We just returned from an incredible week aboard Breathe with Captain Jason and Sydney in the BVI, and I felt it was important to share just how exceptional these two are. We’ve been on many cruises with different crew, but Jason and Sydney stand far above the rest; they are simply second to none.
Their professionalism, maturity, and attention to every detail were unmatched. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone on board had an amazing time. Even with some unpredictable weather, they navigated perfectly and found the ideal balance between adventure, comfort, and relaxation. Every stop was incredible, and every day felt effortless under their care.
Jason and Sydney represent the very best of what the industry offers, and they made this our most enjoyable charter yet. We’re already booked to return to the BVI and assume they will be our crew again.

Thanks,

Christian

Jason & Sydney
Wow. I am so very grateful that we met. Thankful for your hospitality and to the chance to learn from you. Thank you for all you both did for us all. It was an honour to be part of the journey. Sydney, I will take with me your stories from south Africa, dogs and beer bread! Jason, I will take with me your ability to show me the freedom behind sailing and the power behind a pitcher of frozen cocktails.
With love and gratitude
Nicole

Jason & Sydney
You’re marvelous!
It took 10 of these sails to find a captain and 1st mate that were as great as you two! You guys smashed expectations and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a better holiday. Thank you both so much for a wonderful week in the BVIs.
Best
Kairen

Jason & Sydney
Thank you both for an amazing week! I have waited 9 years to get back to the BVIs and it did NOT disappoint. Every meal was exceptional and everyday was perfect. I meant it when I said you guys have been my favourite Captain and 1st Mate! Thank you again for everything, and I hope I get to sail with you guys in the future again!
Wishing you both all the best!
Jenny

Jason & Sydney
You have our gratitude, and appreciation for all you did for us this week. You two are truly the best at what you do. Until we meet again.
Smooth seas and following winds!
Chrissy and Jeff

Dear Jason and Sydney
You both have been amazing this week! Ive enjoyed your company, your friendship, my sailing lessons, and many great conversations and wonderful meals! I wish you both the very best and hope we can cross paths again in the near future!
Thank you for everything.

Jason & Sydney
Thank you for an amazing week. Sydney the food was delicious and SO beautifully prepared. Jason you are just fantastic, wonderful navigation and excellent cocktails!
I so appreciate you two

There are vacations… and then there are experiences that completely change you as a person. What we experienced with Hazel and Yaya was not simply a charter, a getaway, or even a luxury trip. It was one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences of our lives, and I truly believe a piece of our hearts will always remain on that boat with them.

From the moment we stepped onboard, Hazel had this incredible presence about him. Calm, confident, genuine, thoughtful—someone who instantly makes you feel safe, taken care of, and completely at ease. What amazed us most about Hazel was how effortlessly he made every single day feel perfectly tailored to us. He somehow knew exactly when we wanted adventure, when we wanted to relax, when we wanted to explore, when we wanted quiet moments together, and when we wanted to laugh until our stomachs hurt. Exploring the islands with Hazel leading the way felt like seeing the world through the eyes of someone who truly loves what he does. Every route, every stop, every experience felt intentional. He didn’t just captain a yacht—Hazel created memories that will stay with us forever.

And then there is Yaya…

I genuinely don’t know if words can do Yaya justice.

I can say, without a single ounce of exaggeration, that Yaya prepared the best food I have ever had in my entire life. Not “best food on a boat.” Not “best vacation food.” The best food… period. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—every single meal somehow topped the last. We would finish a meal and think, there’s no way it gets better than this… and then somehow Yaya would do it again.

But what made Yaya so special wasn’t just her talent in the kitchen—it was the love behind everything she created. You could feel it in every bite. Every plate felt thoughtful, personal, beautiful, and unforgettable. She completely changed how I think about food. She reminded me that food is not just something you eat—it’s something that brings people together, creates emotion, and tells a story. And Yaya told one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever experienced.

The yacht itself was absolutely incredible. There were five of us—my mother, my mother-in-law, my husband, my best friend, and myself—and somehow it felt like we had endless space. Everyone had room to relax, recharge, connect, and have their own moments while still sharing this unbelievable experience together.

But if I’m being honest… the yacht, the islands, the views, the luxury—all of that was only part of what made this so extraordinary.

The real magic was Hazel and Yaya.

Somewhere during this trip, they stopped feeling like crew and started feeling like family. Saying goodbye to Hazel and Yaya at the end was genuinely emotional. There were tears. There were hugs. And there was this overwhelming feeling that something incredibly special had just happened to all of us.

There is truly no dollar amount in this world that can buy the kind of memories, connection, growth, and perspective that Hazel and Yaya gave our family. This wasn’t just a vacation. This was life changing.

This trip changed how I see the world. It changed how I value time with the people I love. It changed how I think about food, adventure, and being present in the moment.

And the hardest part of all… was leaving Hazel and Yaya.

We are all heartbroken that it’s over, but one thing is certain…

We will be back for Hazel and Yaya. And until then, we’ll be talking about this experience for the rest of our lives.

Yah Yah & Hazel

We all had such an amazing time! The cooking meals were a “10!!”. We hope to have another adventure with you both in the future. Thank you, thank you.

Marleigh

Yah Yah & Hazel,

Thank you so much for everything. Your attention to detail elevated the trip from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY!!! We really could not have hoped for a better team to guide us on this journey.

We hope this is just the beginning of many trips together and hope to see you very soon. We miss you already!!!

Jackie and Max

Hazel & Yah Yah,

Bucket list trip! Thank you for making it truly incredible in every way!

Amazing food, awesome company and beautiful views. Hope to see you both in 2028!

Yah Yah & Hazel,

Thank you for making this trip incredible! Trip of a lifetime. Thanks to you. Incredible food, amazing drinks, and getting us to see every sight worth seeing in BVI!

You two are something special and have an amazing future ahead of you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
-Nikki & John

Yah Yah & Hazel,

What an incredible week on Scuba Doo! We cannot thank you both enough for the hospitality and the fun. From the delicious food to amazing cocktails (frozen spiked lemonade!) to everything in between.

We will miss you but expect to be back very soon
-Becker and Allie

Dear Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you so much for the most amazing week in the BVI’s. Our family had the BEST time! We would love to host you if you ever come to New Orleans!

The food was amazing!! We can’t wait to buy your cookbook — we will still lick the plates. Thank you so much for carefully curating our itinerary and getting us to all the best spots!!

Being on ScubaDoo was the perfect way to usher in the New Year. I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us if this is how it starts.

Hazel was so patient with us while scuba diving and so kind to pull everyone in on the dinghy.

