GAMBIT Yacht Description

2018 Runner Up for Best Multihull under 57ft in the Annual BVI Charter Yacht Show

Gambit is our clean, beautifully appointed Lagoon 500 catamaran, owned and operated personally. We, Doug and Val Fairfield, have been offering charters in the Caribbean since 2014 and would love the opportunity to welcome you to the British Virgin Islands to show you the wonders of one of the world's most sought after cruising destinations. Gambit is flagged and based in the BVI, and is compliant with all VISR regulations, which eliminates uncertainties regarding reliability, entry ports and cruising grounds. Due to Covid as well as the newly enforced commercial charter directives for foreign flagged vessels, there has never been a better time to vacation in the BVI ~ less crowded, more authentic, peaceful and rejuvenating. The following brochure is a sample of what Gambit has to offer ~ please feel free to ask questions and chat to your broker about options. As owner operators, we can be flexible and accommodating. Gambit is available for charter in the BVI from November to July each year. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Advertised by DMA Yachting, the breathtaking charter yacht GAMBIT is a 51 ft sailing catamaran. GAMBIT spends the summer and winter season in British Virgin Islands. She was constructed by the renowned boatbuilder Lagoon in 2008. A succesful refit was fulfilled in 2021. The well-planned yacht layout features 4 large cabins and easily accommodates up to 8 guests.

GAMBIT is introduced primarily as a sailing catamaran. The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck features a variety of seating areas and that's where most of the meals are served. The tastefully decorated cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. The cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant.

Crew Information

Captain: Doug Fairfield

Capt. Doug and Chef Valerie offer the perfect blend of warmth, hospitality and adventure. A husband and wife team from South Africa, with many years combined cruising, travel and charter experience. To date, Doug and Val have successfully completed over 200 charters in the Caribbean making them one of the most experienced charter crew in the region.

Doug holds a Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification, reinforced with many ocean crossings and coastal voyages. Doug started sailing in his mid twenties, based off the east coast of South Africa, where sailing and weather conditions are notoriously unpredictable and the coastline hazardous. Having grown up on the ocean with surfing, free diving, spear fishing, scuba diving, sailing and yacht racing as his main activities; sailing charters was a natural progression for him. Weekends were occupied with local and coastal racing as well as family sailing with the children. In 1995, in pursuit of our joint ambition to travel to remote places, we left on an extended 6 year cruise aboard our 30 foot yacht together with our two children, then 4 and 6 years old. This adventure took us across the Indian Ocean and back to South Africa, and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. During our cruising years we explored remote archipelagos, traveled by yacht many miles up the Amazon River, visited new and unique places, experienced diverse cultures and were exposed to many and varied challenges and opportunities. In 2012, the urge to travel again resulted in the acquisition of Katlyn, our first catamaran, and once again we set off across the Atlantic from Cape Town, spending a year en route, before establishing ourselves in the charter industry in the Caribbean. Along the way we have redeveloped our awareness, appreciation and respect for the ocean, the sky and the weather in all its diversity. In 2018, we upgraded and purchased Gambit, our current charter catamaran, and brought her 4500nm from Italy to the Caribbean.

Doug has been an avid adventure, sport enthusiast throughout his life. After several years of service in a special forces airborne unit, he became involved in Skydiving. He is an advanced skydiver with 2500 jumps, competed on a national level and was the chief instructor at his skydive club prior to his involvement with sailing; he is an experienced paraglider, loves scuba and free diving, as well as water and snow skiing and has completed a number of arduous long distance marathons. He is a natural storyteller and entertainer with a great sense of humor, a charismatic and attentive host, willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your vacation whilst ensuring your privacy when appropriate.

Val grew up on a vast dairy farm in the Drakensberg farming district of South Africa, and attended boarding school, before qualifying as a private secretary and then a primary school teacher. She traded horse riding and hiking for sailing, and was perfectly positioned to home school the children while cruising. She is a qualified scuba diver, and enjoys snorkeling, skiing and hiking, and living the island life. She takes pride and pleasure in creating inviting spaces through tasteful choice and use of fabrics and decor, and is an accomplished seamstress. This is evident in the decor aboard Gambit. Many years of monohull sailing and galley responsibilities have enabled her to become a competent and creative chef aboard, fine tuned by various short courses in the culinary arts and bolstered with hundreds of satisfied charter guests.

Doug and Val have a passion for traveling and a special affinity for the African bush, it’s wildlife, beauty, solitude and wide open spaces, and have been fortunate to do an extended three month 4x4 camping safari with roof top tent through some of the most unspoiled and rugged areas of Southern Africa. The freedom of traveling without boundaries inspired a six week camper van tour of New Zealand, wild camping without the constraints of official campsites in the winter wonderland of mountains and fjords. During this time we took the opportunity to try our hand at dog sledding, abseiling and caving. We have spent a month touring Sri Lanka traveling by train and staying in local B&B’s, visited Egypt and driven off the beaten track through the Western Desert, camping in the splendor of the White Desert en route. We have driven across the USA and would love to follow this up with a longer RV trip in the not to distant future.
After 17 years of sailing together, we team up on deck to offer you a fun filled sailing vacation, and when the anchor is down, a companionable, relaxed yet attentive atmosphere is created for you to escape your normal routine and create memories which will live with you forever.

We would love the opportunity to extend a warm welcome to you in the BVI, offer you our hospitality aboard Gambit, and show you around some of our lovely anchorages and must see spots that we’ve come to call home.

Crew are fully vaccinated for Covid 19.

The Kirby Clan

Wow, what a fantastic week! The balance of activity and relaxation was great. Val's meals were amazing, evidenced by clean plates at every meal. A. lot to say for a family of six with a variety of diets. Doug was a fun and active guide who taught us all diving skills and led us on many adventures over the week. His encouragement and skill-building had us achieving awesome depths with confidence. Very cool. Highlights included Mountain Point, The Indians, Anegada Conch Tour, many white sand beaches and more. Thanks for an amazing trip and holiday!

Simply doing nothing!

We had a delightful time relaxing and simply doing nothing! Food was delicious and I tried new foods and can't wait to get back and try the new techniques and food. Doug, your stories were wonderful and thank you for encouraging me to jump in and snorkel with the 'big' fish. I would have regretted not going. We hope to catch you in the Grenadines....

Relaxing and Island Hopping

This has been a holiday of a lifetime. We have enjoyed relaxing, island hopping and snorkeling. I have never seen Joe so relaxed. The stunning colors of the water and pure white sands have been a site that you never get tired of. The weather has been perfect. Our hosts Val and Doug have been exactly as we wanted, attentive but blending into the background when needed. Did I mention the food? Yummo! Cannot thank you both enough.

Bat Cave Enthusiast

I had an absolute blast on this trip. It was the best vacation I have ever been on. Val, your cooking was absolutely divine, better than some of the fanciest restaurants I've been to. I enjoyed every single bite! Doug, thank you so much for taking us on all the adventures. The hike through the bat cave was one of the coolest I've ever been on. Thanks for making me jump off the cliff, it was exhilarating! And the snorkels were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for everything. I will never forget this trip:) Also I loved your accents!

60 Never felt so good!

To our new friends, Doug and Val, 60 never felt so good! What a super-fantastic week. The BVI are so beautiful and we had so much fun. With none of us having done a charter before, we had no idea what to expect, but the two of you made this trip so incredible special. Favorite moments not to be forgotten: drunk animals, dinghy trips. color of water, barefoot hikes, fish and coral, smiles and sense of humor.

Thank you for showing us the beautiful BVI. It was an incredible adventure, one we will not forget and hope to do again soon......maybe in the Grenadines. The meals every day were beyond delicious, we were spoiled. We loved being on Gambit, what a well appointed boat that is clearly taken such good care of. All the different places we set sail to were a spectacular experience and the snorkeling was of the best we've ever had. It was wonderful to be taken care of for the week by two people who clearly know the BVI best.

