Dear Captain Sam and Chef Carrie,
It's a sad day, but depart we must.  I had such a wonderful time.  It was all that I had hoped it would be when we planned the trip.  The food and drink were great, sailing for the 1st time was amazing.  Glad I got this d"bucket list" in and hope to travel with you again sometime.  One of the best parts of the trip was getting to know you two wonderful people (and a little about your lives and family).  Thanks so much for a lovely week.

What an incredible week!  And to think- we almost didn't get to come at all.  Thank you guys so much for giving us your week off and sharing La Speranza with us after our other boat was cancelled due to mechanical problems.  We honestly feel like hanging out with y'all was an "upgrade."  We enjoyed getting to know you and hear your story, and our whole family enjoyed being with you.  Carrie- thank you for your hospitable spirit and wonderful meals.  Sam- thanks for your energy and fun.  This trip was just what our family needed during a really busy season of life.  Lots of relaxation and quality time, punctuated by bouts of activity- snorkeling, hiking, shopping- with some great meals in between.  It truly has been a blessing, a time of refreshing for us.  Thank you.  Y'all please holler at us if you're ever in Mississippi!

Thank you for making our 20th anniversary so unique and special.  We've been talking about this trip for a long time and it lived up to every expectation -and more- than we ever had.  From the gorgeous sunsets to amazing snorkeling to the amazing meals by Carrie and the sometimes funny jokes by Sam (?) we were fully engaged, entertained and excited to wake up each day for our next adventure.  It was truly the trip of a lifetime.  That said, we want to come back :)  Hopefully someday Siena and Riley will read this entry with us and we can reminisce together while celebrating new experiences together.

Thank you and See you Soon!!

Captain Sam and Carrie - We looked forward to this vacation for six months and all our expectations were blown away!  We had sooo much fun snorkeling, visiting the beaches, and eating all the yummy food.  Adrian and Dylan experienced so many firsts...from swimming with the turtles to kissing their first salt-water fish.  Thank you so much for working around our schedule and helping us track down our friends in the BVI.  Your patience with the kids went beyond...the harmonica will definitely make it to this year's Christmas lists!  Really hope we get to repeat this in the not-to-distant future!

Big round of applause!

Trip of a lifetime!  My kids have all said that this trip has moved into the #1 spot on the Family Favorites.  We can't thank you enough for being flexible with us to accommodate us (5 different individuals) in making this trip special.  We checked off all our "to-do" items and listened to your wisdom and added a few more.  Food was awesome, snorkeling was incredible, fun times around the table was a blast!  You both are excellent at doing your God-given gifts to serve others and I hope you are blessed for doing so.  My only suggestions for your future in this industry is to improve your attempts at humor (Sam) and never fly a Gamecock flag while sailing.  Go Tigers!  Hope our paths cross again in SC!

Thank you for all your hard work to provide us an exceptional trip and experiences we could not have had on our own. We will have dozens of good memories to last a lifetime! Our kids had a blast being pulled on the tube and snorkeling for creatures. We loved exploring the shipwreck, baths, learning to sail and enjoyed all of Carrie's amazing meals, to name a few. Thank you for your unending patience and hospitality. Best wishes for the rest of your charter season and a restful week off with your kids.

Lots of love

Sam and Carrie -
You know it's a great sign of an amazing trip when you never know what day it is! From the moment we stepped foot on La Speranza, we were amazed!

The snorkeling was the best we have ever seen. It made it more magical to have Capt'n Sam join us for a lobster find or a speared lion fish. We saw incredible creatures and loved every second.

Sam and Carrie, you made sure we had everything we needed and always surprised us with a little extra, like a tube ride on the dingy or fishing for tarpon or going for our first night snorkel.

The food was fantastic and you made sure there were choices for all of us! Sam even removed all the gluten from things for us! Ha!

The boat was beautiful and very comfortable. We were able to rest, relax and have adventures.

We hope to keep in touch with you both and hear about your excursions and travels. Thanks for letting us be part of your boat family!

Love,
Clay, Amie, Shea, and Joe

P.S. Sam - your Uno game is a lot of big talk!!

Mom says "if this were a test you'd get 100%!"  What an adventure.  Thank you for stopping and adapting to our experience "post hurricane," and adjusting our itinerary.
Carrie - your love and hospitality is incredible
Sam - your watchful eye with supporting Mom was exceptional
It wouldn't have been possible to have this much fun and relaxation without the two of you.  YOU make the difference.
Safe travels- Carlton, Jackie, Paula, Lilly
(See you next year!)

Captain Sammy,
Thank you so much for an amazing week!  We can't thank you enough for your hospitality, your time spent snorkeling with us, towing the girls, teaching them to drive the boat and many other sea memories that we will take with us!  Your Uno skills will forever be implanted in our bitter brains.  Until next time Sammy Don't!
Thank you!

Dear Captain,
Thank you sososo much for driving us to new places.  If it weren't for you, we would've been in the same spot in the water for a week, and that wouldn't be fun.  You are also a very good Uno player.  Also Briana, thank you so much for the AMAZING food, and telling me about all sorts of wildlife.  I wish you guys the best of luck!

Thank you and Briana for an amazing week - except for when I blew chunks!  Seriously, it was the perfect mix of cruising, sailing, snorkeling, and water sports.  The food and drinks were amazing and delicious.  The turtles, fish, and sharks were a total highlight!  And you guys were the best hosts, especially with the girls.  Please stay in tough and look us up in Cape Cod.

Thank you so much for the best trip ever!  You may have won one Uno hand, but that is the last time you will!  I had so much fun this week and I want to thank Briana too.  Your food was AMAZING!  And you guys brought me so much joy talking about your lives and stories.  These are memories I hope I never forget.

Dear Captain Sam,
I should have started writing two days ago instead of waiting until we're pulling into port...but that's just a great testament to how busy you kept us.

Words can't properly express what a perfect week we had.  You navigated us perfectly with each changing wind and took us to every single stop we wanted, plus plenty of surprises mixed in.

This will go down in history as our best vacation ever.  We're sorry we missed Carrie, but Martin was wonderful and Kept us well fed.
Happy Birthday my friend!

Love,

What a memory! Thank you for ordering such great weather!! Our family enjoyed our New Year's week on the boat with you both as part of this special trip. As Dylan said, "we will miss Sam and Carrie." This was an excellent mix of action with nightlife, day parties, relaxing beaches, snorkeling, Sundhill, paddle boarding, tubing, subwing + turtle spotting!

The food was excellent and so was the company. We really appreciate all that you did for us & we hope to be back real soon!
