Late March guests aboard catamaran SUN GODDESS said:
Our family, boys ages 13 and 16, just returned from the most wonderful and perfect trip on board the 53ft Sun Goddess catamaran with our captains Cheryl Simmons and Kevin! Cheryl and Kevin shared their gorgeous boat and experience with us, making us feel like family every day. Cheryl made us the most delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert every day - each meal was a new favorite for the boys! The food was just perfect. I am home craving her key lime bars!
Captain Kevin was a match made in heaven.
For our family with adventurous teenage boys! Kevin was always up for a snorkel in the most beautiful spots, he had a line in the water to fish anytime, he taught our boys to knee board, and had all the water toys out every time we stopped! We so enjoyed the floating chairs, floating island, paddle boards, and on deck chairs and hammock! Kevin even jumped from the Willy T with the boys.
Cheryl arranged a great day on Anegada for us with scooters and a lobster dinner at Wonky Dog. We had so much fun using our scooters to explore the island! We spent much of the day at Tipsy’s - amazing!
The next day we sailed to Virgin Gorda where Cheryl had arranged for e-foil lessons for the boys! They had so much fun! There was so much to do, we spent two nights! We snorkled, went to the Baths (on a day Cheryl chose with no cruise ships), pirate show in Leverick, and some relaxing!
We loved Cooper island with the rum distillery and gorgeous mooring area. So peaceful and beautiful!
We called an audible and spent the last two nights at Norman Island. The cove was just so beautiful with crystal clear water, we couldn’t leave. Kevin led us around some amazing snorkeling, we visited the Willy T, and took full advantage of floating in the water!
We will forever consider Kevin and Cheryl our family as they took such good care of us on our adventure. They were both so kind and fun with our boys, getting to know them and laughing with them.

What a remarkable vacation in the British Virgin Islands! My wife, our 13-year-old son, and I had a wonderfully relaxing week aboard the 53-foot Sun Goddess catamaran, hosted by our exceptional captains, Cheryl and Kevin. Although these trips are typically planned months in advance, we made a last-minute decision to book this one. Cheryl facilitated the process with her quick responses, efficient planning, and straightforward contracting. Impressively, she even secured a fishing license for us in just a few days, which is not always an easy task.
The Sun Goddess proved to be a spacious and comfortable catamaran, fully equipped for both enjoyment and relaxation. Cheryl's culinary skills were outstanding, providing us with delicious meals throughout our journey. Each dish was customized to our tastes, and Cheryl consistently sought our feedback to enhance our experience. If you have the chance, be sure to request her homemade banana bread, it's simply fantastic!
While Cheryl expertly managed the galley, Kevin took charge of our daily entertainment and activities. Each day featured one or two excellent snorkeling spots, and once we were moored for the evening, Kevin would bring out various water toys for us to enjoy. We had a great time with the paddle boards, floating island, deck chairs, and the hammock that was always set up at the bow of the boat each night. To add to the excitement, Kevin had a knee board that he towed behind his well-equipped dinghy, which my son absolutely adored. Naturally, I had to give it a try myself to ensure it was safe! 😉
Our journey started in Tortola, where we arrived at Beef Island. We had a delightful time in Virgin Gorda, where my son took his inaugural e-foil lesson based on Cheryl’s suggestion, and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. That evening, we relaxed with drinks and played pool at Saba Rock. Following that, we spent a day in Anegada, where we went snorkeling and savored a lobster dinner at the Wonky Dog before heading back to Virgin Gorda to explore the Baths, timing our visit to avoid any cruise ships in port. We then dedicated a day to Peter Island before proceeding to Norman Island, where we had the unique experience of visiting Willy T’s… and, naturally, we took the plunge! Subsequently, we traveled to Jost Van Dyke for a brief stop at the Soggy Dollar and Foxy’s before returning to Beef Island for our journey home. Overall, it was an exceptional trip filled with wonderful company, delicious cuisine, and a fantastic atmosphere.

We had such an amazing family vacation aboard Sun Goddess! Captains KDog and Cheryl far exceeded our expectations. They were very attentive to our 3 kids, ensuring they were entertained with various activities each day - fishing, snorkeling, tubing and kneeboarding were favorites. We also enjoyed special time together as a family floating on the rafts and noodles and playing games. Chef Cheryl graciously allowed our 6-year old to assist her in the galley preparing some meals, and we were blown away by the quality of food and presentation - wow! We loved the itinerary they prepared for us and enjoyed the variety and uniqueness of each island. Best family vacation ever!
