Sol & Cian,

This was the best trip ever. We were treated like kings and queens and the food Cian prepared was absolutely superb. We appreciate all the planning that Sol did and hitting all of the highlights we had bookmarked before the trip. It was a first class trip all the way. Thanks so much!

Sol & Cian,

Thank you so very much for an absolutely awesome week. We loved every moment on teh boat. The food was so delicious and beautifully decorated. It is going to be hard to go back home to our boring meals.

You guys did such a fantastic job hosting us! Your kindness and caring was boundless! Thank you also for letting Ken be part of the sailing experience. I know he loved it and will be telling everyone at home how he helped sail the boat 🙂 You guys rock!!

We are so thankful that you were our crew and we sure hope to be back on one of your boats again one day soon.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

The trip was absolutely outstanding. The boat and crew were truly top-notch, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. If you’re ever looking for two people to sail with, these are definitely the guys.

They were incredibly accommodating, and the food was unbelievably good. Each meal somehow topped the previous one — every single one was outstanding. It honestly exceeded all expectations. I can send photos if you’d like.

Overall, it was a fantastic trip — 100%, five-star service all the way around. Great fun, beautiful boat, wonderful crew, and an unforgettable experience.

What a perfectly wonderful holiday! Solomon & Cian, you were absolutely wonderful! The combo of daily swimming, snorkeling, Cian’s incredible food, setting sail and taking in the beauty of the BVI’s under Solomon’s expert guidance truly made for one of our top holidays of all time – a bucket list item that will now be a repeat, hopefully, around the world!!

Truly, thank you so much for the best time, we will recommend you heartily to everyone we know!

What a glorious way to spend Thanksgiving!! And with our loved ones, including Solomon & Cian, they are now family.

Captain Sol & Chef Cian far exceeded all expectations! Their willingness to take us to the most special waters off the beaten path truly made for everlasting memories. They are so kind and professional.

Cian’s meeals can be considered works of art. It is said ‘first we feast with our eyes’, and we did, every day, all day!! The BVI waters are so inviting, every stop was another opportunity to swim, play, relax.

We were so surprised to just how large ‘Island Standard Time’ lived. Seven of us + the crew and we never felt cramped. A perfect boat for us. True luxury. Till we meet again (and we will), thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

We are grateful for this incredible week spent with Caydon and Tash! They took us back to some of our favorite places while introducing us to new ones. We loved the itinerary and every day was a great adventure.

Every meal Tash prepared was a culinary masterpiece! She even made fresh bread throughout the week and catered to our preferences. One of our favorites was a breakfast of freshly made bagels with lox – delicious! One of our shared favorite memories was when we had an opportunity to play pickleball at Peter Island Resort followed up with a beautiful hike. Tash had snacks and drinks ready for us when we got back which was the perfect welcoming for us. As we sit here on our last day in the BVI, we look back on fantastic memories made alongside two new friends. Many thanks to Caydon and Tash!!

What a wonderful week with Tash and Caydon! Such a fun, courteous and skilled crew. Joyfully helped us with anything we asked. Always felt safe with Caydon’s sailing skill and knowledge. And Tash and her food creations . . . all better than any restaurant in our hometown. Truly spoiled us daily with culinary treats and works of art beyond our expectations. Thank you both for a fun and memorable week.

Caydon & Tash – It is hard to articulate what an amazing week this was! I’m sure it’s hard to have a “bad” week in the BVI’s but I’m also certain you two are the reason we enjoyed ourselves so much! With Caydon in charge, we were able to relax & not worry about safety or being able to see the best of the islands. The one-liners kept us laughing! Perfect mix of interaction & privacy! The food… oh my! Tash’s meals made us regret that we did half board! She is so talented, and we can’t wait to buy her cookbook! Hope we didn’t stress you guys out too much! We are counting down the days until we can join you all again on your next adventure!

Wow what a wonderful week of sailing, snorkeling, incredible food, laughter and special islands to visit. The six of us couldn’t have asked for a more memorable holiday. Tash – please come home with us. We have never had such delicious meals. What will we do without you. Caydon – you are very masterful and knowledgeable about all things sailing island history. Where the best place is to go. Hopefully we will sail with you again.
