TORTUGA Guest Comments
March 2026
Sailing the BVI with Captain Lars and Chef Jaz was over and beyond any of my expectations!
They were the most hospitable hosts from the moment we arrived on their beautiful, comfortable and spacious catamaran!
Captain Lars is a calm, confident and knowledgeable sailor! While fishing in the deep ocean, a storm came up with high winds and rough conditions. I felt entirely safe and at ease! It didn’t last long and was an exciting experience!
Chef Jaz creates delicious, healthy dishes at every meal!
She does her homework to make sure that the food meets her guests palate. Our group caught lots of fish which she prepared perfectly!!!
Every day brought a new fun-filled adventure in a different location…. From a reggae concert in St. John, hiking on Norman Island, exploring Anagada, seeing beautiful fish and turtles while snorkeling, the Baths, having fun with all the water toys ….
And of course the spectacular
views!!
If you’re considering a sailing trip with an awesome crew that will exceed your expectations, book a trip on the Tortuga!!

Unforgettable bucket list adventure
Jasmine and Lars were incredibly skilled and welcoming hosts who made the entire trip aboard the Tortuga unforgettable. Each day brought a new and breathtaking experience, turning this adventure into a dream come true. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey and perfect way to check off something from the bucket list.

A WEEK AT SEA WOWEEEEEE!!!
Fantastic experience!!! Jasmine & Lars unbelievable, super couple, Jasmine a great chef, fantastic food, Lars a super captain!!!
Hard to describe the adventure. Ours tilted towards fishing. Caught and ate fish. Me caught nothing except a lot of ribbing..........................
Lars and Jasmine know their way around the Virgin Islands and took us to great places including a reggae concert!!!
Especially fun was meeting Jasmine's dad's (best friends for 50-years) friends who are now our friends.
You want to get face to face with the ocean and a great part of the world book a trip!!!

Out of This World Experience!!!!!!
If you don’t book this trip, you will regret it.
The adventures are great, you just can’t replicate it.
The two crew team are top of the class.
Set sail with them and experience something world class!
This was by far the best vacation I have ever been on and it was all due to the expertise of Lars and Jasmine! Everyday brought a new adventure at sea and on land. They are truly a great team.

We had the absolute joy of sailing through the BVI with Captain Lars and Jaz on our very first charter, and it was truly one of the most special experiences our family has ever had.
We are a family of six with four daughters, and from the very beginning, Lars and Jaz made us feel completely at home. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine care for our family were evident in everything they did.
Captain Lars is an exceptional sailor—calm, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable. We always felt safe and relaxed, which allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. He also made sure there was never a dull moment, setting up water toys and creating so much fun for our girls throughout the trip.
Chef Jaz is nothing short of amazing. Every single meal was thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious—each one felt special and something we looked forward to every day.
One moment that meant the world to us: due to a canceled flight, our 16-year-old daughter had to fly in a day early on her own. Lars and Jaz met her at the airport, took her under their wing, and cared for her until we arrived the next day. As parents, we cannot express how much that meant to us. That level of kindness and responsibility goes far beyond what you expect—it truly speaks to the kind of people they are.
We were also their very first charter on their new boat, Tortuga, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The boat is absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly set up for an unforgettable trip.
This was more than just a vacation—it was a memory our family will cherish forever. Lars and Jaz are two of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met, and we feel so lucky to have shared this experience with them.
If you are considering a sailing trip through the Caribbean, do yourself a favor and book with Captain Lars and Jaz. It will exceed your expectations in every way.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such incredible care of our family—we cannot wait to sail with you again!
