We cannot thank you enough for making our week in the BVI so incredible! From the moment we stopped onboard, you created an experience that was not only seamless but beyond anything we could have imagined.
Every detail, from the thoughtful itinerary to amazing meals - was perfect. We loved every snorkel spot, every stunning view, and every moment of simply soaking in the beauty of the islands. And our adventures of saving baby goats and sneaking conch shells onboard will definitely go down as highlights. It was clear how much care and expertise went into planning our journey, and we truly appreciate it.
Beyond that, getting to know you both and seeing your passion firsthand was a special part of the trip. Your warmth, energy, and love for what you do made all the difference, and we feel so lucky to have shared this adventure with you.
Thank you again for everything - you made this week one we will never forget! Wishing you smooth sailing and we hope our paths cross again someday.

Thanks for the around the world experiences - from the drinks to the food to the cheers (cheers, skål, serefe, sagligimiza, kippis, salute, huzzah). While the wind was strong, we cruised right along. But you didn’t steer us wrong. All the stops were the tops, and the drinks really rocked. The meals were the deals, and you really set our mood, with the amazing food! The tables were set with blingy, and you gave us rides in your dingy. This trip went fast, but it won’t be our last.

Thank you for the incredible week. We were blown away starting at our first step on the boat by the welcoming crew and beautiful boat. Each day on the trip was accompanied by delicious meals by Elif, which were all well prepared, planned and full of flavor. While sailing Milla took the time to teach our group to sail and made us feel part of the crew. Our favorite stops through out the trip were Anegada and Virgin Gorda - Tipsy’s was such a fun spot! This will forever be on the top of our trips. We are forever grateful to have experienced sailing on the Apricity.

Apricity:
Boat - The boat was clean and the layout was great for our crew of 5. Rooms were a great size and it was nice to have three full baths. Even with 5 plus Rodrigo and Alys we never felt crowded or on top of each other.
Crew - Rodrigo and Alys were a great match with our kids and they were both extremely patient with us! Rodrigo was so good with the boys and their endless desire to fish, fantastic captain. We also really appreciated how caring they were about our experience and their collaborative approach to our itinerary. I think we quickly found out that being on the boat, fishing, seashell hunting and snorkeling was what we prioritized and they worked to maximize that time for us, leading to a terrific trip. We also really appreciated when they jumped into things that we were doing - question games, fishing, art etc.. Without a doubt they made the trip better and are a fantastic crew.
Food - the food was great, Alys did a fantastic job meeting our various needs. If you can imagine, feeding tween and teenagers is not straightforward and she did a great job balancing their food requests with what Lisa and I wanted. Kids rated her brownies 10/10!
Overall, I think they were perfect for our family and I really appreciated getting to know them! I would absolutely recommend them for others looking for a family focused trip."

Our family has just returned from a truly spectacular sailing vacation aboard Apricity, made exceptional by an extraordinary crew—Captain Rodrigo and Chef Alys. Many say the British Virgin Islands are the finest cruising grounds in the world, and we wholeheartedly agree. Apricity was extremely comfortable for our three-generation family, but what truly elevated this trip was the crew. We shared our meal preferences in advance, and every single meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Alys’s superyacht experience was evident throughout—her creativity, skill, and attention to detail were outstanding. Captain Rodrigo’s impressive background also showed in countless ways. Together, he and Alys crafted a perfect, customized itinerary and responded thoughtfully to our family’s needs each day, ensuring the experience was seamless and memorable. We have owned many boats—both sail and power—and have cruised in many wonderful places, but this was our very first crewed charter. Having a truly great crew, as Alys and Rodrigo certainly are, takes cruising to an entirely new and deeply enjoyable level.
