ISOLABLUE Guest Comments
28 February 2026
Our family had no idea of what to expect on this trip. Here's what we didn't expect:
A very cool couple with a lifetime of unique experiences, sharing their home with us
A gastronomical journey from meal to meal, with amazingly unexpected flavours for a family of 4, who each love to cook in our own ways, it was truly inspiring! (You made me enjoy foods I usually hate - Drew).
Patience and understanding with a new diver, and expert guidance to the best dive spots for the 3 of us who have certification
Willing spoon players late into the evening.
An excellent limbo dancer (Astrid)
A trip to remember for a lifetime.
Handwriting is no indication of the strong cocktails by Laurent!

Wow! Where do we begin? If we had prior expectations they were completely blown away by Astrid and Laurent. From the moment we arrived on board they made us feel welcome and at home. Listening to your stories and knowledge of the islands and sailing adventures kept us all intrigued at every moment.
The passion that you have at this "career" you have masterfully crafted is evident in all that you do. From Astrid's undeniable talent with food that left us all smiling and drooling with each flavor. To Laurent's love for diving that took each one of us on an unforgettable underwater adventure.
To say this was the trip of a lifetime, feels like it does not do enough justice to how truly amazing this week really was. We are all so happy we were able to spend Stephen's 50th birthday celebrating with you this way.
The vibrant colors of the Caribbean waters, the lush landscapes, the curious underwater creatures, and the ever welcoming friendly locals will stay with us all.
There is no way to truly say thank you for such an amazing adventure. Thank you a hundred times. Stephen, Craig and guests

BROKER REVIEW
Hi Captain Laurent & Chef Astrid,
I wanted to share with you the great feedback we received from my clients about their charter on Isolablue. I’ve no doubt, they'll be back to repeat their very positive experience with you in the future.
I am looking forward to continuing the relationship we’ve established and booking more charters for my clients on your yacht.
Captain: 5/5
Comments Laurent was amazing, any questions we had he answered and provided much knowledge as we were sailing. Felt safe and relaxed throughout the entire trip.
Rest of the crew: 5/5
Comments Astrid was amazing as well, the attention to detail to us as guests that we were comfortable as well as to the meals she created were beyond words.
How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, features, general maintenance, etc) 5/5
Comments As far as a our first boating experience we didn't have any thing to compare but now after sailing on the Isolablue for a week it blew any expectations we had out of the water. Overall the layout of the boat and seating areas was very comfortable and perfect for our group.
How would you qualify the itinerary 5/5
Comments Astrid and Laurent picked up very quickly that we were a very laid back group and looking for relaxing, serene and peaceful landscapes. They planned the itinerary to showcase just those features, showing off the beautiful Caribbean islands and how peaceful and beautiful on land and water.
How would you qualify the sports and leisure activities/equipment on board 5/5
Comments We were mainly interested in snorkeling and trail dives, which Laurent offered successfully and took us to the best spots to enjoy those activities.
How would you qualify the food and drinks 5/5
Comments Not one bad thing to say about the food or drinks! The food was like artwork every time a dish was prepared and tasted amazing. The drinks offered whether it be one of Laurents tasty Rum cocktails, or an ice cold beer were top notch!
How would you qualify the entire experience of your trip 5/5
Comments Trip of a lifetime! This was our first experience on a chartered boat, and to say we are now spoiled for all future vacations is an understatement.
PLEASE ADD ANY OTHER COMMENTS: Astrid and Laurent individually are amazing people at the services they provide, together they are even more amazing and a great team. They made us feel like we were travelling with lifelong friends, from the evening stories, to drinks on deck watching the sunsets and listening to their own adventures through the years. They truly showcased the beauty of the Caribbean islands and introduced us to some wonderfully friendly locals.
To anyone on the fence about doing a charter vacation I highly urge you to book the trip, book the boat, and let Isolable take you on the adventure of a lifetime.
Once again you knocked it out of the park! Thank you for all of your hardwork with this group! They had a wonderful time! 5⭐!
Kind regards, Lesli

Dearest Astrid & Laurent,
Once again, you have created a magical space for us to spend precious time together as a family. You are so intentional in how you take care of us - it leaves a beautiful, indelible mark on our family. This trip, we loved that Laurent introduced our girls to the wonders of scuba diving. I think his patient teaching opened up a new passion for them. His open, easy smile will stay with us until we are with you again. And to our Astrid, who my daughters think may be an angel, thank you for every single thoughtful meal and detail. Thank you for your sage advice to our girls. I am ready to go home with renewed aspiration to prepare meals with creativity and love. You are two of our most favorite people and we can’t wait to see you again.
With love,
A & C
This has been the best trip. I loved celebrating Laurent’s birthday dinner. I hope that we can come back and get scuba certified next year (if possible). You both are amazing people that are very welcoming. I have never had a bad moment on this boat. Thank you for making an amazing environment and my favorite vacation.
Thank you Astrid for being so accommodating during meals.

To our friends Laurent & Astrid,
The « Salty Six » are so grateful to you for a magical week in your lovely home. We are so very glad you opened our eyes to St. Vincent and the Grenadines - and WOW !!! How awesome it has been ! Astrid - you are a 5-Star Chef, we are very grateful for all the adaptations you made to accommodate our food needs / dietary restrictions. Every meal was pure magic. Our favorites were the daily juices (particularly guava-banana) and of course the Lolo’s in the evening (Lolo before wine - everything is fine). Mark & Grant loved diving with you Laurent and the snorkelling, particularly in Tobago Cays was remarkable. Mark (& Beth) will always remember being beached on the rock at St. Vincent and is now well aware of the hand signals needed to indicate distress. Jason was in heaven learning about sailing & the boat - and we have the pictures to show it ! Thank you for taking us to the Lobster BBQ - what a fantastic night. But more than all of this, thank you for expertly opening your world to all of us. For the entire week we wanted for nothing and truly felt like we were with family. You are forever in our memories and our dreams as we fondly remember one of the best weeks - EVER !
All our love,
B, M, E, G, S, J