We so appreciate your amazing hospitality and all your kindness

Lots of love,

Julie, Lance, Jake, Caitlin & Charlotte

You guys made this ship feel like home, and I couldn’t have imagined a better crew!! Y’all are the best bartenders, DJs, divemasters, guides, and multitaskers.

Caitlin

This trip was truly unforgettable thanks to you guys — you’re truly so kind and multi-talented! I hope we get together again someday.

— Luke

Thank you so much for your incredible kindness, talent, and dedication. It made this week truly unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience for my family.

— Lance

Yah Yah,
Huge thanks for an unforgettable week on ScubaDoo! We’re still drooling about the insanely creative and delicious dishes, as well as those next-level tablescapes (seriously Hazel, how did you do it?!).

The food wasn’t just meals — it was part of the adventure. Extra thanks for listening to all of Dad’s stories to keep him entertained… and all of us fat and happy!!

To Hazel, we greatly appreciate your determination for finding us the perfect spots, best adventures, coolest bartender, dinghy tubing, and wakeboarding master. You are a great captain and we appreciate you allowing the guys to help and keeping Danzi entertained.

AND let’s not forget the amazing tablescapes… honestly overachieving in the best way possible!

The Goessweins

Hazel & Yah Yah,

Words cannot describe what an amazing trip this was on the ScubaDoo with the both of you. Every day was special because of you. We will always cherish Anegada.

Thank you for joining our family and putting such love and thoughtfulness into every meal, drink, place setting, love — and most of all that natural loving energy that comes from you both.

We know we are an “interesting bunch”. Thanks for accepting that and going with it. Especially Michael — he will miss the bed ferries, food, sails, beautiful views.

But when we talk about this trip, meeting the two of you will be the number one hardest thing to walk away from.

We will be back and already planning on the next ScubaDoo adventure. Hopefully we see y’all before then.

So much love

Lauren, Kim, Jennifer, Will, Sabrina & Michael

P.S. Hazel’s neutral current really is incredible!

Hazel and YaYa were fantastic. Hazel’s skippering ability, combined with the boats equipment, let us do more things than I have done previously. He also accompanied us on land tours (the Baths) and gave us a personal tour. YaYa is a great chef/host. Her cooking is amazing – the best I’ve ever had on a charter like this. Her passion and talent for cooking really came through. Hazel and YaYa were equally good making drinks. They have a lot of energy and really interacted with my family. We had a lot of fun with them!
-The Scocos Family

Yah Yah & Hazel,

This trip didn’t disappoint! You two were a delight. Hazel, the care you took of us was beyond – you vanished my dive anxiety by your calm and peacefulness.

Yah Yah, the food was 5-star. Your catering is to feed people! Your love of food shines through.

Please look us up when you’re in Los Angeles – we would love to see you.

Thanks again!

– Bill & Kathy

I don’t have the words to express how wonderful and amazing this trip was. You both go above and beyond all!

Hazel, thanks for ‘babysitting’ me on our dives – I would have missed out on so much.

Yah Yah, the food was incredible – over-the-top wonderful!

The bartender did a spectacular job as well!

We thank you for a personal experience. And… we hope to see you again soon!

– Paul & Mary

Dear Yah Yah & Hazel,

We want to thank you both so much for all of your hard work. Your combined experience, thoughtfulness, and dedication ensured we had an incredible vacation.

From the exceptional food and drinks you prepared, the stunning snorkel excursions, and beautiful beach walks – everything allowed us to have an incredible vacation that surpassed all expectations.

Thank you, so much!

Love, your Toronto friends.

– Lisa & Barry

Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you so much for everything you did for our family. I could never have imagined the care you took of all of us.

All the food was amazing, the drinks were wonderful, the views you brought us to were unbeatable!

We will always remember this trip and the two of you.

We hope to see you again next year.

– Emily & Joe

Yah Yah & Hazel,

What an amazing experience! The food was outstanding. This is just what I needed to de-stress.

You both were so wonderful – easygoing, and we felt so safe.

When we are back in flat Kansas, we will think back to this trip and smile.

Thank you!

– Gretchen & Terry

P.S. So excited to order my new coffee maker!!!

Libby & Tim

We had a wonderful, relaxing week. Hazel and Yah Yah went out of their way to make it the trip we hoped for. Lots of sailing, perfect spots for snorkeling, swimming, and paddleboarding.

Yah Yah produced beautiful and delicious meals.

Very sad that the week is over.

Wish you the best in all your adventures!

– Libby & Tim

You made this trip above and beyond amazing! We can not thank you enough for taking care of our every need and allowing us to truly relax. We hope to sail with you again in the near future and wish you a beautiful rest of your season.

-Matt and Heather

It was by far one of our best trips ever! You guys were so fun and did an amazing job of taking care of us. The food was so good! The drinks too! It was so relaxing, and you did a great job of showing us the best places! I can’t wait to do it again. We would love to take you out on our 25 foot Malibou boat back home. If you are ever in Minnesota, call us.
-Heather and Travis

Thank you so much for an amazing first yacht experience! We had an absolute Best time and you both made our trip incredible! Every detail and expectation was beyond amazing! We will be back!

Thank you for everything

Scooter & Theresa

Absolutely incredible experience aboard Scuba Doo, the Lagoon 50 catamaran in the British Virgin Islands! From the moment we stepped on board, Hazel and Ya Ya made us feel like we were on top of the world. Their hospitality was unmatched, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. Ya Ya’s cooking was out of this world – every meal was a culinary masterpiece, and I was blown away by the variety and freshness of the dishes.

The activities were incredible as well! Scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters was an absolute highlight – I got to explore vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside octopus, sea turtles and exotic fish. Snorkeling was equally amazing, with abundant marine life just waiting to be discovered. For the more adventurous, wakeboarding in the calm, turquoise lagoons was so much fun – and the crew made sure everyone was safe and had a blast. I got up on my first try after Hazel’s great lesson.

The whole trip was a dream come true. If you’re looking for an unforgettable vacation in paradise with a crew that feels like family, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s 5 stars all the way!

I just spent an amazing week aboard Scuba Doo 50 in the BVI! We did a lot of fabulous diving, snorkeling, excursions, wakeboarding and other water activities but what really made the experience special was the hospitality and the food by the crew. Somehow, in between preparing restaurant quality meals, snacks and excellent drinks with love and care, leading water excursions, cleaning up after us and keeping the boat and all the water toys well maintained, the crew, Chef Yah Yah and Captain Hazel, also managed to make us feel like family. The environment they created, their ability to always make sure we were comfortable and having the best time and the knowledge they have of the BVI, marine life and the boat absolutely enhanced the whole experience!

I highly recommend a trip on Scuba Doo 50!!

