A truly amazing week!
"Marie would always ask for feedback and cared so much about what we ate. Gavin would do whatever we want – tubing, fishing, and finding the best spots!"
— Greyson, 11 years old

'The Best Week Ever!' Our entire family agrees on that statement. We had wonderful adventures of paddleboarding, fishing, snorkeling, tubing, and exploring what each island had to offer.
Thank you Captain Gavin and Chef Marie for such a great time with the best food!
We hope to return to this beautiful place. Thank you!
Love the 'Gabes'
May 2025 BVI Charter
We had an incredible time on Philotimo! Thank you Captain Gavin!
We saw the most beautiful sights and made memories to last a lifetime. This trip was to celebrate the first of us turning 30! and it will be hard to top... guess we'll just have to come back. We got to see so much marine wildlife snorkeling, Joey was happiest to find a baby shark.
It's been a perfect time to rest, relax, and enjoy the beautiful islands!
Thanks again to Capt. Gavin for working so hard to ensure we had a perfect trip! We also went viral on this trip!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

June 2025 BVI Charter
We had the most unbelievable time on Philotimo and made memories to last a lifetime! It was everything and more that we dreamed it would be. Gavin was incredible - so patient, knowledgeable, and always up for any activity the kids wanted to do. He's a fabulous chef too!
This was our first visit to the BVI and Gavin did an amazing job of showing us around. This trip will be hard to beat but already hoping to be back again soon!

August 2025 Grenada/Grenadines Charter
Dear Captain Gavin & Jonathan,
We cannot articulate our extreme appreciation on one page, for an incredible week! From Grenada all the way up to Bequia and back - it was full of incredible memories. Gavin, your talent behind the helm is only eclipsed by your extraordinary culinary skills! Every meal was a celebration and the accommodations you made including the most delicious gluten free chocolate birthday cake! Each meal was delicious and completely different - The fresh fish! The pastries! The salads! The seasonings! All perfection!
Jonathan, your patience and provisions for our outings and the fishing was wonderful. A definite highlight were the night swims where our family was given the opportunity to see God's creation in such beautiful color; Tarpon, rays, eel, turtle, even a shark (day time only). You both made our daughters birthday truly celebratory with dinner and balloons!
Thank you for taking us back to our beloved PSV where we honeymooned in 1993! You have blessed our family with a week of lifetime memories! Thank you is not enough!
May God richly, fully encompass you, your families and your lives! May his favor rest on each of you for all the ways you patiently, kindly, enthusiastically served our family - Bless you!
P.S. Your two enigmatic smiles will take with us along with our other memories.
John, Ellen, Gardner, Margaret, Sarah & Jackson
