XANDROS Guest Comments
February 2025 BVI Charter
Cam, Jada & Sam,
Thank you for an amazing family vacation. The food was off the charts, the diving and watersports so much fun, and the cocktails and attention to details perfect.
What an amazing experience. I can't thank you enough for providing an exceptional week full of cool adventure, amazing food and memories to last a lifetime.
Cannot thank you guys enough for just a wonderful trip! Sam - your meals were incredible! Jada - your attention to detail and cocktails were so memorable! And Cam - you always kept us on our toes with all the amazing activities! We will miss Xandros, hope we can meet again soon! Lots of luck, and all the best to your amazing team.

March 2025 BVI Charter
"Wow! Where does one begin when asked to describe 'heaven on earth'? Pure bliss, unparalleled happiness, as close to perfection as a week can get.
Six of us had the great fortune of chartering Xandros for a full week - our "Melebration" - seven days celebrating the 50th birthday of my wife, Melody - the coolest lady on the planet (we all agreed that Jada was undoubtedly most people's obvious choice!)
We came in search of beautiful geography, hidden coves and memorable sunsets. What we got was so much more. While the locations in the BVIs are incomparable, it was Cam, Jada & Chef Sam who made this truly the trip of a lifetime.
Cap Cam - you deserve to be the star of the next Avengers team. A true to life modern day superhero. Is there nothing that you cannot do on the high seas? And a brilliant sense of humor to boot!
Ms. Jada - you are queen of hospitality, high princess of the BVIs. Your secret power seems to be the ability to read minds and anticipate the needs of everyone of your needy high maintenance guests (we like to think that we're so easy going, but I'm quite confident it's far from the truth). You do it all with true grace.
And Chef Sam - I'll put your masterful dishes up against any Michelin chef in the world (and let's see them do it solo in a galley kitchen with an induction stove!) Each dish inspiring mouthwatering awe and full of creative inspiration, unbelievable, incredible - pull out the thesaurus to describe your culinary skill & prowess.
And thanks to all for sharing your home with us. We hope that we were worthy & thankful guests.
May our paths cross again in the future. All the best & much love.
Ryan, Melody, Peter, Lee, Mike & Ali

Cam, Jada & Sam,
What an amazing 7 days with you on Xandros! Words can't express how much we appreciate the 5-star level of service... and the FOOD! Every meal was like Christmas morning. Thanks for spoiling us and giving us a very special week. We can't wait to see what life has in store for you three. You are truly special!
Tim & Kerri Murphy
Dear Cam, Jada & Sam,
Words can't thank you enough! We had a week to remember always.
Bill & Lisa
Dear Cam, Jada & Sam, thank you for an amazing trip. The food was AMAZING!!! But what was better was the atmosphere the three of you had on the boat.

Past Reviews for Tyler, Cole, and Rachel
Tyler Armstrong – Captain
"Captain Ty was amazing! So knowledgeable about the area and made us feel completely safe. He even fixed our drone when it crashed on the beach! A great mix of professional and fun — couldn’t recommend him more!" - Charter guest, S/V Pelican
“Due to flight delays, we arrived after 9 pm to a beautifully set vessel. Ty and Claire work seamlessly together, are very professional yet personable and approachable. Both were very observant to our individual preferences, crafting the perfect meals and itinerary while still being
flexible. Everything was kept clean and well maintained. Every detail of the week far exceeded our expectations. Ty and Claire felt like family. As our family of adults depart, we already look forward to a return. We have made spectacular family memories.”
- Cindy, S/V Krazy Kat
Cole Lackey – Chef
"We were blown away by every meal. Cole has a real gift for making fine dining feel casual and relaxed. My husband is a chef and even he was impressed! The transatlantic menu alone should win awards." - Guest, Entre 4 (Atlantic Crossing 2024)
Rachel McArdle – Stewardess
"Rachel is sunshine. Every morning she had coffee waiting, a fresh table set, and a smile that just made the day better. Thank you again for organizing the beach bonfire, we appreciate you going above and beyond to make this anniversary unforgettable." - The Cooks, Mare Blu 2025
“We had such a special time on this unforgettable voyage. Thank you for your kindness, humor, and helping create such a relaxing trip! We will
cherish these days forever. We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and amazing attention to detail. Thank you for putting up with our crazy kids. You made it so special for them.” - The Grossman Family, Mare Blu 2024
November 2025 BVI Charter
Captain Tyler, Stew Rachel, and Chef Cole deliver a level of service that exceeds every expectation. They consistently anticipate our needs—before we even voice them—making the entire experience feel seamless and personalized.
Captain Tyler is an exemplary leader: calm, confident, and clearly highly qualified. His steady presence sets the tone for a stress free trip. Rachel ensures that everyone feels cared for at all times. Her professionalism, kindness, and instinct for guest comfort are top notch. And Chef Cole is, without question, the most talented chef we have encountered in our travels. Every meal is remarkable, both in flavor and presentation. (The lobster donuts are especially noteworthy!)
Their collective warmth, skill, and commitment to excellence made this charter truly exceptional. We would happily book with this crew again and will be recommending them enthusiastically.
Thank you for assembling such an outstanding team. They represent Xandros with distinction.
