GYPSY PRINCESS Guest Comments
May 30 - June 6, 2023 BVI
Dear Quentin & Marine,
We cannot thank you enough for giving us the best possible sailing experience. Everything you did was executed to perfection. The route planning took us to so many new destinations we would have never known or seen without you. The care with which Marine took for every appetizer, breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert was truly flawless. Your culinary skills are so very impressive and deeply appreciated. Quentin, your vast knowledge and passion for sailing is incredible. We learned so much from you and have collected memories for a lifetime.
Lastly, and most importantly, the kindness and care you have shown to our family will never be forgotten. Sully's wake boarding and snorkeling adventures will long be remembered as a height of this trip!
We look forward to staying in touch with you and planning our next adventure together.
Thank you again,
The Puppa's (Bob, Melissa & Sullivan)

"It was absolutely spectacular and Quentin and Marine were a huge part of that. Tough to get back to regular life.
Great weather.
Quentin communicated clearly our plans and was very accommodating.
Nice mix of motoring and sailing.
Boat was perfect - lots of space, clean, sleeping arrangements were great.
Lots of good snorkeling, 6 of 7 days. Felt very safe.
Great moorings, anchorage spots, swim ups
We had 4 or 5 meals off boat which was a nice break and the right balance
Best 7 days of food of our lives - homemade everything, great quality, great variety, etc. Marine is a spectacular cook.
Good water sports - tubing, skiing, skim boards. Saw some other yachts with Sea Scooters. That would be a nice addition”
New Year 2024/25
What was the highlight of your charter? For the adults, it was the boat and Quentin and Marine. They were the best crew we've sailed with and were amazing with the kids. We loved sharing this vacation with our kids and being with family for a week. The kids absolutely loved the whole week.
Favorite memory? Seeing a turtle while snorkeling with Marine and Quentin. They snorkeled with us at the Indians and that was SO awesome! Two of our kids swam through the underwater tunnel with Quentin as their guide. We never would have done that without Quentin and Marine snorkeling with us.
Best things about your crew? Where to start?? They were so friendly and personable and we immediately felt at ease. Marine had exceptional food and hospitality- she's someone you are sad to leave and want to stay friends with. You can tell they both love sailing, and Quentin loved sharing all of his knowledge and experiences with us. They were both so easy to get along with and made sure that our comfort was a priority.
We would 100% love to sail again with Quentin and Marine, be it the BVI or wherever else they end up.

▷ 10/10. There was always plenty, great presentations, and everything was delicious.
