Exceeded Expectations
Our time with you exceeded all expectations! You made every moment on and off the boat curated just for us and so special. So many highlights - too many to mention all - but to name a few - the AMAZING food Leslie prepared, RJ's captaining expertise and fun excursions at shore. All of the tiny details did not go unnoticed.
Here's to another round in the Grenadines!!!

We'd Love To Come Back.
Ross, Reid and I had one of the best vacation of our lives. Leslie's cooking was Michelin Star amazing.
RJ was so friendly and accommodating to take my son wake boarding and snorkeling. We enjoyed hikes, Saba Rock, tours of plantation ruins, sunbathing, snorkeling. Both RJ and Leslie are very knowledgeable about the islands and happy to answer all my son's questions. We enjoyed playing games in the evenings.
We'd love to come back!

Definitely A Trip To Remember!
Leslie made food that all of us will miss when we go back and RJ showed us some awesome spots. The weather was fantastic and the Jost beach day at the end was definitely a favorite. We saw the baths, the bubbly pool (and drank some bubbly) along with many more adventures.
We've already been talking about our next visit! It was also really nice that we could connect with RJ and Leslie since we're all fellow Nebraskans. It was a fantastic experience and all of the credit goes to both of them.
Thanks to Leslie, if the apocalypse happens this year we would survive because I think we ate a years worth of amazing food this week.
I am very happy to say we had a fantastic time and we made some new friends that we'll definitely see again. Thank you for everything.
We'll see you again soon.

Amazing Week Aboard
What an amazing week aboard BelieveN! Our family can't thank you enough for the great experiences, hospitality, Michelin Star food, specialty cocktails and island history.
We were cautious about what "living on a boat" would be like. You have easily converted us! Our girls really enjoyed the local beaches, sights and of course all the Instagram opportunities.
We appreciated the level of genuine mid-western hospitality and the care of our family. We've traveled a lot as a family and this trip and your approach to it all has made this a top experience for us an done we truly want to do again. Whether it's the Virgin Islands, Greece or some other outpost we look forward to reconnecting soon. Wishing you all a great and safe sailing season.

A Million Thank You's!!
Most amazing vacation ever (Evah if you are from Boston).
So many firsts for us - eat and sleep on a boat and spending happy hour floating endlessly in the sea. perfect combo of activities (Bubbly pool, snorkeling, sugar cane history, a few drinks ashore and the Piece-De-Resistance: Sandy Spit) balanced by chill time.
Service was amazing at all times and beyond all expectation and the food OMG, the FOOD! Healthy, tasty, lots of TLC in every bite.
Leslie nailed it with wonderful flavor profiles, local seafood and fresh fruit. The cocktail captain mixed a mean mango margarita with fresh mango a la Leslie.

No words!!
No words to describe how wonderful our VI/BVI week has been! We could stay forever. Every single detail was planned and executed beautifully. Leslie's cooking has changed our lives - hopefully for good! RJ's steady hand at the controls gave us complete confidence and ability to truly relax. Their willingness to go ashore and take us to all the "cool" spots made it all that much more fun!
We are already planning our return!!
Sending love and safe travels.

Greatness!
Very sorry to take up a second page of your guest book but the experience requires it. From the first step on the boat, I knew it would be a great trip. On day 7 as we prepare to leave the boat, I now know I underestimated the GREATNESS! Other than our bedroom :) , the boat was spotless the entire trip . Obviously, the condition of our bedroom was caused by us.
RJ's emphasis on safety, his stories of the sea, sharing of knowledge on how everything on the boat works will be remembered forever.
From the table decorations to each and every quality meal, Leslie hit a grand slam with every meal. I would not be able to come up with one suggestion to make the trip better. The laughter, conversation and experiences and good natured fun will be remembered forever as long as I take my memory pills!

20th Anniversary Trip
What an absolutely incredible week on BelieveN! R.J. and Leslie made our 20th anniversary celebration so special and memorable. They are down-to-earth, midwestern polite, and just plain fun! It took no time at all to feel safe and comfortable with them. The food was spectacular, and service was excellent. Our cocktail captain made delicious painkillers and rum punch, and we’re still dreaming about Chef Leslie’s eggroll in a bowl, huevos rancheros, and lobster scampi! We really enjoyed snorkeling in a new spot right from the boat each day. We saw beautiful coral, a variety of fish, and even an octopus! Our favorite excursions off the boat included playing (and winning!) bingo at the Windmill Bar on St John, exploring the beautiful Baths on Virgin Gorda, and jumping from Willy T’s! This was by far our favorite vacation we’ve ever taken!
BELIEVEN
Highly Recommend
We recently chartered BelieveN with our family of four (2 adults, 2 children in grade school) and cannot say enough good things about Leslie and RJ! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel at home and treated us like family. They had been very attentive during our prior conversations/emails and created an amazing itinerary and menu.
We experienced beautiful sunsets, gourmet meals, snorkeling excursions, guided hikes, serene beach days and more. We honestly do not have any negative feedback and would highly recommend BelieveN to anyone looking to have an unforgettable experience in the Virgin Islands!

