Rating of Charter Company & Yacht: 5
Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
super friendly and provided great support in finding last minute items. Boat briefing was good.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Covered all the essentials and able to respond to questions
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Boat was well equipped and stove and fridge worked well
Was the yacht well ventilated?
ventilation in stem cabins was a bit iffy if the wind was low at night
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Barnabus is a very nice boat and it is unfortunate that there are so few monohulls now in the fleet. Since we aren't looking for a cat rental we will probably not going to be able to go back to Belize
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Great cruising area, but you have to really pay attention to weather and depth gauge. Saw one boat on the rocks and had two challenging anchorages when the wind shifted

Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes. The boat was very comfortable and clean. The crew took great care of the boat and made sure to keep it spotless throughout our charter. It was spacious enough for our group and had everything we needed for our week long charter.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Rob, Bex, and Dani were AMAZING. They catered to our every need in a prompt and delightful manner. They were informative and friendly and went out of their way to make our vacation exceptional. Our crew was personable and helpful and really made our charter. They made us feel like family and we were all really sad to leave them.
Was the food good and well presented?
The food was EXCEPTIONAL. You could tell that Rob and Bex take pride in their cooking and their presentation. Every meal was well balanced and perfectly prepared. There was a variety of dishes and we looked forward to every meal. Dani also took pride in setting a beautiful table for every meal. Furthermore, Rob and Bex seemed to know exactly when we would need a snack and had it prepared and waiting for us. We enjoyed every single meal and the food exceeded our expectations.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
We can't say enough great things about our crew. They were delightful in every way. They met our every need and did so with a great attitude. Bex planned scuba diving trips, taxis, dinner reservations - whatever we needed. She made our trip effortless. And Rob was also a great snorkeling guide!! Truly, this crew made our trip.

Additional comments about working with the VI Sailing team to plan your vacation?
An email with all of the extra options would be helpful. We loved all of the options - but I felt badly emailing the concierge with multiple requests. Could be a bit more efficient with the add ons (from guest end and concierge end).

The grill did not work. We actually noted this to the sunsail rep in our onboarding meeting but he assured us it was just the wind. Instead - we found out that night it was broken. Minor - but was a little frustrating.
