Charter Guest Feedback:
Shannon,
Getting back into the swing of being a ‘grown up’ was a distraction.
We cannot thank you enough for the care and time you took to put together the trip of a lifetime. Captain Shaun is an absolute delight. He is a wonderful man – kind, capable, fun – just a gem. And the rest of the crew were spectacular. They could not do enough to make our week memorable.
Chef Nelson created incredible meals at every sitting – truly a remarkable talent.
Christian – the mate – worked so incredibly hard to deliver the fun and help keep the ship running smoothly.
We snorkeled several times a day/had amazing beach BBQ’s and sunset cocktails on an island and so much more.
He was really knowledgeable about the area.
And Abby – what a gem. A ray of sunshine everyday/all day and such a hard worker. Like a little fairy always keeping on top of tidying and serving.
We grew very fond of each and every one of them.
Like any boat trip we had to navigate weather issues but the issues and changes were managed in a quiet and positive way which ensured that we never felt the effects.
We certainly wanted to turn the ship around and do a repeat loop this week – which of course would never happen. But we are convinced it is something to plan again for the coming year.
Words truly fail to capture the joy of last week.
With warmest regards and sincere appreciation,