We have been to the BVI twice prior and chartered a similar boat. Our experience on Scuba Doo was first class and exceeded our expectations. The crew, Ya Ya and Hazel were phenomenal. They went out of their way every day to accommodate our requests and make an amazing experience for our kids. From tubing, diving, E-foiling, snorkeling and beach excursions every day was unique and memorable. Scuba Doo is very spacious and well laid out. We spent most of our down time relaxing up front or up top. The boat has everything you need and high end appointments. The Wifi worked excellent the entire trip and was easy to check work emails if needed. The food and attention to detail was fabulous. Hands down the best cuisine we have experienced on a BVI charter. Our kids who can be picky loved every meal and wished their mother could cook like Ya Ya. We were sad to leave but will always remember this trip and look forward to returning on a boat crewed by Hazel and Ya Ya.

– The Florie Family

Talk about living the dream! A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of spending a week aboard Scuba Doo 50. Since I had never chartered a boat before, I had no idea what to expect. But let me tell you – this experience exceeded every expectation! The crew, Yah Yah and Hazel, made the week beyond special. They were warm, welcoming, accommodating, and incredibly service-oriented. Yah Yah’s cooking? Absolute perfection! Every meal was delicious and tailored to our tastes. Hazel’s captain skills? Smooth sailing! He handled everything with confidence and ease, making us feel completely at home. The yacht itself? Stunning, spotless, and packed with every luxury imaginable. You won’t find a better crew or a more incredible experience. All I can say is, don’t just dream about it, go do it!

A very special experience for a multitude of different reasons. The freedom to explore all of the BVIs, making it feel like an inclusive experience complete with your own Michelin star worthy chef YahYah. This trip would have been wildly different without them leading the way.

Truly- a once in a lifetime experience that is totally worth it.

Very, very sad for this trip to come to a close.

We have been to the BVI twice prior and chartered a similar boat. Our experience on Scuba Doo was first class and exceeded our expectations. The crew, Yah Yah and Hazel were phenomenal. They went out of their way everyday to accommodate our requests and make an amazing experience for our kids. From tubing, diving, snorkeling, and beach excursions every day was unique and memorable.

I just spent a week with Yah Yah and Hazel aboard Scuba Doo

I have to say they make work look like fun and made our charter feel like we are their friends .

Each meal was delicious and presented like being in a fancy fancy restaurant.

I have more pictures of my meals than I should but needed to have them.

I recommend highly trying to get this experience you won’t regret it.
-Karen

I just chartered Yacht Scuba Doo 50. Had an amazing week with food out of this world . The Captain and Chef Ya Ya are very attentive of all our needs and made our sail the best . Highly recommend the experience.
-Paul

Kris and Aneta,
We just wanted to tell you both Thank you for taking such excellent care of our family this week! We all accomplished getting Ellen in the water for 6 dives! The captains cocktail hour was fantastic-especially the Manhattans! All your suggestions were spot on. The Baths on Virgin Gorda were particularly a treat. Wreck of the Rhone and seeing Gillian with the baby turtle at Soggy Dollar and the shart at Whistling Cay were my highlights! Best of luck with your next adventures!
-The Burnhams

We appreciate you both working non-stop to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. This was the trip of a lifetime and largely due to you.

We wish you two the best!!! With lots of love, Adriana, Brian, Ana & Alex

One of the main reasons for our trip was to make memories with our family, especially the kids. We can’t say thank you enough for everything the two of you have done.

You are an amazing part of their memories and we can’t thank you enough! Good luck in all your future endeavors and good luck together!
– The Kirwans

Thank you so much for making this trip one our family will never forget! We feel so lucky to have experienced it with a sweet couple like you! Thank you for accommodating us so that we could see our friends and for showing us all around the BVI! We truly appreciate you both letting us ask ALL the questions! Aneta, your food is incredible. You were able to make delicious meals for adults as well as for the kids – which isn’t easy. And the shark cake for Remy’s birthday was a hit! We will definitely be returning – maybe we will see you again!
– Rhett, Caroline, Remy & Mac

Kris & Aneta ,
Thank you so much for an amazing trip in the BVI’s. We have visited and seen many fantastic spots around the several islands in the BVI and they were just as spectacular as we hoped. Sailing in the BVI really lives up to the hype.

You guys are the friendliest people and crew and we have really enjoyed spending this week with you. The food on the boat has been outstanding. We are amazed by the meals you guys have prepared in that small kitchen – and all homemade!!! So good!

Thank you again for an amazing adventure and one that we will never forget. Good luck with everything, you guys deserve the best.
Love from Norway – Linda, Kristine, Steiner, Stian & Filip

Dear Aneta & Kris,
Thank you both for an amazing experience in the BVI’s! We were celebrating my husband’s retirement and my youngest son’s 25th Birthday and could not have picked a better location and boat! We visited so many beautiful islands and had many happy hours at the many island bars. The food on the boat was amazing, we had restaurant quality (even better!) for breakfast, lunch & dinner! We were amazed how they cooked all the homemade food on the boat! We will never forget our adventure and plan on returning.
It was the Vacation of a lifetime! Love to you both and we hope to see you in the future.
Ray & Donna

We had incredible stay on ScubaDoo and enjoyed a sinful week of absolute relaxation. If you are a fan of incredible food, non-stop drinks, wonderful music, constant snorkeling in the azure waters of the Caribbean, and wonderful hosts, then Scuba-Doo is your thing. Anetta and Kris were absolutely wonderful taking care of our food requests without missing a beat. The boat is special with everything you will ever want on a floating boutique hotel.
Looking forward to coming back soon.

Sincerely,
Eric and Charlene

Aneta & Kris

I just wanted to let you guys know you made our holiday truly amazing. From the moment we boarded Scuba Doo we felt very at home aboard. Karen loved her introduction to scuba diving, she felt safe and enjoyed seeing a whole new world. The boat was spectacular, everyone loved it. The only complaint we both had is 9 days is definitely not enough time. Your hospitality was second to none.

Thanks for the best sail ever we hope to be back on board Scuba Doo soon.

Karen & Paul

Dear Aneta & Kris, you guys have made our family feel right at home. Your warmth, knowledge, care, food, diving skill and flexibility have treated our family to a journey we will never forget! It was wonderful getting 4 of us PADI Dive Certified on this vacation! – Eric

The days and evenings unfolded with ease and each seemed better than the one before. Thank you for all that you did to make this such a wonderful trip! – Dee & Christina (Charlotte, NC)

Kris & Aneta,
We can’t thank you enough for an amazing week! You both have such a great confidence about you which made us feel safe and incredibly well-cared for.

