PALOMA Guest Comments
Trip of a Lifetime
We Had such a phenomenal time.
An Amazing Trip
The crew truly cared about us.
Grenadines 28 July - 3 August 2025
What a fun, relaxing family vacation in the beautiful Grenadines. We can't say enough about the crew or the boat. 'what started out disastrous became a blessing in disguise. We land in Miami after a delayed flight to find an email from the broker to say our boat that we had booked had engine failure and we weren't going to be able to take it out. The replacement was Paloma. The crew went out of their way to take care of every detail they could to make up for this shocking news we got.....no one likes change, but we totally lucked up!! From the kindness to grab our bags early while we explore Bequia to the calming nature they bestowed upon us as we boarded Paloma, we couldn't have asked for anything better. My boys, 6 & 7, are wide open all day, everyday and the crew supported their energy and excitement. If you are a mom you know how important this is both for our sanity, and our own fun and relaxation.. My boys enjoyed many moments of explanation of sailing, catching fish, tubing, efoils, and of course eating!
"Chef B " named by my kiddos kept us fed so well. She secretly prepared to many favourites, but always with a unique twist - inspiring me to be a better cook! I was always amazed at how every dish had so much made from scratch - homemade croutons, homemade bread, homemade whipped cream and the list goes on! I can't really pick a favourite but the butter poached lobster with linguine and vodka sauce was certainly at the top. Chef B always accommodated my picky kids requests and Brandon obliged to their many Shirley Temples and Strawberry Daquiris.
Brandon also kept us hydrated, kept us hydrated, kept the cocktails flowing while also assisting with anything and everything that he could. Hospitality runs deep in him - that's obvious.
Captain Sean is such a fun person who wants to make sure we are always enjoying ourselves. You can tell he knows so much about boats, hospitality and cares about his people. Captain treats the boat as if it was his own, never complains about dragging the same floats out for the 19th time or never gets bothered by our 900 questions!
We truly lucked up in getting the opportunity to stay on Paloma for a whole week - all the toys, all the dishes, all the accommodations - like nice towels, chargers, soaps, comfy seating - you name it! The boat was incredibly well thought out and the crew couldn't have been better. We wish we could take Sean,Bianca and Brandon back to North Carolina! We welcome you to visit us so we can return the hospitality. Much love, Brooke, Drew, Jax and Xander.

What a trip aboard Paloma in the Grenadines to Grenada. We sailed, we played, we ate great food, we drank, we laughed and had the best time. The toys on board were so much fun and we all enjoyed the sailing and beautiful scenery.
The crew, Captain Sean, Chef Bianca and Steward Brandon were amazing. They made sure our every need or want was taken care of. We watched beautiful sunrises each morning and sunsets at night. Captain Sean was always willing to talk and share his love of sailing and was so good with out two grandsons. He let them fish anytime they could, took them tubing and snorkeling and just made each day fun.
Chef Bianca was also his first mate and made delicious food, snacks and desserts. Always keeping us fed, and she helped with all the anchoring and docking as well.
Deckhand and Steward Brandon was always available to fill our water, make coffee and wonderful drinks. We were never without anything that we wanted.
Captain Sean could make amazing coffee and drinks as well and was always right there to help with everything. Setting the table,or anything it took to make our trip perfect.
Paloma is an amazing catamaran with room for 6-8 people to have a lot of space to enjoy themselves. There could even be 10 with the bunkroom. Our master suite was so comfortable for us to have room to enjoy our trip. Spending this time with our grandsons Xander (7) and Jax (6) was just so wonderful.
The islands were beautiful and we had so much fun! We hate to leave, and the boys want to take them home with us!
Thank you Paloma and crew for an amazing week sailing the Grenadines from St Vincent to Grenada. You stepped in when our other boat had mechanical issues at the last minute amnd it was so perfect. Cindy & Randy

We cannot express how incredible this charter has been! The hospitality, service, and food was beyond any expectations! Not only did you go above and beyond, accommodating a crazy group who brought so many young kids makes your talent stand out above any experience we will likely ever experience again!
Brandon, your cocktails and eagerness to serve was something beyond 5 stars!
Capt. Sean, your skills with all things with motors ws, of course, expert-level. But, beyond that, your conversation, wit, and talent with water toys brought more joy than you can imagine.
Bianca, OH MY GOD! Your baking and cooking skills will appear in my dreams forever! I know we will be speaking of the Michelin-level meals you provided for years to come.
Last, we must compliment how effortlessly your team works together. Your thoughtful communication amongst one another to ensure each of us never wanted for anything did not go unnoticed! Thank you for giving us unforgettable memories and the trip of a lifetime! o-x-o-x

Dear Paloma Dream Team! Sean, Bianca and Brandon the experience on the Paloma has been amazing and honestly because of you three! You are all so fun, and hilarious. Also, always one step ahead of what we really needed (or what we didn't need aka painkillers) LOL
The service was next levelk the food was unreal, and the overall experience was magical.
Brandon, you are an absolute firework. Don't forget that!
Sean, you are hilarious and one day we will have "fireball" together.
Bianca, you really are a masterpiece. You and Sean together are a true master class.
I will never ever forget the memories and will miss you all so much.
