We just spent an incredible week aboard Tedavi exploring the BVI 🏝️‘s. Harry and Ellie were so easy to connect with, and they had a fun chill island vibe all week long.

After boarding Tedavi it took only a few minutes for Harry to ask us a couple of questions and then we had our route planned and it fit our group perfectly.

Ellie’s food was incredible, and Harry is a master mixologist. We felt like each meal was a dining experience and looked forward to sharing them together with rich flavors, smooth drinks, and a chill island ambience.

While providing this experience for us, Harry and Ellie kept our quarters clean every morning along with keeping the boat very clean. The layout on Tedavi is incredible and fun. Harry and Eli are professional, have a high level of pride in their work, are fun and personable, and have our highest recommendation.

Dear Captain Harry and First Mate and Chef Ellie, what an incredible 8 day sailing adventure!

You both made this trip truly unforgettable. Your sailing expertise, calm confidence, and island knowledge made every moment special. The food was absolutely unbelievable, every meal was a highlight! Your service was flawless, warm and always with a smile. Thank you for curating such a perfect, joyful escape. We loved every second!! We’ll be dreaming of these days for years to come!
With gratitude!
Betty and Bob Clayton

Harry and Ellie, thank you for an amazing week!
We could not have asked for a better experience. You both went above and beyond to make sure we had a vacation none of us will forget!
Ellie- the food was out of this world. It is going to be hard to go back to Indiana and cook anything close!
Harry- the painkillers were stellar- the best the BVI have to offer!
Thank you!!
David and Amy Foertsch

Harry and Ellie, thank you SO MUCH for a phenomenal experience on my first charter, Tedavi.

You both have been exceptional – the food, drinks, hospitality – all of it! We will miss you both, and plan to return as often as possible.
Pray for me – Chad might starve without Ellie’s cooking hahah!
We love you!

Harry and Ellie, last few hours on the yacht in the BVI, last amazing breakfast from Chef Ellie, and last cruise in from Captain Harry. We will never forget the way you both treated us and made us feel so at home. I’m beyond grateful for them. They were absolutely the best crew. If I could do it all over and pick my crew, it would be them.
Going home we are sad it’s over, but we will have our Ellie Belly to remind us!
Ps. Thank you for the show Harry, it was amazing

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our charter aboard Tedavi with Captain Harry and Chef Ellie was nothing short of magnificent—truly the best vacation I have ever taken.

Chef Ellie’s food was top notch in every sense of the word. Every meal was beautifully prepared, restaurant-quality, and thoughtfully curated. Each dish felt special, and it honestly rivaled (if not exceeded) fine dining experiences I’ve had on land.

Captain Harry made the entire trip exceptional. From celebrating a proper Scottish Burns Night, to fishing, water sports, and seamless itinerary planning, his attention to detail and hospitality were unmatched. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel relaxed, safe, and completely taken care of.

What truly sets this experience apart is the people. By the end of the trip, Harry and Ellie felt like family. Saying goodbye was genuinely emotional—I actually cried leaving them. That alone speaks volumes about the warmth, care, and connection they bring to this experience.

The level of service, heart, and hospitality on Tedavi surpassed any vacation I’ve ever been on. This wasn’t just a charter—it was a life-changing experience I will treasure forever.
Samantha H

Harry and Ellie are the absolute best!
Was our first charter and didn’t know what to expect.
I can’t take another without expecting perfection!
Food and company are TOP NOTCH ❤️

Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough words. This was our first boat charter and you have made it undeniably one of the best vacations. Ellie, thank you for the food, sharing recipes and book suggestions. Harry, thank you for sharing Burns night with us and showing us your hidden talents. Also, thank you for helping me with one of my most difficult days. We <3 (love) you two! Live and love like life is infinite!”
Laura S.

We had the time of our life. We were aboard the Tedavi …. The crew were amazing.
Ellie the chef and Harry the captain were so much more than their titles. They wore so many hats…. But the one the wore that means the most to us was …. Family!
They treated us like family. If we ever come back I hope it can be with them.

