Another great trip with Mike and Lizzy! B really enjoyed the chance to be the third crew member so I can hope we can convince him to get on the plane this afternoon! T loved getting to jump off the Willy T and sail the Hobie cat with Mike. J&C H

My most favourite thing was jumping off the Willy T! TH

The beaches are the best! BH

This was my 10th trip to the BVI and 3rd trip with Mike and Lizzy – Love the BVI and Mike and Lizzy!! They are the consummate hosts! Food, snorkelling and relaxing was outstanding. Anegada was a highlight! CB

How can I put into mere words what has been an over-the-top sailing trip? I have done two previous sailing trips to the BVI, but this one was 300% better than the others. Mike and Lizzy you are the ultimate dream team. Mike’s expertise with sailing and acting as tour guide (especially on Anegada!) and Lizzy’s five star meals were absolutely fabulous. Thank you both many times over for a wonderful, memorable vacation. God bless! LK

From initial on board, everything couldn’t have been more excellent: Many thanks CP

My first time sailing! I was worried about being seasick and I shouldn’t have done so! What a fabulous experience. Mike and Lizzie really treated us like family. Mike was an outstanding captain and guide; Lizzy, a five star gourmet chef – she made magic happen in the small kitchen! Truly a trip of a lifetime – thank you so much BP

What a wonderful experience! Thank you Mike for your superior hospitality and exceptional bartending 😊 chefs kiss to Lizzy. I will be making many at home. Cheers to Lizzy and Mike, hopefully we will see you again soon! JF

Mike and Lizzy – thank you doesn’t seem enough to say- just WOW!! The sailing, meals and memories are simply priceless and beyond wonderful! P&J H

No words can describe this trip! We could not have had a better couple to spend time at sea with. Lizzy, the food was awesome and Mike, your drinks aren’t bad either! Mike thanks for such wonderful sailing. Your knowledge and expertise made our first sail amazing! RH

Mike and Lizzy – Gybe Ho! What a great experience for our first BVI trip (and won’t be the last!) The sailing, food and drink were all top shelf! Thanks for a great time. JH

Mike and Lizzy – thank you for creating the perfect conditions for our family to spend a wonderful week together.

The best week with the best crew – can’t wait to see you all soon! AG

Could any crew anticipate the need of an extended family more graciously? No!
Thank you for making dreams come true. It is not goodbye but see you soon! MG

Mike and Lizzy, thank you so much for everything this trip. I’ve had such a fun time playing Yahtzee, sea scootering, snorkeling and more y’all made this trip something I won’t forget. Thanks AKM

Thank you for an epic vacation! The sailing was amazing. Food, fun, water and sun. Thanks Lizzy for the yummy food. SP

Mike and Lizzy, After years of searching for a charter, you came highly recommended. I wanted to bring my family to the BVI because I had such a great experience sailing around the islands in 1993 when I was in 8th grade. You’ve given us more than a family trip. This will be a trip that ignites A lifelong love of exploring and travelling for all of us. I pray that it is also just the beginning of many new foods for the children! You both complement one another so well – making for an unforgettable experience for everyone. We have truly been spoiled by all the food, sailing and exploring. We’re ready to sail again! Love KP

Star gazing, Mabel tours, remote search and rescue, secret baby turtle spotting, baby goats, beach walks, bar pops, delicious lobster and even more delicious Lizzy creations, sun rashes, sea scooters, Tarpons, high seas, mangrove canoeing, snorkeling galore through rough currents and sprinkles, spilling all of our drinks, and feeling so loved and cared for the entire trip by the best crew we could have hoped for! A spring break never to forget and to do again so soon! Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! A,D,P & B G

Dear [Broker]

We are on our way home after an amazing week on Sandy Cinco. Thank you for all your help choosing the right yacht and crew. Mike and Lizzie did an incredible job and created the conditions for us to have exactly the vacation that we wanted with our family.

