Thank you for an amazing time. We will always remember Isabel’s 1st sailing adventure on August Maverick!
Peter, Ashley and Isabel (8 months), July 2020
Note: Can't tell you enough how excellent we believe your cooking skills are. I preferred your food to the dinner on shore and I'm sure Mike would agree, so thank you for all your efforts.
You are an outstanding, wonderful host. You move so quietly about taking care of all of our needs. You made an exceptional drink! Thank you for all the extra time with moving us about the cabins. Clean sheets, towels, and a cool and cozy room to return to at the end of the day. thank you, you are a sweet and kind soul.
Thank you most of all, this adventure has meant the world to us. All the points of interest, stops, all had a different atmosphere and feel and memory. I hope this venture means as much to all who have the opportunity in the future. Bless you and your business venture.

Shawn and the entire crew were outstanding hosts. They were competent, attentive and accommodating, as you would expect from a professional charter company. But what really made our trip so enjoyable was that the crew was also relaxed and fun. And patient — Captain Shawn was willing to share his local knowledge, love of sailing and pride in the August Maverick to answer our endless “newbie” questions.
We had a great trip and would recommend the August Maverick to anyone.
