Onboard HALCYON.
I asked Captain Adrian Stephens what set HALCYON apart from other 51ft Fontaine Pajots and he said “me” - this is classic English humor.

Dhosea
Luuu is an amazing chef, and not only is her food incredible, but she always has a smile for her guests.
Sam is an incredible man, warm and friendly, and always willing to do his best to make us feel at home.
Definitely an unforgettable vacation.
Because of your hard work, your dedication to our happiness & experience, your attention to detail, your care, your initiation & anticipation of our needs… all these which I know some people just expect — we appreciate & noticed & saw in everything you did.
We saw it & felt it from both of you from the moment you woke up til the moment we all went to bed and throughout the night! We felt taken care of, WELL FED, safe, inspired & enlightened by what we learned & saw & ate!
You are good people above all else & we appreciated the chance to get to know you both & share this time with you.
Until the next time…..
All our love & appreciation,
Gayle & Brian
10 MAGICAL days of adventure, curated experiences, mouthwatering cuisine, impeccable attention to details with a Captain and first mate/chef who anticipated all our needs, tailored every single moment to our heart's content and went out of their way from sunrise to sunset to give us the trip of a lifetime.
Their knowledge was unsurpassed, their commitment to safety, comfort and our indulgence was 24/7.
We've traveled all over the world and this vacation was perfection and the BEST yet!
Run, don't walk to experience Halcyon and Sam and Lu for a week that will change your life!
What an incredible few days to spend in your hands!!! Every whim and need tended to — every sunset (and animal) perfectly positioned.
We will be back!
Fulvio & Simane
Love, love, love
Clair L
Wishing you guys peace, love, happiness and good health.
This trip has also been very overwhelming in a good way. The views, the ocean, the stars and the different places we went all have been so beautiful. It shows that God is real! There is too much beauty in it for that not to be.
Thank you again
Ashton B
Andy L
Thank you both so much for EVERYTHING - especially the endless skinny margs and painkillers. We appreciate y'all more than you know. You have given our family memories that we will remember forever!
Hayden L
Lu is phenomenal in the kitchen and kept our group full not only on food but laughs and smiles. We had beautiful weather as well, which made the trip so special. Between the crystal clear water, fantastic meals, breathtaking sights, painkillers and this amazing crew - my trip to the BVI has been my favorite so far. I will definitely be back.
Jake W.
AJ was incredibly patient and friendly with the entire family, showed us all of the best snorkel spots, had great restaurant suggestions, and was always excited to bring out the water toys for us.
Chartering a boat through the BVI with this operation is a great vacation.
With that said, AJ made it the trip of a lifetime!! Would highly recommend it to all!!!
Again, BIG THANKS to AJ and please come join us in the States.
Kiersten B
AJ is a wonderful person, wouldn’t have wanted to spend our time with anyone else.
.
AJ kept us safe and was always making sure we were getting the most out of our trip. We all had a lot of laughs and had the most relaxing trip of our lives. I would definitely do it again.
Robyn J
AJ was very accommodating, no matter how many times we changed our minds about what we wanted to do for the day. He found us amazing snorkeling and dive sites, restaurants and bars, and his quick wit and sense of humor kept us entertained.
AJ set the bar high, and I hope we can find him again to share our next sailing adventure.