I would highly recommend Mike and Lizzie – they are very experienced and that translates into a very high-quality experience and an ability to avoid crowds and only experience the best anchorages and locations. The food was also excellent.

I hope that this feedback is helpful.

Thanks so much for helping me make a good choice of yacht and crew – as you know, it makes all the difference.

Best,
John

Dear Mike and Lizzy. We have had THE BEST honeymoon! This trip has been out of this world. The snorkelling. The Baths. The sailing. The beaches. The bars. It has literally been paradise; we have loved every second. You have been so generous and looked after us so well. Your food, drink and hospitality are second to none! I am definitely taking The Painkiller away as my new favourite drink! Love you both. GP

•How did you find your crew? Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating?
° Mike and Lizzy were welcoming and knowledgeable about the islands and history. They made it clear up front if we needed anything or had questions to just ask.

•Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your favorite aspect of the yacht?
° The yacht exceeded our expectations. The additional covered space on the top deck was great! It allowed everyone to spread out and added a lot of space to relax.

•Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the menu to your preferences?
° Lizzy was an amazing chef! She made sure that individual dietary needs were addressed and carefully distributed the dishes so everyone got what they requested.

•Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed?
° We didn’t have any real plans which put an extra burden on Mike. He had a clear plan each day and it worked for us

Thank you for your gracious hospitality. We really loved the flexibility and yet faith in daily schedule that led us, very relaxed, to our next destination. You condensed the highlights and offered each of us many adventures. The banter with our group kept us laughing. Lizzy, your presentation, display and execution of the cuisine was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! 7 days of indescribable adventure, beauty, hospitality and cuisine. So much fun – we will always remember, and hope to come back to share with our family. Thank you. J&T Y

Heading back to Nanny Cay from a wonderful 7-day excursion in the BVI with Captain Mike and Lizzy – one of the best of our lives and one we will never forget – Thank you. M&S H

We had the absolute best week with Mike and Lizzie on the Sandy Cinco.

We met via a zoom call a couple of weeks prior to our trip and knew immediately we were going to enjoy vacationing with them. They wanted to get to know each of us personally.
They are both very organized and take such pride in making sure the Sandy Cinco is in top condition. We immediately felt right at home. The boat is absolutely beautiful and we loved the personal touches like our color coded drink bottles, towels, and snorkel equipment.

Every meal Lizzie prepared for us looked amazing and tasted even better. It was so nice not to ever think about a meal, but they just appeared and we enjoyed them with our family on the back of this beautiful boat.

Mike made sure our days were filled with a variety of things from sailing, to exploring, to snorkeling, to bar hoping or just relaxing! Everyday was different and so much fun. They both went over and above to make sure all 6 of us were happy at all times. We did a lot, but felt like we had lots of time to just relax as well. Perfect combination for our family!

This will be a week that we will never forget and will treasure forever!

Mike and Lizzy, Thank you for planning, preparing and guiding us through a trip we will never forget. Your little touches make a big difference. Love S & M McC

Thank you so much Mike and Lizzy, We had a blast and look forward to seeing you all again. MM & EC

Mike and Lizzy Thank you so much for an amazing week. We have made memories together that will last for a lifetime. The beautiful islands, yummy food and excellent hospitality have filled our hearts. M&K McC

Mike and Lizzy – this has been a trip of a lifetime!! Thank you for making it so special. You are both so thoughtful and accommodating – we couldn’t imagine having a better crew. Can’t wait to plan another trip on Sandy Cinco. Love, M&C B

Best trip ever!!! Our time on the Sandy Cinco with Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy exceeded our expectations. You answered so many questions [101] and were fabulous hosts. Thank you for finding us fun hikes, serving us gorgeous and tasty food and drinks, and accommodating all our asks and needs. We hope to return! Thank you! R&E M

Mike and Lizzy, we can’t thank you enough for the amazing week. The hospitality, laughs and amazing food made this one of the most memorable vacations ever! Your knowledge of the islands is impeccable, and we enjoyed every single location. Thanks a million! With love J&J D

