Reviews
In fact, it was my best vacation ever, including when I got engaged in Italy . . . except this one has no regrets at all.
I sincerely wish you guys the best, and will definitely hire this crew again. A+ my friends.
Thank you for being gracious hosts and fantastic stewards of the BVI!
Chef Ariq went above and beyond serving up three incredible meals a day, each beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. Every dish looked straight out of a magazine and tasted even better! We all couldn’t decide our favorite because they all exceeded our expectations.
Rob and Ariq couldn’t have been better hosts for our unforgettable family vacation!
Super proud to be the fourth charter! Trip of a lifetime!
Thank you gentlemen for helping us capture everything the BVI's have to offer. You left no stone unturned.
The service, food and especially the stories with those fabulous smiles made everyday magical.
We will be back!!
The food was delicious, Ariq is a pro! They made special accommodations for someone with dietary restrictions and that was very nice.
it was our first charter experience and we will repeat it in the future!
1 week of sailing, exploring and eating amazing food has built memories, opened hearts and minds to possibilities, and deepened relationships with family, including crew.
As we laughed, played and relaxed, Captain Rob and Chef Ariq shared their stories, their talents and their wisdom!
Never have I ever chartered a boat - I would do it again - as this is now the way! And without hesitation - charter with Captain Rob & Chef Ariq - #1 Crew!!
Ariq's food was definitely one of the highlights - from delicious steak that reminded us of home to delicious snapper, tacos, salmon and more. We finished each meal with an amazing dessert, a full stomach and a happy heart.
Rob always managed to pick the best spots and showed us the magic of the BVI. Peter Island was one of the highlights where we all got to swim with the turtles.
Thank you both for making us feel at home and treating us so well, we don't want to go home!
These men were an incredibly skilled crew that made us feel right at home.
There isn't a mooring ball these men couldn't catch! They made sure our every need was taken care of! We had the best vacation ever!
Chef Ariq was superb--a real highlight. Accommodated everyone's food desires, provided 3 nutritious and delicious meals a day, was organized and had lunches and dinners on the table exactly when we wanted them--and could offer early or late breakfast as long as it fit into Captain Rob's sail plan for the day. Would happily sail with him again; we all gained weight.
Captain Rob was great at turning our misty 28 year old memories of our last trip into a real itinerary for this trip--and doing safely and with a flare; and Chef Ariq was an awesome star in the galley.
