This amazing trip is hard to put into words but I will try my best! The spots we snorkeled & anchored were so beautiful. Gi, your food every day was soooo delicious! You put some of the best restaurants to shame. We had fun playing cards with Mario & Dylan. Mario, you kept up with this crews drinks and you make a killer pina colada! I really enjoyed watching you all work. It was interesting to see the hand signals + coordination it takes to sail, anchor, and leave crowded bays. You all work so seemlessly together. This was a huge bucket list item for us and we are so glad you were the crew that helped us check the box. We will NEVER forget this trip! Thank you for everything! We wish you all the best! Sarah + Bill
P.s. We will still be on the lookout for an octopus but thanks so much for the tips on spotting!
Dylan, Gi & Mario,
Thank you for an amazing week sailing the BVI’s. Your hospitality, team work and attention to detail was the best! We appreciated every extra touch. To us you all aren’t just a charter boat but more like family. The trip was well beyond our expectations! Again, thank you for a fabulous week of memories!

AFTER CHARTER FOLLOW UP:
How did you find your crew? Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating?
▷ All three crew members were fabulous. We would give them all very high marks on all these attributes - friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating. They were very focused on doing what we wanted and what we liked. They were very enjoyable to be with. They went out of their way to understand what we liked and disliked and adjust the plan to accommodate our feedback.
Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your favorite aspect of the yacht?
▷ The crew took great pride in making sure everything was clean and in good working order. They had a number of very creative ways to make us more comfortable and have easier access to things we used. We did tell them that they needed more ventilation in the outdoor dining area and another step or two on the ladder to get out of the water. They had already planned to address those issues when they had down time.
Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the menu to your preferences?
▷ Gi was simply amazing. Her meals were all phenomenal - creative, fresh, very well tasty, healthy . She vetted the menu with us and adjusted to special needs. We really enjoyed her descriptions of the preparation that she gave before each meal. She should create and sell a cookbook!
Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed?
▷ Very much so. They tailored the itinerary to our requests. They gave us an overview on day 1 and then discussed the plan for the day based on winds, currents etc to make sure we agreed.
Can we use your comments as a reference on our website?
▷ We left several glowing reviews with the crew with authorization for them to post anywhere they choose. We highly recommend them to anyone!

o Tell us about your meals.
Meals were outstanding. Chef adjusted her meal plan to our preference sheet while staying true to the foodie experience. Creative cuisine with a flair for ingenious flavor profiles. BEST gluten-free meals I've ever had. Five stars for sure!
o Now, do you remember what you liked best about this trip?
The crew quickly adjusted to our style of vacationing and they offered wonderful suggestions on how to have the best experience.
o And what did you like the least about this trip?
The off-boat experience was probably the least favorite. Cocomaya was a very long cab ride from where we docked which we didn't realize. The food was great but I'm not sure it was worth a $180 cab ride. Gi's food was better in my opinion.
o Thank you. Please tell us how did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
Perfect. We were presented with options that suited our pace, and we trusted the crew to steer us in the right direction...and they did.
o Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:
Yes! We are already talking about a 2027 trip. We loved Dylan, Mario, and Gi. They made the trip so much more than we ever expected. If they are still on Odyssea, great! If they are on another boat, we would follow them to that boat.

What can we say other than this really did exceed all expectations!
Captain Dylan, Ric and Rox were absolutely wonderful! It was the crew who truly made this experience special for all of us. They were so attentive, knowledgable, personable, fun and so incredibly talented at what they do. The food, the sailing, the drinks...We can't ever imagine going on another charter without them. We are just so incredibly grateful it was those 3 lovely people who shared in this experience with us. We cannot thank them enough.
We were all in awe at how Rox and the crew could create such lovely meals for us all in such a small space! The food was delicious, fresh, beautifully presented and was probably the highlight of the whole trip.
There were so many aspects that we all loved on this trip. We spent quality time relaxing, exploring and Dylan was so knowledgable of the area, we relied on his expertise and it was excellent. We loved the emails and our time on board with the crew as well as exploring the BVI. The boat and crew were exceptional!
The pace was great and Dylan took all aspects of our must see islands and blended that with the weather and created special trip for us. The BVI is a lot of fun to explore and we loved it and loved this crew!
