Incredible Birthday

Dear B and K,

Words cannot express how incredible the two of you made my birthday/what an experience of a lifetime! You guys are the most thoughtful and sweetest couple, and we are beyond lucky to have spent the last week with you! We have been so spoiled and it’ll definitely be hard to adjust back to reality/and land, ugh! Land pools will never be the same. Nor will regular bacon! I still will never understand how K worked her magic in that tiny kitchen plus broken freezer/it is truly wizardly! Beyond the phenomenal food and service you guys provided, your professionalism and attention to detail is unparalleled. This will undoubtably be one of the best birthdays of my life. Thank you guys for everything and please reach out if you find yourself in San Diego. I’ll miss you guys so much!!

Love, Christine

Queen Karen and Captain B,

Thank you for a beyond fabulous time that exceeded all expectations. All future vacations are ruined! You both have such a bright light that is rare to find. Karen, your food was delicious and I wish I could eat it every day. B – thank you for your dad jokes and keeping my nerves calm. You both have forever left the best memories engraved in my brain. I hope to cross paths soon. Thank you for making the trip AMAZING! It was amazing to know It wasn’t a scam. You’re even better looking than your motto! You both made the trip for Greg everything I could have dreamed of!

Karen and Captain B!

This was the most amazing trip, a trip of a lifetime! Without you two I don’t think it would have been! Between the amazing food, the knowledge of the islands, fish, social scenes, and restaurants in addition to the drinks, and the overall positive and happy atmosphere. You two really know how to make a family feel special. Thank you for your hospitality and warm and amazing service! You two are a beautiful couple. I hope in a few years we might cross paths again. If not, I wish you both the best, it was a pleasure getting to know you.

Thank you so much for an amazing trip, and a wonderful introduction to chartering. Your knowledge of the islands, personality, and wonderful cooking made the trip the best it could be! Hopefully our paths can cross again someday. Thank you!

Captain B & Chef K,

I could not have picked a better way to spend my 60th birthday. This trip was even better than I could’ve hoped for. You guys are amazing and we were spoiled to no end. The hosting was over the top and could not have been better! The recommended ports were amazing and I feel like we got to see the most beautiful parts of the Virgin Islands. My family loved being with you on this trip and you made everything special. My sincerest thanks for a wonderful birthday.

All the best,

Greg

K and B,

Thank you for the best vacation ever! You both made our family feel special and loved. Greg‘s birthday week was one to remember. We will never forget our time on Blue Pepper. The food was the best even better than any restaurants in Denver. Karen, you have inspired me to be a better cook. Thank you for the memories!

-Stacey

Thank you so much for an unforgettable vacation and helping to make my dad’s 60th amazing. Chef K all the meals were outstanding and wonderful. I am 10 pounds heavier leaving St. Thomas. Captain B, thank you for showing us all of the amazing spots and all the information on sailing.

Sincerely,

Joseph Toler



A Terrific charter once again!

Captain B & Mrs. K,

Once again, this was such an amazing trip. You never fail to make me and everyone else laugh. You all made this trip so special and fun. I was looking forward to coming back since I stepped off the boat last year! Mrs. K you’re cooking is truly memorable. I am going to miss you all so much! I hope you have the best 2024!!

-Tony

Karen and Brendan,

Before writing this, I revisited my book entry from the exact same day last year. Every word I wrote there is equally applicable to the experience we’ve had the last six days. The only notable differences would be our expectations were even higher this year with us having a full year under our belt from land time. Yet… somehow someway you once again, exceeded them all,
and did so with only the two of you working even harder to take care of us in every way. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for a second incredible experience. While there are multiple factors that made this week what it is, the boat, the locations, the weather, incredible food… the two of you sharing the experience with us is the single biggest factor, by far. Who you are as people and how you work together to do what you do will never be forgotten. Karen and B you will always be family to us. If you are ever traveling anywhere close to Charlotte, it would be our honor to host you to try and give a small fraction of the care and comfort you’ve given us.
Until our next adventure together!

Love,
Taylor

Captain B & Special K!

I’ll try to think of one word to describe this trip and the word full comes to mind. Our time was full of laughter, beautiful places, and amazing experiences. No question that our stomachs are full! Full of the food and recipes we will try to re-create because all of us enjoyed them so much. Granted, we may have to limit the cinnamon roll intake! But more importantly, our hearts are full! We love how much you take care of us, how much you enjoy Tony and Weston, and how close we’ve all become. You really are family! I’m going to sign off before my eyes are full of tears. We love you guys!

The best vacation with the best people! Captain B, and Special K you are unmatched and made this trip so unbelievably special!

Now to start planning our next voyage aboard Blue Pepper.