To Mike and Lizzy – one last toast as we sadly say goodbye for a second year in a row. What a perfect trip, all thanks to you two. From the sails to the snorkeling, the scenery, the turtles, the games, and of course THE FOOD: Lizzy outdid herself. One thing I have learned from these two trips is that the true joy and beauty of sailing is in the journey, and we couldn’t ask for better guides. Until the next time. MK

The second year in a row of paradise! We are beyond thankful for Mike & Lizzy EC

Just the best !! Thank you for making this week unforgettable!! LB

Absolutely amazing – Mike and Lizzy truly make the sailing experience world class. SC

Thank you, Mike and Lizzy, for another unforgettable voyage! I will be dreaming of this trip for a long time. Hopefully not TOO long because we must come back soon! You guys are the best. A million thankyous. SB

This was our second voyage with Mike and Lizzy, and it was even better than our first one, which didn’t seem possible because the first was perfect. Mike and Lizzy are impeccable hosts. They seem to know every inch of the BVI, and that knowledge translates to wonderful days, day after day, in new spots and familiar spots. Mike is a superb sailor and guide, as well as an excellent bartender. Lizzy is an absolutely amazing chef. There cannot be a better team in the Caribbean or for that matter anywhere else! We look forward to many more sailing trips with them. DB

Mike and Lizzy and Sandy Cinco are 100% perfect. Best vacation. BC

Mike and Lizzy, what a joy to spend another holiday with you both. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality and for sharing the spirit of this wonderful place with us. Until next time! EM

Best vacation ever! KS

Can’t express the fun paired with the professionalism you both brought to our trip. You went above and beyond curating an unforgettable experience. How did you bribe that Barracuda to show up on cue?

Mike and Lizzy, Thank you so much for everything. We have had a fantastic time – truly the trip of a lifetime! SS

Mike and Lizzy, We had a grand time on our charter this week. Some say that true hospitality is making your guests feel at home – Your hospitality and company are unmatched and made this trip all the more lovely. You are truly hospitable in every sense of the word, and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your warmth, grace, and friendship this week. We will miss this daily until we have the good fortune to come back and spend some more time with you! CL

There are no words to describe our experience we had on the Sandy Cinco. Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy are such amazing souls and we connected immediately. The memories we made from sailing, snorkelling, eating gourmet meals and everything in between was nothing short of a blessing. The thoughtful details in every simple trip, meal, conversation were truly out of this world. This trip is a must for everyone! Thanks also to our hosts for this incredible experience. We are truly blessed to have met each of you. Much love PDG
We were welcomed aboard by the happy, smiling faces of Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy – just their normal, everyday nature! It’s glorious! We were treated to the best scrambled eggs on the planet, and the best hamburgers – Lizzy rocks!! I don’t think there’s anything Mike and Lizzy don’t know! Great teachers! I learned so much from Mike about sailing. Lizzy showed off her knot tying skills teaching the kids! The Baths was amazing! BG

Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy, your kind nature, calm demeanour, incredible patience and amazing ability to educate as you hosted, entertained and fed us, was incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. MG & MM

Dear Mike and Lizzy, from the moment we stepped on the boat, everything was AMAZING! The locations you took us to, the food, the entire experience has been incredible. Trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much. CBG, SG, AG, MR & AM

Your hugs and smiles upon greeting us at the airport made us both feel we were home again and amongst family. We think of our get togethers as much more than mere vacations. We love spending time with you giggling, learning and relaxing – especially while in these beautiful spots in the world. Thank you for a happy and fulfilling eleven days. Already counting when we can plan our next return! D & JW

Thank you for an incredible week of sailing! It was an amazing week filled with wonderful food and laughs! SF

Definitely the coolest and most fun trip of a lifetime. Hope to see you both in the future for another trip! AT

We are so grateful for Mike and Lizzy making this such an incredible trip in our favourite place. Thank you for making it so spectacular! CFC & KC

What an amazing charter, you gave our family many new memories in these beautiful islands. It was stress free and there was amazing food! TF

