We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Yes. Extremely. The captain (Paul) went above and beyond to take excursions, care for seniors, share information and give us unique experiences.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
The layout was extremely comfortable. Upper deck was a great place to be during sailing trips and at night. Yacht was clean initially but the dining area was not maintained during the week. Food crumbs stayed on the deck throughout the trip.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
The air conditioning went out Day 3. Paul (captain) tried to troubleshoot and fix but was unable to and there was not anyone who was able to come and address at port. Paul was very concerned and gracious dealing with a stressful situation. He anchored and moored in bays that caught a night breeze. We were fortunate that we experienced little rain and temperatures were moderate, otherwise it could have been uncomfortable. Not ideal for our senior parents in their 80's.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
Yes. The food was excellent. Fresh, well prepared, flavorful and a nice presentation.
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
Absolutely 100%. Paul's selection of routes and coves were exceptional and enjoyable whether it be sailing, hiking, or snorkeling.
6. Could we at Virgin Island Sailing, Ltd. have helped you further in any way?
7. May we post this review on our website?
Yes
8. Additional comments on your charter?
Towels were not replenished or maintained. We were all given one towel each for the entire trip. There were 5 beach towels for 7 people. One was used to wipe up coffee and we had to continue to use throughout the trip. Paul's selection of activities, attention, care and fun personality rate a 5. Food and culinary experience is a 4-5 along with Ramona. Physical boat 2-3 because of the air conditioning going out.

We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Absolutely. Matthias was very flexible and accommodating. He was able to adjust the trip itinerary based on what activities we wanted to do, and even our whims of the moment. Both Matthias and Dominic were great hosts.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes, the yachts was comfortable. It was nice since we were the only couple, we were able to use the second bedroom cabin to store our stuff. The deck was comfortable with padded seats and mat to lay on.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
The inner cabins had windows that we could open and we used the air conditioning at night to sleep.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
Dominic is a professional chef and the food was absolutely delicious and prepared as gourmet. We were absolutely not expecting this level of delicious food and presentation. I think we were lucky having Dominic as the Chef
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
Yes. We sailed around St Thomas, Water Island, and St John. St Croix was too far to sail to, which I didnāt realize but made sense.

I can't say enough good things about our experience from the very first moment that we met Mandy and Joe at the port till we disembarked ! This was our first experience sailing but definitely will not be our last . Joe and Mandy both were excellent attended to our every need. The food was amazing from presentation to flavor menu was very creative & satisfying! Joe was like having your very own personal mixologist the drink of the dayšš¼āāļø was some thing we all look forward to I would definitely say they were crafted cocktailsš¤. We look forward to sailing many more times with Mandy and Joe on KUMA TOO !
