I've been visiting the BVIs periodically since 1999 (at least 10 times). Some of the visits have been in our boat, others in bareboat charters. This was the first time we went for a crewed charter. The decision was made in part because not all in the group had sailing / boating experience and mostly because we wanted to rest and not worry about logistics, provisioning, cooking, reserving moorings, etc. The result...best vacation ever in the BVIs. Perfect combination between a great group of friends, very nice boat, great weather and above all, a superb crew. Annick and Mente made our trip truly memorable. In the food department, every day we woke up to experience a new height in delightful meals, fruit, snacks, desserts, etc. They made sure our favorite drinks were available throughout the week + we got to try some of Annicks and Mente's delightful concoctions. On the cruising department, we felt very safe throughout the trip, testament to the crew's experience, judgement calls and professionalism. They got us to popular sites at times when these were not crowded and got us to less visited yet beautiful sites at peak times. They also kept the boat clean and in excellent working order. This is as far as I can go with words. Go ahead and book your trip. Life is short, enjoy!