Your knowledge, experience and impeccable meals made our time together so relaxing, not one moment of stress, unlike our normal lives. This paragraph is not enough to express our gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Fondly JF

Everything is 5-stars. Mike and Lizzy were so nice and always wanted us to have the best time. SL

Good trip – great snorkelling – Mike and Lizzy are always hard at work. PL

Thank you for the trip. My experience was amazing – y’all are so polite and fun! BL

Much gratitude for leading the snorkeling when I was afraid! Lizzy you’re an amazing cook! God Bless TL

Thank you so much for our stay! I loved all of the meals and the places to snorkel. You made our trip very fun and exciting. THANK YOU!! LB

Thankyou Mike and Lizzy for a wonderfully relaxing time on board the Sandy Cinco. Many wonderful memories of beautiful sunsets and delicious food. Thank you for looking after us so well. RB

What a wonderful experience we have had – we will miss being on board. Thank you for taking such good care of us. CB

Thank you so much for taking us on such an amazing trip! You always knew how to make the most of our time, and I wish we could have stayed for longer. (Also, the food was delicious – especially the sausages!) GB

Thank you, Mike and Lizzy, for an amazing family vacation! Seeing dolphin while sailing, swimming with a nurse shark, viewing turtles popping their heads out of the water – all was incredible. C&J H

There was good food! TH age 7

I love the pancakes! BH age 5

Thank you, Mike and Lizzy. You are the consummate hosts! A special thankyou for making this such a great time for my grandsons. CB

Lizzy was/is warm, friendly and very hospitable. Her selection of meals and cooking were outstanding (we knew this from our last charter). She especially went out of her way with Brandon as he got interested in helping with the anchors and lines. She also was great at trying to satisfy the boys (Tyler – 7 and Brandon – 5) with food that they would eat. Tyler is very difficult and Lizzy always kept a smile on. Lizzy is a very pleasant person to be around and always trying to please.
Mike is a confident, competent and professional captain – just what you want on a charter. His take charge personality was especially evident when my son-in-law got injured and Mike made sure he got the care he needed. Mike was always checking to be sure we were doing/going where we wanted to go. If a change was necessary, Mike would discuss and offer options as well as his opinion. As a former, many time bare boat charterer, having Mike take care of everything made the trip so much more enjoyable. I will admit that Mike can be a little grumpy in the morning before he has had his coffee but I suspect I am as well. Despite, sometimes being stern with the boys (when required), Mike was wonderful a couple of times getting Tyler out of a funk and getting him to enjoy himself (as stated earlier – Tyler can be a challenge).
They both became part of the family but were never intrusive and made the trip most enjoyable.

Thank you for the most wonderful week of Spring Break. This was the third trip with Mike and Lizzy and the most memorable yet! The slide show at the Bills Bar ‘Tipsy’ on Anegada will live on forever! I’ll miss you desperately!! CC

Easily one of my favourite birthdays ever 😊 My most memorable snorkel (aeroplane) and most memorable pirate show (oh boy!) I absolutely cannot wait to come back & I’ll be sure to bring a friend! AG

Mike and Lizzy once again have outdone themselves! One of my favourite things was snorkelling through a cave. Not too far behind that is tubing and just chilling. Once again, Mike and Lizzy have made our trip awesome. AG

It keeps getting better & better, but that seems impossible! Many thanks and hugs for a wonderful week in the BVI – this magical mystery tour was indeed magical!! Such wonderful memories from this week – the food, the fun, the sunsets, the snorkels. Can’t wait until next time! S&I G

Amazing time spent with Mike and Lizzy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, company, food and snorkelling. Looking forward to the next! K&P C

Amazing week. Mike and Lizzy are absolute professionals in all they do. Mike took us to an endless number of snorkelling spots and ensured our comfort and fun throughout. Lizzy was an amazing chef and a sweet, kind person. I can’t wait until next time! SS

