SAIL AWAY Guest Comments
Broker Review - Personal Charter
We were spoiled rotten by the crew of Sail Away and would love to charter with that crew again.
For my friends, this opened their eyes to a new world. We had the best time, not a single complaint! The interior was clean, and I was impressed with how she showed being 12 years old.
Connor is a fantastic captain, calm, funny, and we loved his morning briefings. Truly a highlight for us every day.
Ada is an excellent chef, and my friends were blown away with every meal. We loved her portion size and that we didn’t feel like we were weighed down by food.
Even though Nicole is in her first season, it didn’t show. She would get us things before we had to ask, a true skill, and very hard worker.
Happy to be a reference this program/crew any day. Thanks again for assisting me on this trip of a lifetime.
Broker Review
Comment on the cleanliness of SAIL AWAY:
The crew kept our cabins spotless and prepared.
Our beds were made and our bathrooms cleaned every morning while we ate breakfast. Main
saloon was vacuumed and mopped every evening after dinner.
Comment on the congeniality of your Captain and crew: Our crew was very friendly from our first FaceTime meeting before we traveled to Tortola to our final drop-off. Captain Conner, Chef Ada and Nicole were so friendly. They all doted on our 3-year-old grandson and Silas (our grandson) nicknamed the Captain, “Silly Conner”.
Comment on the service of your Captain and crew:
The service was wonderful the entire week. It is not easy serving 11 people ages 3 to 70, 2 picky eaters; the captain and crew made it seem
effortless. This is our third charter we have worked with you to secure. All our crews have been great; this crew is our favorite so far. Here are just a couple of examples. I am an early riser in the morning, typically 4:30 am to 5 am. Nicole got up every morning at 5 am to make me coffee.
When I commented that I would be happy to push the button on the coffee maker and pour my
own cup, Nicole would have none of that. It was served to me graciously. They were willing to
change-up our pick-up and drop-off locations because our accommodations for the day before
and day after the cruise was on the west end of Tortola.
Comment on the fun aspect of your Captain and crew:
They were the best! Wake boarding,
tubing, paddleboards, floating toys. They even had a big floating ring that worked like a child
swimming pool for our 3-year-old. Capt. Conner and Ada arranged our scuba diving with DIVE
BVI which is a great dive operation in the BVIs with locations on Virgin Gorda and Scrub Island.
They even played games with Silas and with the adults after Silas went to bed. Conner gave us abriefing every morning after breakfast using a map which was given to us at the end of the
charter. Conner quizzed us on what he had shared with us throughout the charter, where we
anchored on previous days, tidbits he had shared with us on the history of the islands – it was
very fun.
Comment on the expertise of your Captain and crew:
Our crew was very professional and promoted safety through our cruise. Moorings and anchoring setup were accomplished with expertise. Conner did a mechanical check on the boat systems each morning.
Comment on the quality of your meals:
All our meals were excellently prepared, and the quality was very high. We were not an easy group with one vegetarian, 2 adult picky eaters and a 3-year-old. Chef Ada rose to each meal. Filet mignon, salmon, sea bass, New York Strip, fresh sourdough bread, wonderful desserts and a birthday cake for Silas and me, both our birthdays were in May. Breakfasts were typically yogurt, eggs, fruit by our request.
Comment on the presentation of your meals:
Beautifully presented with a completely different theme each night. Our birthday dinner and our final “pirate night” dinner were the favorites of Silas.

Best Vacation Ever!
Quite literally the best vacation ever!
Our charter was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Connor and Ada were hands down the best crew ever; they went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable.
Their hospitality, professionalism, and fun personalities made every day amazing. The food was amazing, better than any restaurant we ate at! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better trip.
Highly recommend!

Our week aboard our charter was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped on board, Connor and Ada made us feel welcome, relaxed, and completely taken care of.
Connor struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. His knowledge of the BVI, attention to safety, and ability to tailor each day to our group’s interests made the entire trip feel effortless. Every anchorage, beach, and adventure seemed perfectly chosen.
Ada was absolutely incredible. Every meal was beautifully prepared, fresh, creative, and delicious. She consistently exceeded our expectations, and each meal became a highlight of the day. It’s hard to believe the quality and variety she was able to create from a yacht galley.
Together, Connor and Ada made an amazing team. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail transformed an already beautiful vacation into a truly unforgettable experience. The yacht was immaculate, the service was exceptional, and every day brought new memories that we’ll be talking about for years.
If you’re considering a charter in the BVI, stop looking and book an &Beyond Yacht Charters yacht. We couldn’t imagine a better crew or a better experience. Thank you, Connor and Ada, for giving us the trip of a lifetime—we can’t wait to sail with you again!

We just returned home from an amazing week with Connor and Ada! From the second we stepped on board, they made us feel right at home.
Their hospitality was top-notch! Connor is an amazing captain and host. We all really enjoyed every story he had to tell and we learned so much from him every day!
And Ada, blew us away with every single meal she prepared for us!
And I can honestly say, I have never cried, leaving a vacation until this one.
We all miss them already and cannot wait to go back! And yes, we will be going back very soon! :-)