A true revelation

I guess we could spend a lot of time trying to imagine how you could have made our trip more perfect, but it would have been a waste of mental energy!! We have bare-boated in the BVI for 40 years, mostly on our own catamaran, and you managed to show us beautiful anchorages we had never considered. A True Revelation!! The food and hospitality were amazing. You managed to handle Anne-Marie's food allergies while making gourmet meals for all of us. It was a trip that will span a lifetime of memories.

We can't thank you enough for all the hospitality and good food as well as the good times we had this week on Gambit. It was a week that we will always look back on fondly. We will think of you when we play dice and have a big email on our faces. We hope to sail the BVI with you again.

How did a week go by so quickly?

Though we all came to this trip with different expectations, hopes and anxieties, our family is leaving this boat with a shared feeling of deep gratitude. We are baffled as to how a week went by so quickly. You make a bunch of land-locked Americans wish we were pirates!! Thank you both so mush for a truly fantastic week. We loved the islands, the snorkeling, the boat and the amazing food - but all agree that the best part was getting to know and love the two of you. You made us feel like well loved family members. We hope this is not good bye, but rather 'see you soon'. Thanks again

Journeys and Discoveries

WOW! What a wonderful and memorable experience aboard Gambit with you both. Having regularly cruised the BVI since our honeymoon 35 years ago,, we were introduced to so many new experiences both on the water and from Val's amazing 5 Star galley. The diversity, creativity, presentation and freshness were present in every meal. The wonderful aromas and flavors that flowed from the galley to our plates we will remember forever. Your stories of your family's journeys and discoveries around the globe read like one adventure novel and we were honored to hear them directly from the authors. Just when we thought we knew every anchorage in the BVI, Doug would surprise us with a new one that would be better than the last. We will remember this vacation forever! Thank you!

Some trepidation...

That will be the thing we take with us and always remember. Thank you for everything.

One year ago we percolated this plan to spend a week with good friends and four teenagers in the BVI with Val and Doug. Anticipations ran high, as did worry over all the restrictions and travel issues - would covid keep us away? Lucky for us we descended on Gambit and spent an amazing week swimming with fishes, turtles, spotted rays and dolphins. We ate amazing food, saw incredible scenery, drank (too much (:), and reunited with great friends and enjoyed quality time with our kids. And what do we say about Val and Doug? You guys were incredible hosts, and inspirational, and love... I could go on for days. We are eternally thankful for the gift we have given us this week - rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of being cared for. We wish you the best for your upcoming chapters.

A floating toy box

We are most grateful for what has been a fabulous adventure! We truly enjoyed your extensive knowledge of the Bvi, it's islands, it's people, it's creatures below and even the stars above. You have mastered the life aquatic and we thoroughly enjoyed the ride! The meals so thoughtfully crafted by Val were fantastic and Dou's seamanship impressive. Gambit is a floating toy box full of it's own treasures, from paddling to snorkeling to the joy that was watching kids hang onto a speeding tube. We thank you sincerely for sharing your world with us, even only one week has reset us on a peaceful path and from here we'll just keep looking for the Southern Cross
With gratitude,
Matt, Jill, Finn and Rory

On the 13th June, 2022.....

On the 13th June, 2022, Captain Doug and I, Jacob, handily vanquished my plain, rowdy, vehement wife Trish and her lowly unadvantageous partner Frank at Cornhole, 10-6 final score. According to Trish, Captain and I will one day stride victorious and gratified through the gates of Valhalla to re-unite with Doug's own previous self, Viking Doug. Our lives were of value to Odin. Gratefully, Jacob and Trish

Extraordinary

This excursion has been extraordinary. Has been on Tom and my bucket list and it has been amazing. The food, the experience in each stop and the graciousness of the two of you. Loved chatting and sharing experiences in our everyday lives back home. I know Tom loved helping Doug sail and learned even more about sailing from him. You both are masters and we wish you all the luck in the future sails as this one was tops! Thank you and sure we will keep tabs on your exciting journeys.

Doug, Val and Gambit ~ While our week has come to a close, the memories will last a lifetime. You are two very special people with the gift of making everyone feel comfortable and welcome aboard Gambit. We have waited a long time to share this experience with our children, and it was perfect. From diving, snorkeling, cliff jumping, the swim thru, tubing, paddle boards and kayaks to our land adventures it was all amazing. It was very special to be able to include my parents as well, I know this is not something they would have done on their own. Val - you pour yourself into those incredible meals and the family time spent around the table enjoying them was good for the soul. Thank you! We truly appreciate you both & very much hope to see you again very soon!!! Much love to your growing family and have a fun year ahead ~ Beth, Lance, Gavin, Dick, Alice, Ashlyn

Covid concerns drift away

With the challenges of covid and apprehension palpable in seven travelers, our broker Lynne and especially our Captain Doug calmed nerves and showed us the path to enter the BVI, even as it changed often. Once we boarded, a sense of calm came over us all. During our week we enjoyed many great meals which Val prepared, as well as island drinks prepared by Doug. We roamed from Tortola to Peter to Norman to Jost and little Jost, through the Dogs to Virgin Gorda and Anegada. Every island afforded us new adventures above and below the water. Soggy is always a favorite, as was Anegada lobsters. Driving a moke on the wrong side of the road wasn't too scary. Various snorkeling sites and tubing gave the kids great adventures. Doug and Val will provide you an adventure to remember. Determine your 'wants' and Doug and Val will craft you week ~ Matt

GAMBIT

Great Expectations

A trip to the islands brings great expectations. You have exceeded all expectations. For the last week we have been living in paradise and this all thanks to you. We all so appreciate how concerned you were about fulfilling every need and asking if we were happy. The meals were exceptional and the diving beyond compare! This was a vacation we'll be talking about for the rest of our lives. Thank you for a trip to treasure and remember ~ Cady & Jerry

It was our 3rd BVI trip. All have been memorable but you went above and beyond. Believe me when I say we noticed all the 'behind-the-scenes' hard work and 'extras'. Doug, thank you for getting me out of my comfort zone and taking me diving ~ Robert, Joseph, Reggie & Wendy

A Gra'n'd trip by the Grad family

Letter to the broker ~ "We could not be happier with your recommendation of team Gambit/Doug and Val. Early on in our selection process, you stated that I should first find a crew with bio's that seemed to be a fit with what we were looking for, and then secondly, see if we liked the boat. That was absolutely the best travel advice ever. When I selected Doug and Val at your suggestion, I really didn't yet understand how excellent your guidance was.

They are the ultimate hosts/experts to host a yacht vacation. Their easy warm style, great conversation and communication, sense of humor, world travel experience, nautical knowledge, bartending and culinary skills were all truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations. My family was just blown away every day of this trip.

Doug did a great job manuevering bad weather and managed to find the perfect and interesting anchorages every single day. He's happy to share his marine knowledge both above and below sea level and always has a great story to tell. What an interesting guy! We could have talked with him non-stop for weeks!

Val is a gem. While she comes across as quiet and unassuming, she was quick to get in on our family jokes and humor and truly helped take things to a whole other level that our gang will not soon forget. She works hard in the tiniest galley preparing thoughtful, well presented gourment food without it being too fancy. It was a real treat to be surprised everyday with the question and answer of "Gee.....What do you think she's making for lunch or dinner?" My family and I are real foodies and truly appreciated the labor of love she put into each meal. The whole food and dining experience was simply sophisticated and far exceeded our expectations.

