TRU NORTH

Such A Treat

Dear Sarah & Hein and Ryan

Not sure that we can put into words just how memorable you all have made this trip to the BVIs. Every new spot we have anchored, every snorkel, hike, dive, meal, and activity, it has been such a treat because you were there. Thank you for taking such tremendous care of us, and for giving us a week we’ll never forget. You know you all have a home away from home with our family!!

Much Love,
The Mora Family

Wow!!

Ryan, Sarah & Hein, (Best crew EVER!)

Wow! You guys are awesome! Thanks for being the wind behind our sails, our propeller in calm waters, and our guides of these beautiful islands! The food (Sarah!) and hospitality (all of you!) was off the charts and we can’t thank you enough for giving us a vacation we will always remember and think of fondly!

Tons of love! Come visit!

♡ Kathy & Jim Mora

Above And Beyond In Every Way!
We can’t say enough incredible things about the crew of Tru North for giving us the experience of a lifetime sailing the BVI. Every single moment was unforgettable, thanks to your professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for what you do.

Captain Ryan, thank you for your expertise and unwavering commitment to safety while navigating the yacht. Your confidence and knowledge allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every breathtaking view along the way.

Chef Sarah, your meals were nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and knowing you took the time to make everything from scratch made it even more special. You truly turned every meal into an experience we’ll never forget.

And Hein, truly the best deckhand a captain could ask for! Thank you for the amazing drinks, your constant attentiveness, and for always being one step ahead of our needs. Your energy and care made such a difference in our trip.

To the entire crew, thank you for going above and beyond in every way. We already miss you all and will cherish these memories forever. We wish you nothing but continued success and happiness in all your future endeavors!

Truly Unforgettable
We chartered on "TruNorth" with Captain Ryan, Sarah and Hein. Captain Ryan kept us safe, chose great spots for us to enjoy and explorer, knew the islands well.

Sarah cooked tasty, well presented meals and met our food needs.

Hein kept the boat clean, helped with gear, and was friendly and attentive.

The crew was professional and amazing, truly an unforgettable experience. We had a fantastic week sailing the British Virgin Islands!

Best Trip We've Ever Taken
Our week sailing the BVI on Tru North was hands down one of the best trips we’ve ever taken. From the second we stepped on board, everything just felt easy, relaxing, and honestly pretty incredible.

The boat itself was absolutely beautiful—spotless and felt brand new. You can tell it’s really well cared for, and it made the whole experience feel extra special.

The crew is what truly made the trip though. Captain Ryan, Chef Sarah, and Hein were such a fun group—young, energetic, and clearly love what they do. Captain Ryan always found the most amazing places to anchor and made everything feel effortless. Chef Sarah’s food was unreal—we’re still talking about it! And Hein kept the good vibes going all week with great drinks and an awesome attitude.

They struck the perfect balance of taking care of everything while still giving us space to relax and enjoy ourselves. It never felt forced—just natural and easy the whole time.

We’re already talking about going back and wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.

First-Class Experience
We had an incredible experience aboard Tru North in the BVI.

Captain Ryan was outstanding — professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. He always made sure we knew how the day was planned and never minded repeating things to keep everyone on the same page, which we really appreciated. We always felt safe and well taken care of.

Chef Sarah truly exceeded my expectations. Every meal was exceptional — easily some of the best food we’ve had in the Caribbean. She even went the extra mile to accommodate preferences, making sure my meals were exactly how I like them (no vegetables), which really showed her attention to detail and care for guests.

Hein was fantastic as well, handling everything from deckhand duties to housekeeping and drinks. He kept everything running smoothly at all times — and made sure the drinks kept coming one after the other. His service, energy, and attention to detail really stood out.

The yacht itself is beautiful, comfortable, and very well maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.

Overall, this was a first-class experience and one we would absolutely recommend to anyone considering a charter in the BVI.

More Than A Holiday - It's An Experience
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

The food – next level. Sara’s talent in her kitchen – gave us flavors, tastes, dishes to inspire us. Each meal somehow topped the next. And we will forever love “Carrie Bradshaw”!

The drinks, no matter what our request was, Hein produced amazing drinks, from bringing aboard jalapenos from “ABC” to our Espresso Martinis at night.

Hands down the best service we have ever had.

