How would you describe your yacht? Was the yacht comfortable and clean? Well ventilated? Sufficient Shade? Sufficient Space to relax?
Our charter yacht was very comfortable - each cabin had its own bathroom and lots of storage space as well as plugs for electronics. The master, where we stayed, had a little desk as well. The flybridge was a lovely space that always had lots of shade, comfy seating and a cool breeze. The AC worked very well and we were very comfortable.
How would you describe your crew? Were they courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Accompanied you on your activities/land excursions? Wore uniforms and acted professionally?
Captain Kyle and Chef Robyn were amazing! They were incredibly attentive and anticipated our needs. The Captain had a superb grasp of the area and history, and our nickname for him became Captain Siri because he was so knowledgeable and always had great answers to any of our questions. They were very professional and made this a great experience for us.
Was the food great and well presented? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your crew pay attention to your preference sheets?
The food was delicious, Chef Robyn did a great job incorporating our preferences and each plate and table setting (which changed every meal) was impeccable. You can tell she takes great care in her work and we benefitted immensely.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your charter?
Every day was fantastic.

The yacht was beautiful and comfortable- much more so than I expected! A variety of spots to be in the shade if wanted or in the sun. The bed was comfortable and the shower water hot! The yacht had great communal spaces to hang out in.

Kyle and Robyn were AMAZING. They made the trip for us. We throughly enjoyed getting to know them, learning about sailing from their expertise, and getting to know the area based on their knowledge. They felt like a very natural extension of our group and we were sad to leave them at the end of our trip!

The food was delicious! Robyn made the meals a surprise and we loved each and every one. She accommodated non-seafood eaters with a different protein which was very much appreciated. We were impressed with the variety of table scapes and beautiful presentation. No detail was overlooked.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your charter?:
The pace was perfect- we wanted to see a lot on a shorter charter and Kyle made it happen!

The Best Charter By Far - 2 previous BVI/USVI charters
My name is William and I wanted to share how wonderful our recent charter (June 6-13) was on the A3 with Kyle Bevan and Tiggy (Antigua) Steward.
Previously we’ve been on 2 charters (Caribbean Dream 2012 and Big Nauti 2021) to the BVI and USVI so we’re familiar with the experience and trip. We took our children (17 yr and 21 yr boys) on this sailing trip for the first time as well. Wesley, who also sailed on the previous trips, and her children (22yr and 25yr) made up the rest of our group of 7.
Kyle was a spectacular captain and participated in everything with unlimited enthusiasm and energy. I could not imagine a captain being more involved on a charter than Kyle was with all of us. Water sport activities, clearly communicating our plan and options for each day, hiking and snorkeling with us, and more - he did it all with tireless zeal and incredible attention to detail. We’ve had great experiences during our previous charters, but having Kyle as captain on the A3 made it exceptional.
Tiggy was a late crew change as chef and first mate on the A3. Likewise, she was awesome. The meals she prepared were delicious and beautiful in presentation. She was kind, enthusiastic, involved, and was a huge part in making it such an exceptional trip. She and Kyle worked so hard and made themselves available with constant positive attitudes and smiles.
We loved the A3 catamaran but it was Kyle and Tiggy that made the trip for everyone. Their efforts were such that I would recommend them to anyone and would happily have them lead us on another charter in the future. We’ve had great experiences chartering in the BVI and USVI but this was the best because of them.
This Was The Best Of Them!
