Orientation was very helpful

Toilets were now perfectly clean on arrival. Some stains on the bowl and seat. We cleaned the bathrooms our selves on the first day. All 4 heads smell terrible which was surprising for such a new yacht.

Yes, bowls and utensils needed replacing.
Appliances all worked well.
Was the yacht well ventilated?

Batamaran was the perfect boat for a group of our size. I had not chartered a FP before.
Cruising Area

Rating of Yacht & Crew:
(5 Being the Highest) 5
Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Absolutely!
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Very well ventilated with nice reliable fans.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Not just friendly -- they went out of their way to make our experience delightful and special!
Was the food good and well presented?
The chef, Maddie, was facing a challenge because of the differences in our tastes and dietary requests but for every meal she found ways to prepare and present excellent dishes that were essentially the same for both of us yet met our individual tastes. That was pretty amazing and the food was delicious every time. Great job!
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Justin was an excellent captain and guide and did everything possible to make us comfortable, relaxed, entertained on board and ashore, and teamed up with Maddie to give us fun, friendly conversations, yet they gave us plenty of alone time, too. Perfect balance!
And Sam, the really cool four-legged third crew member was delightful company and very gentle and well trained. She definitely did her part to enhance our experience!
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes but we were disappointed by being unable to go back and forth from the USVI to the BVI. Still, Justin did an amazing job of taking us to them kind of places we most want to visit. We'll be back.

We spun a prop which put us in a bad spot. The anchor didn’t work luckily we had few boats that saw our problem and assisted us to get on a mooring ball after the starboard motor spun a prop leaving us with only one motor and no way to drop anchor to secure us.