Ryan – your “adventure” took us to no-where, beach walks, snorkel places. We loved every memory & laugh along the way. Especially your kite surfing show.

You 3 made this trip more than a holiday- you made it an experience. We will all remember the last of our 2023.
Thank you for the laughs (their contagious laugh), the care with every detail and all the magic you bring to our Tru North Holiday.

We didn’t want to leave – so this isn’t a goodbye (maybe a few tears) but it’s - we will always stay in touch and look forward to our next Adventure.

We Will Be Back!
We sailed on Tru North with Captain Ryan, Chef Sarah and Hein who was a master mixologist, divemaster and steward.

Captain Ryan and Hein were great at setting up activities and wonderful anchoring spots. Fishing, wakeboarding, e-foiling, scuba diving, SUP boarding, and snorkeling were all right there.

Chef Sarah was simply the best! The meals were stunning in both a culinary sense and in their presentation. Everything was made by her on the yacht… EVERYTHING (bagels, breads, pasta, sauces, etc.).

We will definitely be back!

Incredible, Unforgettable, Unique Experience!
Oh! What an incredible, unforgettable and unique experience with such warmth and hospitality.

Sarah… your meals felt like a gift each time, with a flavor explosion each and every time. The thought and care you put into the menus is recognized and so appreciated.

Hein, your speediness in executing and anticipating our needs and wants and experiences made us feel so welcome.
Your laugh is like no other and spreads joy!

Unforgettable Experience
To all of you,

Thank you for creating such an unforgettable experience. I will hold this memory close to my heart for the rest of my life… Safe travels!

Best,

Finest Crew Ever
My 70th private charter trip.
We were lucky to experience the best conditions, but more so with the finest crew ever.
Ryan & Hein were excellent but… Sarah by far the best cook ever!
Well balanced, wonderful seasoning, cooked perfect every time.

Exceeded Our Expectations
This vacation absolutely exceeded our expectations! The number of toys on the boat ensured we were never bored, and being able to visit different sites on land meant there was daily variety.

Matt & James had a great time diving the sites around the BVI.
Sarah prepared the most amazing meals which were beautiful and delicious. We have never eaten so well in our lives!

Please tell us more.
Boat was beautiful and incredibly well maintained. It was clear that the owner provides what the crew thinks the boat needs. I understand that the owner is also an avid diver and the crew made sure we had amazing dive experiences. I had been told that the BVI reefs were not
great. I beg to differ. Many of the sites are not regularly dived and the coral shows it. There is some spectacular Caribbean diving in the BVI.

Just a beautiful well maintained boat. Walmar clearly knows boats, mechanics and how to keep everything running properly. Kudos to the whole team. Salt water is hard on boats and staying on top of everything is critical.

How would you rate the quality of service
from your crew?
10

Please tell us more. Walmar, Hein, and Tameka were all exceptional. We count them now as
friends, have exchanged phone numbers and invited them to Steamboat and truly hope they will come. We are not a generally high maintenance family and it took a minute to settle into a routine that allowed them to provide the service they wanted to. From game nights with our 12
year old to a 20th anniversary dinner under the stars to ensuring we got our fill of diving they could not have been more lovely.

Tameka's meals were fantastic. We all gained far too much weight on the trip. Her creativity and enthusiasm was just excellent.

How did you enjoy the
destination/location?
10

Please tell us more. I gave this a 10, but that is as much due to the boat and the crew as it was the destination. We did not want and were not interested in large crowded places.
Walmar found secluded coves and beaches, avoided, generally the crowds and allowed us to fully decompress. That is exactly what we were looking for.

Please tell us more. We are generally a traveling family that does not repeat experiences (there are so many places to see and so little time!). That said, everyone agreed that one day
we would repeat this trip.

Could Not Have Found A Better Crew
We could not have found a better crew than the 3 of you.
All three of you are truly the most kindest people we've met. You truly made our first experience of seeing the land by water amazing. We've been to the BVI many times but we're always experienced it from the land.
I can't say enough about the food other than I need to diet after this trip! Every meal was presented so beautifully and tasted incredible. i would take Tamika home with me in a heart beat!

The three of you are such a great team. Not only were you incredible with the guests, you're also mindful about the business. In coming from a business background, in a very positive way, I really appreciated how you balance with the guests. I very much mean that as a compliment.

