Where can we put a 6th star? I honestly cannot say enough good things about our trip on board the Karzy Kat. We had the best time, it was fantastic! Truly the trip of a lifetime. Our friends say I have set the bar very high with this one!
The catamaran itself was fabulous – clean, well maintained and very spacious. For having 10 people on it, you never felt cramped or crowded. In the evenings we would all sit up on the fly bridge and there was plenty of room for everyone – a great place to gather and talk about what a fun day we had. They had provisioned Krazy Kat really well and the entire experience was just what I wanted it to be – very, very happy with that selection. The A/C worked great too!
Goran and Alex – LOVED them. Their teamwork is like a well choreographed dance and it’s obvious they actually like and respect each other. Nothing either one of them wouldn’t do for us, if we asked or even before we could ask! It was a pleasure to have them with us for this trip. Loved talking to them and getting to know a little bit about where they came from and how they ended up in the BVI’s. We’d go again tomorrow if we could.
Goran was an excellent captain, focused & conscientious. Fun & funny too! Every day he’d study the weather patterns to ensure our next days sail would be safe and comfortable. He also went out of his way to get us to the Baths when the seas & cruise ship schedule weren’t that favorable by docking later in the day in Spanish Town, arranging transportation to the park and then guiding us through the Baths – it was unexpected and quite wonderful to have his knowledge and guidance on this adventure. We had them come with us at several stops and I think we all had a blast! And we didn’t just motor everywhere, they hoisted the sails and we got to experience that special quietness as well, nothing like it. Every stop and/or overnight spot was awesome – we were in quiet, calm bays, with just a few ‘neighbors’ where we could swim, float or just stare at the stars. It wasn’t just A-B-C-D, check, check, check – It was a thoughtful itinerary developed by Alex & Goran to immerse us in this little corner of paradise, and it worked. He was also a great room steward!
Alex, man that girl can cook! Not a bad meal, snack or cocktail the entire trip. She took our preference sheet to heart and fed us spectacularly at every seating. Every meal also included a vegetarian option as well, very much appreciated (and gobbled up) by all. She made so many things from scratch – sourdough bread, hamburger buns & pasta, to name a few – it was incredible! She spoiled us with all the seafood we could eat plus favorites from hers & Goran’s family traditions & customs, it was very special. She has the work ethic of a person twice her age & a ‘nothing is too much’ attitude. She is refreshing and amazing. Damn good sailor too!
Of course, sailing with us was just as spectacular for them I am sure – LOL! We appreciated that they played along with some of our shenanigans too – eye patches & a monkey – you know the usual! None of us will ever forget this trip –
