May 2017 (repeat guests)
I will just quickly tell you there are very few words that describe the level of excellence we experience on Kings Ransom under Peter and Niki’s stewardship. It’s why we wanted a repeat visit to the boat. Niki’s food is beyond amazing and she feeds us all Gluten Free. In no way would you think you had suffered or missed out at all. For my husband who is the celiac, it is the only time he feels he doesn’t suffer or have to compromise. Her enthusiasm for challenges is so refreshing. Peter is a sweetheart, calm, knowledgeable and very accommodating. On top of it all they are the funniest 2 people you would ever want to meet.

We said goodbye and my husband said…..”we’ll be back”

Thanks so much for another wonderful experience! As the week went on the weather got better and the friendships stronger. Looking forward to finding you again another time!

We loved you all and how special you made us feel from sunrise to sunset. Can’t wait for another adventure, with much love and appreciation.

Having never been on a multi-day boat charter before, let alone to this part of the world, we had no standard or expectations…only excitement of what we hoped the trip would be. Because of the crews incredible hospitality and competence in handling this magnificent boat (and all of us!) we enjoyed a trip way beyond what we hoped it would be-a trip of lifetime. What was exceptional in our trip was the bonus of getting to know each and every one of you-the crew. Your kindness and friendship will be a lifelong memory-please allow us to return the favour someday and come visit us!

As said, no words can explain how wonderful you guys made our week at sea on Kings Ransom. Your attention to details, your constant diligence, and your thoughtfulness to servicing us is second to none. I can honestly say I have never been pampered like I was for this week. Your attentiveness to taking care of us was impeccable. The meals and signature dishes were succulent and worthy of being mentioned in Gourmet Magazine. Together as a crew, you created an experience that I don’t think can be replicated. I look forward to our next trip with you…you have defined excellence & perfection!
September 2016 (repeat guests)
Having heard such great things about you and the Kings Ransom for the past 2 years I had high expectations for this trip and you have certainly exceeded them! I have had so many firsts-being pulled on an inflatable hot-dog (and staying on), Jet skiing, local wines and of course the dolphins! They really were a highlight and I appreciate the crews’ talents for wildlife spotting as would have missed them otherwise!

I think I have had the most luxurious holiday ever thanks to your hospitality! The food was delicious and thank you for catering for the vegetarians too! The massages were amazing and made me feel more relaxed than I have ever been before.

You’ve done it again…another amazing charter! Particularly enjoyed the sailing, especially getting the big blue spinnaker up on a down wind leg. All in all another fantastic and memorable voyage and can’t wait to return again!

It was an absolute pleasure to be back, it really felt like home again for just a week. You guys are just awesome as crew and as Captain Pete’s toast so eloquently said, “we’ve seen and experienced many ships on this voyage, but the best one of all is our friendship”. THANK YOU!!!
August 2016
1. May I have your Overall Rating for your charter, with 10 being the highest, 0 being the lowest?
( 10+ )

2. Were Pete and Niki friendly, professional and accommodating?
I cannot imagine a more professional and welcoming crew. We absolutely loved our experience on King’s Ransom and the crew was a critical part of making the trip magical.

3. Was King’s Ransom comfortable and clean?
This is an outstanding boat. The photos do not do it justice. Not only is it spotlessly clean inside and out, the crew has thought of every detail to make the most of our experience on board. The comfort level is truly wonderful.

4. Was King’s Ransom well ventilated?
Absolutely. The temperatures in each of the cabins was perfect and are individually controlled. Even the wonderful smells from the kitchen were barely noticeable.

5. How was the cuisine?
We had high expectations for the food, but even those expectations were exceeded. Each meal felt like a 5 star dining experience. I am a bit of a foodie, so was impressed by the complexity of flavors in each dish, the clean methods of preparation, and overall healthy choices (except for the truly inspiring desserts J).

