Additional comments about working with the VI Sailing team to plan your vacation?
VI Sailing bailed me out with a last minute charter boat when my initial charter company cancelled my reservation at the last minute. We've chartered multiple times with many companies and this was the best service that we have ever received. The boat provided was in excellent condition and a pleasure to sail.

Upon arrival and during your charter, were the staff of the charter company friendly and accommodating?
They were very friendly and helpful. I will absolutely consider Navigare next time when looking at my 2027 Charter.
Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Very good job. I know they were busy and it is easy to rush through because you have a lot to do but they took their time and made sure we were good to go before he moved on to the next client. Same with the Check In. They have very good people working for them.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
I chose to go with a little older boat to save some money. It was a well-used boat, but everything worked!! That is all one can ask for, was it perfect, no. But I (and my crew) was very pleased with the Bali 42. Next time, we will consider an upgrade in size and quality. But for our first time, it was great!
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes but, there were older non-stick pans that were a little beat up. I would get rid of the non-stick pans. They are not healthy.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes, we opened the whole back wall (Garage Door) and left it open the entire trip. It was great!
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
For all the stuff going on, I think they did a great job. Clients (at least us) were very stressed out because it was our first time and we were concerned about our travel plans and making sure we were going to catch our flights, so we were not an easy group, but the Charter company were very nice and understanding with us.
Cruising Area

Additional comments about working with the VI Sailing team to plan your vacation?
As this was my first Charter, I wasn't sure of the process or timing of things. I learned a lot in this process and will be better informed next time. You all did a great job in setting expiations and reminding me to get what you needed when you needed it. You were quick to reply to my questions and supported me in every turn. Thank you.
Would you book your next yacht vacation with Virgin Island Sailing®? I will defiantly include you in my search.
