Customer Feedback
Oli and Nay were the consummate hosts. They made our trip incredibly enjoyable and attended to every request we had from sailing activities and anchorages to meals and entertainment. We became great friends with them both as a result of their great personalities and hospitality. They ensured each day was better than the one before and made our 7th trip to the BVI's as exciting and fresh as the first. The attention to detail is imperative on a yacht charter and they excelled there in every way. Their abilities as a captain, navigator, chef, hostess, concierge, etc all exceeded our expectations. We felt very safe and comfortable with them and would highly recommend all of their services as charter crew.
