Everything far exceeded our expectations – really we didn’t know what to expect, but we are sure glad we gave chartering a try because I think the family is hooked! Not only did you make the trip special for Corey’s birthday, but you also really made the girls feel special too. We cannot thank you enough for a truly wonderful, relaxing week in the beautiful BVI!
Thank you both for an amazing week at seas! You both went above and beyond making our first trip to the BVI very memorable. This was a 13th birthday trip Jeffrey will never forget! Joe, thank you for enriching Jeffrey’s love of sailing. Holly, the food and everything was exceptional. We enjoyed all of our wonderful conversations. We hope to come visit again. This was the most relaxing family time we have had in a long time. Thank you.

Thank you guys for the best rip I could have asked for! It was a pleasure to hear your stories, learn about the islands and have you all as the crew for our trip. Our parents have been talking about this trip as long as I can remember and you made it the best it could have been.
- I can’t wait to come back.

Wow, what an amazing week! Y’all are wonderful hosts making our experience aboard Knot 5280 one that will go down in the books as a unforgettable vacation. From the food (delicious!) to the activities, the accommodations, and great conversations, and did we mention the sights… the week flew by and we wish we could do it all over again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful world with us.
Thank you for sharing your home with us this week! We all had such a wonderful time – one that exceeded our expectations. From the food (amazing), tour guide duties, snorkeling to dinghy rides – you made it all memorable. We really felt at home when you started in on the jokes. Thanks for the fun birthday party at sea! Celebrating our birthdays, friendships and food fortune was made even more thoughtful by your sweet touches.
Thank you.

Beautifully maintained yacht, comfortable, certainly enough shade and plenty of variety for seating/lounging, ample storage in cabins.
Quietude of sailing, peacefulness, snorkeling (Indians in particular), meditations, cocktail hour with amazing charcuterie, fantastic meals with outstanding presentation, very accommodating to specific dietary needs/wants, stargazing, flexibility in finding peaceful anchorages, making real connections with the crew (Holly and Joe)!
Excellent communication about our dietary wants and needs, super accommodating, had more than enough of our preferred wine/spirits, such excellent presentation (table cloths, napkins, etc) for each meal, with a broad variety of super tasty meals/snacks, with the crew being very attentive and proactive.
Tried paddle boarding for the first time, very nice experience...lots of swimming and snorkeling, sat in the swim flotilla several times...great to have the options to partake in the water toys.
Holly and Joe were an excellent team, such friendly and enjoyable banter with all of us, and we felt totally safe with their ability to handle everything on the yacht. It was a true pleasure to sail with them!