Thank you for exceeding our expectations, and making a lifelong bucket list goal reality! We wish you both much love and happiness!
– Gail, Tom, Abbey, Elise, Sam & JM

Thank you for an incredible experience aboard the Scuba Doo Yacht Charter! From the moment we set sail, Kris & Aneta’s warmth and hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that made our USVI trip unforgettable.

They went above and beyond in all aspects of the trip, from recommending the best snorkelling & dive spots to finding the perfect mooring ball in the cove for us to spend the night. The attention to detail and care they put into everything they do was greatly appreciated!

Aneta prepared delicious and beautifully plated meals & desserts for us each day – accompanied by the ocean breeze, you can’t beat it! Also, a must do on Scuba Doo was setting up the floating dock to enjoy the sunsets while sipping on some of Kris’s signature Painkiller cocktails!

And finally, I had the opportunity to complete my Open Water Dive certification course with Kris. He was an amazing instructor, ensuring I felt safe and showed us some of USVI’s best dive sites. We saw a ship wreck, lots of fish, turtles, stingrays, and a nurse shark!

Thank you both again for an amazing trip!
– Nick

We have just returned from a tremendously memorable trip to USVI with Scuba Doo! Kris and Aneta were the most welcoming crew and they had pampered us with delicious food, drinks, and activities. We had always woken up to the fragrant smell of breakfast. You could expect freshly baked waffles or cinnamon buns on the table waiting for you. Kris took us around different parts of the islands and we had the opportunity to see all sorts of sea life as well as landscapes. As a Jack of all trades, he could be a Captain, a chef, and a fisherman. He caught a black fin tuna on our trip and fed us the best grilled tuna steak for dinner. He also made sure we had a worry-free trip as he worked tirelessly around the boat to ensure all parts of the boat are well maintained. There was not a part of the trip I did not thoroughly enjoy and call it once in a lifetime experience. A hundred percent recommend Scuba Doo for your next family vacation!

-Tina

It’s been a week since our BVI catamaran vacation aboard the Scuba Doo. The vacation high is over, and I finally have time to relay our thoughts. As soon as we three couples boarded Scuba Doo, we knew it was going to be an epic week. Several of us had previously been on a catamaran in the BVI two other times through other companies. We knew what to expect, and what we preferred to do…or so we thought.
Kris and Aneta – WOW – you two were beyond amazing! Your attention to detail, sharing of stories and finding new places for us to explore exceeded our expectations. We had just enough activities and relaxation times to please the entire group. Snorkeling and floating at the Caves and Indians and also at two coves new to us was perfect. The two divers of the group were able to get their fill of diving without interfering with the rest of the group plans. “Bubbles Up!” Kris was also patient and attentive when one of us went on a discovery dive for the first time. Aneta and Kris also know their way around the kitchen! We did not go hungry and thoroughly enjoyed all the meals, and treats in the ‘Dome of Yum’. Our highlights are The Baths, Conch Island Tour in Anegada and Saba Rock. Kris and Aneta were troopers for our White Party wine tasting dinner and Scuby Doo night. Oh the laughs!
Thank you for a truly magical week!

-Vicki

What an amazing week!! Words cannot express how perfect this trip was. Kris and Aneta, you are rockstars! Thank you! – Mike

Kris & Aneta, Thank you for a wonderful week! We made some great memories with you; Scuba diving, the Baths, conch island, Scooby Doo party, all the delicious food (especially the crab cakes and all the desserts!) and the time you took for our conversations. We wish you much success and safety on this third season. Please know we have enjoyed all of your attention to detail. You two are AWESOME! Go Chiefs! – Jeff & Sheryl

Kris & Aneta – you two are amazing both inside and out. Your children will be hearing of your adventures and the guests who’s lives you made happy beyond words! You two have perfected your trade! We love you, Bike & Lisa
Ps. Best desserts ever xx

Thank you Aneta & Kris for an amazing vacation and charter we’ll never forget! The diving was beyond words from the night dive to the lobsters amd so much more. The food was so delicious and I hope to cook as well as you back home. We loved playing in the water and getting to learn about the islands and sailing on the bridge. We hope to come back again because you guys are so great! Thank you so so much for making this charter so magical.
The Richards Family

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for an amazing honeymoon/family vacation excursion in the USVI/BVI’s. The diving & dining experience was absolutely top notch. This was Sonya & Kings first catamaran trip and we definitely want to do this again – and hopefully with you as our crew! We appreciated the attention to detail, hospitality and friendly yet professional approach. We highly recommend Scuba Doo & crew to anyone wanting a beautiful holiday in the Caribbean!

P.S. The best cuisine ever!

Capt Kris – thank you for the amazing dives!you helped us feel totally comfortable with a group of beginners to advanced levels. Thanks for making our diving and boat experience the best!

Love Karli and Bryce

Kris and Aneta,
Many, many thanks for an incredible trip through the BVI! The adventure itself was unforgettable but it was the food, drinks and service that took the experience to the next level! You two make an awesome team. Stay in touch and let us know if you are ever in socal! Then we can take you on a boat or two!

Great trip made awesome by the crew-Five Stars

What an incredible way to spend my 40th Birthday!! you two made it fantastic!
-Ivan

Kris & Aneta,

You are the friendliest, most capable crew in the Caribbean ☺️ The food was amazing – not only the crazy amazing flavor – but how do you do that in that tiny kitchen?! Cocktail hour was always spot on. No one can agree on what was best, mojitos, Manhattans, passion fruit margaritas or bushwhackers.

How good was the 50th birthday celebration? Perfect! It is now the birthday by which all other birthdays will be measured. Where else can you get a champagne toast and a light up squid hat? Only on Scuba Doo.

Diving from the boat every day was a huge highlight. You found dive sites that were a great fit for our group and made it work with all the best island side trips. Your activity recommendations were on point!!! From hikes to dives to cocktails!

Thank you so much,
Russ, Susan, Dave, Shina, Noel, John & Ramsey

Aneta & Kris,
Thank you for a beautiful and memorable adventure! This was a once in a lifetime experience that we will remember forever. We are so thankful for the amount of thought places into the location and activities every single day. The hard work and amazing food could never be better. Speaking on Grace & Liam’s behalf, this trip gave them an insight on what hard work and kindness look like. Grace has always wanted to sail, but now more than ever she really wants to! Both of you have made us feel at home even in close quarters. Thank you again for an amazing week and fantastic Easter!
Fondly, Chris, Bridget, Grace & Liam

Aneta & Kris,

Words cannot express our gratitude for all you have done for us. Being our first time on an adventure such as this, we were not sure what to expect. The two of you made this trip truly extraordinary. As a family, we have been fortunate to have traveled to many places. This trip has certainly tanked at the top. You went above and beyond to ensure we got the most of our short time onboard. The experiences you provided; the unbelievable meals (and gluten free!), the sailing, the snorkeling & diving, the wake-boarding, all of it was truly the most memorable. We all so appreciate all your hard work. I am sure as Grace and Liam look back at their childhood, this trip will surely be a high point, if not the highest. With that Bridget & I are so thankful. We all wish both of you all the best in your future.

