Reia, I have to tell you that our trip was so incredibly amazing! The Acapella, its captain and staff made the trip just an all-around amazing one. K. R ACAPELLA / Croatia / May 22

Trina, we had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING vacation. Even more amazing than the vacation itself was our CREW. Julian, Ben, Taylor and Adrienne were unreal. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of individuals to make our vacation so successful. It would be unbelievable for all of your charters to have a crew as incredible as they are. I wanted to THANK YOU for being so helpful in coordinating this charter for us. I am definitely going to plan another charter next year and hope to have the opportunity to be on the same yacht with the same crew. Thanks again. JH DAY ONE / Bahamas / 11-18 June 2022

Amanda, the trip was absolutely wonderful. The boat, crew, itinerary, and overall experience was great! The crew was top notch and treated us great! I am not sure there is a thing we would have changed about the trip. Nick and his crew should be proud to work together on the SEA AXIS. As you know, I have done several of these type trips with the family, and the SEA AXIS crew was the best we have had that I can remember. The food was fantastic as well. The flexibly of the crew was great as well. I want to thank you as well. Without you putting us on this boat and crew, we would not have had the experience we had. The boys and I will definitely be doing this trip again down the road, and I will make sure I reach out to you. Great trip!!! CB SEA AXIS / Bahamas / May 2022

Sailing Yacht Acapella is an astonishing beautiful well-maintained sailing yacht. With a heart wrenching incredible back story that would make a great movie. The yacht handles so well and is incredibly comfortable. I have never slept so well. Captain Niksa has a deep knowledge of Croatia, he is an incredibly talented sailor and has trained his crew to perfection. I never saw him slow down - he was always working to make sure this was a great charter. It is so nice to see a crew so happy to be working together. Plus, everyone on the team is a superstar. Chef Tihomir was very impressive. He hit every meal out of the park and did such a great job coming to the table to explain the meals and asking the guests what they wanted daily. All the crew were hard working, professional and so sweet and kind. The aft deck dining area is perfect and there are so many great areas to sit on deck. The main salon was incredibly comfortable and beautiful. The tender is exceptional and should be highlighted with the super wide and steady passerelle. The itinerary was planned to perfection. A night at the dock, then on anchor was a great way to go.

Martha, what an incredible yacht. Upon stepping aboard the Limitless, you would think she just came out of the ship building yard. Absolutely in pristine condition. Plenty of room from the suites to the upper deck. TV’s in every room as well as your own ensuite bathroom. The “toys” available to use were numerous and in top condition, from Sea doo’s to Sea-bobs. Plenty of snorkeling equipment that fit and worked perfectly. A water slide, acrylic canoe and floating platform that attaches to the rear of the vessel. What fun. As for the crew, top notch. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They work very hard to make your adventure unforgettable. For 7 days straight, the food was better than most 5-star restaurants. B.C LIMITLESS / Nassau – Nassau, Bahamas / 12-19 January 2022

LJ, the yacht was in very good condition, as were all the water toys. The crew was proactively attentive to our needs, and the food was amazing. Several members of our party had dietary restrictions and the chef worked around them brilliantly. I can’t imagine you being more helpful. We really appreciate all of your effort and pulling the trip together on somewhat shorter notice than we are accustomed to. STARSHIP 143 / Nassau-Nassau / 23-30 Nov 2021

LJ, The boat was great, clean, functional, beds comfortable, bathrooms did what you needed them to do. The yacht was tidy, neat, hard to clean the windows from the outside because of the design of the yacht. Loved stargazing from the sundeck while underway at night. We loved the fishing and SCUBA experiences, well-organised, and staff were all great. Saw lots of hammerhead sharks, turtles, sea life, it was incredible. And the crew took underwater cameras with to document our experience which was great. The crew were fantastic, most helpful and accommodating, always in a good mood and available to us. There was one housekeeper onboard (Victoria) who really hustled, worked exceptionally hard was very attentive. It’s good that you set our expectations prior to booking, as this level of yacht and service is different to what we are accustomed to on the other luxury yachts we have chartered. Our Naturalist, Fabricio, was very good at finding appropriate activities for our three generations. The boat director (Edison) would join us for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and was proactive at explaining where we were, where we were heading, and what to expect. His English was impeccable in fact he has spent some time in Chicago which was interesting. Bar Service and Food was fantastic and far exceeded expectations. The turkey and whole fish that was served for Christmas was something very special and memorable. The Chef and sous Chef were very attentive to our dietary needs and compliant with all of our requests. The whole group was most appreciative to have you guide us through travel during these uncertain times. We felt most grateful that we could take this trip successfully while so many others were dealing with cancellations and postponements over the holidays 2021/2022 with omicron. ENDEMIC / Galapagos / 19-26 December 2021

Colin, we had a great charter. Séamus and Morgane could not have been nicer and went all out to ensure we had a nice time. Morgane’s service and food were five star. Great menus for all meals. Elvis Magic was in great condition and we enjoyed the boat. Séamus worked hard to help us with all the toys. We fished, paddle boarded, snorkeled and learned to ride the e foil! Tender is nice size so we were able to go around to places on it easy. We highly recommend them for future charters. We were flexible on the itinerary and tailored it to the weather and anchorage mooring availability. Thanks for all your help. RM ELVIS MAGIC / St Martin / 16-23 April 2022