This trip was a dream come true! You spoiled us Mike and Lizzy! What a fabulous week – the entertainment, the knowledge, the fun and the food. All the details!! We had an amazing trip: ***** RM

Mike & Lizzy are the best! P&P C

Thank you, Mike and Lizzy, for a wonderful experience. We enjoyed every minute of every day. Each day bought something new and exciting. Your knowledge of the area was fascinating to hear and learn. Mike was an excellent captain and Lizzy was a 5-Star chef. It was perfect in every way. The memories we go home with will last a lifetime. Your hospitality was generous and engaging and getting to know you guys was one of the best parts of this fabulous cruise. K&J C
PS The French 75s rocked 😊

We just love being us! Best vacation of our lives by far. Everything about it exceeded our expectations. Mike and Lizzy, you gave us experiences that we will never forget! J&J W

This is our second cruise with Mike and Lizzy – the first was on Lady Fiona – we quickly realised that the boat is just the building point for the luxury experience they curate. Their attention to detail extends from the hand-picked bedding and towels to providing a wonderful sound system for all to share. Sandy Cinco is a beautiful, new to charter boat that their expertise has transformed into a beautiful, entertaining experience. Their expertise, even with the behind-the-scenes preparation, is what makes the vacation beyond expectations! Thank you – D & L E

5 star food, 5 star drinks, 5 star fun! This crew, with this boat (and this group of friends) has created a trip of a lifetime. Mike & Lizzy, Thank you for giving us your all. The memories generated over 7 days will live with us larger than life. We feel like family thanks to you. Unbelievable experiences just pop up from every opportunity. Cheers to “Sandy Drinco” and the best crew on the water. D&L O’L

Having been on many charters, it’s good to be able to say that this is the best of them all! Mike and Lizzy are the best hosts/counsellors – telling us the daily play that could change due to weather or our desires. We can’t imagine a better crew who seemed to sense our every desire. We loved it all – stem to stern, morning ‘til the stars dazzled us: The trip of a lifetime. SL & BM

Dear Mike and Lizzy. Thank you for the absolutely magnificent sailing adventure. You gave us all an experience we’ll always remember. It was filled with moments of fun, lively moments, fresh sea air, beautiful sights, delicious food and thrilling events. You are extraordinary hosts who have made this trip extraordinary. With warmth and appreciation, DB

You said “Think of this as your home for the next week,” And you meant it!! Thanks, LB

Lizzy & Mike, I fell in love with the Caribbean once again, but I’m already plotting our next sail with you… the BEST crew in the BVI…should I cry upon departure? Yes! And I will be back. Thank you CL

Lizzy & Captain Mike, I’m as happy as Larry! Thank you. Be well. DF

We’ve been here a number of times and we thought we knew everything. But this voyage was on a new, and wonderful, level – the perfect itinerary, the amazing meals, the warmth and knowledge Mike and Lizzy bring to every hour of every day – thanks so much for a wonderful, wonderful week. DB

Mike and Lizzy, I truly have no words for how meaningful this trip has been for us. You guys made it so spectacularly fun and easy – we are SO grateful! We will be talking about this trip FOREVER. No exaggeration. We loved every minute. Last night we went over our favourite parts and we couldn’t even choose! So many memories. We will miss you both! But I have a feeling this isn’t the last you’ll be seeing of us 😊 XOXO SB

Thank you, Mike and Lizzy – we had the best, most magical week aboard the Sandy Cinco! SC

WE LOVE SANDY CINCO!! Seriously wonderful – beyond expectations. EC & LB

Mike and Lizzy, this was our first time sailing and it was beyond perfect. The boat, locations and food and drink exceeded everyone’s expectations! We can’t thank you enough. B&S C

Dear Mike and Lizzy – Words cannot express how absolutely magical this sailing vacation was… the perfect itinerary, the delicious meals (every single one of them), the attention to detail… down to the journey map to remind us of all the stunning places we visited, and the hospitality from the morning we boarded to the morning we disembarked. I was lamenting the end of our trip and Sophie shared this quote: ‘Don’t cry because its over, smile because it happened!’ A million thankyous from us all. MB

