HALCYON

They Are The Best!
When you are planning a trip of a lifetime you don’t want to chance having a bad boat and crew. Sam and Lu are the best. The best spots, the best food, the best service, and the best sailing. Don’t put it to chance, make this crew part of your trip. Heath T.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an absolutely wonderful time! Captain Sam and Luzaan went above and beyond, providing 5 star service. I would highly recommend our boat (Halcyon) and crew. Dhosea

Unforgettable Vacation!
A fantastic stay! Luuu is an amazing chef, and not only is her food incredible, but she always has a smile for her guests. Sam is an incredible man, warm and friendly, and always willing to do his best to make us feel at home. Definitely an unforgettable vacation.

Perfection In Every Way!
The last 10 days have been perfection in every way. I could go on and on about the magnificence of the waters, the fish, the horizon, the sunrises & sunsets, the coral, the baths, the caves, the vistas, the hikes, the boat itself… but at the end of the day (and the start of the day) what we will remember & take with us is the feeling of calm, peace, tranquility, relaxation you enabled us to experience for 10 days. Because of your hard work, your dedication to our happiness & experience, your attention to detail, your care, your initiation & anticipation of our needs… all these which I know some people just expect — we appreciate & noticed & saw in everything you did. We saw it & felt it from both of you from the moment you woke up til the moment we all went to bed and throughout the night! We felt taken care of, WELL FED, safe, inspired & enlightened by what we learned & saw & ate! You are good people above all else & we appreciated the chance to get to know you both & share this time with you.

Until Next Time
You have perfected your crafts and Halcyon and &Beyond are lucky to have you both. Until the next time….. All our love & appreciation, Gayle & Brian

Heaven On Earth!
If there was ever a heaven on earth this experience with Sam and Lu on Halcyon would be it!!!!! 10 MAGICAL days of adventure, curated experiences, mouthwatering cuisine, impeccable attention to details with a Captain and first mate/chef who anticipated all our needs, tailored every single moment to our heart's content and went out of their way from sunrise to sunset to give us the trip of a lifetime. Their knowledge was unsurpassed, their commitment to safety, comfort and our indulgence was 24/7. We've traveled all over the world and this vacation was perfection and the BEST yet! Run, don't walk to experience Halcyon and Sam and Lu for a week that will change your life!

Incredible
Sam & Lu What an incredible few days to spend in your hands!!! Every whim and need tended to — every sunset (and animal) perfectly positioned. We will be back! Fulvio & Simane

Every Moment A Blessing!

The Best Trip
Thank you Lu and Sam! This trip has been the best that I've ever been on. Wishing you guys peace, love, happiness and good health. This trip has also been very overwhelming in a good way. The views, the ocean, the stars and the different places we went all have been so beautiful. It shows that God is real! There is too much beauty in it for that not to be. Thank you again Ashton B

We Will Be Back
This was the best vacation my family has ever had. Sam and Luzaan were amazing and felt like family. We will be back. Andy L

We Appreciate You More Than You Know
My most favorite place - and the most beautiful place in the world became even more memorable this week through the And Beyond Experience! I couldn't have dreamed of a better crew with Lu and Sam. Having their company, knowledge and patience with our raunchiness as a group mad this trip absolutely unforgettable. Thank you both so much for EVERYTHING - especially the endless skinny margs and painkillers. We appreciate y'all more than you know. You have given our family memories that we will remember forever! Hayden L

My Favorite So Far
To experience the BVI for the first time in this way has been so amazing. The islands themselves are the most beautiful sights I've seen to date. Sam and Lu have made the trip all the better. Sam never failed to bring us to the most amazing places at the best times to see them. Lu is phenomenal in the kitchen and kept our group full not only on food but laughs and smiles. We had beautiful weather as well, which made the trip so special. Between the crystal clear water, fantastic meals, breathtaking sights, painkillers and this amazing crew - my trip to the BVI has been my favorite so far. I will definitely be back. Jake W.

Truly Unforgettable Experience!
Being my third time chartering a cat through the BVI, AJ made this trip a truly unforgettable experience. Their unwavering commitment to make sure my entire party was comfortable, entertained, safe, and happy the entire trip was truly notable. The cabins were comfortable and the air conditioning was a great touch in the evenings! AJ was incredibly patient and friendly with the entire family, showed us all of the best snorkel spots, had great restaurant suggestions, and was always excited to bring out the water toys for us. Chartering a boat through the BVI with this operation is a great vacation. With that said, AJ made it the trip of a lifetime!! Would highly recommend it to all!!!

A Memorable Time!
BIG THANKS to Capt. AJ Stephens. Our family had such an incredible and memorable time. AJ made the trip easy, relaxing, exciting, interesting, filling, fun and so much more. It all began before even arriving in the USVIs via a WhatsApp video call, talk through preferences and nail down logistics. My wife and I traveled with our 6 kids (all in their 20s), and the entire week was perfect. AJ wanted everything to be perfect and kept asking how to improve things but I had nothing to say: it was already perfect. AJ was an amazing captain, with smooth sailing in windy weather but also became a great friend, joining us in activities and taking us to great snorkeling spots. Not to mention, AJ’s daily afternoon cocktails. 😊 Again, BIG THANKS to AJ and please come join us in the States.

Incredibly Memorable
This trip was incredibly memorable thanks to AJ. We were in expert hands as AJ guided us thru the BVI’s and made sure we experienced an amazing itinerary custom planned based on our preferences. Everything from the actual time underway, whether sailing or motor, and then activities at each destination, was perfect and well executed. We were a group of 8, including 6 young adults, so there were all different wants and needs and AJ made sure everyone was happy. Truly, a wonderful experience. The yacht was well appointed and accommodated our large crew. It was super clean, the showers were great and we all slept comfortably in cozy beds with AC. There were tons of water toys including rafts, paddle boards, wake boards and of course, snorkel equipment. I’m sure I’m forgetting something but there was so much we did in just 7 days. Best of all, AJ helped us create everlasting extraordinary memories for our family Kiersten B

Wonderful Experience!
Wonderful experience! AJ was brilliant in his captaining, planning, and guidance throughout our time. We saw so many incredible nooks and crannies of the islands we would never have otherwise, and he recommended some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever seen. Loved his evening cocktails as well! AJ is a wonderful person, wouldn’t have wanted to spend our time with anyone else.

Lots of Laughs and Most Relaxing Trip Of Our Lives
Just returned from the BVI. We were on board with Capt. AJ. The boat had everything we needed and more. AJ took us to the most beautiful places on earth. Incredible snorkeling and views. Everything was planed and we did not have to think of anything that he had already not thought of. He prepared a signature cocktail every night at 5:00. They were truly better than any of the drinks at the local bars. We even got to name one of his drinks! He can tell you that story🤪. . AJ kept us safe and was always making sure we were getting the most out of our trip. We all had a lot of laughs and had the most relaxing trip of our lives. I would definitely do it again. Robyn J

Set The Bar High
We just returned from an amazing trip in the BVI. I have done this trip before, so I thought I knew what to expect. But Captain AJ far exceeded our expectations, and my previous experience. AJ was very accommodating, no matter how many times we changed our minds about what we wanted to do for the day. He found us amazing snorkeling and dive sites, restaurants and bars, and his quick wit and sense of humor kept us entertained. AJ set the bar high, and I hope we can find him again to share our next sailing adventure. Roxanne M.