Best to luck with your careers and family. Please reach out if you are ever in Florida or Colorado.
So long for now.
Barry and Carmen B.

What Can We Say!!!!
Walmar, Tamika and Hein

What to say that has not already been said by your other guests!? And yet it bears repeating: your graciousness, enthusiasm, and attention to detail is unrivaled and we are so lucky, not only to have been your guests, but also to become your friends!

You created the most unforgettable experience - we'll talk about it for ages and attempt to lose the few happy pounds from Tamika's INCREDIBLE! DELIGHTFUL! FAB! cooking for nearly as long.
We are so grateful and hope to return for what Marilyn has dubbed "Adult Summer Camp" soon.

In the meantime, know that we'd love to host you all on 30A anytime. Until then!

Broker Review
I’m thrilled to share the incredible feedback we just received following a recent charter aboard Tru North. Her words truly speak to the extraordinary experience you created:

Walmar, with his expert navigation and deep knowledge of the waters, guided us to all the places of interest we discussed during our initial call. He was also open to making changes on the fly based on weather and our input on additional places we’d wanted to see.

Tamika’s culinary creations were a highlight. Every meal was a masterpiece, blending fresh ingredients and flavors from around the world. The presentation and ambience couldn’t have been better.

Hein’s knowledge of sailing, diving, water sports, and mixology was truly appreciated—he kept us entertained the entire trip with tons of laughs.

Tru North itself was everything we asked for and more—luxurious, spacious, and impeccably maintained, offering the perfect balance of relaxation, indulgence, and adventure.

This was more than a charter—it was a dream vacation. Each crew member went above and beyond. In the end, we formed a lovely friendship, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for these kind, gentle souls. Walmar, Tamika, and Hein are the gold standard of hospitality!”

Such beautiful feedback is a testament to your teamwork, professionalism, and heartfelt dedication. Congratulations to each of you for setting the bar so high—you’ve left an unforgettable impression.

Friends at Sea and On Shore!
We up and set sail on a trip for 8,
How many bags to bring we could not negotiate.

Met at the dock by a very friendly crew,
The next several days, oh how they flew.

We swam and we skied, snorkeled and we dove,
At days end we anchored in a cove.

We ate and we ate, the food a grand delight,
Tamika is the best, we didn’t leave a bite!

Our fearless Captain, he’s always on the ball,
What can we say? He can do it all!

The memories we made will forever linger,
Never forgetting Hein losing a finger!

We up and set sail on a trip for 8, not knowing at journeys end that this would be fate.

Friends at sea and on shore,
We feel certain we have added 3 more!

You Are The Best!
We can’t thank you enough for making this trip so memorable and incredible !
You all are the best!!

DREAM TEAM!
What could be better than a week in paradise?..... Having Walmar, Tamika and Hein cater to your heart's desire! They are truly a DREAM TEAM! You felt at home from the minute you stepped onto the Tru North, and by the time you must depart you're already planning your next voyage.
Thank you from all of us for an amazing adventure and your sincere friendship.

All the best - your Texas crew - Nancy, David, Lisa, Chris, Joe, M'Lynne, Mike and Leslea

Our 14th Trip to The BVI
Where to start? This was our 14th journey through the BVI's and it never gets old especially when a crew like you made it feel like it was a new experience!
Tamika, your attention to detail and unique flair on every meal was tremendous. Your plates were positively stunning!
Hein, your cocktails and time leading us on a hike or snorkel expedition was marvelous!
Walmar, your ability to choose the islands we would most enjoy was fantastic. You understood what we wanted and delivered! We made many new memories that will last a lifetime and we are so appreciative!
We truly enjoyed getting to know you and hearing stories of South Africa. Thank you for your sense of humor and becoming part of the gang.
Our family and friends will never forget this wonderful experience!
We hope to see you in Philadelphia.

Todd and Michelle

Rindonkulous!!
The best word we can use for this week is "Ridonkulous"! Every single thing was marvelous beyond words. Our family truly expanded with Walmat, Tamika and Hein. Your attention to all details aboard was not only impeccable, but done with seeming ease and smoothness such that our ability to relax and chill was maximized. We fell in love with the BVI's thanks to all of you. One thing is for sure, our meals when we get home are going to suck!!