Hi Martha, thank you again for all your efforts in assisting this long-awaited charter! It was a tough couple of travel days on each end, but we loved KING BABY, and it was totally worth all our crazy efforts! Please let the owner know that we appreciated his flexibility, and we were all so impressed by his beautiful King Baby Experience. It is a wonderful yacht with a great crew. We look forward to having you help us with our next adventure! Kind regards, M and R. KING BABY / 19-26 March, 2022

Amanda, we had a lovely time. Other than not being able to go to some different islands it was all good and that wasn’t anyone’s fault, due to high winds. The staff, they were wonderful!!! The food Lucy prepared was fabulous! Everyone was so gracious and accommodating. Thank you, T. CHRISTINA TOO / Saint Maarten / 1-8 March 2022

Good morning Martha, we had a tremendous time on Skyfall! We couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating captain and crew. All our needs were met immediately and with a cheerful attitude. We really enjoyed getting to know the crew and appreciated their unique personalities and skills. They were flexible when planning daily activities and meals, as well as locations to provide comfortable moorings. Every meal was delicious (all be it, too much) and presented on beautiful table settings. I mentioned to Kerri that our group wasn’t used to being waited on and she said they were there to exceed our expectations. They did more than that. Everyone was thrilled with all the Skyfall “swag” and will use it and remember a trip of a lifetime. Regards, D and E. SKYFALL / St Martin – St Barth / 12-19 March 2022

Martha, Congratulations. The boat is superb. The cruise was perfect. REFLECTIONS and its’ crew was phenomenal. Carlos REFLECTIONS / 9-19 February 2022

Hello Trina, well after much thought I have to confess the following negatives about our week on Tail Lights. 1) It’s over. 2) Pretty sure we each came home a few pounds heavier. 3) Back home we experienced much separation anxiety - from Dave’s cooking, Michelle’s margaritas, Sarah’s smiling face, Garrett’s “fix it” skills, Peter’s expertise on all things floating and/or motorized, and of course Captain Sean’s friendly personality, skill and leadership. In other words, I don’t think we could top this crew and this trip. The fact that all the crew members had just met each other the week before was unbelievable. They were so highly skilled, amicable, pleasant, and compatible. When Dave heard we wanted to watch the Super Bowl, he quickly designed a 9-course menu of Super Bowl food. I’ve never had anything like it! Every half hour we had some mouthwatering, extraordinary appetizer —all leading up to the grand finale of sliders and crispy hot fries… and warm brownies. One night we celebrated our son in law’s birthday and were surprised with a Disco theme complete with costumes. The entire crew joined in and made the night so fun. Michelle and Sarah could not have been more delightful, kind, patient and ready to meet our every need. I wanted to bring them home! All of the crew was top notch, and we would not change a thing. Thank you, Trina, for suggesting Tail Lights to us. Your instincts were perfect, and I hope we can work with you again in the future. Kind regards, B TAIL LIGHTS / Saint Thomas, BVI / 12-19 February 2022

Hi Martha, memories that we'll treasure forever. We enjoyed our trip so much, I'd love to look into finding a yacht (same or different) for next year. Thanks so much for all of your help organizing our wonderful xmas vacation! I look forward to work with you again in the future. Cheers. JUST ENOUGH / Nassau – Nassau / 28 December 2021 – 4 January 2022

Hello Martha, Happy new year! We recently returned from our first chartering experience aboard the Oculus in the Bahamas, and I must say it blew our expectations away. It began with the selection and reservation process with CharterWorld. Martha Lukasik was amazing from start to finish, hand holding every step of the way. She understood our needs, expectations, preferences, and concerns, and filtered the available options to recommend a perfect match. The Oculus covered all the bases, and then some. From Captain Andre to each individual in the crew, everyone excelled in their performance and their desire to keep us safe, pampered, and beyond happy. No's were very rare to come by, if at all. Niki anticipated our requests and delivered like magic. The food was extraordinary and the activities never ending, with a great selection of toys and a tender that facilitated going anywhere fast. The physical appearance of the yacht was excellent and the pictures on the website are true to form. E. OCULUS / Nassau - Nassau / 21-28 November, 2021