Last few hours on our Yacht in BVI .
Our last breakfast from Ms Ellie and cruise in from captain Harry.
It’s definitely been like the old saying goes . I may forget half the trip , I may forget their names, I may forgot the name of the boat we were on….. But I’ll never forget the the way they treated us or the way they made me feel.
I’m beyond grateful for them.
They were absolutely the best crew. I think i speak for every 1 when i say …If I could do it all over and pick my crew, it would be them .

6/5 star experience!! I would highly recommend chartering with Harry (captain) and Ellie (chef) on the Tedavi, anytime, no matter what kind of experience you are looking for because they will make sure you get exactly what you want!!

They provided us with an awesome itinerary based on all the things we wanted to do but were extremely flexible every day. Ensuring we had the best experience was very clearly their top priority and it showed in all that they did. They kept our boat sparkling clean, fed us tons of amazing delicious food (that included all our faves), brought us to all the best spots around BVI, and truly gave us a one-of-a-kind experience. They also included some awesome additional special celebratory things since we were there for my birthday – truly above and beyond any expectations!

This crew and boat are THE BEST and we hope to be back again with them in the future!!

Erica S.

There are not sufficient words to describe how wonderful our experience just was on the Tedavi, a stunning 51-foot yacht crewed by the amazing captain Harry and chef Ellie, sailing for a week in the British Virgin Islands!

First, the crew: Harry is the consummate licensed captain, handling the boat superbly and going above and beyond those skills — knowing, as does Ellie, all the best spots for snorkeling, exploring, venturing on islands but also attending to any special requests and generally presenting a “your request is my command” attitude. Ellie’s unbelievable food is restaurant quality, every meal topping the previous one (and her desserts are insane; beg for her brownies!).

These two lovely people are also wonderful, fun company to be around, and they are truly what made the entire trip so wonderful. The Tedavi is a dream, too. So comfortable, so many different spots to relax and hang out, in shade or in sun. The beds are extremely comfortable, and you just pinch yourself the whole time, experiencing the lush life on this wonderful yacht with a superlative crew in the most beautiful Caribbean waters.

Our family of six cannot rave enough!

Amy B.

Harry and Ellie – thank you for such an amazing and relaxing trip. This was the first time we ever took a trip like this, so I didn’t know what to expect. You guys went above and beyond our expectations!
Thank you for putting up with such a chill group who were happy with sleeping and sitting around.
Harry, thank you for teaching my boys how to use the sea scooter and e foil, they all had SO MUCH FUN!!
Ellie, thank you for all the homemade (from scratch!!) food. I’m not much of a cook myself so you really spoiled us! We never had a disappointing meal!
We will definitely be spending the word around about our experience! If you ever find yourself in the area, please reach out!!
Sharon M.

Thank you both for making our charter such an incredible experience. From all of the delicious meals and cocktails, to both fun and private anchorages, we couldn’t have asked for a better crew.
We’re leaving with full hearts and amazing memories. Thanks for everything and until we meet again!
Love y’all <3”

Eleuterius Family

Harry and Ellie – thank you for an amazing relaxing trip. We loved getting to know you two, as you chartered us through the BVI.
We’ve never done a trip like this, and it was truly exceptional. You really spoiled us!!!
Harry, thank you for keeping us safe and for expertly guiding us.
Ellie, thank you for the delicious homemade food, we loved every minute, come visit us in DC

Ellie and Harry – it would be difficult to not enjoy such a beautiful boat and islands.
However, you both are the reason for how amazing this trip was for me and my family.
The tour guiding, excellent sailing, friendship and of course the cooking all contributed to what will be a memorable trip for our family.
You will be remembered as integral members of the trip. If you ever find yourselves in Chicago, and need restaurant recommendations or a couch to sleep on, please reach out! It would be a great feeling to repay you for the amazing time you’ve given us.
Thank you and miss you already!!

The Barnard Family

Harry and Ellie, you two are absolutely astounding!
This week was incredible, start to finish! You both so clearly love what you do, and have created such a wonderful experience and environment. Thank you so much for everything big and small!