Erin and Barry, New Jersey

Top Notch
There are not enough words to express our gratitude for all that you have done to make our week on Tru North the BEST! From the wonderfully planned journeys each day to the beyond-amazing food and drinks, to the kindness and humor you showed, everything was top notch.

Most Beautiful and Luxurious Trip Ever
Thank you Walmar, Tamika and Hein for one of the most beautiful and luxurious trips we have ever experienced! The three of you work so well as a team - it feels so effortless (though we know there is a lot of work involved) Your teamwork and calm makes every day feel like a day at a spa.
Thank you Walmar and Hein so much for your thoughtful itinerary and excursions. Thank you Tamika for the daily gasps of surprise and pleasure with each meal! We will be trying to replicate many of your recipes and banana daiquiris.

Absolutely Fantastic Week

Tommy got to see many turtles and we all saw so much!
Tamika's food was EXTRAORDINARY and we are so grateful for her patience with the kids picky eating and all of our allergies.

We can't say enough about the wonderful hospitality we enjoyed on board. You all should be so proud - you are exceptional at what you do!

Our Every Need Was Met
We had a fantastic trip aboard Tru North - not only is the boat stunningly beautiful, but also so clean and well cared for. there are so many spaces to sit and relax in the sun or in the shade - so much space!
The crew on Tru North are incredible. Truley!!
Our every need was met - from the morning coffee to the evening cocktail and beyond. Captain Walmar was an amazing "driver" :) and we felt we were in great hands. Hein was always there, making life easy for us and making it feel like he enjoyed making sure we had a great time. And the food Tamika... was incredible! So healthy and flavorful and beautifully presented. it was so yummy - every meal.
Thank you for making this trip so wonderful and memorable.

Beauty Of These Islands
Thank you for the most amazing trip. We could not have asked for a better crew. Truly some of the most amazing food and experiences were had and we will never forget.
Thank you for taking the time to show us the beauty of these islands, the snorkel adventures and teaching us to foil.
Every morning felt just as special as the first day and you three are the reason.
Thank you for letting Ben think he was part of the crew :)
We hope to see you all again soon.

magical
To our dear (new) friends, Tamika, Hein and Walmar.
We cannot thank you enough for a truly amazing week! We loved the food, experiences on the boat, and off, and in the water. It was great learning about the history of the islands and this part of the world and finishing the day with a delicious cocktail and a beautiful sunset was magical!!
We'll always remember this trip
Ann and Shane E

The Perfect Crew
This has been quite possibly the best trip ever for us. Certainly the BVI's are beautiful and you showed us the best sites, but the best part was your attention to our collective needs.
Each stop had something for everyone, and every meal was not only 5-star, but prepared for each person as they asked for .That made everyone feel welcome and important.
The variety of curated cocktails was fun and an adventure with each round. Not one drink was a disappointment.

You are the perfect crew!
While we will miss you all, know that you have an open invitation to visit us in California anytime.

I'd Recommend Them to Anyone
Thanks so much for making our trip to the BVI's so special.
Walmar was a dog on the steering wheel, always keeping us on course. Tamika was always cooking up some BUSSIN' food and bringing the vibes. Hein went crazy on cocktails, the foil and the trolling/tarpon fishing. thanks again for an unforgettable trip.
I'd recommend this squad to anyone.

Incredible and Unforgettable
Thanks so much for making out trip this week an incredible and unforgettable experience! Walmar, you've been an awesome, incredibly skillful captain while also being kind and friendly as can be. Along with Hein, you showed us how to e-foil and wakeboard and tube and just made it so much fun.
Hein, you're just a master mixologist. Incredible cocktails, best painkiller I have had here, bar none.
And Tamika, I cannot believe how good the meals you concocted for us were. Every single meal was just impeccable and every course too. I'm going to think about your tuna and tiramisu for a long time.
Thank you so much for everything!

Consummate Professionals
Thank you for treating the family so well and allowing us to have a wonderful week together. You are all consummate professionals. thanks for the patience and catering so well to my unusual dietary needs! Next time I'll dive deeper than 18'
Great trip - thanks again

A Hard One To Beat
Thank you so much for everything this week.
Touring these beautiful islands with our friends and three best crew members will be a hard one to beat. The food and cocktails were incredible and photo-worthy every time. Greg and I cannot wait to get to South Africa for our honeymoon filled with all your recommendations.
Thank you for making this trip so wonderful

Exceeded Every Expectation
Where do we ever begin?
Tru North exceeded every expectation that we had stepping onboard a week ago - the drinks never stopped, the sailing was perfect, the stops were gorgeous and the crew always went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of.

