Amanda, Thanks of your message. We had a wonderful time. Enrico and Angie were an incredible crew and equally as wonderful people. Overall I found the boat to be nice and very comfortable. I enjoyed working with you as well and found your attention to detail and our needs exceptional. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you on another trip in the future.

Martha, The captain, crew and boat were amazing!!!! Thank you so much for arranging all!

We had a great time. This could be the shortest charter on record. I think we moved 2 miles. :) The reason we didn’t move much is because the wind and the location were awesome for kiting. We kited every day. When we were not kiting we went snorkeling, swimming and tubing. All in all, we had a great time. The crew was great. Great personality fit with our family. They were professional, yet casual and approachable. The food was great. Vicky is a very good cook who takes her craft very seriously and with great pride. I would recommend the Aoibh and the crew to a friend - that is probably the best thing I can say.

Trina, Following up on our trip with Happy Time... Jeff and Caitlin were exactly as described. Very personable with both the adults and kids. Provided amazing food, and a really delightful atmosphere to sail in and enjoy the BVI. The trip completely lived up to our high expectations. Thanks again.

Amanda, Thanks for your message. We had a AMAZING trip. Donald and Audrey made us feel completely welcomed back! We all as a group really connected with Kyle last year and didn't think anyone could surpass him. Our group all agreed that Caitlyn did a great job! She is very sweet, hard working and has such a way about her. Especially for us being her 4 charter. We can be a handful!! Audrey's culinary skills can not be beat! I have been on the treadmill since my return! We all decided the weight gain was worth it for a week of her cooking! The presentation never fails to impress! I think a few of our friends on the trip are fussy eaters, and all they do is rave!! Every morning when I came up for my coffee Audrey was in the kitchen with a big "Good Morning" welcome for me. What a way to start my day! 😎 Donald is an amazing storyteller! He never fails to captivate our group. His energy is contagious, and somehow manages to keep us all on task. He is very good at keeping our schedule so we can do all things we want to do. He obviously loves the sea and sailing. It is a pleasure to be a part of all of it for a week! The boat is beautiful!! Our group especially enjoyed the fly bridge! That was probably our favorite part. The TV's in the room are nice - but honestly we didn't even turn it on. It would be nice though if you had a rain day. Amanda thanks for all your help with all the planning. We are hoping to book next year. We talked a little about it with Donald and Audrey about St Bart's St Martin etc. I will contact you when we have dates and such sorted out. Thanks again! C & C / SY BAMARANDI / April / BVI

Hello Amanda, We are sitting on Viva in a harbor in Maratea in Italy. What an amazing experience! But more importantly, Julio and Chiara are amazing people. They are so kind and attentive. And they please us in every way. They are so hard-working, I never realized how much that they would have to do. Thank you Amanda for everything you have been such a pleasure to deal with and for helping us to choose viva with such an amazing captain and first mate. We are so happy and so excited to be on this journey. Talk to you soon, P.

Martha -The charter was incredible. It was better than I had expected. The crew was amazing, they were willing to do whatever they could to help us out. We didn’t have any luck fishing, but that wasn’t a big deal. My brother and I are talking about trying to book the Starship for a family trip with his family and mine. So I will let you know when we find some dates that may work. Thanks again for all of the help! B. MY STARFIRE / April 23rd -27th / Bahamas

Amanda – confirm that we had a great week. Yacht is in great shape, Ricky and crew were fantastic, accommodating and very patient with our sometimes crazy 20-somethings. Preparations and logistics were well handled. In fact, we would more likely seek another/subsequent charter with Ricky and as much of that crew as possible, rather than focusing on the yacht itself – they made the difference and I would be more than happy to recommend any of them to other guests and/or other owners looking for crew. Thanks for your help – was a great experience and may do something in 2018 along the same lines Regards,

Dear Amanda- Just finished up a lovely week! Thank you for you're assistance. Beachfront and her crew were perfect! The yacht is lovely, the crew is fantastic and the dining is perfect...together with exceptional weather. T, MY BEACHFRONT / Nassau / June

An absolutely stunning trip. Weather was great, the crew were fantastic and we thought Annabel II was an amazing boat (lots of space).