We just had the most amazing charter with Harry and Ellie this past week. One of the most relaxing and beautiful vacations we have ever had.
The meals and cocktails were incredible, the boat was pristine and they knew all the best places to take us.
Couldn’t recommend it more!

Harry and Ellie – Thank you for curating an amazing atmosphere to relax and be silly together. We had an amazing time and would come back in a heartbeat. “Naurrr!!!

Ellie and Harry are the best crew ever! It was so much fun getting to know you both, thank you so much for all you did for us! Best trip and the best boat! Hope we can all stay in touch!

The Harrts

Simply an amazing trip!
Captain Harry and first mate/chef extraordinaire Ellie were so gracious and thoughtful the entire time.
Lots of laughs, phenomenal food, and amazing excursions.
Joe W.

Ellie and Harry made this vacation over the top!
They anticipated our every need/desire and were enjoyable while staying professional.
I highly recommend the Tedavi with Captain Harry and Chef Ellie.
A vacation of a lifetime!
Anna W.

We had such an amazing trip aboard Tedavi!
The accommodations are what you would expect aboard a catamaran but what made it a notch above was the excellent service from captain Harry and first mate/chef Ellie.
Harry got us everywhere we needed to go and put up with our changing plans with no complaints.
He also makes a mean painkiller 😉
Ellie’s cooking was better than any of the food we had off the boat and she even helped pull off a surprise birthday dinner the last night.
The Virgin Islands are spectacular and I can think of no better way to see them than on board Tedavi!
Robyn W.

Harry and Ellie – what an amazing time!
Thank you for the wonderful food, conversations and endless care. You are both exceedingly thoughtful, so much so that you made everything look and feel effortless. We know however, that it is not at all effortless!
So thank you!!
We very much appreciate you both

Ellie and Harry- thank you for taking care of us in all the ways.
It was amazing to watch your pro activity, your cooperation, and your care towards us.
Not many people could do your jobs, and do it with a consistently good nature and attentiveness!
The two of you are a big reason behind why we have had such an amazing, spirited and wonderful adventure. Thank you again for all that you have done for us, things both great and small!
Ps. Some specifics on your above and beyond: Harry saving Billi from toppling out of the dinghy, Ellie prepping our end of cruise luau themed meal days in advance, and for putting together a truly outstanding culinary experience every day.

What a tremendous six days!
Harry and Ellie were extraordinary! EXTRA attentive, EXTRA capable, EXTRA patient, EXTRA talented.
We are so very grateful to you and the owners for welcoming us onto Tedavi for our time in the islands!

Harry and Ellie – you have outdone yourselves!
We can’t thank you enough for taking care of us, the sailing, sights, laughs and food were unbeatable!
We look forward to sharing our experience with family and friends, thanks for the best vacation!

Gordon and Cheffie
What a great experience! First time sailors and we can’t wait for our next excursion! You left us all wanting more! God bless

El cheffie and el heffe!
What a fabulous trip! Everything I could have hoped for and more! We hope to see you again in the not too distant future!

Gordon and Ellie
What a great trip it was! You are both so kind and so gracious and that made the trip all the better!
We are so grateful to have had this experience.

Gordon and Ellie
Thank you for the most amazing and memorable trip, you truly made the week unforgettable! Ellie, I don’t know how we will return to our mediocre food after eating your amazing creations. Thanks for making such amazing meals with so much love!
The Campbells

Gordon and Ellie:
“trip of a lifetime” – that’s how I’ve described this last week with our family onboard Tedavi. Both of you went above and beyond ensuring our family would have an adventurous and entertaining but safe vacation.
Ellie- your cooking lessons with our “dancing chefs” were legendary. We will have memories of those performances forever. All of your meals were so meticulously prepared and made with lots of love. They were outstanding!
Gordon- you truly have a passion for sailing and it shows. The boys learned so much from you and will always have a piece of the Caribbean as they grow older. Thank you so much for your patience and guidance.
And finally, Lenny – no words to thank you for your generosity and friendship. You’ve given us a gift that we can never repay, we love you my brother.