Heins never ending cocktails were fabulous and Tamika's culinary creations were over the top! We were absolutely in awe at every meal and still cannot stop talking about the food we ate this week!

Walmar is the best captain in the USVI and BVI and we are so thankful for all he did for us! We will be back and we look forward to more memories made on Tru North.

What Can We Say?
What can we say! Tru North exceeded all our expectations as a true 5 ***** boat.
We were happily surprised by all the beautiful amenities.

Walmar, Tamika and Hein made the trip truly memorable. From the amazingly delicious meals that were not only healthy and flavorful but also variety, to the wonderful and safe diving and snorkeling.

We were in THE BEST hands and were so impressed with the extra care of our family. We can't praise them or say thank you enough for the trip of a lifetime.

Crew Was Just Wonderful!
This has been a wonderful week. The crew was just wonderful.....
You can't ask for any better than they were.
Food was fabulous.

All I have to say - 100 out of 100.

------------------

I had the time of my life. Thank you for creating memories I will remember forever.

Fantastico!
Fantastico - one of many words to describe our week with crew on Tru North, exploring the US and BVI's. Walmar found great snorkeling spots, lunch stops and overnights. Tamika's cooking and presentations so much better than Five Star. Hein earned his reputation as world's best mixologist. This was truly a world class, over the top, sailing adventurer, never to be forgotten with many, many memories.

Beyond Compare
What a spectacular trip with old friends and three new friends! Tru North is beautiful and took us to such wonderful spots to swim, snorkel and hike and the food was beyond compare, and the cocktails sublime.
many thanks to our three new friends for taking such good care of us.

My 5th Charter - The Best!
Fabulous memories were made this week thanks to a wonderful crew!
This is my 5th charter to the BVI and the best of all five. Captain Walmar took us to the best spots and went out of his way to be the most gracious host. He even snorkeled with us - helping us find interesting fish - something none of the previous captains have done.
Perhaps, the real highlight of the trip was Tamika's cuisine. We were amazed at every meal, both with presentation and taste. We all looked forward to Hein's mixology creations too. That coconut drink is first class!!
All three crew members work so well together with the intention of pleasing their guests.
Thank you!

Our BEST Trip
This was our BEST sailing trip EVER! You all were so welcoming, each meal was fabulous, the snorkeling was the best (especially because of your sightings) and each mooring was beautiful. many, many thanks for such a special week.
All the best and see you soon!
.......and we loved Hein's cocktails!!

Absolutely Incredible Experience

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to the three of you for an absolutely incredible experience during our yacht charter in the BVI. Your warm hospitality, impeccable service, and attention to detail truly made our trip unforgettable.

From the moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted with such kindness and professionalism. The food and drinks surpassed all expectations, and each meal was a delightful culinary journey. The care and skill that went into every dish were evident and greatly appreciated.

The yacht itself was stunning, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure alike. Every aspect of the boat was meticulously maintained, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout our journey.

But what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service provided by each member of the crew. Your dedication to ensuring our enjoyment and comfort did not go unnoticed, and we are immensely grateful for all that you did to make our trip so special.

Thank you once again for an unforgettable journey. Wishing you all the best, and hoping our paths cross again in the future.

Wishing you all the very best.

Hein all the best for you and you family, you are an example for all of us.

Incredible Crew

It was such a great week on board. An amazing crew and yacht!!

It's really hard to describe in words the sweetness, the hospitality and the kindness of this incredible crew.
Even more, combined with this, this paradisiac spot - can never be better than this!!!

Thank you guys for providing this great experience for the entire family. We are going to miss you all.

Broker Review
I’ve received a glowing review from my clients onboard Tru North last month. Simone, Jaco and Hein went above and beyond to impress this group that has been chartering in the BVI for a few years now. I think they found their favorite crew yet!