I could go on and on raving about this trip. Simply a perfect 10. We can't wait to sail with Doug and Val again, and thanks for your terrific guidance and answering my dozens of questions. It was the most memorable birthday for me! ~ Marc

What a fabulous & unforgettable trip ~ certainly made turning "60" a lot easier. We will treasure the memories we've made until we meet again! Much love, Myriam, Marc, Max, Mara, Stuie & Judy

You guys were the most fun ever - both are you are now part of the memories that will last forever ~ Stuie

Vicki and Dan's Grenadines adventure

Cape Doug and Admiral Val! What an incredible journey you led us through. Thank you for the hospitality, the stories and the delicious meals. We will never forget the turtles, the sunsets and the island hopping! You made the adventure on the Gambit. We have had the fortune of some really fun and adventurous vacations, but this is right up there as one of the best. Thanks for the memories, they will be shared!!

Paul, Annika, Bill & Jen explore the Grenadines

We have had an absolutely fantastic four days on your lovely boat. A big big thank you from each of us for fabulous food, sailing, snorkeling, fun, knowledge and games. We've really appreciated your attention to detail, gracious hosting and the wealth of knowledge you have passed on.

July 2018

The boat is extremely luxurious and beautifully outfitted and decorated. Bedrooms are roomy and peaceful, bathrooms modern and pretty. The boat is beautiful under sail. The communal areas are huge - plenty of space to relax without crowding and so much deck space for everyone to choose their favorite nook.
The meals were truly restaurant quality-delicious and beautifully presented - with wines to compliment. Afternoon cocktails would appear miraculously after a day of snorkeling and exploring little bays and coves.
But by far the best part of chartering Gambit was the wonderful duo of captain/first mate- Doug and Val. Two fine sailors and hosts who really care about the sort of vacation their guests have.
They listened to our needs and wants and tailored the most wonderful week of watery fun filled activities and sights- knowing that we wanted to do nothing more than relax with our families and have lots of new experiences.

They planned each day with us the night before - and gave us the time to do nothing if that's what we wanted - plus their stories of life on the sea were entrancing and we shared many a laugh with these wonderfully easy going South Africans.

My family and I would vacation on the Gambit again - and plan to !

Third time was a charm! After two previous boat cancelled, you saved the day, and how lucky we are that you did! We could not have asked for a more perfect week - delicious beautifully served meals, gorgeous anchorages, a multitude of fun activities, rummikub, snorkeling adventures, and best of all....giving Daniel the ongoing good-natured ribbing. You are the best. So glad to now count you both as friends. Until next time! - The Bonds

Thank you for always going the extra mile, like taking me to the Belgium soccer game, teaching me new card games, and overall giving me an amazing time - Emily

To say we had a wonderful trip is an understatement! There are no words to describe how amazing our week in the BVI was and Doug and Val were absolutely phenomenal! Life changing trip with so many wise words shared with Doug and Val - Dory

Doug and Val - fate brought us together for our very first visit to the BVI. We are blessed to come away from this trip knowing you as 'crew' but as friends too. We wish you the very best - you have your life priorities in perfect alignment. Until we meet again - the Bergmans

It was providence that brought you to us....a perfect combination for fun and relaxation. We had a great week with fabulous food and wonderful snorkeling. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!! - the Richards

Barbara and Fabian, Andy and Sylvia

When we thought about returning to Katlyn in March 2017 to explore the new area Doug and Val are sailing - the BVIs - we all agreed that this time we'd have to stay longer and hence booked without a minute of hesitation a two-weeks cruise with them. And again, and even more, we felt at home the moment Doug picked us up at the airport. Again, we spent the most wonderful and relaxed days on board - being active with swimming, snorkling, stand-up paddling and going for hikes, but also being lazy on board, having drinks together and of course enjoying again all the awesome meals that lovely Val prepared for us. We loved to sit together in the evenings to chat and listen to the stories Doug and Val could tell from their long sailing and travelling experience and truly felt like staying with friends. After two weeks it was even harder to say goodbye than the first time, but we'll always cherish the wonderful memories of this amazing time and keep all of it deep in our hearts.
Sailing the Caribbean with Doug and Val is a great holiday experience that is impossible to match!

As an almost full-time traveler, this has been a trip of a lifetime for me! It was made so by the excellent personalities of the crew - Val and Doug Fairfield. They are self motivated to make your charter a very successful one! You cannot find better people to work with!

Doug emphasizes safety measures, leads various hikes, and keeps up on various ships maintenance work. Val's meals are done from scratch and are very tasty. The boat is in outstanding shape.

Barry, Robyn, Brooklyn and Weston

We boarded your beautiful Katlyn as strangers and instantly became friends and family! We are so thankful God chose for our paths to cross!

Jay and Shawna, with Sierra, Laiken and Carsen

Where to begin?! Thank you both for everything. So much thought and consideration was put towards making sure our trip was perfect. We can’t thank you enough for the ‘hands on’ experience. The sailing, snorkeling, the food and overall hospitality was top notch. As a stated in our thank you card to you both, we thank you for the wonderful family memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for making our 50th Wedding Anniversary so amazing! Katlyn is such a special boat and we will always remember our time with you. From quiet times to sundowners and Val’s amazing meals – all I can say is WOW! We loved watching your teamwork, Captain Doug and Val’s skills at guiding us to a buoy. Please come to south Carolina – free golf! ~ Ray and Pam

“Beautiful waters, great sailing days, super snorkeling, baths, bubbly pool, 5 star breakfast, lunch and dinners, snacks, refreshing drinks, sweet Katlyn, and the manner in which you served us….all well beyond measure!! And yet you offered us even more! Your love for your country, the love of your family, your desire to treat all with dignity and honor, and the obvious commitment, respect and love for each other! We feel fortunate and blessed to have crossed paths with you two! Our hope is to see you again. If you are ever near Texas…..(golf included)! ~ Nawanda and Dean

Incredible sights, amazing memories and 10lbs extra…..all this we gained on this trip! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

We will never forget the great times we had on this trip and look forward to doing it again in the Grenadines someday soon!

Words cannot begin to express what a beautiful, marvelous time we had aboard Katlyn! Despite rough seas, lost airline luggage and the appearance of ‘Murphy’ a few times, you made our voyage unforgettable! The food was superb (thank you Val), the drinks were always flowing (thank you Doug). Our conversations meant a lot – you are truly the models for the best hostess and captain – I am sure you taught your 2 beautiful children the same. I am happy we shared our card games – that was such fun! Thank you, God bless you both and your family – have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year – I am sure we will be back ~ Bob and Rose

Amazing trip! It was a time to remember for sure! I loved the stories you guys have. You are amazing people and I am positive you will have a delightful life counting backwards from 80. Thank you for introducing me to new foods and drinks, and completely superb places like the pools. I learned a lot within these few short days and experienced such beautiful things with great people. Thank you so so much ~ Jordan

Barbara and Fabian, Andy and Sylvia

All of us were for the first time on a catamaran cruise and for the first time in the Caribbean when we first boarded Katlyn in April 2015 - and we were completely and utterly overwhelmed. Not only by the outstanding natural beauty of the Grenadine islands, but also by the kind, personal and in every respect exceptional hospitality of our lovely hosts Doug and Val, who made us feel at home from the very first minute and made every day another day in paradise! Each day, Doug untiringly selected most beautiful islands and beaches for us to explore, took us to mindblowing snorkling spots (we'll never, never forget Tobago Cays!), and Val spoiled us with the most amazing meals she produced with a lot of love and creativity in the tiny galley on board Katlyn.
The week we spent on board exceeded all (already high) expectations, and we were literally in tears when we had to leave much too soon.

