Dear Suzana and Martin,
This was the best trip I've ever had in my life. (PS thanks for the cupcakes)

The Penny Jo is a lovely vessel that provided a perfect home for our group of 3 couples (all 65+) with various levels of sailing experience.
It's well cared for and well provisioned.
Our crew, Martin and Suzana provided a perfect experience in every way. The food, the sailing, the experiences and the anchorages all exceeded our expectations. They have a joyful and unintrusive way of providing exactly what we needed when we needed it. They are a great team, and we expect to sail with them again.

Sailing on the Penny Jo with Suzana and Martin was nothing short of extraordinary. The moment we set out on the stunning, crystal‑blue ocean, it was obvious we were in the best hands possible. The water was so beautiful it felt unreal, and they made sure we had every opportunity to enjoy it.
Suzana was incredible from start to finish. Her warmth and attentiveness made the trip feel personal, and the food she prepared was fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you’d ever expect on a boat. We were amazed at the wonderful meals she prepared in such a small kitchen. Every meal added something special to the day.
Martin brought the perfect balance to the experience. His sailing skills were impressive and his timing for excursions was amazing. He always had us in the perfect spot before any crowds showed up. But it was his humor that really made the trip fun. His one liners always landed at just the right time, keeping everyone smiling without ever breaking the peaceful rhythm of the ocean around us.
Together, Suzana and Martin create an atmosphere that’s relaxed, fun, and memorable. Between the breathtaking water, the amazing food, and the effortless good vibes, our time on the Penny Jo was unforgettable.
If you get the chance to sail with Suzanna and Martin take it — you won’t forget it.

Our family recently had the vacation of a lifetime aboard Penny Jo
Charters.
From the moment we stepped onboard, Captain Martin and Chef Suzana made us feel completely at home. Martin's knowledge of the Exumas was incredible, and he took us to some of the most breathtaking locations we've ever seen. The scenery was spectacular, and every day brought a new adventure.
Suzana's meals were absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully prepared, delicious, and seemed to perfectly complement our days on the water. We looked forward to every meal as much as the next destination.
What truly made this trip special was the hospitality. Martin and Suzana went above and beyond to ensure our family had an unforgettable experience. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel like honored family rather than guests. Martin would share daily photos of us which were not only incredible but I so appreciated them as we tend to not take enough photos on family vacations!
The views, the food, the experiences and the memories we made will last a lifetime. We simply can't say enough about Martin and Suzana-they were fantastic in every way. If you're considering a charter in the Exumas, Penny Jo Charters is an easy five-star recommendation!
