Yes

8. Additional comments on your charter?
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Island Hoppin’. Taylor was a great Caption -very informative and knowledgeable of the Islands - great on the water and on the hikes we went on. Margaret was a great chef and cooked many wonderful meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fresh caught mahi, along with the lobster and conch she caught and prepared for us were wonderful. We wanted a crew that could both give us our private time as well and hang out with us and we got that. Would highly recommend all of the crew, the boat, and VI Sailing! We can’t wait for our next trip.

We have done a lot of traveling and this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The yacht was new, clean comfortable and the bridge deck is a great asset, it’s the best place to party or relax. Sailing to all of the beautiful ports was so relaxing and the scenery was just beautiful. The icing on the cake were Tony and Kate, they are two wonderful people. They are genuine, funny and pay attention to detail, their goal is to ensure you have a good time and we certainly did.

Bonnie, Steve and the Paradigm Shift exceeded all expectations. This is not our first rodeo. We have enjoyed sailing in the BVI's many times but this was, by far, our best overall experience, even though Covid limited our cruising area. Bonnie and Steve knew where to take us to maximize our experience. Snorkeling off Culebra was a highlight. We will definitely be back on the Paradigm Shift!