6. Any additional comments on your charter?
I cannot recommend this boat and crew more highly. Spending 7 nights in the relatively close quarters of a private yacht with a crew means that the ambiance onboard established by the crew can make or break the trip. This crew turned a terrific vacation into a truly memorable journey that my family will treasure for years to come.

Thank you so much for everything. It was the best week of my life. I loved every second of it. It was even better than last year! I loved the food, especially the brownies. I also enjoyed towing on the hot dog which we stayed on forever!
(parents)
Could this years’ trip have been any better than last year? YES!!!
I have loved every moment of it, thank you all for a very special week and very sad to be saying goodbye…
Amazing…so much fun, so relaxed, so well fed and so much laughter.
June 2016
We had a great time, the crew was helpful and fun and the range was just right for us. I think we used every recreational device that they had on board including the family hot dog . My daughter's fiance hadn't been on a trip like that before and I think he tried everything, water ski, tube etc. We all liked the stops that we made and I was particularly impressed with how the crew handled the day/night with 60 mph winds . We cruised at 9 knots with no help from engines and found a safe spot for the night, which worked out very well. The food was very good & Niki read our preferences carefully and made everyone happy. I am not certain how their next charter went as they were hosting a group of Russians who had a very ambitious itinerary. Not sure what else to say, but that we all really enjoyed it and I will be back in touch when we want go away again.
July 2015
It was a truly fabulous week. Could not have been better. We don’t have a lot of experience (none actually) on yacht trips, but the accommodations and amenities seemed very good. We DO have a lot of experience eating great food in restaurants in NY and elsewhere, and can say the food service could not possibly have been better. Niki is fabulous—great, healthy food, sourced from the local markets that are so good over there. As for itinerary, I don’t think I would change a thing. We enjoyed the first two, very historic spots, despite some super hot weather. The island stops were all truly memorable, and I’d love to go back some day. I had low expectations for Split, just because it was our last day before travel, but we both thought it was arguably the highlight of the whole trip.

Reviews for Kings Ransom with previous crew:

The whole crew was incredibly friendly and fun to be with. They were fantastic at their individual duties. They made our trip a most memorable one. I could not imagine a better crew to be with for a week. They let us do whatever we wanted to and were very attentive to what we needed and did everything with a huge smile. We left there with 4 new friends.

King's Ransom far exceeded even our high expectations. It was like sailing a Ritz Carlton. It had tons of room even for our group of 9. It was kept immaculately clean and was incredibly comfortable. It took the waves very smoothly and had a very gentle roll at night. Fantastic.

We had three 5-star meals a day, plus snacks and apps. Niki is a very talented chef and to be able to prepare the quality of food we received on a sail boat is simply unbelievable. It was presented beautifully and we looked forward to every meal.

The great thing about it was that we woke up every morning and decided what to do and where to go. We enjoyed not having to work to some hard and fast itinerary that someone else set. We were free to go or stay where we were. There was no pressure from the captain to do or go anywhere, but he provided excellent information for us to make a very informed decision every day.

You did a fantastic job. I would definitely use Sailing Directions in the future.

Ken H, aboard Catamaran Kings Ransom sailing the British Virgin Islands

The answer to every question is the same: OUTSTANDING!

We all had a terrific experience, from booking through drop-off.

Cheers!

Bruce H, aboard Catamaran Kings Ransom sailing the Virgin Islands

Thank you very much for creating a very enjoyable atmosphere, your services were very professionally carried out and we cannot think of anything that yourselves or your crew could have done to improve the enjoyment of our treasured vacation.

Niki: the food quality, taste, services and presentation were excellent, you provided what we asked for and gave us many options to choose from, perfect choices from a perfect chef.
Pete: based upon our day to day dealings, you are definitely a class act. You made us feel very much at ease, and secure in the knowledge that we were in very safe hands.

Thank you once again for giving all our family memories that will be treasured for the rest of our lives safe sailing, have a well-earned holiday back in England.