Dear Amanda: It is a great pleasure to write a recommendation not only about you, but also about our choice of a yacht charter, the Viva, captained by Giulio and his wife Chiara. We looked at several charter companies, but we knew immediately that you were going to make this honeymoon happen. Your immediate detailed response to my query told me that you love your job and are very good at what you do. You helped us to choose the right yacht, make the best itinerary, and assisted with every detail of the trip. Our happiness was your priority and it was evident in every interaction we had. You are amazingly brilliant! (pun intended!) You know your business and it was most enjoyable to communicate with you! I felt like we became friends and it went beyond the charter. Thank you for your excellence!! Amanda, we can't thank you enough for all you did to help us plan the honeymoon of a lifetime! We look forward to working with you again when we are ready to plan our next charter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all you did! We promise to send photos when we get them from the photographer! With much gratitude,

Amanda, It was a great cruise, the boat and crew were perfect. The girls (3 & 5 years old) lost interest after an hour or so but they loved seeing the Statue of Liberty! Thanks for everything! MY JUSTINE/NY Harbour/ June

Trina, I thought it would be difficult to have a trip on a yacht be better than the one we had in last time in the French Riviera on Reeges Dream but alas we are speechless. We had an amazing time. The food from Chef Terry was amazing (we all gained weight but didn't care) Erica the head Stew was incredible as were Captain Brandon, Scottie and Taylor. The boat was stunning and well maintained with all of the necessary toys to make for an exciting time. I'm asking Mark for a jet ski and I've always been against them. So much fun. Thank you for finding us this charter. A 25th anniversary that we will never forget. Thank you so much.

Sally, It could not have possibly been better. The crew, captain and cook were the best I have ever seen. Truly the A team. Everything was so amazing. Thanks Sally! We will remain in touch.

Trina - We had a fabulous time! Melissa and Francesco took great care of us! The boat is fantastic - beautiful, well cared for - I am confident you can continue to recommend the boat and crew to your clients.

Trina - What an amazing first day. Food amazing service incredible yacht beautiful activities so fun!! Thanks we are all so happy and enjoying our first full day!! Crew is exceptional in every way. MY SEA DREAMS / Bahamas / June

We Love the boat! Marc is a joy. Thank you Amanda

Amanda, Very great start. Chad and crew are great. It will be tough leaving but not thinking about that now. MY THE PROGRAM / June / Bahamas

Amanda, The crew are fantastic as is the weather. We are enjoying. MY NOMI / June / Croatia

Amanda, Not as unplugged (phones) as I would like, but we are having a great trip. The boat is wonderful, the crew absolutely terrific, the food sensational--although we are at risk of gaining many pounds. Your colleagues on the ground in Bodrum were terrific too. Thanks for everything. Gulet ATALANTE / June / Turkey

Hello Josh, we had a wonderful time on this boat. the crew provided us with perfect service. the choice for Naseem was for our family ideal. we saw different boats and not a minute we would change. we had so much space on the fly and the master cabin was luxury too. We enjoyed very much and will repeat. The contact to you was very good too; very fast and friendly. Thank you for this service.

Good morning Trina. As we prepare to leave our "Dream" charter I wanted to thank you so so much for booking this amazing charter for my family. Will talk this week and do our debrief but wanted to let you know how wonderful the week was in so many ways. Happy 4th to you and your family.

Feedback from OMBRE BLU guest book: Dear Melissa and Francesco, Thank you for the most amazing vacation! These past 7 days have been perfect - the weather, food, accommodations etc. Thank you for sharing your beautiful boat with our family. It is clear that you value the satisfaction of your guests and go above and beyond expectations. We have created life long memories aboard the OMBRE BLU and you two will forever be in our hearts! OMBRE BLU / Amalfi / June

Reia, We have had a terrific week off Mallorca on Moonraker II. A tastefully refurbished boat, it is understated and luxurious. The skipper, Brett, complemented the sights with great local knowledge and chef, Suzanne, produced beautiful contemporary meals. Professional and friendly crew made this a perfect week in the Balearic Islands.