“First things first, Tru North is a GORGEOUS catamaran!! An amazing layout with stunning finishes that is maintained so attentively by the delightful crew as if the boat were their own. We were all so comfortable in our beautiful cabins. The only small hiccup (of no fault of the crew!) was an issue with the lights in the master cabin the last night of charter. Some of the accent lights were flashing as we went to bed and then turned completely on in the middle of the night. We were unable to get them to turn off. Jaco was extremely apologetic when I notified him, but again, just one of those things out of anyone’s control. Luckily, I sleep like the dead (especially after swimming with sea turtles all day!) and my husband had a little liquid assistance in the sleeping department in the form of Coors Light. 😂

This crew is awesome!!!! Jaco and Simone are a fantastic team, and the addition of Hein just takes it to a whole new level. They are so kind and friendly, so very attentive but in a quiet and unassuming way. They were always at the ready to oblige any request that hadn’t already been anticipated (which was often the case!) but in a way that felt very much like our group was just there on our own, enjoying our time together. Mastering the perfect balance between that extremely high level of service but not ever intruding or being overbearing is not really something that can be taught easily and they all three have the magic touch. Not even to mention the vast knowledge the Captain and crew must have to be able to do this job so masterfully, in terms of boat mechanics, navigation, etc. As a group of boat owners ourselves, it’s truly astounding! An example that comes to mind is when I was snorkeling and called up to Andy to hand me his GoPro and he told me the battery was dead. Not to worry...Jaco to the rescue! He had charged and replaced the battery, so I was good to go.

Chef Simone is an absolute delight both in and out of the kitchen. Her meals were varied, flavorful and plentiful with an eye for presentation. She accounted for every person’s preference effortlessly. The table was always a sight to behold, especially at dinner when we enjoyed a different table setting each evening! We also enjoyed Hein’s stunning sunset cocktail offering, in addition to his attentive service all day making sure we all had a drink of our choosing in our hands.

Our entire group was just blown away by the attention to our navigation preferences and well as safety. Jaco was so attentive and communicative every step of the way, which allowed us to cover so much ground (or water🤪). Due to weather conditions, it took us three stops at The Baths to finally be able to make safe entry. He was so nonchalant about the pivoting that was obviously required to get us there and even accompanied our group (along with Hein) to make sure our day remained a safe and uneventful adventure. The week was quite windy and Jaco always went above and beyond to find us the perfect serene cove to enjoy, even if it meant moving to an entirely new area. He and Hein always effortlessly had any and all water toys at the ready and in perfect working order. I think the men finally felt like they mastered the efoils! I know Jake very much enjoyed scuba diving in those beautiful waters while the rest of us snorkeled to our hearts’ content. Jaco and Simone also accompanied us during our afternoon on St John. Simone advising us on the best places to shop and Jaco helping the men on their plans to avoid shopping by barhopping. 😆

All in all it was an absolutely magical week!! A week we are hoping to repeat with this crew on this magnificent vessel much sooner than later. I will leave you with a message for our amazing crew…. baai dankie! Until next time. ❤️”

BROKER REVIEW
Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yacht was impeccable and amazingly clean.

Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
The crew as by far the best crew we have had in our charter history. Jaco and Simone are professionals of the highest level. They are without a doubt one of the best crews Sailing the BVI.

Was the food good and well presented?
Food was amazing and presentation was always first class. Simone always took extra time to decorate the table and do plate presentation.

Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Yacht is exceptionally maintained. Crew is exceptional in all aspects. By far one of the best yachts and crew sailing in the BVI's. Could not think of a single negative comment. Our trip was everything we had hoped for. We are experienced Charterers and this was simply the best we could have ever asked for. The crew! Just can not say enough nice things. They are over and above what is expected of a normal crew. Well done by all.

Incredibly Good Time
English Translation:

This week I had an incredibly good time. What I liked the most was the fishing. Thank you for transmitting your wisdom of fishing, although I would have loved to be able to catch a tarpon with my sweet hands.

Thanks to Jaco, a man of peace, adventure, and marine experiences, as well as someone who has a good heart. I will never forget this week. When we went to The Baths, Jaco (and I know this in my heart) helped us become adventurous men.

We were fascinated with the delicious food from Simone. Dish after dish she changed our lives. Simone with her wisdom and abilities in the kitchen truly touched our palates. Thank you for everything!!!

Thank you for a truly amazing week! It's been perfect in every way...fun relaxing, and great food!!!

