Olivia Charles Guest Comments
January 2025 Ladies Charter
There are not adequate words to express how much we enjoyed this truly magical experience and how grateful we are to the two of you. The entire week was perfection- from. Tommy's fun drinks and exceptional sailing to Emma's out-of-this world food and consummate professionalism and kindness. We have laughed (and laughed until we cried), and on and on. None of us will EVER forget this trip, and we are going home begrudgingly.......but with memories that will last a lifetime. You all (y'all) are ALWAYS welcome in Kentucky, and we will treat you to the very bourbon, fondly, Rebekah, Shannon, April, Brooke, Shannon G, & Jenny

Tommy and Emma,
Such a perfect week! A little rain made it all more fun and adventurous. Emma I don’t know how you create such meals that should be winning awards instead of disappearing as fast as we can consume every bite. Tommy, I don’t even drink and I had the very best cocktails ever! Annie and Patty kept you busy, but you kept them happy as I’ve ever seen them! The picnic was so fun. You two are what really made the entire week memorable. You went above and way beyond, thank you so much,
Bruce, Eileen, Patty, Rick and Annie

Emma and Tommy,
Another year where our family is fortunate enough to spend a week with you both aboard the Olivia Charles. This week in the BVI has exceeded our expectations. The food, the sharing of boating and local island knowledge, the sailing and motoring about along with your absolutely wonderful company has been nothing short of amazing.
As I write this I’m sitting on the bow, looking out over Little Harbour. It’s Bea out, the sky is clear blue as is the water, and I’m listening to the waves lap against the shore. Thank you for giving us all these moments, along with the adventures of hiking, snorkelling, swimming and kneeboarding! Until next March these memories will serve us well. With love and appreciation for all you do,
Kathleen, Pete & family
May 2025 charter
To sail in the BVI has been my dream trip and this week exceeded all of my expectations largely due to
you, Tommy and Emma! You have treated us like family and catered to our every whim (and there were lots!). The two of you work together like poetry. Your mastery of the boat made us feel safe at all times. You maintain the boat as if it were your child. It is beautiful and clean and inviting and comfortable. Tommy’s endless cocktails were a delight and what can we say about the food??!! Emma, we truly do not know how you can whip up such wonderful, creative, delicious and beautiful dishes, day after day in the tiny galley! ……..5 star every meal!.
The endless beautiful sights and activities have created lifelong memories for us all. We truly feel blessed to have had the great fortune to spend a week with you in the BVI! God willing, we will meet up with you again. Please look us up if you ever get to Atlanta!
With all our love and greatest of thanks, K family

Below is the email I just sent to the crew of the Olivia Charles which I think says it all.
We have been doing crewed yacht charters for over 30 years, and they are the best crew we have ever had. (we sailed with them in Grenadines in 2024 with a similar experience.) The boat was very spacious and comfortable, in pristine condition and the service was impeccable. We would sail with this crew any time.
On behalf of our group, I wanted to tell you how special you made our week in the BVI. We felt we were in a world class restaurant and hotel for 7 days! We have had some funny texts between the group since we left complaining of “ having to mix my own drink” or “ having to make my bed”.
The food was exquisite in diversity, quality, flavor and presentation…a Michelin star performance by the chef! We also enjoyed both of your company and hospitality. Tommy, your attention to detail and everyone’s comfort and safety was greatly appreciated. Our deepest thanks to you for giving us a wonderful week of vacation.
J.D.
