April 2026 - A 5 Star Experience

Unforgettable experience because the crew (Art & Shawna) made it magical. We can’t pick one but all of the stops were fantastic. The onboard experience was 5 stars… The meals, the boat decor, Art & Shawna’s personality and their attention to detail made the trip exceptional.

From the moment we met Art & Shawna on the video call we knew we were in good hands and would get along. They bring a 5-star hotel experience to the water. Art was flexible and confident in navigating us to the best spots. Shawna is an excellent chef and her relationship with Art makes the trip seamless and stress free.

Shangri La is a beautiful boat and the crew really make it exceptional.

April 2026 - The Trip was a Dream!

The trip was a dream! We loved everything about it and every moment. Captain Arthur and Shawna are fabulous hosts – kind, warm, welcoming. Shangri La is a beautiful and super comfortable boat. Every meal was amazing, delicious and beautifully presented. We were in awe of what Shawna and Captain Arthur created in the boats kitchen!

We had so much fun on our five day trip – karaoke night, lots of sun and swimming. We went to White Bay, Bitter End, Long Bay, Mahoe Bay, and the Great Harbour – all fantastic! But our favourite was Jost Van Dyke – loved Soggy Dollar and Foxy’s!

We could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Captain Art & Shawna for making my birthday and anniversary celebration so perfect – we will be back!

Leverick Bay with Michael Beans show to Soggy Dollar at Jost Van Dyke and swimming in the beautiful Caribbean water was amazing!! A special evening of karaoke where Captain Arthur shared his hidden talent with us kicked off a memorable evening. Chef Shawna outdid herself with a great triple unforgettable celebration from birthdays to a 40th wedding anniversary.

March 2026, A Trip to Remember

Thank you so much to Captain Arthur & Captain/Chef Shawna. We’ve felt so welcomed and cared for. This was truly a trip to remember. With love, fair winds and following seas.

Our favorite memories:
We loved relaxing around the catamaran as well as our adventures off the boat. We had a great time driving around Virgin Gorda in the newly wed vehicle. We loved celebrating at Coco Maya and had the perfect last day at Soggy Dollar.

Janurary 2026- Amazingly Well Looked After!

We were amazingly well looked after and really pampered. We learned so much from such an entrepreneurial couple who really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Shawna impressed us with all her cooking skills and creativity, but not only cooking, her sailing knowledge as well. So just to round up, they excel at what they do, and as a passenger, you’re their priority. We wish them all the best!

Big thanks to Art & Shawna on making this an absolutely magical and unforgettable family vacation. Shawna, your meals were delicious and the passion you both pour into the boat and your guests is so appreciated. Thank you for the most amazing week together.

Some of our favorite places were karaoke at Foxy’s, lime out at St John. Corona Island just relaxing and spending time together as a family. Watching the boys experience things for the first time was a highlight.

December 2025 - A Truly Magical Experience

This was our first visit to the BVI’s via charter, and our goal was to spend quality time together as an immediate fam – we accomplished that completely! Our most memorable moments were at the quiet stops – Long Bay Cave and Sandy Spit.

Special thanks to Captain Arthur and his creative and talented partner Shawna. This duo always had our families best interest at heart, and created a truly magical experience. Their hospitality, artistic and delicious meals along the stunning views of the BVI’s made this experience unforgettable.

Thank you Captain Arthur and Shawna!

Until next time…
