Extra Mile
Sitting at our gate to head home after a 7 day private charter aboard Hazel Della in the BVI. Having never done anything like this before, we had no idea what to expect. What an incredible experience! Captain Nicholas Olney and Chef Vaughn Rundle catered to our every need and desire, creating an itinerary especially for us. They met with us prior to the trip to gather our preferences from food to activities to sights. They helped us arrange the travel days with water taxis and land taxis and it was seamless! Captain Nico and co. are scuba dive master for the trip, enhancing our safety. But more than anything, we all loved their hospitality. Everyone was friends and we so enjoyed hanging with them for the week. My one fear was “what if we get a crew that make it awkward to share such personal space?!” With Nick and Vaughn on Hazel Della (50 foot catamaran, 4 bedroom), we had no such concerns. By the end of the week they were family. If you’re looking for this experience, we 10/10 recommend!!
BVI BVI trip
I rarely write reviews but after an absolutely fantastic trip with Captain Nicholas and chef/mate Vaughn, I am compelled to give them a great review. Captain Nicholas and chef/mate Vaughn were outstanding. The guests were ALWAYS their first priority whether it pertained to activities, food and drink or knowing where to take their guests for the best BVI experiences. They really did pamper us. Wouldn’t let us help with anything. Loved going to all of the different islands. The two of them excelled in their respective roles but also in sharing duties when necessary. We had a great time with them and thank them for their hospitality. Would love to be a part of a future cruise with them. We actually felt like one big family. Captain Nicholas and chef/mate Vaughn, thank you again for the great memories that we will never forget.
Amazing Trip on Hazel Della - 10 out of 10!!!
The four of us had a fantastic week on Hazel Della with Captain Nicholas and Chef Vaughn! What a fun, kind, and knowledgeable team!! It was my husband and my 3rd BVI charter and our friends first and the crew went above and beyond to show our friends the must see spots and to find new ones we had never been too! Captain Nic was a master at getting us the best mooring balls at popular spots (like the Baths) before it got busy, taking us to the BEST snorkeling spots and also incorporating all our wishes into the schedule! He hit it out of the park day after day!! Chef Vaughn presented one fabulous meal after another, and really nailed it with what we liked and the amount of food to serve (which is a skill!!). Captain Nic jumped in several nights to cook and use the onboard grill. We had never had a Captain who also loved to cook!
Day Dreams and Good Friends
Good friends planned this trip to the BVI. It was total relaxation from the time we stepped aboard the Hazel Della. Captain Nicholas and Chef Vaughn made it even better with the hidden gems of the islands and exquisite food presentations. The meals were a surprise each day and the sail destinations were to make memories for a lifetime.
