We had the absolute joy of sailing through the BVI with Captain Lars and Jaz on our very first charter, and it was truly one of the most special experiences our family has ever had.
We are a family of six with four daughters, and from the very beginning, Lars and Jaz made us feel completely at home. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine care for our family were evident in everything they did.
Captain Lars is an exceptional sailor—calm, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable. We always felt safe and relaxed, which allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. He also made sure there was never a dull moment, setting up water toys and creating so much fun for our girls throughout the trip.
Chef Jaz is nothing short of amazing. Every single meal was thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious—each one felt special and something we looked forward to every day.
One moment that meant the world to us: due to a canceled flight, our 16-year-old daughter had to fly in a day early on her own. Lars and Jaz met her at the airport, took her under their wing, and cared for her until we arrived the next day. As parents, we cannot express how much that meant to us. That level of kindness and responsibility goes far beyond what you expect—it truly speaks to the kind of people they are.
We were also their very first charter on their new boat, Tortuga, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The boat is absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly set up for an unforgettable trip.
This was more than just a vacation—it was a memory our family will cherish forever. Lars and Jaz are two of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met, and we feel so lucky to have shared this experience with them.
If you are considering a sailing trip through the Caribbean, do yourself a favor and book with Captain Lars and Jaz. It will exceed your expectations in every way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such incredible care of our family—we cannot wait to sail with you again!