Sincerely & with tremendous gratitude,
Chris & Bridget

Kris & Aneta,
Another day in paradise! This was an incredible week and time went by way too quickly. I easily got used to the morning swim, endless snorkeling, and the most amazing food. The diving was rich with beautiful coral, fish, lobsters, turtles, and rays. We loved the peaceful sailing, made even more fantastic by the playful dolphin that visited us. The captains’ cocktails were a treat – from painkillers to espresso martinis.
You are both amazing at what you do! You were informative before the trip and your guidance during the trip made everyday filled with fun. Your energy and positivity is a joy to be around! We will miss your home in paradise and are left wanting more! Kiki’s 5th Pirate Birthday Party was the cutest!
This trip was absolutely amazing!
Thank you!
Kristen, Jason, Ella, Jack, Heidi, Dieter, Kiki & Justus

Kris & Aneta, you guys are the best!! The hospitality, adventures, food, seamanship, stories and advice were all amazing. Thank you for taking such good care of all of us and ensuring that we had one of the best vacays of our lives! Hoping to see you both again sooner rather than later!!!
Take care, be safe, and thank you again! – Justin & Kelly

Dear Kris & Aneta,
Thank you so much for this incredible trip! We made so many great memories and had so much fun! I loved the Bathes, taco bar and great food! You both have taught me so much more about sailing! We will always remember this amazing trip! Thank you for this great vacation!
– Shannon (age 12)

Thank you for an awesome trip!!! I loved all the fun activities that we did (especially toobing!!!) I had so much fun!!! Plus, the food was sooo good!!! I will have so many new amazing memories from this trip!!!
Thank you so much!!! – Kate (age 9)

Thank you for letting me and Kate to go toobing – Bobbi (age 5)

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for everything you did to make this week the best family vacation we have ever had! We are so grateful for your hospitality and for teaching our girls to snorkel and sail as well as tie knots! So many awesome memories!
Love, The Prevost Family

Best Family Trip – I cannot say enough about our excellent experience with Michelle Heyns of Epic Yacht Charters and our crew on the Scuba Doo, Perhaps the best all-around family trip we’ve taken! Booking the charter with Michelle was easy and seamless. She is knowlegable, available and held our hands through every step of the process. Highly recommend! Our family of five (my wife and I and three daughters, ages 15, 12, and 8) chartered Scuba Doo, a 50-foot catamaran, for a week in early March for our spring break. It was PERFECT. The captain Kris and the first mate/chef Aneta were all we could have hoped for. Kris is a top-notch captain and had everything under control on the boat at all times. He’s a skilled sailor and walked us through the plan for each day. He was very helpful with our daughters and skillfully guided them on/off the dinghy when we went ashore. Kris also made some great “captain cocktail” specials for happy hour for the whole family. Really was the ideal captain. Aneta is so thoughtful and somehow turns out gourmet fine-dining quality meals from that tiny little kitchen. Three wonderful meals each day, with great variety. Honestly, the meals were so good there was no reason to have lunch or dinner ashore. My wife and I are sort of “foodies” and we were highly impressed throughout the week. We did a mix of USVI and BVI, which was perfect. Something to do each day – or nothing to do if you prefer! Island adventures, snorkeling, beach days or just cruising. Overall, our week on Scuba Doo with Kris and Aneta was probably the best family trip we’ve had. We very much hope we’ll be able to book with them again!
-Ben & Britt

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for an awesome week! I had a blast – the food, drinks & jokes were amazing!

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for being the best ever! The drinks and food were always delicious. (I even tried new food!) Hope to see you guys soon!
– Teryn & Adam

Kris, Aneta & Scuba Doo,
You helped us create everlasting memories that we will cherish for a lifetime and beyond. Thank you for everything you did for us as well as keeping us safe. There are too many memories to count so the pictures will have to do. Thank you again for everything and we will stay in touch!
-Becky

Thank you for being so amazing to me this whole trip the food was so amazing and snorkeling, tubing and paddle boarding were fun. Thanks for a very memorable vacation!
-Cecilia

Thank you for everything! The food was always amazing! All the new things I’ve tried have been so cool! Thank you for such a memorable vacation!
– Kami

Aneta & Kris,
We can’t thank you enough for such an amazing week aboard. From the briefing (three squares) to the beautiful islands you took us to, the diving, the sailing, the hiking (Patty will always remember the hike! Lol) And of course the fantastic meals, but most of all we will always remember your incredible hospitality! You made us feel like guests in your home not like customers. We will remember this trip forever.
Thank you so much,
Keith & Patty

I booked Scuba Doo with Captain Kris and Chef Aneta for my girlfriend and me to get some scuba diving in and to show my girlfriend the BVI.  Kris and Chef were amazing and by the time the trip was over, I believe that I can count them as friends.  The food Aneta made was delicious and Kris was a great dive master/instructor as well as a superb bartender.  Kris and Aneta even went above and beyond to fulfill a special beach bonfire evening that I requested.  You and I both know that the success of a charter is greatly dependent upon the crew of the charter, and I can say this trip was extremely successful!!
Everyone has written about Aneta’s meals and Kris’s Activities and while all that applies, the richness of spending 7 nights 8 days with them was priceless and beyond delightful! It was our pleasure to get to know you both more than just “crew.” You two are rich beyond your understanding and my prayer is that you cultivate that so you can continue to spread your joy with others!
Love you guys!
Keith & Jessica

Aneta & Kris,
Thank you for the most fantastic week! It was the perfect way to kidnap my family and create once in a lifetime memories. The meals were delicious. I am amazed by the food Aneta poofs out of the small corner kitchen – small but mighty! The activities while onboard were pletiful, some lazy & some active – the perfect balance for us. On that note, thank you for resurrecting my scuba career! 25 years dormant!! I will cherish the map and recall each amazing detail when I look at it. This trip has been a dream of mine for years – the reality was even better than I dreamed.
Special thanks to the patience with late rising teenagers, accommodating picky eaters, being Cowboy fans!! and being able to stream the game! Setting up a special birthday celebration and of course for finding fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
Thank you!
The Daleo Family

Kris & Aneta,
First off lets talk about how amazing the food was!! Aneta, you never failed to amaze us with every single meal! Right when we got here everyone fell in love with the charcuterie wraps to the awesome sous vide turkey dinner! Wishing you and your amazing cooking skills could come home with us. 😊
Thank you for all the awesome adventures we got to experience. Some of our favorites were the baths and snorkeling around Waterlemon! Soggy Dollar and Willy T’s is a definite YES!
Thank you for making this such an awesome trip and fun experience. This is definitely one for the books! Y’all are fantastic!
Love the Corsmeiers,

Captain Kris and Anetta were fantastic on all aspects. The boat was amazing – super-comfortable and we’ll-equipped. I loved the layout of the salon, with the u-shaped sofa and middle console. We had all meals out on the deck – never really used the salon but I liked the open floor plan that made it seem more spacious. All of our rooms were comfortable with good mattresses and nice, efficient bathrooms.

