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, however supposedly there were some online videos specifically for our boat (Lagoon 40) which I was unaware of. As a result it was a little hard to remember every detail regarding operation of the electrical system during our 45-minute briefing of the entire yacht, so I had to call a few times. Horizon did provide an operational manual that was about 95% complete details.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yes
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes, only the toaster didn't work, not a big deal
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
The engine on the dingy wasn't working which should have been tested before we arrived. However, the Horizon Ops team talked me through a temp fix.

Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
I don’t agree with paying for a full tank of gas at the start when I know I was not going to burn all that fuel. I like the idea of having a full tank of gas and returning it with a full tank.
One engine died on us and the moorings were there within the hour to repair it. Excellent response time.

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?
The yacht was beautiful and spacious. We had 6 guests and felt that was the perfect amount for the space.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
The crew was absolutely fabulous. They provided exceptional service.
Was the food good and well presented?
Vera provided the most amazing food. The quality of the food was from a 5 star restaurant. She also did a fabulous job accommodating the vegetarian on board and created meals very similar to our main meals for her. Cannot say enough about the quality of the food. We will miss the food terribly!
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Our captain, Derek, was wonderful, attentive, and very responsible with his duties. Dunja our stewardess was awesome as well and always showed up with a cocktail when we needed it. The whole team was wonderful and made the experience very enjoyable. We’d highlight recommend this crew! Top notch.
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes. The wind picked up the last few days and our evening anchored spots were a bit rocky however. We’ve traveled in the USVI previously and felt the BVI had more to see and explore.
Would you like to share your itinerary or a vacation highlight with us?
We loved our stop in Virgin Gorda and our visit to Coco Maya restaurant was awesome and the visit to the Baths. We enjoyed Sabra Rock and our visits to the bars at local resorts. We had massages at Scrub Island Resort which were lovely and that pool area was fun to hang out in. We also stopped at Peter Island and enjoyed seeing the gorgeous resort and beach. We stopped at Soggy Dollar as well which was fun.
