful cocktails and table settings. Jason, thank you for the spectacular meals and for fattening us all up, real good. James, your good vibes and cinematography skills are stellar and you will make a 10/10 captain someday. Des, thank you for being such an educational guide, patient captain, and for sharing your cheeky sense of humor. A true dream team!

Dear James and Alex,

Thank you so much for everything. Your chill and easygoing nature and desire for us to have fun always put a smile on my face. Marielle and I were so grateful for the tips and stories you gave about your travels in Thailand and the Philippines, we hope to have as much fun as you did!

James, thank you for the lovely video to remember this trip forever. Your constant energy and push for us to have fun was always a blessing.

Alex, your enthusiasm and creativity and willingness to try something new was amazing and I really appreciated it. You took such good care of us and we are really grateful. I felt as if I was in the comfort of my own home (or better!) under your care.

Keep doing what you do, never do Below Deck, and stay true to yourselves. I wish you both all the best and many more adventures together.

Dear Jason,

Thank you so much for always keeping us happy and full and for your easy-going and laid-back attitude. I never went to sleep hungry and always wished I wasn’t so full so I could taste another bite of your delicious cooking and baking. Thank you especially for being gracious enough to lend us your trusty skimboard. Noah and I thoroughly enjoyed using it and we were very grateful you came to us in our time of need to help Noah overcome the sadness of not having his own.

I wish you and your family all the best and hope you continue to make the most of the precious time you have together.

Des,

Thank you for showing all of us your second home and teaching us all the history and intricacies of the Bahamas. It was a joy learning and being guided by you. I always felt safe and cared for under your supervision and I will always cherish the memories from this trip. I wish you and Megan (Meghan) all the best.

P.S. Your kind hearted nature and respectfulness and easy-going attitude always made me feel at home. I truly enjoyed all the conversations and was very thankful for all the stories and wisdom you had to offer.

We traveled from California to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday on Insieme and we can truly say it was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment we stepped onto the deck, we were greeted by the warm hospitality of the exceptional crew. They made us feel like royalty. Whether it was indulging in gourmet meals prepared by the talented chef (Jason), embarking on exciting excursions to explore around the island, relaxing on deck with delicious drinks (thanks to Alex), every moment aboard was a testament to the crew’s dedication to excellence. James went above and beyond to give our kids the most incredible time spending time with them playing with every water toy imaginable. They will never forget this trip and non of it would come together so beautifully without our Captain Dez. He was so kind and knowledgeable and a truly professional leader. Each of the crew members played a vital role in creating a memorable experience for us and we can not thank you enough.

And to top it off the video at the end was the icing on the cake which make me cry! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The crew is truly what took our trip to the next level.

BTW Alex – we LOVED all your dinner themes and decorations. You set the mood perfectly each night.

We had a very nice time. The entire crew was very professional and pleasant. Thanks to Captain Des, Jason, Alex, and James. We enjoyed everything. Good luck guys.
