SOUTHERN COMFORT Guest Comments
NYE 2023 BVI Charter
Ashley & Ish ~ you orchestrated the perfect week for our family. Every meal, adventure & shore excursion exceeded our highest hopes - a new bar has been set for our family vacations and I am not sure we will be able to beat this one without coming back to see you on the Southern Comfort again.

Ash + Ish,
I don't know what I expected, but it certainly was not this level of warmth and hospitality. It has been so fun getting to know you... and I should like to consider us friends. Thank you for all you do & have done.
Thank you for truly making this trip incredible. Your attention to detail and ability to make each moment more incredible than the last is second to none. Thank you again and happy sailing,
Thank you so much for making my dad's birthday. I know it meant a lot to him. It's the tiny details like when Ish bought a ball for Sophia, or Ash leaving every meal to be a surprise. You guys were so incredibly sweet. I hope you get a break soon.
Throughout our trip, you have shown us what it means to be kind and take care of those around you. Thank you for reminding me that the world is a much bigger place.
We have been dreaming about this trip for years and planning it for over six months. While we are one of many charters, both of you have been forever woven into the tapestry of our family history when we reflect on fabulous "Bucket List" family adventures. We can't thank you enough for your hospitality, your hard work, and your company, We enjoyed every minute onboard the Southern Comfort. We wish you the very best and will miss you.

Ashley + Ish,
This is our first chartered vacation and it has exceeded our expectations! As sailors + water people we knew we would enjoy the water sports and sailing but the rest was an unknown. You two have provided a 5 star experience in every way! We have felt loved and pampered! It was fun hearing your story (and your jokes Ashley) and getting to know you a bit. Ish - you do a fabulous job running this on sea hotel, we felt you accommodated our every request and you set a beautiful table & make a mean tropical drink! Finally! ASHLEY - chef extraordinary. Your meals were of Michelin Restaurant Quality: delicious, beautifully presented & we ate every bite. What a magical week. We’ll come again! Thank you so much!

Ashley and Ish,
This is our first charter and trip to the BVI’s and our experience has been exceptional thanks to you two! Our daily destinations with water actives and shore excursions have been lots of fun! Ish, you are a terrific captain. Ashley, thank you for your amazing meals made, with love, so much attention to details. I’m sure all of us have gained a pound or two. Ish, your special drinks were delicious and thoughtful. Every meal and beverage had a perfect presentation!
Our celebration of friendship and special milestones (50th anniversaries) was truly enhanced by the care and special touches you have provided. Many thanks, we hope you come back this way again!

Ish & Ashley,
You two far exceeded all of our expectations! The gourmet meals and the presentations were 6 star, it’s hard to believe you can cook like that on a boat. Captain Ish’s mastery of making delicious and creative “island” drinks had us anxiously waiting for cocktail hour every afternoon. You willingness to work with us and cater to our every need was greatly appreciated. We have been to the BVI’s a number of times but every day you created new adventures! And new memories. This experience - trip has been on our bucket list for years and now you have us looking forward to doing it again with you two. Now it’s off to Betty Fords and then home… bummer. Thanks for everything,
Greg & Rosemary

Ashley & Ish,
What an amazing week - thank you!
Who knew the “best-chef-ever” was also a stand-up comic, and our captain had a funky musical side. We are all sincerely grateful for your hospitality and guidance. If only we didn’t have to wait for four days to get that wonderful guacamole… LOL. Ish - superb Painkillers and Espresso Martinis!! Also, what a fun “obstacle course” you created, although any video of the Dads attempting it that surface in public would be unfortunate. HAHA. Sincerely appreciate your contribution to our fantastic BVI memories!!

Dear Ish & Ashley,
Thank you for a wonderful week of sailing in the BVIs! We really appreciate your kindness, your humor, your knowledge, and your professionalism.
Ish, your knowledge of sailing, the boat, and the islands made us feel safe and secure for our journey. We appreciate you taking time to help us create lasting memories of diving, hiking, water sports and fishing.
Ashley, your meals were a highlight of our trip. You did a great job of curating a week of amazing meals with complex flavors. We feel so spoiled! Thank you again for not just being a part of this boat but also part of the experience. Stay safe and best wishes! We hope to cross path again someday!

Dear Ish & Ashley,
Thank you so much for this week of relaxation and fun. My favorite part of the whole trip may have been the spikeball or the hike we did. I appreciate everything y’all have done for us in making this trip worth it. Ish, it was so much fun just kinda hanging out with you even though I never had an answer of your least favorite or weirdest patron. Team Craw-Ish absolutely destroyed my dad and Preston which was a highlight of the trip. Ashley, it was fun to hang out with you and just chill. I loved literally like everything you gave us. It’s difficult to decide what was the best meal that we had because it was all so good. I have a question for both of you though: Would I fit in in LA?

Dear Ish and Ashley,
Thank you both for making our family trip to the BVIs very memorable. You both made the experience amazing and very relaxing. Ish, your knowledge in every area was extremely helpful to us and made everyone feel extremely safe. You were a great person to hang around and talk to. Spikeball in Anegada was much more fun with you. Ashley, your cooking was some of the best I have ever had and every meal was perfectly put together. Food back home is not going to taste the same after a week of your amazing cooking. You were great to be around and talk to about music. I hope you enjoy your My Chemical Romance and Nickelback after this. You two were the best crew we could ask for. Thank you for being great this week.
Sincerely,
Preston