An unforgettable week aboard Sandy Cinco! The boat was amazing and Mike and Lizzy were perfect! Thank you so much for giving our family the perfect week to gather and reconnect. We will be back! Happy New Year. LC

Best Christmas and best holiday ever! Mike took us to all the best spots and Lizzy fed us like Royalty – we can’t wait to be back on Sandy Cinco! CC

Best Christmas ever! Loved every second of being on Sandy Cinco. This is a holiday I will never forget and will have these amazing memories for ever! Thanks a million! CC

I have received back some absolutely wonderful words from the Clark family and am so happy to pass this along:

“We had an unforgettable week. The boat was perfect for us and Mike and Lizzy were just fantastic. We can’t imagine a better vacation. It was our best yet.” -Catherine

“We’re still talking about how great the trip was! I have no complaints other than we can’t come back right away!
[…]
The boat was great and fit our needs perfectly. The full Bimini up top is a great upgrade.

I really can’t say enough good things about Mike and Lizzy. We’ve done other trips and they were far and away the best crew we’ve had. Meals were great, the right amount of interaction, and activities/anchorages that were unique and out of the way that demonstrated greater effort and care. They handled our specific family needs perfectly. We’d follow them to another boat!” – Lloyd

I cannot thank you both enough for the effort; I certainly look forward to booking with you again!

This was our third trip as a family with Mike and Lizzy and they continue to amaze us with their knowledge of the BVI and of course Lizzy’s fabulous meals. We can’t wait until our next adventure! WS

Miss Lizzy, Thank you for cooking yummy meals for us! My favourite was the Thanksgiving dinner. Captain Mike, thank you for sailing us to different islands every day. My favourite island is now Anna Gardner! MS age 10

I like seeing the Sea Turtles! BS age 8

You exceeded our expectations as always. Thank you for the tremendous care you give to the boat and your guests. You both are the best. AS

We came with no expectations, so everything has been a new experience for us. Whether snorkeling the amazing reefs, seeing fish so colourful and the turquoise blue water. The boat and accommodations are luxurious and first class. Always a place for relaxing or even playing games if it is inclement weather. Then there is the food – wow! Better than any five-star restaurant! Mike and Lizzy made sure we had delightful fun and memories we won’t forget. CR & TR

BVI 23rd -29th June 2023 “The most magical few days.”

The most magical few days. From snorkeling in calm, amazingly blue waters to climbing over rocks and through caves at The Baths, Mike and Lizzy are the best hosts. Lizzy’s food was beautifully presented and tasted even better. Mike stories and directions were spot on! Even the rain did not dampen our trip. Thanks for a lovely holiday! TS

A once in a lifetime trip! Everything about the trip was amazing! The food was spectacular: every single meal was new and so delicious. I ate too much because I couldn’t stop eating the food Lizzy prepared. Mike did a spot-on job of keeping us away from crowds, finding the best snorkeling spots and setting us up for stunning sunsets. I cannot recommend Mike and Lizzy and the Sandy Cinco enough. The service was perfect, and they know how to give the best BVI experience. We can’t wait to come back! J&T S

Celebrating Kate’s birthday on the boat on the boat was special! Lizzy and Mike made sure the day was a memory not to be forgotten. Thanks for the decorations and the birthday cheesecake: Wow!!! KS

What a holiday! Wonderful locations! Thank you so much for your generosity and enthusiasm. I’ve had a fabulous time and enjoyed it all with wonderful company. Thank you! JH

