Rating of Yacht & Crew: 4
Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Yes, but not extremely so.
Maddie, the cook/first mate, was more communicative.
Nick, the captain was more the stong silent type, but did a good job tailoring the itinerary to our interests.
We had no problems with them during the cruise.
Was the food good and well presented?
Yes.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
We would have liked to have a kayak to paddle to the beaches and look for turtles in some of the bays. There were 2 SUP's, but we were not skilled enough to use them comfortably in the ocean.
The machine for making water was quite noisy at night.

We liked walking to the Anneberg Plantation and Caneel Hill on St. John, as well as the trail through the Baths.
Snorkeling at the Indians was especially good.

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?
Yes!
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes!
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Ken and Julie went above and beyond to make our vacation what we wanted it to be!
Was the food good and well presented?
Yes! Every meal was made with high quality, fresh ingredients. You always “eat with your eyes first” and Julie’s dishes made your mouth water before you even took a bite.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
Yacht is absolutely beautiful! Individual air conditioning is each cabin made for very comfortable sleeping. Beds are comfortable and lots of great storage. Upper deck was spacious and a great place to hang out and enjoy the views!

I can’t say enough about the crew! Accommodating, knowledgeable, competent and fun! They made us feel like family! Capt. Ken’s knowledge of the islands and private contacts for tours/taxis made for a vacation that was stress free! Julie’s culinary skills are amazing! We nicknamed her the “titanium chef”. Because “iron chef” just isn’t good enough! Lol

We really enjoyed the floating island that Ken put up behind the yacht! Ken, master mixologist, made sure we had a fun cocktail while floating with toes in the water!