wpcf_crew: a:16:{s:4:"info";s:5136:"Capt. Doug and Chef Valerie offer the perfect blend of warmth, hospitality and adventure. A husband and wife team from South Africa, with many years combined cruising, travel and charter experience. To date, Doug and Val have successfully completed over 200 charters in the Caribbean making them one of the most experienced charter crew in the region.<br /> <br /> Doug holds a Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification, reinforced with many ocean crossings and coastal voyages. Doug started sailing in his mid twenties, based off the east coast of South Africa, where sailing and weather conditions are notoriously unpredictable and the coastline hazardous. Having grown up on the ocean with surfing, free diving, spear fishing, scuba diving, sailing and yacht racing as his main activities; sailing charters was a natural progression for him. Weekends were occupied with local and coastal racing as well as family sailing with the children. In 1995, in pursuit of our joint ambition to travel to remote places, we left on an extended 6 year cruise aboard our 30 foot yacht together with our two children, then 4 and 6 years old. This adventure took us across the Indian Ocean and back to South Africa, and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. During our cruising years we explored remote archipelagos, traveled by yacht many miles up the Amazon River, visited new and unique places, experienced diverse cultures and were exposed to many and varied challenges and opportunities. In 2012, the urge to travel again resulted in the acquisition of Katlyn, our first catamaran, and once again we set off across the Atlantic from Cape Town, spending a year en route, before establishing ourselves in the charter industry in the Caribbean. Along the way we have redeveloped our awareness, appreciation and respect for the ocean, the sky and the weather in all its diversity. In 2018, we upgraded and purchased Gambit, our current charter catamaran, and brought her 4500nm from Italy to the Caribbean.<br /> <br /> Doug has been an avid adventure, sport enthusiast throughout his life. After several years of service in a special forces airborne unit, he became involved in Skydiving. He is an advanced skydiver with 2500 jumps, competed on a national level and was the chief instructor at his skydive club prior to his involvement with sailing; he is an experienced paraglider, loves scuba and free diving, as well as water and snow skiing and has completed a number of arduous long distance marathons. He is a natural storyteller and entertainer with a great sense of humor, a charismatic and attentive host, willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your vacation whilst ensuring your privacy when appropriate. <br /> <br /> Val grew up on a vast dairy farm in the Drakensberg farming district of South Africa, and attended boarding school, before qualifying as a private secretary and then a primary school teacher. She traded horse riding and hiking for sailing, and was perfectly positioned to home school the children while cruising. She is a qualified scuba diver, and enjoys snorkeling, skiing and hiking, and living the island life. She takes pride and pleasure in creating inviting spaces through tasteful choice and use of fabrics and decor, and is an accomplished seamstress. This is evident in the decor aboard Gambit. Many years of monohull sailing and galley responsibilities have enabled her to become a competent and creative chef aboard, fine tuned by various short courses in the culinary arts and bolstered with hundreds of satisfied charter guests. <br /> <br /> Doug and Val have a passion for traveling and a special affinity for the African bush, it’s wildlife, beauty, solitude and wide open spaces, and have been fortunate to do an extended three month 4x4 camping safari with roof top tent through some of the most unspoiled and rugged areas of Southern Africa. The freedom of traveling without boundaries inspired a six week camper van tour of New Zealand, wild camping without the constraints of official campsites in the winter wonderland of mountains and fjords. During this time we took the opportunity to try our hand at dog sledding, abseiling and caving. We have spent a month touring Sri Lanka traveling by train and staying in local B&B’s, visited Egypt and driven off the beaten track through the Western Desert, camping in the splendor of the White Desert en route. We have driven across the USA and would love to follow this up with a longer RV trip in the not to distant future.<br /> After 17 years of sailing together, we team up on deck to offer you a fun filled sailing vacation, and when the anchor is down, a companionable, relaxed yet attentive atmosphere is created for you to escape your normal routine and create memories which will live with you forever. <br /> <br /> We would love the opportunity to extend a warm welcome to you in the BVI, offer you our hospitality aboard Gambit, and show you around some of our lovely anchorages and must see spots that we’ve come to call home.<br /> <br /> Crew are fully vaccinated for Covid 19.";s:5:"photo";s:81:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495brochure44.jpg";s:4:"size";s:1:"2";s:12:"captain_name";s:14:"Doug Fairfield";s:14:"captain_nation";s:13:"South African";s:12:"captain_born";s:1:"0";s:15:"captain_license";s:46:"MCA/RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, PADI Dive Master";s:18:"captain_yr_sailing";s:1:"0";s:21:"captain_yr_chartering";s:1:"0";s:17:"captain_languages";s:12:"English Only";s:9:"crew_name";s:17:"Valerie Fairfield";s:16:"crew_nationality";s:13:"South African";s:12:"crew_license";s:0:"";s:15:"crew_yr_sailing";s:1:"0";s:18:"crew_yr_chartering";s:1:"0";s:7:"crewimg";a:4:{i:3;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495crew3.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:0:"";}i:4;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495crew4.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:0:"";}i:5;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495crew5.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:0:"";}i:6;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495crew6.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:0:"";}}}

Doug and Chef Valerie offer the perfect blend of warmth, hospitality and adventure. A husband and wife team from South Africa, with many years combined cruising, travel and charter experience. To date, Doug and Val have successfully completed over 200 charters in the Caribbean making them one of the most experienced charter crew in the region.<br /> <br /> Doug holds a Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification, reinforced with many ocean crossings and coastal voyages. Doug started sailing in his mid twenties, based off the east coast of South Africa, where sailing and weather conditions are notoriously unpredictable and the coastline hazardous. Having grown up on the ocean with surfing, free diving, spear fishing, scuba diving, sailing and yacht racing as his main activities; sailing charters was a natural progression for him. Weekends were occupied with local and coastal racing as well as family sailing with the children. In 1995, in pursuit of our joint ambition to travel to remote places, we left on an extended 6 year cruise aboard our 30 foot yacht together with our two children, then 4 and 6 years old. This adventure took us across the Indian Ocean and back to South Africa, and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. During our cruising years we explored remote archipelagos, traveled by yacht many miles up the Amazon River, visited new and unique places, experienced diverse cultures and were exposed to many and varied challenges and opportunities. In 2012, the urge to travel again resulted in the acquisition of Katlyn, our first catamaran, and once again we set off across the Atlantic from Cape Town, spending a year en route, before establishing ourselves in the charter industry in the Caribbean. Along the way we have redeveloped our awareness, appreciation and respect for the ocean, the sky and the weather in all its diversity. In 2018, we upgraded and purchased Gambit, our current charter catamaran, and brought her 4500nm from Italy to the Caribbean.<br /> <br /> Doug has been an avid adventure, sport enthusiast throughout his life. After several years of service in a special forces airborne unit, he became involved in Skydiving. He is an advanced skydiver with 2500 jumps, competed on a national level and was the chief instructor at his skydive club prior to his involvement with sailing; he is an experienced paraglider, loves scuba and free diving, as well as water and snow skiing and has completed a number of arduous long distance marathons. He is a natural storyteller and entertainer with a great sense of humor, a charismatic and attentive host, willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your vacation whilst ensuring your privacy when appropriate. <br /> <br /> Val grew up on a vast dairy farm in the Drakensberg farming district of South Africa, and attended boarding school, before qualifying as a private secretary and then a primary school teacher. She traded horse riding and hiking for sailing, and was perfectly positioned to home school the children while cruising. She is a qualified scuba diver, and enjoys snorkeling, skiing and hiking, and living the island life. She takes pride and pleasure in creating inviting spaces through tasteful choice and use of fabrics and decor, and is an accomplished seamstress. This is evident in the decor aboard Gambit. Many years of monohull sailing and galley responsibilities have enabled her to become a competent and creative chef aboard, fine tuned by various short courses in the culinary arts and bolstered with hundreds of satisfied charter guests. <br /> <br /> Doug and Val have a passion for traveling and a special affinity for the African bush, it’s wildlife, beauty, solitude and wide open spaces, and have been fortunate to do an extended three month 4x4 camping safari with roof top tent through some of the most unspoiled and rugged areas of Southern Africa. The freedom of traveling without boundaries inspired a six week camper van tour of New Zealand, wild camping without the constraints of official campsites in the winter wonderland of mountains and fjords.

