Joe & Mandy are the ultimate hosts - seeing to our every need & comfort. Joe took us to some of the most beautiful bays - for scenery & snorkeling. We were able to see a variety of fish - including barracuda, starfish, stingray and turtle. The Indians have the most beautiful snorkeling! Another great sail week with Joe and Mandy.

The perfect mix of secluded bays and busy beaches! Snorkeling, swimming, jumping off Willy T's in the clear water was amazing to get to share with our boys! Chef Mandy always cooked up the perfect meals for us!
Thank you AGAIN for sharing your beautiful floating home with our family! This vacation was everything and more we wanted as we showed the Bigs the BVI and Collins' 1st sailing trip! <3

The extraordinary experiences we shared on this trip with the incomparable Mandy and Joe will forever hold a special place in all of our hearts. Every quiet cove and wonderous snorkel spot (Scrub Island, The Indians, Diamond Cay off Sandy Spit, Ginger Island, Peter Island, Norman, etc) We loved SUPing in the mangroves off Beef Island, and meeting the locals in Great Harbor, Jost Van Dyke. So much beautiful sea life under the water - the gorgeously blue Caribbean Sea! Every meal Mandy prepared was delicious and inviting. The upkeep and detailed maintenance & cleanliness of the boat were much appreciated.
This was our first sailboat charter in the BVI - our first crewed charter ever. We had high expectations but were uniformly blown away(!) by Mandy and Joe's phenomenal teamwork to keep us all happy and everything working smoothly. We were able to relax to the fullest, felt pampered and care for, SAFE & SECURE in Joe and Mandy's friendly and professional hands. We are honored and grateful to have had this time together with Mandy and Joe on Kuma Too! <3
P.S. Daily cocktail specials were excellent! Delicious painkillers, margaritas, purple rains (mocktails too!) bushwhackers and great wine selections - paired by Mandy to go perfectly with all of her scrumptious delights!
P.P.S. We also loved sailing on the sleek, super fast KUMA TOO. The lines and look of this yacht are unique and attractive - for us a cut above many of the other charters out there.
LOVED EVERY MINUTE of this TRIP!

Joe and Mandy are incredible hosts! Their attention to detail is impeccable! Joe finds the perfect bays & beaches & peaceful spots to anchor & take in all the amazing scenery - both above and below the water. Mandy's cooking is out of this world!! Every meal was unique & fabulous in both presentation & flavor! They took the time to get to know us & always picked the perfect things for us to enjoy every single day!
Favorite Memories include: snorkeling in the most beautiful clear blue water, stargazing, a day in Anegada - lobsters and conch, baby oil on the water pad - who can face off first :-), Jost Van Dyke, White Bay, Tipsy Shark, drinks of the day, pork belly ramen, rainbows, tubing, kneeboarding, and kayaking.
Even old "Dad" was keeping up with boys and their sliding on the pad and an epic knee board ride with sunset.
Thank you for opening up your amazing home & giving us the best vacation we have ever experienced! We're not sure how we can return to normal life after such red carpet treatment! There is no other way to vacation in the BVI!!
