Yacht Name: Serena
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?
Serena was spotless when we got on board. It was extremely hot (hey, it's June), and the crew ran the AC whenever we wanted.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
We can't say enough about the crew. They took fantastic care of us. I can't even think of any way they can improve.
Was the food good and well presented?
The food was amazing. We have lots of food allergies among the six guests, and they prepared amazing meals working around our allergies. Sometimes we'd get 3 or 4 different meals served to us, just to accommodate. Vivi always made sure everyone had a fantastic meal.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
We felt like we made friends with the crew. The yacht was gorgeous, and amazingly appointed. It was comfortable, and fit our needs exactly.
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
We wanted to snorkel, sail, and snorkel every day. We did that in secluded gorgeous bays among St Thomas, Water Island, St John and several smaller uninhabited islands. We were often one of only a small handful of boats in the area. It was exactly as we had dreamt.
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
Every day we'd snorkel a few hours after a light breakfast of fruit and pastry. They we'd lounge for a bit. Sometimes we ate lunch after the snorkel, sometimes after a sail to another bay. The sail was usually a few hours, and I drove most of the time with Captain Hugh working the sails. My crew laid around reading and enjoying beverages. After anchoring or mooring (often in a federal park) we'd go snorkeling and swimming for a few more hours before dinner. After dinner we usually had a few cocktails. Two nights Hugh and Vivi participated in an impromptu karaoke singalong. A few days we swam or took the dingy to the beach and spent some time enjoying the shallows.