Anticipations ran high, as did worry over all the restrictions and travel issues - would covid keep us away? Lucky for us we descended on Gambit and spent an amazing week swimming with fishes, turtles, spotted rays and dolphins. We ate amazing food, saw incredible scenery, drank (too much (:), and reunited with great friends and enjoyed quality time with our kids. And what do we say about Val and Doug? You guys were incredible hosts, and inspirational, and love... I could go on for days. We are eternally thankful for the gift we have given us this week - rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of being cared for.

We roamed from Tortola to Peter to Norman to Jost and little Jost, through the Dogs to Virgin Gorda and Anegada. Every island afforded us new adventures above and below the water. Soggy is always a favorite, as was Anegada lobsters. Driving a moke on the wrong side of the road wasn't too scary. Various snorkeling sites and tubing gave the kids great adventures.

Early on in our selection process, you stated that I should first find a crew with bio's that seemed to be a fit with what we were looking for, and then secondly, see if we liked the boat. That was absolutely the best travel advice ever. When I selected Doug and Val at your suggestion, I really didn't yet understand how excellent your guidance was.<br /> <br /> They are the ultimate hosts/experts to host a yacht vacation. Their easy warm style, great conversation and communication, sense of humor, world travel experience, nautical knowledge, bartending and culinary skills were all truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations. My family was just blown away every day of this trip. <br /> <br /> Doug did a great job manuevering bad weather and managed to find the perfect and interesting anchorages every single day. He's happy to share his marine knowledge both above and below sea level and always has a great story to tell. What an interesting guy! We could have talked with him non-stop for weeks!<br /> <br /> Val is a gem. While she comes across as quiet and unassuming, she was quick to get in on our family jokes and humor and truly helped take things to a whole other level that our gang will not soon forget. She works hard in the tiniest galley preparing thoughtful, well presented gourment food without it being too fancy. It was a real treat to be surprised everyday with the question and answer of "Gee.....What do you think she's making for lunch or dinner?" My family and I are real foodies and truly appreciated the labor of love she put into each meal. The whole food and dining experience was simply sophisticated and far exceeded our expectations.<br /> <br /> I could go on and on raving about this trip. Simply a perfect 10. We can't wait to sail with Doug and Val again, and thanks for your terrific guidance and answering my dozens of questions. It was the most memorable birthday for me! ~ Marc<br /> <br /> What a fabulous & unforgettable trip ~ certainly made turning "60" a lot easier.

And again, and even more, we felt at home the moment Doug picked us up at the airport. Again, we spent the most wonderful and relaxed days on board - being active with swimming, snorkling, stand-up paddling and going for hikes, but also being lazy on board, having drinks together and of course enjoying again all the awesome meals that lovely Val prepared for us. We loved to sit together in the evenings to chat and listen to the stories Doug and Val could tell from their long sailing and travelling experience and truly felt like staying with friends. After two weeks it was even harder to say goodbye than the first time, but we'll always cherish the wonderful memories of this amazing time and keep all of it deep in our hearts.<br /> Sailing the Caribbean with Doug and Val is a great holiday experience that is impossible to match! <br /> ";s:12:"yachtGC116P1";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-1.jpg";s:12:"yachtGC116P2";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-2.jpg";s:12:"yachtGC116P3";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-3.jpg";s:15:"yachtGC117Title";s:7:"Charlie";s:10:"yachtGC117";s:492:"<br /> As an almost full-time traveler, this has been a trip of a lifetime for me!

The following brochure is a sample of what Gambit has to offer ~ please feel free to ask questions and chat to your broker about options. As owner operators, we can be flexible and accommodating. Gambit is available for charter in the BVI from November to July each year. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!<br /> </p><p>Advertised by DMA Yachting, the breathtaking charter yacht GAMBIT is a 51 ft sailing catamaran.

The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck features a variety of seating areas and that's where most of the meals are served.

We have bare-boated in the BVI for 40 years, mostly on our own catamaran, and you managed to show us beautiful anchorages we had never considered. A True Revelation!! The food and hospitality were amazing. You managed to handle Anne-Marie's food allergies while making gourmet meals for all of us. It was a trip that will span a lifetime of memories.<br /> Richard & Anne-Marie</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Dices away</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We can't thank you enough for all the hospitality and good food as well as the good times we had this week on Gambit.

We loved the islands, the snorkeling, the boat and the amazing food - but all agree that the best part was getting to know and love the two of you. You made us feel like well loved family members.

What a wonderful and memorable experience aboard Gambit with you both. Having regularly cruised the BVI since our honeymoon 35 years ago,, we were introduced to so many new experiences both on the water and from Val's amazing 5 Star galley. The diversity, creativity, presentation and freshness were present in every meal. The wonderful aromas and flavors that flowed from the galley to our plates we will remember forever. Your stories of your family's journeys and discoveries around the globe read like one adventure novel and we were honored to hear them directly from the authors. Just when we thought we knew every anchorage in the BVI, Doug would surprise us with a new one that would be better than the last. We will remember this vacation forever!

Anticipations ran high, as did worry over all the restrictions and travel issues - would covid keep us away? Lucky for us we descended on Gambit and spent an amazing week swimming with fishes, turtles, spotted rays and dolphins. We ate amazing food, saw incredible scenery, drank (too much (:), and reunited with great friends and enjoyed quality time with our kids. And what do we say about Val and Doug? You guys were incredible hosts, and inspirational, and love... I could go on for days. We are eternally thankful for the gift we have given us this week - rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of being cared for. We wish you the best for your upcoming chapters. <br /> The Pelletier gang</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>A floating toy box</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We are most grateful for what has been a fabulous adventure! We truly enjoyed your extensive knowledge of the Bvi, it's islands, it's people, it's creatures below and even the stars above. You have mastered the life aquatic and we thoroughly enjoyed the ride! The meals so thoughtfully crafted by Val were fantastic and Dou's seamanship impressive. Gambit is a floating toy box full of it's own treasures, from paddling to snorkeling to the joy that was watching kids hang onto a speeding tube. We thank you sincerely for sharing your world with us, even only one week has reset us on a peaceful path and from here we'll just keep looking for the Southern Cross<br /> With gratitude, <br /> Matt, Jill, Finn and Rory</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>5 Star!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thank you so much for an amazing trip!

We could not have had a better experience that you provided for us. This has truly been a once in a lifetime that my family and I will definitely remember and treasure ~ Eric</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>The Easterleys blew in</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thanks for a wonderful trip, we could not have been happier with the sail, the food and the hosts! You truly know how to put on a 1st class charter. But most enjoyable was getting to know you both and having the opportunity to live a life experience with fun hosts and guests. Cheers! Prost! Oogee Wawa ~ Bets & Tom<br /> <br /> I was a bit hesitant about spending a week on a boat with eight people. It was amazing though. Val and Doug made the trip so special - the food, friendship and great sailing. Lifetime experience for sure ~ <br /> <br /> It was a trip of a lifetime! Val and Doug, you could not have been sweeter or more accommodating. You have a wealth of knowledge about the area and we enjoyed the charter so much ~ Tom & Janice<br /> <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Tennessee visitors</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Huge thank you Val and Doug for making our vacation so special. This was a week we will never forget. The diving was spectacular and we appreciate the encouragement to take the leap off the rock. You are special people. Best, Sean & Amanda<br /> <br /> This week has been truly amazing! We have had the best time getting to know you both. the food was sensational, as were the sights.

We felt at home on Gambit and loved the food, hospitality, activities and jokes.