The Lamadrid’s

Gordon and Ellie- what a simply fantastic vacation!
We can’t thank y’all enough for a remarkable time away from reality.
From Gordon’s expert seamanship, knowledge of the region and great humor, to Ellie’s incomparable talents in the galley and hospitality, it is certainly not a stretch to say this was the best charter we have EVER experienced.
Thank you for being a part of our family, even if it was only for a week. Until next time!!

Ellie- a giant thank you for the most memorable week. We enjoyed every bite of your delicious meals… you have a real gift! We also enjoyed getting to know you, thanks for an amazing week!” – Dan and Julie

“Ellie – quite simply, you are amazing! And I have lots of extra pounds to prove it! Your culinary expertise and hospitality made for an amazing week onboard Tedavi and we are forever grateful!” – Chris and Misha

“Thank you for such an amazing week! This was such a memorable vacation, we will never forget it!” – Myja and Jim

“Ellie- this was simply a phenomenal week! We have never eaten so well for so long – the food was delicious and the presentation incredible. Frankly, those superlatives won’t do your talents justice. We truly hope to have the chance to travel with you again in the future. Until then, best of luck and fair winds!” – Thom and Jenny

“Gordon – thank you for an incredible and memorable vacation. Your humor, professionalism and hospitality are without compare – you’re truly a master of the sea … and the blender! We all hope we get to sail with you again, until then, fair winds!” – Thom and Jenny

“Gordon – thank you for the most amazing week on Tedavi! From your lime in da coconuts to climbing the mast to take care of the sail – you went above and beyond to create a memorable trip!” – Dan and Jill

“Gordon- thank you for an amazing week aboard Tedavi! Your expertise and hospitality were so appreciated and your willingness to go “above and beyond” quite literally made for a great experience!” – Chris and Misha

Our time on the Tedavi has been incredible.

Both Captain Gordon & Chef Ellie treated my family with so much care and made the experience unforgettable!

From sailing the coast of St John, learning facts from the Captain to jumping right into the most secluded, clear blue bays before a perfect dinner this entire trip was a win for our family.

My girls most enjoyed swimming in the sea and helping Ellie add extra chocolate chips into their pancakes.
Eric and I appreciated the details that did not go unnoticed – extremely tidy boat, delicious meals, and overall a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the amazing snorkeling spots, swimming with sea turtles, shopping local, and exploring a new beach each day.

Thank you for the memories Tedavi!

How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?

Hands down, the absolute BEST vacation we’ve ever taken! There aren’t enough words to describe how much we loved this experience with Captain Gordon and Chef Ellie. While the act of sailing and the views were amazing in the USVI, Gordon and Ellie truly made the experience SO special. We have traveled to many places and have never had food as delicious as the meals prepared by Ellie – and I mean that! Both Ellie and Gordon were so fun and easy to be around, it felt like we had known them both forever. Our group all agreed that it was the best, most relaxing vacation we’ve ever been on and we can’t stop talking about it.
We definitely want to come back and would absolutely love to have Gordon and Ellie again. If they are unavailable, they surely have set the bar so very high for the next crew!

How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the
cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade?

Tedavi was amazing. We had 3 couples on our trip
and felt like it was the perfect size for all 3; I think 4
might have been a little crowded. There was plenty of
shade. Gordon and Ellie did a phenomenal job of
keeping it clean – they scurried down to our cabins
after we got ready for the day and were so quick to
tidy up, we didn’t even notice when they were down
there!

Did you use all the water toys? If you were diving, how did you like the area?

Yes – loved the toys, especially the new addition, the
e-foil! We had a fabulous dive instructor come on the
boat, Audrey, and I can’t recommend her enough. It
was so nice being able to have a private dive on our
own boat instead of going out on a big boat with a
bunch of people. Audrey was a great teacher for our
friend that was interested in learning how to dive!

Where your meals
excellent and fresh? Spiced with variety and beautifully presented? Did the menus meet your
expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?

ELLIE WAS AMAZING!!! Truly, the best food we have
ever had – and we’ve traveled ALL over. I can’t express
how delicious, creative, unique and special each
meal was that she made. She definitely paid close
attention to our preference sheets which was
awesome. I will never be over it – she has set the bar
high for us!

