Thank you so much for such an amazing time on the water! You went above and beyond helping us have an amazing vacation!

We always felt safe and appreciated all of your hard work so that we could relax. Thank you for serving us, guiding us, teaching us, and having fun with us!

Both of you made this such a memorable and fun getaway, and we are so grateful!
~Paul, Amanda, Hayden, and Linley

A week ago, we showed up with bags, although I’m not sure we needed any more than a swimsuit. Today we leave with salt in places we’ll probably discover next week and memories for a lifetime.

Somewhere between snorkeling through crystal clear waters, squeezing ourselves through the Baths while collectively thinking, “There’s no way we’re fitting through that!”, plane Dinga on Saba Rock like it was a professional sport, drinking lots of Painkillers at Soggy Dollar, swimming with Sally, the nurse shark, and Rigging, and rushing to watch the US soccer team in the World Cup on a boat, the days blurred together in the best possible way.

Thank you for an unforgettable week, amazing food, and views we’ll be talking about long after we land!

~Jessica, Adam, Stephanie, Richard, Adrienne, and John

Captain Brandon and Chef Bea, thank you for the incredible week! The snorkeling, turtles, spotted eagle rays, and eel and sharks, jumping at Willy Ts, the sugar cane Mail ruins, the Baths, soggy dollar and Foxey’s!

You both truly made this a week we will never forget! Thank you for helping us create memories will be talking about for years to come! 
~The Tennessee crew.

What a week! Thank you, Branden and Kayla, for all of your efforts to make this the most epic birthday celebration!

~Kristin and Tim.

What an amazing trip! Thank you for everything, Brandon and Beata. The experience just kept getting better and better as the days went by. Our family is so grateful to the team for making this such a special time as we celebrated a meaningful birthday and enjoyed being together, whether over a delicious meal, music, swimming, kayaking, playing games, or simply taking in the scenery.

Beata, thank you for accommodating all of our meal restrictions and for preparing truly incredible dishes for every meal. Captain, thank you for all your efforts in creating a smooth sail, honoring our wishes, and always helping us with research so we could have the very best experiences.

What an incredible trip sailing around the Virgin Islands! We had so many fun adventures along the way on and off the boat. Captain and Chef Kayla have treated us like royalty. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Drinks, food, accommodations, stories, sailing… all the best!
Carrie & Nick

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Neil and I have been to the Virgin Islands several times before this trip — charter, cruise, AirBnB — and this trip blew all the rest out of the water! I booked this charter to celebrate Neil’s 50th birthday and invited our two couple friends to join us and MAN did we have a blast!!

Despite some rainy weather for part of the trip, Captain B and First Mate Kayla made us feel safe, comfortable, and generally well-fed and quenched. This trip has been a memorable one for all of us and we will truly miss Captain B and First Mate Kayla! They are THE A TEAM!

XO,
Nadia & Neil

Such a fun, relaxing week! Thank you Brandon & Kayla for making our trip so special. Everything was wonderful!
💙 Krissy & Jason
 

We had such a great time and appreciate all that you did for us. Thanks for taking such good care of us. Definitely want to come back again.
❤️ Nicki and Eric Bryan

There are no words to describe the joy this experience has brought us. You two provided us with nourishment, laughter, practical lessons and hours of enjoyment. I can even now enter and exit a dinghy successfully (notice I didn’t say with grace). I never imagined I would do a trip like this but I am so, so glad I did. It is one I will cherish the memory of forever!

Dorie & Ron Andrade

What an amazing trip this has been. Something I only dreamed about actually became a reality. Words can’t explain how thankful I am to Brandon and Kayla for making me feel like royalty on this trip. Thank you for everything!

An amazing seven-night stay on catamaran Sommer in the Virgin Islands! Captain Brandon was fantastic!! He was friendly, professional, and made the whole trip seamless. Chef Jay Jay was incredible and genuinely tried everything she could to keep us happy with the food and please everyone in our group. It was like eating at fine dining at every meal!
We felt so welcomed the entire week and couldn’t have asked for a better crew or experience. Felt like being on vacation with friends!!
Can’t wait to come back!
-Cari

New Year’s 2026!
What a magical way to ring in the new year! This was the best trip ever! Branden and JJ took such great care of us. Every step was something new and exciting. The kids loved the paddle boards and snorkeling around every meal was our favorite so sad to be leaving but looking forward to returning! Thank you for the memories! The O’Neal family

Thank you both so much for an absolutely incredible trip! The food was incredible, your hospitality top of the line. We couldn’t have picked a better way to explore the BVI then with you and JJ. We hoped to come back in the future and we’ll definitely be singing you praises. Thank you again! Keri and Dan

We can’t thank you enough for such an incredible week. The food was spectacular every single meal the saline and happy islands were magical. We would not have had such a wonderful time without the chef and Captain Brandon! Thank you for such an amazing experience of a lifetime! Come see us back home! Hottie toddy!