The kids love your recipes, eating things they never would at home! And Doug, the quotes and advice to the kids really does stick! they remember much from 2018. We can't thank you enough ~ Lydia & Saylars!<br /> <br /> Well we're completing our 2nd trip of a lifetime with you! It's nice to know we have another family on the other side of the world - I have a feeling you haven't seen the last of us!! ~ Felicity, Leo & Claudia</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Covid concerns drift away</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>With the challenges of covid and apprehension palpable in seven travelers, our broker Lynne and especially our Captain Doug calmed nerves and showed us the path to enter the BVI, even as it changed often. Once we boarded, a sense of calm came over us all. During our week we enjoyed many great meals which Val prepared, as well as island drinks prepared by Doug. We roamed from Tortola to Peter to Norman to Jost and little Jost, through the Dogs to Virgin Gorda and Anegada. Every island afforded us new adventures above and below the water. Soggy is always a favorite, as was Anegada lobsters. Driving a moke on the wrong side of the road wasn't too scary. Various snorkeling sites and tubing gave the kids great adventures. Doug and Val will provide you an adventure to remember. Determine your 'wants' and Doug and Val will craft you week ~ Matt</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Great Expectations</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>A trip to the islands brings great expectations. You have exceeded all expectations. For the last week we have been living in paradise and this all thanks to you. We all so appreciate how concerned you were about fulfilling every need and asking if we were happy. The meals were exceptional and the diving beyond compare! This was a vacation we'll be talking about for the rest of our lives. Thank you for a trip to treasure and remember ~ Cady & Jerry<br /> <br /> It was our 3rd BVI trip. All have been memorable but you went above and beyond. Believe me when I say we noticed all the 'behind-the-scenes' hard work and 'extras'. Doug, thank you for getting me out of my comfort zone and taking me diving ~ Robert, Joseph, Reggie & Wendy<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>A puzzle building family</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thank you for providing us with a vacation that will be part of our family memories forever.

Early on in our selection process, you stated that I should first find a crew with bio's that seemed to be a fit with what we were looking for, and then secondly, see if we liked the boat. That was absolutely the best travel advice ever. When I selected Doug and Val at your suggestion, I really didn't yet understand how excellent your guidance was.<br /> <br /> They are the ultimate hosts/experts to host a yacht vacation. Their easy warm style, great conversation and communication, sense of humor, world travel experience, nautical knowledge, bartending and culinary skills were all truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations. My family was just blown away every day of this trip. <br /> <br /> Doug did a great job manuevering bad weather and managed to find the perfect and interesting anchorages every single day. He's happy to share his marine knowledge both above and below sea level and always has a great story to tell. What an interesting guy! We could have talked with him non-stop for weeks!<br /> <br /> Val is a gem. While she comes across as quiet and unassuming, she was quick to get in on our family jokes and humor and truly helped take things to a whole other level that our gang will not soon forget. She works hard in the tiniest galley preparing thoughtful, well presented gourment food without it being too fancy. It was a real treat to be surprised everyday with the question and answer of "Gee.....What do you think she's making for lunch or dinner?" My family and I are real foodies and truly appreciated the labor of love she put into each meal. The whole food and dining experience was simply sophisticated and far exceeded our expectations.<br /> <br /> I could go on and on raving about this trip. Simply a perfect 10. We can't wait to sail with Doug and Val again, and thanks for your terrific guidance and answering my dozens of questions.

Bedrooms are roomy and peaceful, bathrooms modern and pretty. The boat is beautiful under sail. The communal areas are huge - plenty of space to relax without crowding and so much deck space for everyone to choose their favorite nook.<br /> The meals were truly restaurant quality-delicious and beautifully presented - with wines to compliment. Afternoon cocktails would appear miraculously after a day of snorkeling and exploring little bays and coves.<br /> But by far the best part of chartering Gambit was the wonderful duo of captain/first mate- Doug and Val. Two fine sailors and hosts who really care about the sort of vacation their guests have.<br /> They listened to our needs and wants and tailored the most wonderful week of watery fun filled activities and sights- knowing that we wanted to do nothing more than relax with our families and have lots of new experiences.<br /> <br /> They planned each day with us the night before - and gave us the time to do nothing if that's what we wanted - plus their stories of life on the sea were entrancing and we shared many a laugh with these wonderfully easy going South Africans.<br /> <br /> My family and I would vacation on the Gambit again - and plan to !<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>'The sea, once it casts its' spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever' - Jacques Cousteau</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Just a quote to let you both know how much wonderment you brought to the Pursell and Keane families. thank you for taking such an interest each day in educating us, exploring with us, and becoming our friends.

And again, and even more, we felt at home the moment Doug picked us up at the airport. Again, we spent the most wonderful and relaxed days on board - being active with swimming, snorkling, stand-up paddling and going for hikes, but also being lazy on board, having drinks together and of course enjoying again all the awesome meals that lovely Val prepared for us. We loved to sit together in the evenings to chat and listen to the stories Doug and Val could tell from their long sailing and travelling experience and truly felt like staying with friends. After two weeks it was even harder to say goodbye than the first time, but we'll always cherish the wonderful memories of this amazing time and keep all of it deep in our hearts.<br /> Sailing the Caribbean with Doug and Val is a great holiday experience that is impossible to match! <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-1.jpg?317857407'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-1.jpg?317857407' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 91'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-2.jpg?317857407'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-2.jpg?317857407' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 92'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-3.jpg?317857407'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9693-3.jpg?317857407' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 93'></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Charlie</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'><br /> As an almost full-time traveler, this has been a trip of a lifetime for me!

Each day, Doug untiringly selected most beautiful islands and beaches for us to explore, took us to mindblowing snorkling spots (we'll never, never forget Tobago Cays!), and Val spoiled us with the most amazing meals she produced with a lot of love and creativity in the tiny galley on board Katlyn.<br /> The week we spent on board exceeded all (already high) expectations, and we were literally in tears when we had to leave much too soon.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9689-1.jpg?317857407'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9689-1.jpg?317857407' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 112'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9689-2.jpg?317857407'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9689-2.jpg?317857407' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 113'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9689-3.jpg?317857407'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht5495/5495guests9689-3.jpg?317857407' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 114'></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Arturas and Galina</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'><br /> Thank you very much for your care and all the unforgettable moments we spent with you.

Your stories of your family's journeys and discoveries around the globe read like one adventure novel and we were honored to hear them directly from the authors.

Lucky for us we descended on Gambit and spent an amazing week swimming with fishes, turtles, spotted rays and dolphins. We ate amazing food, saw incredible scenery, drank (too much (:), and reunited with great friends and enjoyed quality time with our kids. And what do we say about Val and Doug? You guys were incredible hosts, and inspirational, and love... I could go on for days.

Once we boarded, a sense of calm came over us all. During our week we enjoyed many great meals which Val prepared, as well as island drinks prepared by Doug. We roamed from Tortola to Peter to Norman to Jost and little Jost, through the Dogs to Virgin Gorda and Anegada. Every island afforded us new adventures above and below the water. Soggy is always a favorite, as was Anegada lobsters. Driving a moke on the wrong side of the road wasn't too scary. Various snorkeling sites and tubing gave the kids great adventures. Doug and Val will provide you an adventure to remember.

Early on in our selection process, you stated that I should first find a crew with bio's that seemed to be a fit with what we were looking for, and then secondly, see if we liked the boat. That was absolutely the best travel advice ever. When I selected Doug and Val at your suggestion, I really didn't yet understand how excellent your guidance was.<br /> <br /> They are the ultimate hosts/experts to host a yacht vacation. Their easy warm style, great conversation and communication, sense of humor, world travel experience, nautical knowledge, bartending and culinary skills were all truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations. My family was just blown away every day of this trip. <br /> <br /> Doug did a great job manuevering bad weather and managed to find the perfect and interesting anchorages every single day. He's happy to share his marine knowledge both above and below sea level and always has a great story to tell. What an interesting guy! We could have talked with him non-stop for weeks!<br /> <br /> Val is a gem. While she comes across as quiet and unassuming, she was quick to get in on our family jokes and humor and truly helped take things to a whole other level that our gang will not soon forget. She works hard in the tiniest galley preparing thoughtful, well presented gourment food without it being too fancy. It was a real treat to be surprised everyday with the question and answer of "Gee.....What do you think she's making for lunch or dinner?" My family and I are real foodies and truly appreciated the labor of love she put into each meal. The whole food and dining experience was simply sophisticated and far exceeded our expectations.<br /> <br /> I could go on and on raving about this trip. Simply a perfect 10. We can't wait to sail with Doug and Val again, and thanks for your terrific guidance and answering my dozens of questions. It was the most memorable birthday for me! ~ Marc<br /> <br /> What a fabulous & unforgettable trip ~ certainly made turning "60" a lot easier. We will treasure the memories we've made until we meet again! Much love, Myriam, Marc, Max, Mara, Stuie & Judy<br /> <br /> You guys were the most fun ever - both are you are now part of the memories that will last forever ~ Stuie</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 25 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 26 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 27 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 90" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Family Renunion Charter</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Excellent trip - fantastic attention to detail made it all so wonderful.