How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful?Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?

Absolutely amazing. So professional, kind, funny,
fun… they felt like old friends that we had known
forever. They worked SO well together and you could
tell they both greatly respected each other.
They talked very highly of their bosses and how their
company prides itself on customer service and they
embodied that 100%. & Beyond should be proud to
have them on their team because they are the BEST
of the best!

Was it easy to get to your yachts destination?

Yes

How do you feel now after your vacation?

I want to go back!

How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?

It was perfect! We wouldn’t change a thing – except to
stay longer!

Any additional thoughts?

I cannot say enough positive things about this
experience, Gordon and Ellie! I cannot WAIT to come
back!

Name Allison W.

“Absolutely wonderful trip, made so by you two wonderful people. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much Ellie and Gordon for an amazing trip. We had the best week hanging out with you guys! Hopefully we cross paths again soon!”

“Ellie and Gordon are the best crew ever! Was so much fun getting to know you both. Thank you so much for all you did for us. Best trip! And best boat! Hope we can all stay in touch!”

Ellie and Gordon,
Where do we begin? What a wonderful stay we’ve had! Thanks to Ellie’s fantastic cooking, Gordon’s sailing and knowledge of the islands, great cocktails and fun times, it has been like hanging with old friends!
What an awesome experience thanks to you both and your chilled attitude and approach!
Highlights would include the “blondie” dessert, an unreal bar hop on Anegada and Gordon’s karaoke!
A marvelous start to 2025, thank you!!
The Aussies!

Gordon and Ellie,
A GREAT start to 2025!
You gave us amazing memories with friends and family, Tedavi is a very special place to me and I can’t thank you enough for all you do to make my dreams come true.
Food is always amazing! This time, you went beyond with the pavlova and the honey layer cake!
The e foil was a great addition and fun to use.
Thank you for all you do!
Lenny C.

Thank you SO MUCH for my favorite vacation I’ve had! Y’all’s attitude has truly been amazing. Every meal, every sail, every tour, every bed side chocolate has been life changing. I thought of y’all as part of our family over the last week. I don’t know if we can have another vacation without thinking of you guys! WE WILL BE BACK! Do not forget us because we will be requesting Ellie and James!!! Waking up in the morning to the smell of food and sea water has been great. We might all be saying things in an Aussie accent every time we eat, we might remember James calling Howard first mate, but I KNOW we will always think of this vacation and how many memories we made! How many laughs we had all together, how many “good mornings” we said. We are so grateful for both y’all and the commitment you put on us having a great time! Tedavi will have a spot in our hearts <3
Ellie, please tell us if you open a restaurant, please invite us to your grand opening!! Macy, Abby and Taylor will be there. You deserve the biggest kitchen ever!! James, we hope you sail the Atlantic as safe as possible.
We hope you sail the world and live on your kill cord name. We hope you can name a yacht “Kill Cord”! All I know is… we will be back… and y’all cannot forget us! We need Ellie and James as our friends on vacation, and we need Ellie and James as family.

We love you both <3 We will always think of you both as part of our family, and we hope yall remember us like we remember y'all.

James and Ellie
We can’t thank you enough for an incredible week! With both of your guidance we were able to find the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure. Being in close quarters with people you have just met can be challenging, but you both fit right in with our group and definitely enhanced the enjoyment of our trip.

Ellie, thank you so much for sharing your culinary skills with us, it was some of the best meals we have ever had on a trip!

James, thank you for keeping us in line and making sure we were able to see all of our wish list. When we make our way back, we will definitely be looking you up, and you are both welcome in New Orleans anytime!

James and Ellie
We feel truly blessed to have spent the week in paradise! Thank you both for your incredible hospitality! Your professionalism and care was so appreciated, and made this a trip we will all cherish! We wish you both success, happiness and blessings in all you do! Thank you again for making our trip magical!!

I love learning new things during our travels; “flexi travel” and “foot prisons” are my two new terms!

