AZURIA Guest Comments
January 13th-20th, 2024 BVI
Dear Kristen and Captain Luke,
As we spend our last night with you on Azuria, we remember back to the fantastic time we have had this past week. From the time we stepped on the yacht, you two have taken impeccable care of us. We have seen parts of the world that we would not have gotten to without your safety measures and excellent knowledge. You are an efficient and master captain. The sails were so exciting. The briefings and the care you took of us was superb. Kristen - the food was exquisite, and your chef abilities are excellent. We appreciated every meal and the presentation. Loved your personal knowledge of the snorkel sites. Overall, awesome, exceptional, and gorgeous trip.
Thank you both,
Becky and Jim
Luke and Kristen,
Thank you for a truly memorable trip. Your attention to detail and level of service were simply amazing. The itinerary you put together for us was incredible. A fantastic first sailboat charter and trip throughout the BVI. We'll be back! Kristen, your food was fantastic. Fresh and tasty every single meal! You are a genius in the kitchen and everything else you did, didn't go unnoticed. Luke you are a great captain! We felt like we were in great hands all week. Your table setting and bar tending skills were also great! Can't wait to get back to Peter Island, Cooper Island, The Baths, Bitter End, Anegada, Cane Garden Bay, Jost and Norman Island aboard Azuria!

Luke and Kristen,
When we arrived on the Azuria, Luke said this would be our home for the week. Having not previously spent any time on a boat, I was not sure how it would feel like a home. But, almost immediately, it did. We were almost immediately comfortable, at ease, and taking in all the beauty, the quiet, and the elements. And of course, everything the two of you did for us, seemingly all the time, made our comfort and ease possible. Your warm and endless hospitality, your attention to every detail, and the FOOD! I should say the food twice because it was so amazing, the nightly chart readings, the cocktails, and the feeling of being cared for and tended to all the time. Will was always seaworthy, but I feel seaworthy now. Thank you so much, we hope to be back.

"I planned this trip in 2024 after retiring to fulfill a bucket list item and it was so phenomenal I had to return in 2025. The week was amazing, and Luke and Kristen lived up to every expectation and delivered even more. Thanks so much for the second trip of a lifetime." -M.B.