Thank you for the opportunity to scuba again... that and the snorkeling was glorious - so many beautiful fish and coral reefs..... I could go on and on ~ Ken and Jean<br /> <br /> This 2nd vacation with the tow of you and Gambit has been simply marvelous. We always feel welcome and cared for every single minute. Your desire to make our experiences personal and fun were apparent and appreciated. Thank you for being you! Until we meet again.... ~ Mark and Cheryl<br /> <br /> You two sure make things look easy! However, we know the work you do is far from easy! You truly have made this week in the Grenadines the trip of a lifetime. We have made so many memories and experienced new things (scuba diving) thanks to you. Thank you for teaching us to truly enjoy life and to take the opportunity to do new things.

Your warmth and genuine interest in making sure we were never left wanting for a single thing was very much noted and appreciated! Val - the food! On my, you can create wonders in that kitchen! I'm still thinking of the grilled tuna! Captain 'Ron' - you managed to keep one step ahead of us with the beer and wine cooler - not an easy feat with us Canadians. Until we meet again... - Kim<br /> <br /> Thank you Val and Doug for your heart-felt hospitality. So many great memories with our buddies and with you.

Afternoon cocktails would appear miraculously after a day of snorkeling and exploring little bays and coves.<br /> But by far the best part of chartering Gambit was the wonderful duo of captain/first mate- Doug and Val. Two fine sailors and hosts who really care about the sort of vacation their guests have.<br /> They listened to our needs and wants and tailored the most wonderful week of watery fun filled activities and sights- knowing that we wanted to do nothing more than relax with our families and have lots of new experiences.<br /> <br /> They planned each day with us the night before - and gave us the time to do nothing if that's what we wanted - plus their stories of life on the sea were entrancing and we shared many a laugh with these wonderfully easy going South Africans.<br /> <br /> My family and I would vacation on the Gambit again - and plan to !<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 111" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>'The sea, once it casts its' spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever' - Jacques Cousteau</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Just a quote to let you both know how much wonderment you brought to the Pursell and Keane families. thank you for taking such an interest each day in educating us, exploring with us, and becoming our friends.

And again, and even more, we felt at home the moment Doug picked us up at the airport. Again, we spent the most wonderful and relaxed days on board - being active with swimming, snorkling, stand-up paddling and going for hikes, but also being lazy on board, having drinks together and of course enjoying again all the awesome meals that lovely Val prepared for us. We loved to sit together in the evenings to chat and listen to the stories Doug and Val could tell from their long sailing and travelling experience and truly felt like staying with friends. After two weeks it was even harder to say goodbye than the first time, but we'll always cherish the wonderful memories of this amazing time and keep all of it deep in our hearts.<br /> Sailing the Caribbean with Doug and Val is a great holiday experience that is impossible to match! <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 91 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 92 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 93 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 118" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Charlie</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'><br /> As an almost full-time traveler, this has been a trip of a lifetime for me!

Katlyn is such a special boat and we will always remember our time with you. From quiet times to sundowners and Val’s amazing meals – all I can say is WOW! We loved watching your teamwork, Captain Doug and Val’s skills at guiding us to a buoy. Please come to south Carolina – free golf! ~ Ray and Pam<br /> <br /> “Beautiful waters, great sailing days, super snorkeling, baths, bubbly pool, 5 star breakfast, lunch and dinners, snacks, refreshing drinks, sweet Katlyn, and the manner in which you served us….all well beyond measure!! And yet you offered us even more! Your love for your country, the love of your family, your desire to treat all with dignity and honor, and the obvious commitment, respect and love for each other! We feel fortunate and blessed to have crossed paths with you two! Our hope is to see you again.

Despite rough seas, lost airline luggage and the appearance of ‘Murphy’ a few times, you made our voyage unforgettable! The food was superb (thank you Val), the drinks were always flowing (thank you Doug). Our conversations meant a lot – you are truly the models for the best hostess and captain – I am sure you taught your 2 beautiful children the same. I am happy we shared our card games – that was such fun! Thank you, God bless you both and your family – have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year – I am sure we will be back ~ Bob and Rose<br /> <br /> Amazing trip! It was a time to remember for sure! I loved the stories you guys have. You are amazing people and I am positive you will have a delightful life counting backwards from 80.

Not only by the outstanding natural beauty of the Grenadine islands, but also by the kind, personal and in every respect exceptional hospitality of our lovely hosts Doug and Val, who made us feel at home from the very first minute and made every day another day in paradise! Each day, Doug untiringly selected most beautiful islands and beaches for us to explore, took us to mindblowing snorkling spots (we'll never, never forget Tobago Cays!), and Val spoiled us with the most amazing meals she produced with a lot of love and creativity in the tiny galley on board Katlyn.<br /> The week we spent on board exceeded all (already high) expectations, and we were literally in tears when we had to leave much too soon.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 112 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 113 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 114 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 125" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Arturas and Galina</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'><br /> Thank you very much for your care and all the unforgettable moments we spent with you.

Doug and Chef Valerie offer the perfect blend of warmth, hospitality and adventure. A husband and wife team from South Africa, with many years combined cruising, travel and charter experience. To date, Doug and Val have successfully completed over 200 charters in the Caribbean making them one of the most experienced charter crew in the region.<br /> <br /> Doug holds a Yachtmaster Offshore Qualification, reinforced with many ocean crossings and coastal voyages. Doug started sailing in his mid twenties, based off the east coast of South Africa, where sailing and weather conditions are notoriously unpredictable and the coastline hazardous. Having grown up on the ocean with surfing, free diving, spear fishing, scuba diving, sailing and yacht racing as his main activities; sailing charters was a natural progression for him. Weekends were occupied with local and coastal racing as well as family sailing with the children. In 1995, in pursuit of our joint ambition to travel to remote places, we left on an extended 6 year cruise aboard our 30 foot yacht together with our two children, then 4 and 6 years old. This adventure took us across the Indian Ocean and back to South Africa, and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. During our cruising years we explored remote archipelagos, traveled by yacht many miles up the Amazon River, visited new and unique places, experienced diverse cultures and were exposed to many and varied challenges and opportunities. In 2012, the urge to travel again resulted in the acquisition of Katlyn, our first catamaran, and once again we set off across the Atlantic from Cape Town, spending a year en route, before establishing ourselves in the charter industry in the Caribbean. Along the way we have redeveloped our awareness, appreciation and respect for the ocean, the sky and the weather in all its diversity. In 2018, we upgraded and purchased Gambit, our current charter catamaran, and brought her 4500nm from Italy to the Caribbean.<br /> <br /> Doug has been an avid adventure, sport enthusiast throughout his life. After several years of service in a special forces airborne unit, he became involved in Skydiving. He is an advanced skydiver with 2500 jumps, competed on a national level and was the chief instructor at his skydive club prior to his involvement with sailing; he is an experienced paraglider, loves scuba and free diving, as well as water and snow skiing and has completed a number of arduous long distance marathons. He is a natural storyteller and entertainer with a great sense of humor, a charismatic and attentive host, willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get the most out of your vacation whilst ensuring your privacy when appropriate. <br /> <br /> Val grew up on a vast dairy farm in the Drakensberg farming district of South Africa, and attended boarding school, before qualifying as a private secretary and then a primary school teacher. She traded horse riding and hiking for sailing, and was perfectly positioned to home school the children while cruising. She is a qualified scuba diver, and enjoys snorkeling, skiing and hiking, and living the island life. She takes pride and pleasure in creating inviting spaces through tasteful choice and use of fabrics and decor, and is an accomplished seamstress. This is evident in the decor aboard Gambit. Many years of monohull sailing and galley responsibilities have enabled her to become a competent and creative chef aboard, fine tuned by various short courses in the culinary arts and bolstered with hundreds of satisfied charter guests. <br /> <br /> Doug and Val have a passion for traveling and a special affinity for the African bush, it’s wildlife, beauty, solitude and wide open spaces, and have been fortunate to do an extended three month 4x4 camping safari with roof top tent through some of the most unspoiled and rugged areas of Southern Africa. The freedom of traveling without boundaries inspired a six week camper van tour of New Zealand, wild camping without the constraints of official campsites in the winter wonderland of mountains and fjords. During this time we took the opportunity to try our hand at dog sledding, abseiling and caving. We have spent a month touring Sri Lanka traveling by train and staying in local B&B’s, visited Egypt and driven off the beaten track through the Western Desert, camping in the splendor of the White Desert en route. We have driven across the USA and would love to follow this up with a longer RV trip in the not to distant future.<br /> After 17 years of sailing together, we team up on deck to offer you a fun filled sailing vacation, and when the anchor is down, a companionable, relaxed yet attentive atmosphere is created for you to escape your normal routine and create memories which will live with you forever. <br /> <br /> We would love the opportunity to extend a warm welcome to you in the BVI, offer you our hospitality aboard Gambit, and show you around some of our lovely anchorages and must see spots that we’ve come to call home.<br /> <br /> Crew are fully vaccinated for Covid 19. </p></div> </div> </div> </div>