The food was delicious – and it wasn’t easy with our dietary preferences and restrictions. All meals were delicious and well-presented. Anetta did a great job making Maddie’s meals replicate ours but vegan. And she even baked a chocolate birthday cake for Lauren (along with presenting her with an bottle of champagne and a map of the BVI with our journey charted on it). So thoughtful. Kris and Anetta joined us for dinner at Saba Rock one evening and it was much fun.

We snorkeled a ton – saw some sea turtles, sting rays, lots of amazing fish, including a few barracuda, awesome coral. Kris helped a fisherman rescue an Eagle ray from his net that Jay and Maddie found while kayaking – a happy ending to a potential for a bad outcome.

We hit great beaches and some of our top must-sees – Norman Island, Willy T’s (where Jay became somewhat famous for doing about 8 backflips from the top deck – people we saw at other islands said “Hey, you’re the backflip dude!”) the Baths, Cooper Island, the bubbly pools, the North Sound, and Caneel Bay.

It was an amazing week and something we will all remember for a very long time. Thank you for everything you did to make it happen and make it amazing.

Kris & Aneta,

We had an amazing charter with you through the BVI! This trip was our familys first trip together in 7 years! We really enjoyed the entire trip but daily highlights include: St. John – snorkeling with the turtles! Jay becoming famous at Willy T’s for his backflips, (#backflipboy #willytsbackflipboy). Kris rescuing an eagle ray from the fisherman’s net – good karma for that! Thank you again for orchestrating such a beautiful birthday celebration for Lauren (24!). Aneta is an amazing chef – every meal was a standout! We especially loved the Jerk Caribbean Chicken, Sesame Tuna, and Snapper! Eggs Benedict, Taco Tuesday and the banana pancakes were also a hit.

Thank you so much for the best trip ever!!!
Jodi, Russel, Jay, Maddie, Lauren & Christian

Kris & Aneta,

Each day was an Adventure – a balm for the soul and an exercise in practicing daily gratitude. You guys make an incredible team! Not only were we well taken care of but we were fed like kings. We are forever changed by this trip. It’s a rare thing these days to stop and disconnect from the fast-paced world we live in and spend real quality time with friends and family. We are glad you were part of this. We will go home a little braver, a little wiser and a lot more grateful!

Here’s to the next adventure!
The Koehler’s

Kris & Aneta,

After nearly 30 years of putting world and other people first I cannot express what a privilege and joy it was to feel so well taken care of. This whole trip was like a warm blanket (safe & cozy) but a heck of a lot more fun! The sea is most definitely our “happy place” and your hard work and attention to detail really supercharged that experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving out family and experience we will forever remember and be grateful for.

Jenna, Cisco & Chris (“The Beard”)

Kris & Aneta!!

This is truly one of our favorite vacations! We love being on a boat (where Tom truly smiles ear to ear the whole time!) The food has been over the top – now back to eating cheerios at home. We will keep in touch and please let us know if you are ever in the Boston area so that we can try to reciprocate.

Unforgettable 40th Birthday. Not since the water birth of my kids have I had such joy. Not even a spider man marathon could top this. You’ve helped us find the new adventure of scuba, which we hope to continue safely by practicing the DON’T, THINK! method. We hope your adventure continues with all “YES’s” and few “no’s” and may your darts always find the bullseye.

Your “WHO-DEY” Crew – Dana, Dave & Mike

Aneta & Kris,
We are so appreciative of all the effort you guys put into making our trip simply superlative. The food/cocktails/captainry and most of all camaraderie were all wonderful. We will always remember this trip as just THE BEST.

Words cannot describe how amazing this trip was. Hearing all of your amazing stories was so interesting. You both are such a great duo. This has been some of the best food I have had – filled with unique combinations and even better taste! Diving was spectacular and thank you for getting me out of my fear of the ocean. There is no doubt in my mind you will continue to kill this forever. Let’s go BOYS (cowboys), Lions (probably never) and Stafford.
From your craziest football fan and much love.

What a remarkable journey!!! Your culinary skills are out surpassed & thank you for making everything whole grain and healthy. Your sail/navigation/Captain & first mate skills were fantastic and we enjoyed every ride. Kris, what an amazing divemaster. We felt very safe with you & lived your guidance throughout our tour of the sea and its creatures. Thanks for the exciting football games, although I realize these were not under your control. Thanks for advice and friendship. Please look us up when you are in NYC and we can have a mixology party!!!

The crew was great! This is usually what can make or break a charter. Both Kris and Aneta were very attentive, great cooks, and professional about their roles. They really upped the game compared to my previous charter experience. Kris also dives which was a big plus.We all had a wonderful time on this cruise. Great food and memories.

Thank you, Thank you, thank you! Our week with you on Scuba Doo exceeded all our expectations and created so many family memories! The snorkeling, sailing, Food, and hiking were all amazing. We hope to come back and hope our paths will cross with the two of you again! 🙂
Thank you

Cammi and Charlie,
Thank you so much for a phenomenal week!
We had an amazing time. Seriously the best cooking I have ever had. Before this trip I would not have said I was a bona fide ocean explorer, but Charlie’s snorkeling passion was infectious, and now I would call myself a snorkeling super fan. You guys are the best! Wishing you the best in your adventures and eventual dog ownership.
-Savannah

Cammi and Charlie,
They say that the most valuable asset you can acquire is not tangible things but lifelong memories. As you can see from the above, you have given our family just that. Memories that will last a lifetime. For that we thank you so much-it was an amazing week!!!
-Your explorers

Cammi and Charlie,
First of all, “Thank you” will never be able to describe how grateful our entire group is for this pas week. With that being said… THANK YOU!!

Cammi,
Your work ethic and desire to make everything perfect is incredible. Every meal was incredible-delicious, beautiful, filling, awesome! The running joke is that we were never hungry on this trip. We probably ate less this week than we normally do and that was because every meal was perfect. You were also patient, flexible, and understanding with us.
Thank you!!