Good morning Trina, We finally returned home late last night after a most unforgettable trip of a lifetime for our entire family. We are all so very grateful for our time together on the Milestone! The crew was absolutely amazing, and we were so grateful that Captain Essen Butler could take over in a moment’s notice when Vince and his family were hit with Covid. We seriously cannot say enough about the entire crew and the true beauty of the Milestone. They more than attended to every one of our needs and we are still in contact with a number of them, as we also built friendships. The toys onboard left not one thing to be desired and the knowledge and training from the crew was incredible! I would be remiss to not mention Chef Tanner!! Honestly, never in any of our lifetimes, have we been served more delicious food that what Chef made for us onboard the Milestone. There actually are no words to describe it, or his beautiful personality as he presented each course. Simply amazing! He has already sent me some of his recipes along with a few Christmas Cookie recipes! He also made wonderful PB&J sandwiches and many more treats for the family members going to the airport and handed us the bag as we boarded the tender! I seriously cannot say enough about this wonderful guy! I have reached out to Captain Vince to tell him that I will send a more detailed message about our experience (not that this isn’t long enough) but that it truly was a “trip of a lifetime”! Again, thank you for arranging such a beautiful trip for us on the Milestone. My only fear is that I may have set the bar a bit high for our children for future family vacations!! I believe I may have created a new group of yachties! P.S. Bagatelle, Nikki Beach and ALL of St Barts was simply stunning!! Thank you, LB

Hi Trina, it was a fantastic experience and we all loved it. Captain Mauricio and his crew were amazing. There were a couple of technical issues, but they worked hard to resolve them promptly. We'll definitely have to do this again and look forward to exploring new destinations. Thank you for all your help and diligence making this great experience happen. E.R.

Trina, it was AWESOME! We had an absolute blast. The boat was great. Got on great with Terry and Ruth as well, though I hope we didn’t wear them out too much. We are a pretty loud and energetic crowd with 4 young boys. A.H.

Hello Reia, I hope this email finds you well. My client and his guests were delighted! He said: Excellent charter and great captain. Everything went very well. On my side, working with you all was such a great teamwork. I really liked your reactivity, flexibility, and good communication. I wish working always with people like the three of you. I will definitely recommend the yacht to brokers and clients.

Dear LJ, AURUM SKY is an exceptionally designed and crewed yacht suited especially well for groups of 10-12. It is also very good value compared to other yachts that I looked at before booking. As a newer yacht the interior condition reflected this. My sense was that the yacht was also maintained at a high standard. The exterior condition, including the water toys, was also consistent with my comments on the interior. I would strongly recommend this yacht. The layout is excellent for a group of 10-12. All the spaces, including the exterior and interior dining tables were designed to accommodate these numbers. The bedrooms were all very spacious and again, carefully designed to achieve this. The crew found some great spots for water sports and recommended anchoring in local town harbours that proved to be a popular choice with our group. The consensus was that the crew had a great service ethic, and they were always ready and eager to serve. We gave the food a “5 out of 5” rating, our preference list was met exactly. I am very appreciative of the care and attention to detail that you continued to provide on this charter, amidst the uncertainties of the past two plus years. It made a tremendous difference in my ability to understand the situation and to communicate effectively back to my group. The entire experience will undoubtedly help engender client loyalty, as it has with me.

Dear Martha, we arrived home last night, somewhat exhausted from the long day of travel. Our week on the BARENTS SEA was incredible. It was the best family vacation we have ever taken. The boat is beautiful, we loved all the outdoor spaces which we utilized all the time. We ate our meals and relaxed outside. Captain Dimitri and the staff were fantastic. We had to change the itinerary slightly due to weather but he made sure that we visited the islands that I really wanted to go to, even driving the boat overnight. All the staff were very attentive and accommodating. All of our kids were out on the toys every day and Spiro, Angelo and Giannis were always happy to get them ready and put them away and haul all of us to shore on the tender to whatever we wanted. Anna, Anastasia and Eleni were always attentive to our needs inside the yacht. The rooms were always clean and tidy. I asked the Captain for ideas for some surprises and he suggested live Greek music and fireworks which we did and I didn’t tell anyone ahead of time so it was quite the surprise! We all loved the chef and the food he prepared. He always consulted me about his thoughts and every meal he made was delicious. I wanted a healthy and light menu and he prepared just that. I also requested some traditional Greek dishes and he made some wonderful dishes for us. We all will probably diet for a few weeks to get back in shape! We enjoyed the experience tremendously, and realized as a family of 10 it is the easiest way to be together and move around, maybe not every year but it will definitely happen again, so you may be hearing from us in the future! Take care, C.

Hi Colin, many thanks for your email much appreciated. Weather affected us quite a bit but overall we still managed to have a good time. The crew and the captain were very good and made a big difference and the chef was outstanding. P.P

Dear Nick, we had an absolutely fantastic and unforgettable week! Captain Ross and his crew did an exceptional job. Extremely professional, attentive, and friendly. The yacht is so beautiful and very cosy for a group of 6. Last but not least the weather supported the wellbeing. THIS COULDN’T HAVE BEEN BETTER! Thank you for your help and your efforts making this trip so wonderful. Best regards, E

Colin, the crew was really fantastic. Dejan is a professional, calm and competent skipper and Andrijana’s cooking and hospitality was top class. I cannot commend them enough – they maintained something close to superyacht standards, which is an amazing feat for a team of just two. No request or requirement was ever too much. We were very lucky with the weather…and we managed to complete the full hoped-for itinerary. Thanks also to you for all the extra effort and renegotiations caused by the lockdown delays. Very happy we managed to pull this one off. P.K.
