We are among one of the five couples that were recently in the BVIs on a sailing adventure aboard the Blue Pepper. You must know that The Blue Pepper experience, in EVERY way, was impeccable! The crew of Taylor, Denise and Liz were top notch. Together, they created a magical experience for us all. They worked tirelessly to make our sailing adventure relaxing and no detail was overlooked.
The boat was immaculately clean and beautiful! Denise’s absolute gift for preparing and serving delicious food was truly spectacular. We were blown away by her creativity and culinary skill. The crew were engaging, caring and their respect for the boat and their craft was most commendable.
I will most certainly recommend the Blue Pepper to our friends who are looking for an outstanding sailing adventure.

I just wanted to let you know how very impressed we were with Captain Taylor, Chef Denise and Liz. They absolutely MADE the trip for us.
The boat was immaculate and the attention to detail throughout the trip was amazing.
Denise's meals were spectacular - they were fresh, healthy and delicious - and the presentation was beautiful.
We felt like every meal came from a top tier restaurant - which was not something we expected.
Captain Taylor's easy-going Texas style made it seem like nothing was a problem - he put us at ease the entire trip - while we know he was in constant motion making sure that everything was perfect. And we LOVED Denise - so fun and personable! Liz was always there to make sure everything was presented just so.
The crew was fun - but also extremely professional and thorough. The Blue Pepper hosted 10 of us for a week - and it always looked like we had just stepped on board. I don't know how they did it. They set the bar for hospitality and service for any future vacations for us.

We could not have asked for a better crew! They really surpassed our expectations. They were friendly, always in a good mood, very attentive to our needs. You can really tell Denis and Taylor are good, genuine people that love to take care of others and do so in the best possible way.
Blue Pepper was very comfortable! It had everything we needed. At first, we thought we were going to get on each other’s nerves because of proximity on the boat and being a family of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids). But the way it's built, with the different chilling areas, we did not feel that at all!
Taylor really made sure the boat was clean at ALL times, which is pretty impressive with the 3 kids running around and misplacing stuff the whole day (the adults too haha!). The boat was well ventilated, we had no issues with humidity at all. Favorite aspects of the yacht: the different areas for different occasions and weather (front of the boat while sailing, back when cooler / eating meals, roof in the morning when it's calm, having a coffee), the quality of materials (couches, wooding, appliances, etc.) and the spaciness of it all!
The food was amazing. Denise really put her heart into her cooking and you can taste it. For the most part, every food was prepared from scratch - something we did not think possible on a boat! The presentation was always impeccable, oftentimes adding a quirky touch for the kids, which they enjoyed. As for customization of the menu, Denise really did a good job at sensing what we liked to eat, in addition to dealing with multiple intolerances and special needs in our group (one has an allergy to yeast and black pepper, one is pescatarian, preference for healthy dishes, etc.). We cannot thank her enough for that!
The itinerary we did was perfect, in accordance with our preferences. We told the crew at the beginning of the trip what we liked to do (snorkeling, beach chilling, swimming, sailing) and they figured out what best itinerary to do. They chose well!
Booking with Sailing Directions was done simply and in a timely manner. It was booked last minute on our part and we appreciate all the arrangements that were made for our trip to go seamlessly.

The crew, Taylor and Denise were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating during the trip.
Yacht Blue Pepper was very comfortable, clean and well ventilated, I really liked layout of the cabins and their comfort.
Food was great! The chef customized the menu to our preferences 100%!
Everybody loved the itinerary of the area that we sailed.
Hope to be back next year and sail with the same great CREW aboard Blue Pepper.