James and Ellie, you are amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome. The food, the cocktails, and all your efforts to make the journey fun for us were way above our expectations!
Hope to see you again, all the best!

James and Ellie – thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness.
Everything was amazing and you always made us feel welcome and at home.
We hope to see you on Tedavi again! You guys are the best 🙂

James and Ellie- thank you for making our week so incredibly enjoyable! Tedavi is beautiful and you are wonderful hosts! Best wishes in all that life has in store for you … sail safely!!

James and Ellie – what a wonderful relaxing and fun week! Thank you for the incredible food, drinks and hospitality. You two are the best!
Best wishes to you both and continue living your best lives!

May God bless you all in everything you do!”

James and Ellie, thank you so much for making our vacation amazing!
It was a once in a lifetime trip that was enhanced by both of you. You showed us incredible things and everyone is going home a few pounds heavier because of the outstanding food!

You two are amazing spirits and we wish you the best of luck in all that you do in the future!
Ps. thanks for putting up with us haha!

Thank you Ellie and James for a beautiful trip, beautiful people. We were so blessed. Loved every day and every minute – a lifetime trip!

Love you both! “Wooooo!

Thank you so much for a terrific week! James did such a nice job navigating some challenging weather. And Ellie – your cooking and baking was out of this world! Such a special experience for some of our favourite family friends. Thanks for all you did for us!

The most fantastic trip ever! You absolutely exceeded our expectations! We loved the fun vibes, laid back atmosphere and the laughs. James – your expert captain skills were very much appreciated in our 30 knot winds.
Ellie – the Ellie belly is a real thing 🙂 The food was amazing! We hope to be back and wish the best to you both always.”

Thank you for a tremendous week. Great food, sailing and company.

As this was our first trip we were very excited and wished for a wonderful experience – you two made our trip wonderful!!! – your attention to detail was outstanding – planning our next trip already! Until we see you again.

This was our first charter vacation. You truly made this a memorable and beautiful time. The boat was always well tended and the attention to small details was very much appreciated. The culinary delights were out of this world. Your meals were appreciated for breakfast-lunch-appetisers-dinner and dessert! This was a beautiful experience and we owe our appreciation to both of you.

Thank you for such a great time. A couple of rainy days and we still had a blast. Thank you both for singing with us in our own music concert.
From the culinary delights to always finding the best spots, the vibe was amazing! I’ve definitely gained the “Tedavi 20” and I don’t regret it at all!
The spirit and fun you bring to your work is amazing! Can’t wait to come back!”

James and Ellie, this trip has been absolutely amazing. It has been apparent that every detail had been considered, and paired well with our interests. Of course, the details matter, but you two brought them to life. The culinary genius and sights/views surpassed anything I could have imagined. Thank you as well for being yourselves. For the past week it felt like you were part of this family, making us laugh the whole time. You two have been really genuine and it was great! Hope to see and hear from you two soon!

How is it possible that each day is better than the previous? Each meal better than the last? Every moment perfect and memorable? Because Ellie and James make it that way. Doing so with such ease and grace, I’m sure that living aboard with people you don’t know for a week has to be overwhelming and challenging, but these guys have the love, joy and passion for hospitality. In short they become like family. We will miss them and hope to return. This was a simply sublime week in the BVIs, our first time, and we can’t imagine not doing it again, and we also can’t imagine going with another crew on a different boat. Thank you guys for caring for us, feeding us, and showing us your slice of heaven. All the best! Richard

Thank you!! This was in fact the best vacation I’ve ever been on! I’ve definitely grown a lot in the last week and I owe it to you both. The many laughs, meals, snorkels have been grand. I look forward to our future together and I wish to be as happy as you one day. Again with pleasure, bruvs.

Ellie and James, Thank you both for a fabulous vacation! We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to spend the last week with. I will never forget the memories made during this time – from Willy T’s to painkillers at Soggy Dollar. Please feel free to come visit us in the future! With love,

Amazing time with Captain James and Chef Ellie!
We appreciate how well we were treated! See you in Greece?!

