April 28 - May 5 Group Trip! - rebooked a 2nd trip
Captain Jake & Chef Stef,
Thank you so much for a magical week. It was beyond relaxing and beautiful. Each meal and location seemed so well thought out. Honestly even just someone understanding and remembering my coffee orders each morning as a mom is a priceless treat. Thank you also for sharing your amazing dog with us. His presence just exudes happiness and joy. Maybe I’ll be coming back coming back as Parker in another life. Thanks again, Allie
Captain Jake, Chef Stef & Parker,
Amazing once in a lifetime experience. You balanced being present and caring with giving us space. The food was exquisite. Snorkeling was so fun. We managed not to burn thanks to your warning about the sun. I am normally more eloquent but right now I am feeling sniffly. The extra care you gave our party member recovering from a medical procedure was exemplary. Thank you for making all his dreams capable based on his current health.
Parker, you are the bestest dog and I do not have a dog, so I have cherished snuggling, petting, and kissing on you.
Not goodbye...Till we see you again, Dawn & Rick
All I ask… is a tall ship and a star to steer her by - John Masefield. When the poet wrote these words they meant the stars above, used to navigate the world before the magic of satellites and GPS and radio. Little did he know the true stars are the crew. And nowhere in the cosmos above are there brighter stars than the crew of the Dragonfly. Jake - always willing to explain or repeat an explanation. Stef - who will laugh when replacing the third strange snack request. And Chief Cuddle Officer Parker, whose very queer hair welcomes visitors from around the world with cheerful love and affection. Stars are magic- like the magic of hospitality, service, delight, curiosity, and adventure. May all their shanty songs be joyful and may all their sea tales have only happy ending. Laurie
Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker!
THANK YOU for a truly magical week. Your love and attention to every detail made everyday unbelievably joyful. We loved everything about this holiday (and Pat certainly enjoyed all of the incredibly delicious food twice over…) Thank you for making his 55th the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. These are memories we will cherish for a lifetime. With love, Heather and Pat
Dear Captain Jake, Chef Stef, and Officer Parker (!)
This was the first time I have ever been on a chartered yacht (for more than a day trip). I have no doubt that you spoiled me for any other charters! The yacht itself was gorgeous and in such excellent condition - it felt like you purchased it just for us! But truly, what made this vacation so magical was your attention, care, thoughtfulness, and clear pleasure in providing an unforgettable experience. I want to give you a special shout out to the care you provided to one of the members of our group who was recovering from a medical condition. Your balance of professionalism and service, while always ensuring that this guest was able to maintain his dignity and independence, was truly above and beyond anything we could have anticipated. With Gratitude, Karen
May 7- 14, 2026 - "3 time repeats"
To two of our favorite people- Thank you so much for a wonderful time once again. These times chartering with y’all has been 3 amazingly different experiences. Always a great time, great diving, and great fellowship. We can’t wait to come back and experience even more! So lucky to have found such great friends doing something we absolutely love! I can’t say thank you enough! See you soon!!! K&W
May 15-21, 2026 review - "Trip of a lifetime"
Stef & Jake,
I don’t think there is any way we can thank you enough for this priceless gift of time together, relaxing, enjoying each other, laughing together, forgetting life’s worries for a while. We had a truly amazing time - an epic trip of a lifetime. We are walking away closer as a family, a little more patient and a lot more loving to each-other. You were amazing hosts and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will forever cherish the time and the memories and are privileged to call you family! Thank you again - I can't say thank you enough. Love The Parker Family.
May 2026 - Epic Vacation
Stef, Jake an Parker-
Where to begin? What to say that hasn’t already been said by everyone that has the privilege and true pleasure to sail with you guys! What an epic vacation for our little family. Such warm hospitality and amazing food. The table decorations were so fun too. Small things make the greatest impact. Thank you for making my “sailing in 60” and Stephens retirement moments in our life that we will never forget.
I know our kids will look back at this trip many years from now and remember it as the “best trip ever”. And in Haley’s words “Soggy” is the best bar in the world Thank you for sharing Parker with us. We are all dog people and he is the icing on the cake! This is not, "thanks and goodbye" but rather “see you soon in the Grenadines!”
With true love and gratitude. Stephen and Tracey, Eric and Haley, Jesse and Hannah
June 2026 - Multi-Generational trip
Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker,
What an amazing week we had getting too know you and Parker. This is a vacation like no other. It was a week of beautiful weather, fabulous food and very zen vibe. It wasn’t rushed, chaotic or stressful. A true barefoot vacation…my feet don’t remember shoes. Entry back into real life will be a shock to our systems.
Thank you for the memories and great food, but most of all sharing Parker with us. Jane & Paul
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. We had a wonderful week, you spoiled us with excellent food, care and love like if we were family. Marielena & Rafael
Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker,
I am actually sad to leave. Thank you for making a trip with both sets of in-laws seamless and relaxing! Certifying Hayes and Mason to dive will be a memory none of us will forget. On to planning our next trip with ya’ll! Much love and gratitude, Chris, Yvett, Hayes, and Mason