The diversity, creativity, presentation and freshness were present in every meal. The wonderful aromas and flavors that flowed from the galley to our plates we will remember forever. Your stories of your family's journeys and discoveries around the globe read like one adventure novel and we were honored to hear them directly from the authors. Just when we thought we knew every anchorage in the BVI, Doug would surprise us with a new one that would be better than the last. We will remember this vacation forever!

Lucky for us we descended on Gambit and spent an amazing week swimming with fishes, turtles, spotted rays and dolphins. We ate amazing food, saw incredible scenery, drank (too much (:), and reunited with great friends and enjoyed quality time with our kids. And what do we say about Val and Doug? You guys were incredible hosts, and inspirational, and love... I could go on for days. We are eternally thankful for the gift we have given us this week - rest, rejuvenation, and a sense of being cared for.

Early on in our selection process, you stated that I should first find a crew with bio's that seemed to be a fit with what we were looking for, and then secondly, see if we liked the boat. That was absolutely the best travel advice ever. When I selected Doug and Val at your suggestion, I really didn't yet understand how excellent your guidance was.<br /> <br /> They are the ultimate hosts/experts to host a yacht vacation. Their easy warm style, great conversation and communication, sense of humor, world travel experience, nautical knowledge, bartending and culinary skills were all truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations. My family was just blown away every day of this trip. <br /> <br /> Doug did a great job manuevering bad weather and managed to find the perfect and interesting anchorages every single day. He's happy to share his marine knowledge both above and below sea level and always has a great story to tell. What an interesting guy! We could have talked with him non-stop for weeks!<br /> <br /> Val is a gem. While she comes across as quiet and unassuming, she was quick to get in on our family jokes and humor and truly helped take things to a whole other level that our gang will not soon forget. She works hard in the tiniest galley preparing thoughtful, well presented gourment food without it being too fancy. It was a real treat to be surprised everyday with the question and answer of "Gee.....What do you think she's making for lunch or dinner?" My family and I are real foodies and truly appreciated the labor of love she put into each meal. The whole food and dining experience was simply sophisticated and far exceeded our expectations.<br /> <br /> I could go on and on raving about this trip. Simply a perfect 10. We can't wait to sail with Doug and Val again, and thanks for your terrific guidance and answering my dozens of questions. It was the most memorable birthday for me! ~ Marc<br /> <br /> What a fabulous & unforgettable trip ~ certainly made turning "60" a lot easier. We will treasure the memories we've made until we meet again! Much love, Myriam, Marc, Max, Mara, Stuie & Judy<br /> <br /> You guys were the most fun ever - both are you are now part of the memories that will last forever ~ Stuie</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 25 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 26 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 27 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests13809-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 90" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Family Renunion Charter</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Excellent trip - fantastic attention to detail made it all so wonderful.

I could go on and on ~ Ken and Jean<br /> <br /> This 2nd vacation with the tow of you and Gambit has been simply marvelous. We always feel welcome and cared for every single minute.

However, we know the work you do is far from easy! You truly have made this week in the Grenadines the trip of a lifetime.

Until next time! - The Bonds<br /> <br /> Thank you for always going the extra mile, like taking me to the Belgium soccer game, teaching me new card games, and overall giving me an amazing time - Emily</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests10006-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 82 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests10006-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests10006-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 83 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests10006-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests10006-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 84 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests10006-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 115" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>The Richards and Bergmans</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>To say we had a wonderful trip is an understatement!

And again, and even more, we felt at home the moment Doug picked us up at the airport. Again, we spent the most wonderful and relaxed days on board - being active with swimming, snorkling, stand-up paddling and going for hikes, but also being lazy on board, having drinks together and of course enjoying again all the awesome meals that lovely Val prepared for us. We loved to sit together in the evenings to chat and listen to the stories Doug and Val could tell from their long sailing and travelling experience and truly felt like staying with friends. After two weeks it was even harder to say goodbye than the first time, but we'll always cherish the wonderful memories of this amazing time and keep all of it deep in our hearts.<br /> Sailing the Caribbean with Doug and Val is a great holiday experience that is impossible to match! <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 91 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 92 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 93 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9693-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 118" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Charlie</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'><br /> As an almost full-time traveler, this has been a trip of a lifetime for me!

Despite rough seas, lost airline luggage and the appearance of ‘Murphy’ a few times, you made our voyage unforgettable! The food was superb (thank you Val), the drinks were always flowing (thank you Doug). Our conversations meant a lot – you are truly the models for the best hostess and captain – I am sure you taught your 2 beautiful children the same. I am happy we shared our card games – that was such fun! Thank you, God bless you both and your family – have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year – I am sure we will be back ~ Bob and Rose<br /> <br /> Amazing trip! It was a time to remember for sure! I loved the stories you guys have. You are amazing people and I am positive you will have a delightful life counting backwards from 80. Thank you for introducing me to new foods and drinks, and completely superb places like the pools. I learned a lot within these few short days and experienced such beautiful things with great people.

Not only by the outstanding natural beauty of the Grenadine islands, but also by the kind, personal and in every respect exceptional hospitality of our lovely hosts Doug and Val, who made us feel at home from the very first minute and made every day another day in paradise! Each day, Doug untiringly selected most beautiful islands and beaches for us to explore, took us to mindblowing snorkling spots (we'll never, never forget Tobago Cays!), and Val spoiled us with the most amazing meals she produced with a lot of love and creativity in the tiny galley on board Katlyn.<br /> The week we spent on board exceeded all (already high) expectations, and we were literally in tears when we had to leave much too soon.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 112 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-2large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 113 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-2.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[5495]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-3large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 114 of the yacht GAMBIT' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/gambit/gambit-gambit-lagoon-51-00-review5495guests9689-3.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of GAMBIT"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">GAMBIT</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="GAMBIT Crew 125" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Arturas and Galina</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'><br /> Thank you very much for your care and all the unforgettable moments we spent with you.