What a week! We all had an absolute blast! Highlights – seen an octopus! Skittle Fish! The caves at the bath! The food! OMG! Chocolate mousse, the eggs, the first two days – what were they? Yum! Apple, crisp, fried chicken, coconut rice, mushroom pasta! Loved snorkeling, sailing was fantastic, and we even had time for art and games! Thank you so much for everything we made a ton of great memories this week.
Jessica
 

I loved the food, snorkeling, and the bass! We had steak saw octopus and I enjoyed climbing and exploring the bass! We set the record of lizard spotted to 56 and one lizard caught! It was an amazing week!
Eve

The time I spent here it was great! The week before I came here I was VERY worried that I was going to get seasick, but the seas were amazing! There were some swells, but overall it was a good trip! But the food! I don’t like chicken, but the chicken I ate here was the chefs kiss! The noodles were filled with cheese! Also on the last day for dessert, we had homemade chocolate mousse! Love the food here! Also, I love exploring and climbing! Our captain is super fun! Overall, it was a great vacation!
Piper

Thanks for making the week great for my son’s family and me! The food was the best I ever had consistently. Loved it!

Thank you so much for the most enjoyable spring break trip! This was a special trip for our family to be together most likely for a while. Captain Brandon and DAO definitely made it unforgettable! Great adventures and food were enjoyed by all! Best time ever!

I will miss Daw and her amazing food! Thank you, Captain Brandon for such a fun trip!

Thanks for the best spring break ever!!!

Our expectations were exceeded! Our weak on Sommer was fantastic! Captain Brandon was so accommodating and knowledgeable and Dao kept our bellies full with the MOST delicious meals. Great crew, great food and the most beautiful locations! We would give this trip a 10 out of 10 stars! Thank you!
Robyn and Chris Long
 

Well, we’ve cruised extensively all over the world. This was an experience and like any other. The intimacy and privacy of only one other couple and Brandon and Dow. Our crew was really special! The food was beyond delicious, huge portions, and lots of variety! Dad took pictures of all mills for our scrapbook and to share. Brandon was a great and safe Captain full of energy to accompany us as we explored! This is and felt like all owner excursions should provide a tour guide. If you wanted to swim, outcome all the toys if you wanted to get some exercise and explore, he knew every nook and clarity of each island. Both Dow and Brandon were engaging, but discreetly gave us as their guest time and space to ourselves. We always felt highly attended to, but not smothered definitel definitely 10 out of 10 all the way around.
Bruce and Leslie

I booked my first ever yacht charter over the week of New Years ‘25 for my 6 person family (wife & 4 kids aged 11-20) to celebrate a special occasion. We were hesitant to start cause of never being on the water for a week, being on top of each other in small quarters and the other unknowns that go along with something new.  Well we had a FANTASTIC trip!!

Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha were amazing right from our first trip planning call – to boarding the yacht – to every meal – every excursion – all the water toys – and especially in just being down to earth good people who fit perfectly with our family. Being on a 2022 50’ Catamaran with all the updated equipment, systems, plumbing, facilities, A/C and other comforts was awesome. The queen size beds were comfy and we all slept well at night. Between the time we spent on the front lounging areas, top deck and back deck we never once sat inside and didn’t even turn on the TV all week!  My wife and I woke up to coffee on the top deck in a different secluded cove every morning and we couldn’t keep the kids out of the water all day. Captain Brandon navigated us into some great spots and Chef Aiesha was masterful for the kids who didn’t want seafood at every meal but also wow’d the rest of us who were eager to taste her island specialties.

It was an unbelievable 5 STAR vacation that created memories that will last a lifetime!
Dan

I just returned from a 8 day / 7 night charter aboard the Sommer through the BVI’s and USVI’s with my family of 6 (husband & 4 kids aged 11-20).  Although I was excited about the opportunity to travel with my family in this manner, I was also a bit apprehensive with what seemed to be a small footprint over a long period of time and 2 kids that have trouble with motion sickness on land.

From the moment our family stepped on the vessel, Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha made us feel at home.  They were attentive to our needs and wants for meals, activities and ensuring our trip was full of lasting memories.  The catamaran was clean, spacious from the point that there were many areas to enjoy the surrounding views and keep sight of my kids in the water, rays of sunshine, quiet spot for a good book and quiet and cool at night for a good rest.

We look forward to another opportunity to travel with Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha with not only our family, but our friends.

We recently had the pleasure of a trip on Sommer a 50-foot Leopard catamaran with Captain Brandon. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear that this was going to be a fantastic experience.

The boat itself was immaculate—pristine! The modern interior was beautifully designed and in perfect condition, offering both luxury and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully maintained, and the spacious layout made it easy to relax and enjoy the journey.

Captain Brandon was an absolute star. He was eager to make sure that everything was perfect for us, going above and beyond to accommodate and ensure we had a great time.

Having never been aboard a sailing catamaran like this it was was a dream come true. The combination of a beautiful, modern yacht and Captain Brandon’s outstanding service made this an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Sommer to anyone looking for a luxury sailing adventure.

We went out on a charter with Captain Brandon. We cruised down the ICW through several bridges enjoying the sights and headed out into open water at Port Everglades. The sea and sky were beautiful! My husband and I are avid boaters however having never sailed it was definitely an awesome experience to cruise through the water with just the sound of the wind and waves. Being up on the flybridge while sailing was so fun but also relaxing! This was definitely a day to remember. Thank you so much Captain Brandon and selling vessel Sommer.