Charlie,
You are the man! You taught us more about boats, sailing, snorkeling, diving, and reef/sea creatures than we could ever learn in a lifetime. We also asked more questions than we could in a lifetime and you answered every one. I’m still not sure when you were bullshitting us… so I’m going to go with the fact that you just know way to much. thank you for putting up with our shenanigans.
Thank you!!

We had the most amazing time on Scuba Doo. Thank you Charlie for the great snorkeling and smooth sailing. Cammi you did an outstanding job of providing us with the most delicious meals. You both did so much we really appreciated it. We all loved our week aboard Scuba Doo!
Thanks for making this a memorable experience.
Love,

Thank you guys for such an incredible week! You ll are the best. I can’t express how much fun this trip has been. Cammi and Charlie are “Rockstars!” C an C now how to entertain a group of 8. This experience has been one I will remember forever. Thank you, Scuba Doo Crew!!

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you both for an amazing week! You are a fantastic team and made the week pass by in a blink. It is incredible how a trip can be so fully relaxing and so action packed. We loved every bit-snorkeling swimming, hiking, lobstering, fishing, playing on the water toys, and of course the sailing. Your shared joy of sailing was a pleasure to watch. And then, of course, was Cammi’s cooking. We loved every single thing you put on the table.
Perhaps best of all was getting to know you guys a little bit. We loved Charlie’s quiet confidence and stoicism. You are a true professional and all around cool guy. And Cammi you have such a warm and engaging personality with the most infectious and joyous laugh. We loved hearing about your unique background and life experience.
Our trip had been delayed 2 years due to covid but alas you made it worth the wait. We are so thankful for an amazing week on the boat with you.
-Brian and Kristin

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you both for a wonderful trip! IT far exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible… the snorkeling, sailing, and hiking were so much fun. The experiences this week would not have been the same caliber with both of you. Your generous spirits and hard work made it all look easy. Thankful for sharing a piece of your world with us.
Until we see you again

I had an amazing time with you guys. The food was amazing, and scuba diving was awesome. Hangin out with everybody made me feel peaceful.

Miss Cammi,
You made me feel like a younger sister. I had so much time to be you mini chef, and I had so much fun. I loved my hair after you braided it, and going to the beach and learning how to do one handed cartwheels was a big thing on my to do list. I will tell you when I could do it.

Captain Charlie,
I loved seeing you play with Sho. The look on his face, showed you knew your pokémon. Next up Sho champion.

With all Love Kaili (11) and Sho (5)

Kris & Aneta,

Kris & Aneta,
This is truly one of our favorite vacations! We love being on a boat (where Tom truly smiles ear to ear the whole time!) The food has been over the top – now back to eating cheerios at home. We will keep in touch and please let us know if you are ever in the Boston area so that we can try to reciprocate. Xoxo Donna

Kris & Aneta,
Thank you for such an amazing week! This was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. We’ll be thinking about these meals (and desserts) long after we get home! We’ll keep in touch on Instagram and hope to join you on another adventure before too long! – Colin

What a trip. We all had a wonderful time with a new adventure every day. Food was wonderful! Back to the snow and daily routine back home. Maybe we will find you on another great adventure – hope so. – Tom
And great birthday!

Cammi and Charlie,
What an amazing experience this has been. Cammi has to be the most cook. We hate that our journey has to come to an end. We hope to be back on the water in the future.

Trip of a lifetime. the food was so amazing. Cammi- you are very talented. I hope the owners of the boat understand how lucky they are to have you to take care of it. Best of luck to you both for a great life together.
-Joe and Teena

Cammi and Charlie,
Such a wonderful trip! You made it extra special. Thank you, thank you! Food was amazing and you are both awesome! Good luck in your next adventure.
-Jo and Dave

Dear Cammi and Charlie,
How can we begin to say thank you for the millions of little things you did to make out vacation truly memorable! Cammi, I am Italian and my love language is food and service. I see your beautiful heart in all the you do everyday. You are like a ninja, making beds (or remaking beds as I always tried, but failed miserably for a week to make our bed) while we weren’t looking. Your food was made with love every single day. Thank you for sharing all your talents and your kind and beautiful heart with us.
Charlie, Thank you for being game for pretty much anything at anytime. You are gentle and fearless. You showed us so many things and were always up for the game.
This was a week full of rest, relaxation, and also adventure. I just didn’t know it was possible to put all of that into a single trip. Thank you both for taking care of us with so much love and care. We will share stones of this week with our grandchildren. You firmly imprinted in our memories and we are forever grateful for the experience.
-With love and gratitude
Kate

Cammi and Charlie,
You exceeded our expectations the moment we stepped on the boat. Thank you for the greatest vacation I have ever taken! Thank you for listening to our 10,000 questions! Best of luck in all future journeys.
Cheers
Paul

Cammi and Charlie,
When we set out on out island adventure I knew we would be treated to a relaxing sail in a beautiful setting. What I could not have known is that we would be treated to spectacular cuisine, lovingly prepared at each and every breakfast, lunch, and dinner and snack break. I could not have known we would be treated to a captain who would also serve as our patient, creative, and knowledgable guide to the islands who would whisk us to the hidden gems, such as the ideal snorkeling and diving spots, that would make our trip truly special. Spending a week with your senses of humor, attention to detail, adventurous spirit, and steady hands truly took our vacation to a different level. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime and best of luck to you both.
Cheers,
Johnathon

Cammi and Charlie,
Thank you for a memorable week of delicious food, fantastic service, and company! We enjoyed every minute, and it was in no small part due to your attention to detail! You two are the absolute best. Good luck in the rest of your season! We’re jealous of your future guests.
All the best
Drew, Spencer, and Sheldon

This has been the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for giving us and our boys such amazing memories! This truly was a great adventure! Kris & Aneta, you both are wonderful and we truly appreciate you guiding us through this experience, your hospitality & delicious cooking!