What more is there to say? Ditto! DGH

There are no words to describe our experience we had on the Sandy Cinco. Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy are such amazing souls and we connected immediately. The memories we made from sailing, snorkelling, eating gourmet meals and everything in between was nothing short of a blessing. The thoughtful details in every simple trip, meal, conversation were truly out of this world. This trip is a must for everyone! Thanks also to our hosts for this incredible experience. We are truly blessed to have met each of you. Much love PDG
We were welcomed aboard by the happy, smiling faces of Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy – just their normal, everyday nature! It’s glorious! We were treated to the best scrambled eggs on the planet, and the best hamburgers – Lizzy rocks!! I don’t think there’s anything Mike and Lizzy don’t know! Great teachers! I learned so much from Mike about sailing. Lizzy showed off her knot tying skills teaching the kids! The Baths was amazing! BG

Mike and Lizzy, what a joy to spend another holiday with you both. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality and for sharing the spirit of this wonderful place with us. Until next time! EM

Cheers to a memorable time and for making the entire trip exciting, educational & kind. All the best to you. AG

Thank you for finding a way to make it even better than last time! Merry Christmas. JM

Friends and memories will be treasured always! Best seas and kind winds. J & LM

Mike and Lizzy, we have spent 2 of our best Christmases with you and we think of you as family. Love you both. Happy New Year. LM

Another unforgettable trip in paradise! Thank you for making this trip a core memory for our family – you are both wonderful and you make this boat feel like home. We love you! VM & ZT

To Mike and Lizzy – one last toast as we sadly say goodbye for a second year in a row. What a perfect trip, all thanks to you two. From the sails to the snorkeling, the scenery, the turtles, the games, and of course THE FOOD: Lizzy outdid herself. One thing I have learned from these two trips is that the true joy and beauty of sailing is in the journey, and we couldn’t ask for better guides. Until the next time. MK

The second year in a row of paradise! We are beyond thankful for Mike & Lizzy EC

Just the best !! Thank you for making this week unforgettable!! LB

Absolutely amazing – Mike and Lizzy truly make the sailing experience world-class. SC

Thank you, Mike and Lizzy, for another unforgettable voyage! I will be dreaming of this trip for a long time. Hopefully not TOO long because we must come back soon! You guys are the best. A million thankyous. SB

This was our second voyage with Mike and Lizzy, and it was even better than our first one, which didn’t seem possible because the first was perfect. Mike and Lizzy are impeccable hosts. They seem to know every inch of the BVI, and that knowledge translates to wonderful days, day after day, in new spots and familiar spots. Mike is a superb sailor and guide, as well as an excellent bartender. Lizzy is an absolutely amazing chef. There cannot be a better team in the Caribbean or for that matter anywhere else! We look forward to many more sailing trips with them. DB

Mike and Lizzy and Sandy Cinco 100% perfect. Best vacation. BC

Star gazing, Mabel tours, remote search and rescue, secret baby turtle spotting, baby goats, beach walks, bar pops, delicious lobster and even more delicious Lizzy creations, sun rashes, sea scooters, Tarpons, high seas, mangrove canoeing, snorkelling galore through rough currents and sprinkles, spilling all of our drinks, and feeling so loved and cared for the entire trip by the best crew we could have hoped for! A spring break never to forget and to do again so soon! Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! A,D,P & B G

Mike and Lizzy, I can’t tell you all how much I appreciated this trip and everything you did for us. I’m so grateful for everything you all did as this will be a trip I remember for a lifetime. MM

Mike and Lizzy, thank you so much for everything this trip. I’ve had such a fun time playing Yahtzee, sea scootering, snorkeling and more y’all made this trip something I won’t forget. Thanks AKM

Thank you for an epic vacation! The sailing was amazing. Food, fun, water and sun. Thanks Lizzy for the yummy food. SP

Mike and Lizzy, After years of searching for a charter, you came highly recommended. I wanted to bring my family to the BVI because I had such a great experience sailing around the islands in 1993 when I was in 8th grade. You’ve given us more than a family trip. This will be a trip that ignites A lifelong love of exploring and travelling for all of us. I pray that it is also just the beginning of many new foods for the children! You both complement one another so well – making for an unforgettable experience for everyone. We have truly been spoiled by all the food, sailing and exploring. We’re ready to sail again! Love KP
