      We hope your charter lived up to your expectations and we are eager to have your evaluation and impressions of your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.

      1. Were the staff at VI Yacht Charters friendly and accommodating?
      The staff was flat out excellent

      2. Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
      Everything worked fine except the dingy. We were sent out with a bad motor on the dinghy but after 3 visits and two day, we ended up with a functioning dingy motor.

      3. Was the yacht’s cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
      The gas oven does not work well at all. Not able to bake cookies or make a Pizza. Everything else worked fine; we could not find the coffee pot for the coffee maker but we made due.

      4. Was the boat well ventilated?
      Yes and the A/c worked great.

      5. Did the staff at VI Yacht Charters do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
      Yes, Melly did our orientation and he covered everything quite well.

      6. Did you like the area you cruised?
      Awesome. This trip we primarily hung out of the north side of St. John. We sailed the Pillsbury as well as the waters on the west side of St. John between St. John and Jost. Awesome all the way around.

      7. Could we at Virgin Island Sailing, Ltd. have helped you further in any way?
      No, the issues with the dinghy were mildly frustrating because we were without a dingy during the first two days but Walter & Melly took care of it as quickly as they could and we are impressed with their professionalism and very caring attitudes. It would have been better to send us out with a good dinghy motor to start with but I gave you guys no time at all to go through everything and I am not at all disappointed, not at all.

      8. May we post this review on our website?
      Yes

      9. Additional comments on your charter?
      In every way, from my first interactions with Joann to the last moment when we left the boat, the staff there was excellent. The equipment (excepting the first dinghy motor and then the prop on the second dinghy motor) was also excellent and The trip was smooth, relaxing and all around a terrific memory maker.
