March 29 2024 BVI


Well - Officially the best vacation of our and we have vacationed a lot. The warmth, care, fun, love, safety, precision and so much more of what amazing trio of Rob, Bex and Josh provided was nothing short of magical! the BVIs have allowed us to learn so much about ourselves, this planet, our world and overall connectedness to others and I attribute that to Rob, Bex and Josh. Every moment of our time here was so special - even the smallest of moments to the unexpected. From the Baths to the hammerhead shark sighting and sea turtles to the joys of jumping off the balcony at Willie Ts & seeing the European men all their glory - it was unforgettable. But probably my favorite if I have to pack one thing that feel like family - I want to bring Rob, Bex and Joshua with us. Amazing humans who we feel so blessed to call friends & family. We cannot wait to book another charter with Rob, Bex and Josh and are so grateful we had the opportunity to be with them for an entire week - what a gift! Bex - You make me want to be a better chef and to keep laughing. Rob - your calm demeanor. Josh - your patience is so appreciated. Rob/Bex - to witness the love you have for each other is awesome! Love Julie and Steve

Bex, Rob, Josh,
This has truly been the most amazing week of my life. All three of you expressed so much happiness and passion. The kindness you all shared was unmatched and there are truly no other crew members/people I would've rather spent this week with. You all made this trip truly feel like vacation and made it the trip of a lifetime. I am so grateful of you guys. Rob, you never failed to make me feel safe and always had a smile on your face. Constantly making sure everyone was taken care of. Bex, you are the most amazing chef, and your laugh is truly contagious. You showed me so much kindness and always make me feel heard and respected. Josh, or "Joshy" thank you for being the BEST water sports teacher. Thank you for always being so patient with all of us. I loved getting to spend time with all three of you and I will miss you all dearly. You all made this week unforgettable, and I wish we could stay longer. Love you all! Love Nora

I speak for everyone when I say this trip as truly been the most memorable trip. This trip felt like a true vacation. Bex, Rob and Josh made this trip full of adventure and experiences along with a great amount of relaxation. Bex will go over the moon to accommodate everyone needs. Rob will always be there to put a smile on your face. Josh will always encourage us to do activities and does not hesitate when anyone has an interest in doing anything. The food was wonderful (thank you Rob and Bex) and the excursions were incredible (thank you Josh and Rob). They are all patient, passionate and accommodating. If I could do this trip again, I would do it a thousand times. I have spent this entire week smiling, laughing and truly joyful. I never want to leave; I hope to see you guys soon!
I would also like to add that I have learned the e-foil and wakeboard along with many other valuable lessons. Ask Rob about his magical grilled cheese:) Love Caroline

This honesty has been the best vacation I have had in my entire life. The food was devine and I learned and loved so much I've done. I'm young and only 13 but I don't think any other vacation will compare to this. I love every single thing we did. I love Bex, Rob and Joshy so much 10 stars! Love Cassidy

I cannot put into words how amazing this trip was. From the sights to the crew to the food, everything was perfect. Rob and Bex are so amazing. To start off, Bex is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is so funny, kind, beautiful, and the best cook I've ever met. She is such a good person and is such a talented woman. Rob, he is also amazing; He is such a good captain and will care for your every need. He is so kind and never once have I felt unsafe. I cannot forget Joshy either, he is still so great and cared for us so much. The sights were also so amazing, but I know this amazing spring break would have never been the same without this Crew. I love you guys so much. Love, Aevan.

Karaoke night was the best!
The yacht was beautiful and quite spacious. The kids were thrilled to each have their own bedroom/bathroom! The crew maintained the cleanliness of the cabins every day! Food was amazing! Every time we turned around it was time for another fabulous meal!

The Baths are always a favorite stop! We also enjoyed our night anchored at Jost Van Dyke as we got a prime anchorage with easy access to the shore for fun at the bars/restaurant. Diving in the BVI is always amazing!

Our group of seven friends had the pleasure of chartering with Captain Matt Neidlinger and his wife, Chef Kari on SV Manna.
Captain Matt was outstanding throughout the entire trip. He’s incredibly easy-going yet professional, and his knowledge of the area is second to none. Matt ensured our group was always comfortable, and his commitment to safety was evident throughout the entire charter. He even led us on some incredible snorkel spots and led a dive for 2 of our group.
In addition to being a fantastic captain, Matt was a huge help in the planning stages of the trip. He worked closely with [Broker] to assist us before we even arrived, providing helpful suggestions for activities, equipment, and local tips. The communication was seamless, and we always felt well-informed and confident leading up to our vacation.
As for Kari, she’s a culinary genius! The meals she prepared were absolutely delicious, and she always had something to please everyone’s tastes. Whether it was fresh seafood, vibrant salads, or decadent desserts, each meal was a treat. Kari’s attention to detail and her ability to craft the perfect drink to pair with each dish made every meal feel special. We were truly spoiled by her cooking!
The boat, SV Manna, was immaculate. It was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a luxurious experience at sea. The care and attention Matt and Kari put into maintaining the boat were evident, and it made our time aboard even more enjoyable.
Having been to the BVI many times before, we were familiar with the area, but this trip was even more special thanks to Matt and Kari. This charter exceeded all of our expectations. Matt and Kari’s hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail made this one of the best trips we've ever had.
We can’t wait to charter with them again!
