Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
The mooring lines were too short and thus difficult to moor. The steering was stiff and the auto-pilot could not hold course, otherwise it was a great boat I would like to book again. The Lucia 40 is almost as efficient as a 44 footer.

Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes
Was the yacht well ventilated?
The ac was awesome!
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
They were really spectacular! I have too many compliments and not enough space! I can’t imagine chartering with anyone else.
Was the food good and well presented?
Sy and Kara were so great at accommodating our dietary restrictions! They were attentive to every detail of the food presentation from the amazing cocktails and appetizers to dessert! They researched my daughter’s diet and made food specifically for her! We’ve never had a vacation where she felt so healthy! Thank you so much!
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Sy and Kara helped make memories for our family that will last a lifetime. They were warm and friendly and were more like family than crew. We always felt well taken care of with them. Sy and Kara were wonderful to us. Kara’s knowledge of the ocean and marine life was phenomenal. She taught us so much! Sy was a great captain and amazing chef. His knowledge and experience as a captain kept us feeling secure and safe!
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
Sy and Kara took us to the most beautiful spots to anchor. The snorkeling was, without a doubt, the best we’ve ever experienced. The hikes they set up for us were really just spectacular and the views from the top of each cliff were breathtaking. We got to float on a salt pond. We swam with sea turtles and watched Kara catch a lobster!

Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
I believe that in the yacht description a water maker was part of the equipmant on board
Upon arrival we found out that Happy Ours is not equipped with a water maker
Not a deal breaker but I believe that info should be corrected
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes USVI is a beautiful area to sail however we were hoping to sail To BVI
Upon arrival to Compass Point Marina we found out that US charters are not allowed to go over to BVI
That was a bit disappointing but we still enjoyed sailing around St John And St Thomas
Hope that those restrictions will change in the future

8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Dani and Jeff were the perfect crew and the getalong was quite comfortable. We loved lounging about in the covered upper flyboard which was shaded and breezy and provided perfect vantage point for taking everything in on our sails.

Jeff took us to some fantastic snorkeling spots and the perfect out of the way bays for the night.
Jeff and Dani were great hosts and could tell when we wanted to socialize and when we wanted to chill and relax without saying a word. We all feel like we hit the jackpot with this PERFECT crew.