Such a fun trip… Thank you for an amazing 5 days and coordinating our changing travel arrangements. We are so grateful for this experience! You amazed us everyday with your knowledge of the area, excursions and culinary delights. Can’t wait to d this again. Best of luck to you both in all you do.
-Tim and Lisa

Cammi and Charlie
We can’t remember a time in recent years where everything was taken care of for us-hard to do, but very relaxing-just what we needed!
Your food was amazing-especially the sea bass, avocado toast with poached eggs, and those blueberry scones :). If you ever find yourself tired of this beautiful Caribbean weather and scenery, you have a baking job at the Spot on Main!
Charlie thanks for making snorkeling enjoyable and our dinghy rides fun!
-Erica and Jenny

Dear Cammi and Charlie,
To say we had a an amazing time doesn’t do you both justice! Everything was perfect. Attribute to you both showering us with kindness, incredible hospitality, and a ready smile.
wishing you both Smooth Sailing present and future.
-Brad and Rosana

Dear Cammi and Charlie,
Thank you for the most amazing trip around the USVI. I had such a fun time scuba diving with Charlie and hiking with Cammi. I appreciate all of the smiles and laughs.
Wishing you both the best
-Jaelyn

Charlie and Cammi,
What a fantastic week! Thank you for everything. We sailed around Saint John and a couple of coves on Saint Thomas. We started the week pretty timid about the water and ended with lots of growth. Ava and Ian went snorkeling at every stop seeing a nurse shark, reef shark, sting rays, a squid, and lots of fish. The nights where the underwater lights were allowed lit up large tarpin and smaller fish. Megans Bay and Christmas Cove were our favorites. Megans because of the beautiful yachts and night lights and Christmas Cove for the snorkeling and pizza boat. Charlie’s knowledge of all things sailing and Cammi’s amazing cooking were definite highlights making for a fun, relaxing vacation.
Thank you for everything you both made our family vacay unforgettable!

-The Palmers

Chef Cammi and Cptn Charlie,
“The trip of a lifetime.” You made everything so special-the food was amazing, the places we visited were so special. You knew the history which made it so interesting. This time spent with my children and grandchildren is something I will cherish always. God bless you!
-Judy

Cammi and Charlie,
Thanks so much for all you did for our family this week. This is the best trip I have ever taken and it wouldn’t have been half of that without you all. You are the best at what you do. Thanks again for the best week.

C and C,
This has been a perfect week! Thank you for your hospitality. Food and sailing were amazing. Top Notch!
I can honestly say this is the most relaxed, serene, and tranquil vacation I have ever had. Connecting with the sea and the beauty it has to offer will stay with me forever. I wish I could bottle up the calm and peace. I will definitely be back to these waters someday. Hopefully sooner than later!
Safe sailing to both of you:)
Love Jenny

Cammi and Charlie,
So grateful for the amazing week in the sunshine. So thankful for this last family trip together. I wish you safe travels and hope you get back to Rhode Island soon.
Love Kim

Amazing experience. Thank you so much for making this such an enjoyable vacay. Weather was great. Food was outstanding. We certainly will book to do this again most likely with the kids.
Classic response to my question about the Don Julio- Yea Boy!

-Michael and Laura

Cammi and Charlie,
This has been an amazing week. Every meal was amazing. Favorites were the scallops and sea bass. We also enjoyed the afternoon cocktails, especially the strawberry-rasberry-basil frozen concoction. Thank y’all for leading us to the best snorkel spots and hikes. The two of y’all worked so well together to provide the best experience for us as guests. Your work ethics and personalities are top notch. Best of luck for all your future ventures. Thank you so much!
-Leslie and David

Cammi and Charlie
We had a memorable and wonderful 30th Anniversary! You both are the most attentive and thoughtful hosts. The food and activities and leisure all took place effortlessly for us and we know it’s all due to your skills and hardwork. We wish you all the best as you will succeed in whatever you do for sure. We hope to cross paths again some day! Fair winds and following seas, as they say.
All the best with warmness

Charlie and Cammi,
We can not express what a wonderful time we had on the Scuba Doo! Cammi greeting us with prosecco and shirley temples as we boarded the boat. I can’t explain how delish every meal was. We had such a wonderful snorkeling and scuba adventures with Capt. Charlie. Both of you were so knowledgable of all our mooring and anchoring spots! You guys have been amazing to us and our children! This vacation is definitely one of our favorites that we will never forget!
Love,
Anthony, Julianna, Christian, Brianne, Angelina, and Anthony

Cammie and Charlie,
We had such an amazing week on Scuba Doo. Your talents in cooking, your knowledge of the ocean and the islands, and you amazing hospitality made it a truly memorable vacation for Steve and I and our group. I can’t wait to sail again with you one day. All the best in life to you and Charlie.
Love Nikki and Steve

Cammi and Charlie- The beauty and confort of Scuba Doo is only exceeded by the two of you. This trip has exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a huge part of our weekend helping me navigate the proposal. Food on board was sensational. Really “5” star all weekend!

-Dan and Sue xo

Captain Charlie and Cammi – What a great week it’s been on Scuba Doo! Thank you for going above and beyond to make this a special week for us, especially the kids. We’ve made so many special memories that will always make me smile. The rocky trip to St Croix, swimming with the turtles, the beach day at Scott’s beach, the tarpon at night, the day at Buck Island – too many fun days to pick a favorite. And the food was a huge hit – you definitely spoiled us. Thanks again for making this family vacation one we will never forget!
Michelle

Great times!!! Can’t begin to pick my favorite day – they were all so awesome. I’ll always remember the beautiful sights, incredible breeze, taking the helm on the sail back from St Croix, the music, kids laughing gnips, superpowers and great meals to name few. The kids had an experience that will last their lifetime. Hopefully this was the first of many more like it! Thanks for helping us pull off the surprise and great reveal!! Remember to cherish the journey, experiences and memories that come from them!
Jason

Charlie and Cammi,

From the moment we boarded our family shared memories and laughs together snorkeling, night swimming, scuba, hiking and much more. We were hosted and treated be you in a way that make this a first class experience – from the cuisine to the mountain rescue mission during the storms at Caneel Bay. These memories will last a lifetime. You made it truly special.
Thank You,
Joel

This is my favorite vacation! Relaxing and adventure rolled into one – our family meals were priceless. The time spent with our children during the trip will be remembered forever. Thank you!

Thank you Cammi and Charlie for making this trip everything we hoped for and more! We needed this trip to escape a very long covid winter in New England. So many fun snorkel and scuba stops. Loved the afternoon walks.
Cheers, Jane

Thank you for everything you did! I had no idea about the history of the sugar industry here, and loved the walk that we did to visit them. The diving and food were amazing. It was the perfect escape from a New England winter.
All the best, Helen

SPRINK BREAK!!

The Scuba Doo and its crew Captain Charlie and trust mate and excellent chef Cammi, made for a top notch vacation! We circumnavigated St John ~ Hiking, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, reading, snoozing, paddle boarding and drinking and eating while we were spoiled by Cammie and Charlie. Highlights included snorkeling with turtles, swam with a nurse shark, hiking to the sugar mills and to the top of the mountain overlooking Caneel Bay….and the grand finale of a day on the beach at Caneel. Our family and our friends spent much needed quality time together, which is truly the best gift of all. We hope to return again aboard the Scuba Doo! And we will be back to St John, one of our favorite places on earth. THANK YOU Charlie and Cammi!!! Come visit us in Charleston!

Till we meet again XOXO
