Yacht & Crew
Please answer the following questions pertaining to the yacht you chartered and the crew.
Rating of Yacht & Crew: 5
Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
When we arrived on the Wanderlust, the boat was pristine. Everything was incredibly clean from the deck to the suites. The boat is beautifully decorated, and the color scheme is bright and cheery. There was a lot of room in all the lounging areas and plenty of spaces to retreat if you want to just relax and read.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes, and the air conditioning worked great too.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Dean & Charne were absolutely amazing... such a sweet and happy couple. It was obvious that they really enjoy hosting the guests and making sure we had everything we needed. Dean was always on top of everything regarding the boat and seemed to anticipate anything that was needed. He is a great captain and we loved hearing about what adventures were in store for us each day. Charne was the most amazing chef and made sure we were well fed and happy! Each meal was better than the last! Her desserts were delicious, so we usually ate every last drop. And, she somehow managed to clean our cabins while we ate breakfast, so we always had clean cabins.
Was the food good and well presented?
Yes, Charne created such a nice variety of food and it was always made from scratch and presented beautifully. For breakfast, she made us a wide variety of fruit platters, and items such as pancakes, cinnamon rolls, breakfast tacos, bacon & sausage, yogurt, baked Moroccan dish with eggs. Lunch was poke, salads, fish tacos, etc. And, dinner was always something unique and with a special twist. We enjoyed Lamb lollipops, fresh mahi mahi, steak, chicken and shrimp. Every salad she made was different but equally scrumptious. All us girls, wanted her recipes!!!!
Dean has a knack for tablescape. He created the most amazing designs with everything from fresh flowers, Seaglass, shells, fairy lights and figurines. The linens were different for every meal, and we loved seeing his creations each evening.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Dean and Charne are originally from South Africa, and we really enjoyed hearing about their past experiences in their home country as well as their sailing adventures. They are delightful as a couple and are so accommodating. They will ensure that you have the best time and have everything you need to have a fabulous vacation!
Also, Dean made sure he found the most amazing coves to anchor at. He always made sure the toys were available if we wanted to use them. They have paddle boards, sea bobs, a floating mat, and snorkeling gear. We didn't dive ourselves, but Dean offered that sport as well.
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes, Dean took us to all the best islands and we got to visit everything on our list. He arranged for massages on the water on Jost Van Dyke, a tour of the island and lunch at a hilltop restaurant called Hog's Heaven after we went to the baths. He sailed to Anegada and that was a fun experience. Besides getting to eat delicious lobster, we had a taxi drive us to 3 beach bars that had the most beautiful beaches. Nothing is better than floating in the Carribean blue water with a tropical cocktail in hand.
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
I think we can all agree...massages on the water is a must, and a day at the soggy dollar bar!

Additional comments about working with the VI Sailing team to plan your vacation?
Kelly Coughlin and the team were awesome. I explained to Kelly, what we were looking for, and she narrowed our choices down to a select few that would fit the bill. She was spot-on when she recommended Wanderlust as one of them. The boat was gorgeous, and the crew were top-notch.
Would you book your next yacht vacation with Virgin Island Sailing®? Yes, and I did. We are going to Greece in June and Kelly Coughlin helped us find the perfect crewed boat.