I will not forget the beautiful waters, the calm of the boat and your kindness.
We hope to see you both on another beautiful trip in the future.
All the best to you both

Life-long Friends
Thank you both for a wonderful experience! You are the most amazing hosts and made our trip easy and incredibly relaxing. It was exactly what we all needed as we left freezing temperatures behind.
We felt very pampered and the food was spectacular!
It was a pleasure to finally get to meet you both and have now made life-long friends.
Thanks also for making Sonya's birthday so special and letting us host the band on our last day. A special thanks to Leslie to allow our "eggplant" flag to fly on the boat to celebrate the Chiefs Super Bowl win!
You both are the best and we will be back!

Next level Of Awesome!
Every day is a new favorite day! As soon as I think "this is the highlight of the trip", the next day somehow achieves a higher level of awesome. Chef Leslie is an inspiration. Captain RJ a trusty sailor. We avoided the snow in Nebraska in the best way possible.
Can't wait to come back.

Amazing Trip
Thank you for an amazing trip. It was so much fun and relaxing. Our 1st trip on a boat was a great experience. The beaches were great, as was the company, and the food was delicious.
Meeting all of your friends and having the boat party was great.
Loved the band and the unicorn :).
I don't have the words ro describe the great time we had!

You Are Simply The Best!
Thank you for simply the best vacation ever! We couldn't imagine a better team to celebrate our 10th anniversary with. You absolutely nailed everything we hoped for and were so much fun to hang with. Your home is beautiful and we're grateful for sharing it with us. The experiences you provided were fantastic, the scenery beautiful, the sailing exceptional, but as with most things in life, the people you do things with make all the difference. You two are simply the best pair and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Until we see you again.....

Until we meet again.

Private and Unique
We cannot thank you enough for all the hospitality you showed us this week. It has felt like the most private and unique experience we've ever had and something we will never forget. Thank you for getting to know us and spend so much time showing us all the best spots.
The food was amazing!. We can be picky and Leslie you knocked it out of the park for us - even making impromptu Alex's favorite dip!
by the end of the week it feels like we're on vacation with good friends and we have truly enjoyed you both so much this week.
We will 100% see you guys again and please come and see us in NC anytime!

Unbelievable Experience!
There isn't enough room on this page or enough words to express our happiness for such an unbelievable experience! Everything was exquisite and first class. We never enjoyed such incredible food and service.
We will always treasure these memories - the laughs, the conversations, the food, the drinks, snorkeling, sites and on and on.....
A week ago we were total strangers and now we are friends and that was an unexpected bonus. You two are incredible people and we feel blessed to have met you and to have shared in your dream.
Thank you for making my "Birthday Float' so special....it was a dream come true and completely unforgettable.
You are about to take me off kicking and screaming and ugly crying when we say goodbye....but we will be back! We can't wait to do this again with you.

Outstanding!
We chose BelieveN and found it amazing. RJ and Leslie are outstanding! The food alone put the vacation over the top. Leslie is a fabulous chef. We loved the opportunity to sail into all the beautiful bays in the USVI and snorkel with the sea turtles and go to sleep with the gentle rocking of the yacht. They made us feel at home instantly and it was perfect! Could not have asked for a better crew!

The most enjoyable part of the trip was getting to know the two of you!
Don't know where to start! Had no idea what to expect. Thank you so much for sharing you “home” with us! The beaches you took us to were all amazing in their own way. We enjoyed the diversity of each and every place you showed us. But I think the most enjoyable part of the trip was getting to know the two of you. Fun, welcoming, accommodating! And the food! Every single meal and snack was amazing, as well as the presentation. Loved the spices and the heat. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

The food was fantastic!!!
Thank you for the fabulous experience. The food was fantastic!!! There was always plenty to eat and drink. The tomkwa was a favorite but it was hard to pick. Favorite activity was just bobbing in the bay and waking up to a different view each day. The service and the attention to detail was perfect. Thank you!

Believen is a beautiful diamond!
Some days I find gems searching the internet and your boat is a brilliant diamond! So happy we we’re able to follow thru and make the trip. Your hospitality was fantastic and all the food and drinks puts your charter above the rest. Thank you for all the details (table settings and all the amenities. Love, loved it!

A great week, with great crew and amazing sites!
It’s been an unforgettable week! We will hold it forever in our memories. These days were unique, special and unforgettable. We felt at home or even better, it was everyday in paradise, with the family. The views, the dinghy, the food, the drinks and how you took charge of us, made a big difference, and it felt really like family. A special mention to Leslie, our Masterchef and her delicious and lovely dishes, full of love and great task. Also RJ, our Captain, guide and host, who was always taking care of every detail and need we might have. Best caipirinha in town!!
In summary, a great week, with great crew and amazing sites!
You will remain in our hearts forever!

Gracious Crew
Thank you for one of our favorite weeks ever! Your attention to detail of each guest is second to none. Our excursions were perfect and well planned. Now the food - best ever! Leslie knocked it out of the park with our meals.
Both RJ and Leslie have been the most gracious crew we could ask for and hope to bring our kids back to join us for another trip.

Was A Blast
You know that saying "third time's a charm"? Well it's true!! This is my third trip to the USVI on charter and it was the best trip YET! You two have the perfect personality for this. Chef Leslie is the BOMB. The meals were scrumptious.
Every activity was a blast from chillin' on the boat, to hikes, to going to dinner, to snorkeling - all of it ...super! I absolutely can't wait to come back SOON
Thank you for having us.
