Charter Company & Yacht
Please answer the following questions pertaining to the charter company and the yacht you chartered.
Rating of Charter Company & Yacht: 3
Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
Yes
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
No. AC did not work well. Took most of the night to get cool.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
No. Cooking equipment was good. However the boat did not have a sponge to clean dishes and they weren’t sold anywhere we stopped. Also would have liked a broom/dustpan/swiffer mop to clean the galley floors as they get quite sandy and dirty throughout the day. Also extra bath towels as one per person for the week is not sufficient if you have no access to laundry services. Bath mat as we had to use one of our hand towels to step on out of shower.
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Lex our captain was amazing!
Cruising Area

Yes they were!
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Yes they did.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
It was a great experience and the Yacht was great. However a few details easy fix. We have a boat at home so we know how to take good care. Previous renters apparently hit some corners. The rubber lining just needed a few screws. And a bit more cleaning around. But overall good. Not sure the aging, but it said 2020.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Cooking perfect! The knife sharpener was a plus.
Cleaning no. We had to purchase everything for cleaning. Only small dish soap. We purchase moping liquid and bathroom detergent. It is difficult to clean the floor seating in it. Please please leave a swifter or a mop. I had to use the outside broom with a few paper towels and fantastic to clean the floors every day. No wonder we found roaches. We also bought a wire brush for the BBq. Cleaning products are a MUST.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes !
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
AC was great. One toilet was working but it smelled like old poop all the time since I got there. Awful and we notified at check out. I had to por fabuloso everyday and open the window so it won’t smell inside.

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?
The yacht was impeccable, spacious and very clean. The crew was always on top of it.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
It was, the AC was amazing.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
The crew, Debbie and Captain Bob, were attentive and making sure that we were having a good time. We loved to interact with them, like we knew them for a long time. I loved sailing and like to keep a journal and Captain Bob will make time in the morning to go over previous day sailing and mapped out the route on the map. He will discuss the day's plan and different options to make sure everybody had a good time.
Was the food good and well presented?
AMAZING !!!! before the trip Debbie and I talked about dietary's needs and options, as she was planning the menu, and my daughter is vegetarian and does not like certain vegetables. Debbie made sure that my daughter had options. Debbie presented the food like an upscale restaurant explaining the food and sauces used.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
I enjoy a nice espresso in the morning, and I travel with my mini espresso maker. Debbie told me she had one in the yacht and bought the coffee and will brew it to perfection. Also, we were traveling to St Thomas three days before the scheduled cruise day and were caught in the Microsoft glitch, having to stay in Miami until the day before the cruise, crew kept in touch with us to make sure that we were making progress to make it as scheduled
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
We had cruise two previous times and both experiences were amazing, but this time was the cherry on top. The reefs that we snorkeled, beaches with barely anybody else, the shore trips for Happy Hour, all memorable.
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
We were picked up at Village Cay, we anchor by Beef Island for the night and at the crew's suggestion headed Trellis Bay for a Full Moon party.
The Baths, Virgin Gorda, Coral Gardens for Snorkel, Saba Rock for Happy Hour
Diamond Key for Snorkel, Sandy Spit for swimming and shelling
Jost Van Dyke: Soggy Dollar, Foxy's for afternoon HH and back for karaoke after dinner
Norman Island for Snorkel at The Caves, The Bight HH, Willy Ts for more HH
Norman Island for Snorkel at The Indians
St John, USVI for the night and next day we went to Cruz Bay before we were dropped off at Red Hook, St Thomas.