You have thought of everything - all we had to do was relax and enjoy!
As you know our trip almost didn't happen as our oldest daughter and her husband cancelled for a great reason. Now we all can't wait to come back to stay with you next year with all the family including the blessing of a new baby granddaughter too!

Thank you Jaco and Simone for a truly wonderful and memorable week!

Wonderful memories with friends and family, made better by our super hosts!
Amazing trip. Wonderful memories with friends and family, made better by our super hosts, Simone and Jaco! Every detail was well planned and executed, and the food and drinks were awesome. Thank you for the waterski tows and for finding us calm water! :) Excellent trip to unplug and enjoy everything the Virgin Islands have to offer!

Until next time…

We Loved Every Minute
We loved every minute and hate to say goodbye to our new friends Jaco and Simone. Thank you for anticipating our every need and whim, your tremendous hospitality will not be forgotten. Wish you much happiness and success in life…we knows, we may be back again and hopefully have both of you as crew!

The result - a magnificent unforgettable vacation experience!
Thank you for everything! - You made it a pleasure to sail with you for the past 7 days. Your knowledge and experience of where to visit, swim, snorkel, scuba dive, eat, drink and anchor were invaluable. We marveled at your teamwork - seemingly smooth and effortless - from sailing and putting up and setting down anchors, and of course food preparation. The food was absolutely outstanding! Every meal scrumptious - and artfully mastered! The yacht is a gorgeous state of the art catamaran maintained in pristine condition. The result - a magnificent unforgettable vacation experience for our family and other close friends!

What a PHENOMENAL trip!
What a PHENOMENAL trip. Thank you Jaco and Simone for the lovely trip full of beautiful sights and fantastic food. Can’t think of a better way to start 23’. All the best to both of you and - note to future passengers - we tried to move in for good but figured you didn’t want to add 9 more of us to your charters! :)

Thank you again!

Unforgettable Trip!
Thank you so much for such a memorable Christmas vacation! The food was outstanding and I can't pick which meal was my favorite. You took us to some beautiful places and we can't wait to visit again! Thank you for introducing Ryan to "new" fruits and vegetables and fixing Wang after we broke him :) This was an unforgettable trip and it wouldn't have been possible without the two of you!

OMG!
You two are such wonderful people that quickly made this an unforgettable trip. I feel like we made two great friends in just 7 days. Thank you for taking us to and helping us explore all the beautiful places you know and making each one a personal and memorable experience. And OMG, the food will forever live in my dreams. Thank you so much.

THANKFUL!
The Morgan family was blessed to have you as our crew. You are fun, hard working, creative and one perfect couple to make a family feel welcome aboard. The special touches you added for Christmas were unexpected and appreciated. Simone, your meals were sooo good and the presentation fantastic. Jaco, never a dull moment on the water with you at the helm. We are thankful for all of your talent and hard work to make our Christmas family vacation so wonderful. THANK YOU!

Thank You for an Amazing Trip!
Thank you so much for an amazing trip! The food was amazing and we loved every second of it. The scuba diving was fantastic as was the snorkeling. Jaco and Simone were simply fantastic and you both exceeded our expectations. "thank you" isn't sufficient!
What a wonderful trip.

Sailing Was Amazing!
We boarded the boat knowing little about boating and sailing and it was amazing!!
Jaco and Simone exceeded our expectations. We learned so much about sailing the local islands and loved every minute of it!
TOTAL PROS!
Thank you so much for helping us create amazing memories with our families.
We will be back.

Thank you Millions!
The host and hostess with the MOSTEST! Jaco and Simone made our trip the BEST. Sun, amazing views, perfect breakfast, lunch, dinner and a perfectly nailed charcuterie board every day made our entire crew feel like "primary"
oh, and there were a few drinks to really help relax the ladies and some of the boys. We've felt at home for the last week and don't want the time to end. While we have to go home, we'll still be living here in our minds and hearts.
Jaco and Simone might be steering a beautiful boat but the two of them are amazing. We admire your courage, passion and commitment to making our vacation an overwhelming success!

See You In The Future!
Congratulations to the best Captain of the Caribbean! Amazing Yacht!

" Thank you for this whole trip, it was very nice, we were attended in the best fashion by Joaco, Simon and Cata. We hope to see you in the future, on another trip!! We will be waiting for you in Argentina! Big hug! thank you!