Three Roberts and an Audrey can’t express enough thanks to both of you for a WONDERFUL vacation. Expert piloting and exquisite food only start to describe the attention to detail and grace which you brought us this week.

You both have a berth in our home if you ever make it to New York!

I wanted to reach out and just say how much we enjoyed having Finlay and Rose as our captain and chef.
I cannot say enough about the dynamic and positive, fun atmosphere they created for us. the food was amazing and the trip was an absolute blast. They really enjoy what they do and it shows.
I would highly recommend them to anyone and would request that they be our crew on ouyr next BVI adventure.

Thank you so much for such an amazing trip! Thank you so much for all the time you have spent planning the best week ever (again!). The food was always amazing and I can’t wait to come back and spend another week with you!!! Next time I think we need to put a limit on the magical elixers. I couldn’t think of a better crew for my first time in the BVI’s and I can’t wait to come again.

You have done it again. Another perfect week. We love our time with you guys and look forward to coming aboard again and again! You guys are the absolute best and are now grateful to call you friends

Thanks you for the best rip ever. Period.
First off, the food YUMMMMM!! I’m sorry I didn’t beat my pancake eating record again. Thank you for going out of your way to make this week as magical as it could be. The snorkeling was AMAZING. As my first time ever going to the BVI’s it sure was the best it could ever be. the sailing was so much fun because we could just relax and like an hour later we were in the most calm and beautiful places. Also, the sea scooters were the most fun things I have done. I could not stop playing. Your new boat is amazing, the layout is different but we love it.
thank you too for going out of you way to make the scuba dives happen and getting all of us set up.

All the planning and hours, days, weeks and months of your sweat that goes into making one week for us perfect will never go unnoticed by our family. Being with the two of you is icing on the cake! The food, the experience and the ability for our family to enjoy one another is priceless.
Our family only has a few more vacation weeks until our girls go to college. there is a reason we wanted to be with you again! We are forever grateful to you!

Thank you so much for this incredible trip. Thank you for all the time spent making this the greatest trip ever, AGAIN! Y’all are the best. The food was AMAZING and the sailing was OUTSTANDING. Best crew in the BVI!

You both created an unbelievable experience. Rebecca’s food was incredible, somehow both, fresh, tasty and delicious and just what we all wanted. Heiko made a fabulous cocktails and also knew all the best snorkel spots around. All around amazing!

You extensive knowledge of the reef was truly appreciated – thank you for sharing with us all. 5 starts – would eat here again. Very memorable experience!

Thank you for an awesome family experience and birthday! It was fun being apart of the first charter on the beautiful Tedavi! Fantastic food from Rebecca and outstanding snorkeling – Heiko took us to all his secret spots! Thank you for all the special memories!

All the best!

Rebecca and Heiko deserve a vacation! You created such a magical experience for us, you thought of everything. I hope our paths cross again on another adventure.

Thank you for an awesome USVI experience, could not ask for a better Chef and Captain – you are both wonderful!

Best of luck in 2023.

Thank you for a magical trip! I cannot imagine sailing with again without the two of you! You knew what we wanted and needed before we did! I truly appreciate both your preparation and execution of a seamless experience! Being in such capable hands made this the most relaxing, carefree trip of my life. I truly hope that this is the first of many voyages with you!

Best wishes for a happy, healthy 2023.

Five stars food and sailing! Amazing trip and experience – Can’t thank you enough for your excellent service and focus on all of us during out trip. You are highly experienced and great at anticipating our needs – exceeding expectations.

Thank you!

Magical is the word that comes to mind when I think about our week. It was truly magical. You took care of everything and my experience was amazing.

Thank you, thank you for making our week one of the best weeks of my life!

Your hospitality is so appreciated. We enjoyed getting to know you and to hear your life stories. We have been in awe of your ability and expertise in the kitchen, at the helm, and all over the sailboat and ashore. One image I will never forget is Rebecca in warrior pose, positioned to nab a mooring ball. You are both so kind to accommodate our every request and handle our foibles with grace. As you conclude your maiden voyage on Tedavi, we wish you a 2023 on this gorgeous boat, a year ahead filled with discovery, adventure, good health, safe travels, deep dives into each other eyes.

