TURQUOISE TURTLE Guest Comments
Warm easy-going hospitality with a South African twist
We have spent a lot of time with Andre and Alison on their former catamaran and to be sure, if you are looking for warm easy-going hospitality with a South African twist (that’s practically a tornado for the rest of the world) then you will find no better than these two and their new beauty the Turquoise Turtle. Come with an appetite for laughter and great food on the BBQ!

Perfect week on the Turquoise Turtle
A week on the Turquoise Turtle touring the BVI's was absolutely perfect. Captain Andre and First Mate Alison did not spare any detail from the cozy accommodations to the daily activities. We felt right at home and feel like we made lifelong friends.
Fabulous way to experience the BVIs.

Andre and Alison are fabulous. They pay attention to every detail. As the boat owner and long time sailors they give you a great sailing experience - weather permitting of course. They have it all covered, captain, chef, tour guide, identifier of reef fish, making sure all are safe and having a great time.
Our group was made up of 4 adults and their was plenty of space. Do mind the packing instructions. I packed lighter then usual and I did wear 95% of what I brought, I could have done with much less.
Alison did a fantastic job with food. Our group have a mix of meals on board and ashore. The food was great and Alison shared their South African culture with us through her recipes.
Truly a great experience. Hope to be back!
Traveled the world and this is one of the best vacations we’ve had!

I’m not sure I have the words to describe our time on the Turquoise Turtle. I can tell you I have never in my life been on a vacation like this. My 4 daughters and I travel ALOT-so being the mom I take care of ALOT. This is what I DIDN’T do…plan, shop, cook, clean, gather, motivate, think, prepare, etc.
This is what we ALL DID together…eat, play games, read, snorkel, laugh, drink, lounge on the boat, explore, hike, and just be together!
Andre and Allison literally took care of EVERYTHING, every detail, and did it brilliantly and beautifully! From sailing to the perfect bays, snorkeling spots, bars, restaurants, to showing us the underwater world and islands they love, to mixing delicious drinks, to creating phenomenal meals, to preparing equipment to snorkel, paddle board, lounge, and live on a boat very well, to being open and flexible to create the next day to be even more perfect than the day before.
My girls were worried about being on a boat for 7 nights…they literally didn’t want to leave. I’ve never seen them so connected and relaxed. Thank you Andre and Allison for giving us all so many incredible memories💙🐢 Dinghy Forward!
