ISLAND HOPPIN' 55 Guest Comments
Christmas 2025 BVI Charter
Bryan and Patti,
We cannot even begin to thank you enough for the trip of a lifetime. From incredible scuba adventures to many amazing meals, this week exceeded all expectations. Hopefully you'll now include the infamous "Maryland Orange Crush" in your rotation of cocktails. We had a blast with the E-Foil and had many good laughs watching some epic wipeouts. We also appreciate your patience as some guests continuously asked to drive the dinghy :) This crew is not one that has the opportunity to spend a lot of time together and we cherish every chance we get. We cannot imagine spending this week with a better crew to share in our laughter and memories. Thank you for spending your holidays with us and thank you for your kindness. We will never forget this trip and the time spent together. Five stars simply would not be enough for you two! Cheers to you both and your next big adventure!
"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us!"
All the best, The Cavanaugh Family

Bryan and Patti,
You are the best Captain and Chef duo we have met. Thanks so much for helping us experience an unforgettable in the BVI! AMAZING WEEK!! Bryan and Patti, you are the perfect pair. Thank you for your incredible service, delicious meals, memorable adventures, and for making our week everything we could have imagined.
Bryan and Patti are the absolute best! As the saying goes, 3rd time is a charm. Not that our first two charters weren't magnificent, but THIS time we had the Bryan and Patti experience so everything was elevated to a new level. From the meals, drinks, water time, and island excursions, we were deluged with luxury and attentiveness. Every need of ours was anticipated and tended to. We are so grateful. Many blessings to any and all of your future guests who get to sail with you!

Bryan and Patti,
As I look back over the second charter with you and Island Hoppin', my heart is so full. From the moment we stepped back onboard, it felt less like the start of a vacation and more like picking up right where we left off with people we genuinely care about. You both have such a gift of making every detail memorable, and every experience unforgettable. The adventure filled days of exploring Anegada or dinghying to beach bars, are the kind of adventures we'll always remember. Patti's meals are always extraordinary- thoughtful, creative, and made with love. Together you two make every detail feel effortless. Our relationship has grown far beyond guests and crew. We treasure the laughter, the sunsets, the conversations, and the quiet moments anchored in the crystal clear blue waters. We are SO grateful for the memories we have made aboard Island Hoppin and truly hope that the friendship we have created here will continue for years to come.

We just wrapped up an unforgettable week sailing the crystal blue waters of the BVI. We set sail out of Tortola with Captain Bryan at the helm, steady and calm, reading the wind like he's known it forever. Patti somehow turned the galley into a 5 star kitchen. Fresh fish, incredible meals, something sweet to top it all off, every meal was an occasion. We wrapped it all up at the Soggy Dollar Bar-clothes still damp, painkillers in hand-not wanting the week to end. It was beautiful "Island Hoppin" with you. Thank you for a truly perfect vacation.

Patti, your skills in the galley were excellent. We loved the amazing flavor we kept swooning over and the perfect variety. That bacon jam OMG!!!! You have a special gift with all of your creations! Bryan, thank you for teaching us the e-foil, making sure we danced at the full moon party, sailing, fishing, chasing rainbows, and making sure we had the best time at all the beaches and lived our best lives at all beach bars! Not even going to mention all the fun at the Willy T. You two make an excellent team, yall are the BEST!

Bryan and Patti,
First, let me say thank you for putting up with our crew. I know that we set a lot of "firsts" for you! Hopefully you will talk about this charter for years and have plenty of laughs and stories to share. Second, thank you for giving us an amazing vacation and memories of a lifetime. I could not have imagined any other Captain/Chef combo for this trip. You set the bar so high, I can't imagine doing it again without you both. From the attention to detail to the perfect itenary, you made this one for the books. I am so sad that this is your last season but I hope that on your next journey in life you make people the amazing memories that you gave us. So excited for you both! I hope you stay in touch with the crazy and unpredictable guests who I am sure kept you on your toes. Again, we can't thank you both enough for this most memorable trip!