Thank you!

AWESOME trip! Heiko was very patient with all the questions about sailing, diving and the reef. I enjoyed you sharing your knowledge and I also enjoyed eating all of the fantastic meals Rebecca made. Food can make or break a vacation for sure. This food made this trip for sure. Thanks for making this family trip of ours so fun, tasty and special.

We didn’t quite know what to expect and both of you exceeded our wildest dreams about a boat trip vacation! From the amazing breakfasts to desserts.. the meals were outstanding. You really need to assemble a “Rebecca Cook Book. The daytime adventures with Heiko were always memorable. He was always so patient and anticipated everything we all needed. We can’t thank you enough for making this an amazing family vacation!

Heiko and Rebecca were unbelievable! From the first moment we stepped on board we felt 100% comfortable and relaxed. The accommodations were perfect and immaculate (The entire trip!) The food and drinks were exactly what you would want to eat on a tropical vacation. Heiko and Rebecca knew exactly what we wanted before we knew what we wanted. Heiko made us so comfortable in the ocean and gave us a five star snorkeling experience (MULTIPLE TIMES)
Rebecca’s food was INSANELY delicious and was perfectly complimented with heinous cocktails/desserts. We will truly remember this vacation forever. THANK YOU!

As the father and planner of our family vacations, it is always difficult to plan a trip that all four kids will love. We have been all over North America together and my wife and kids all say that THIS was the best vacation we have gone on.
On this trip we got to experience the Virgin Islands. This is experience was because of Heiko and Rebecca. My kids think that Heiko is a super hero. He took us to places in the ocean that were truly amazing. He taught us how to hold our breath for 1.5 minutes and free dive to 25 feet. He even found our lost phone at the bottom of the ocean. He is a real life Aquaman!
In all of our vacations we have never had such awesome eating experience and that was because of Rebecca! Every meal, every snack, every dessert were truly delicious. The whole family is asking if we can do this trip again but only if we can do it with Rebecca and Heiko!
They really made this trip truly special. We all now consider them friends and we WILL see them again.

To say Rebecca and Heiko exceeded expectations is an understatement. A nice boat is nice boat but the crew makes it special. These two are fantastic! They made our family vacation so special from the 50th anniversary banner, cups and welcome champagne to the wonderful meals and snorkel trips. We would do this trip with this crew all over again!

Heiko and Rebecca are the best crew to have on a boat. Heiko was basically Aquaman and found all the sea creatures for us to see!
Rebecca was the most amazing chef, I looked forward to every meal the entire trip!
The entire trip was amazing from start to finish!

This has been hands down our best family vacation!
From day 1 to day 7 there was so much to see and so much fun had by all. It was amazing to have such a great duo Heiko and Rebecca!
Rebecca had the most amazing meals planned for breakfast, lunch, dinner and appetizers. to make all the member of our family happy with food, is one GREAT accomplishment!
Heiko thank you for all your help (and patience) with our crew. All the pointers on breathing techniques given were so helpful. You were the BEST dive master. All the things we got to see and learn about during our scuba and snorkel dive are unforgettable.
With a family of 6 it is rare that we all agree but without a question this will forever be our FAMILY’S BEST VACATION EVER (until next year and we see you guys again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this such a memorable bonding family vacation for us.

We had a wonderful time this week and you both played a role in the experience. The information you shared along the journey added a special touch. All of the food was amazing!!
Your thoughtfulness and attention is second to none!

The attention to detail was impressive. Placemat changes; shampoo and conditioner bottle placement; bed making perfection; everything was thought of!
Our our hosts were incredibly generous with amazing food and fabulous wines.

Heiko & Rebecca,
Thank you! You provided new memories for all of us that we will never forget. Every snorkel trip provided even more underwater treasures. The food tailored to my family was “lights out” fantastic!! The snacks-dream for all of my active people.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. Everything was so personalized and special. We cannot say thank you enough from our family to yours.
You two make an amazing team and work so hard to provide a fantastic experience for us!
We will never forget this trip.
