Guest Comments
"Our family couldn't have asked for a more magical way to explore BVI. Rob has a gift for find the perfect spot to moor and we were lucky enough to see so many turtles & tropical fish while enjoying playing in the water. Rob’s love for being a captain is evident in the way he explains each new place, the planning he puts into choosing a location, the ease in which he maneuvers the boat: not to mention the expertise in making delicious cocktail. Ariq’s food was incredible. Each of our family of 6 had a different favorite meal, and all agree that we had the best tiramisu of our lives. Ariq and Rob took such great care of our family and have a wonderful, funny dynamic that added more joy and laughter to such an amazing experience. Thank you both so much!” January 2025 "Best Boat Experience Ever!! The hospitality that we were greeted with was unmatched. Ariq was the best chef, and Rob knows how to make a mean Espresso Martini. I can honestly say the crew made our trip. We all had a great time. The BVI is incredibly beautiful. We are very grateful to have had this experience and share it with this dynamic duo. Not only were they attentive to our every need, but both Rob and Ariq bring a lot of personality. It wouldn’t have been the same without them. Ask Ariq for the Caprese and the mango BBQ. They’re amazing. And make sure to ask Rob for his life story. Would love to come back." January 2025 "Best Christmas Ever!!! This trip was amazing! Our family enjoyed every day. We made so many wonderful memories we will always treasure. We decided that Peter Island was our favorite stop, the snorkeling was the best! So many fish and even a spotted eagle ray. We loved going to Willy T's and jumping off the boat. We also loved Tipsy’s. Such a great bar with good drinks, great music, and the owners were so kind. Our captain, Rob, was so good and took great care of us. Our chef, Ariq, made so many delicious meals for us! 5 stars on everything he made. We cannot thank Rob and Ariq enough for such a wonderful week of fun and adventure—truly a unique trip. We hope to do it again in the future!" December 2024 "I don’t really know where to start, but I will say that I’m 100% “touched” by the way Rob and Josh took care of us the entire trip. They truly have the “heart of a servant” and made our trip one that we will never forget! All of the Creclon family — Celia, Adam, Katie, Gabe, Natascha, Adlai, Kyla, James, Peter, Lucas, & Sevilla — truly, and from the bottom of our hearts, thank Rob (aka Chad) & Josh (aka Jordan) for making this past week an experience we will never forget!" November 2024 "Our family had a great time! We enjoyed the Virgin Islands and all the beautiful beaches and places we visited. Rob & Aria were very nice and helped with everything. The food was delicious. Aria is a pro! They made special accommodations for someone with dietary restrictions and that was very nice. It was our first charter experience and we will do it again in the future. Thank you!" July 2024 "Wow- what a voyage!! Super proud to be the fourth charter. Trip of a lifetime! Thank you gentlemen for helping capture everything the BVI has to offer. You left no stone unturned. Those fabulous smiles made everyday magical." July 2024 "From the Merello family, Our sincerest thank you to Rob and Aria for making this week memorable. Ariq's food was definitely one of the highlights from delicious steak that reminded us of home, to delicious snapper, kebabs, tacos, salmon, and more. We finished each meal with a delicious dessert, a full stomach, and a happy heart. Rob always managed to pick the best parking spots and showed us the magic of BVI. Peter Island little harbor was one of the highlights, where we got to swim with turtles. Thank you both for making us feel at home and treating us so well, we don't want to of home." June 2024 "Hands Down! The two most talented extraordinary, magnificent crew ever - Captain Rob + Chef Aria! One week of sailing, exploring, and eating amazing food has built memories, opened hearts and minds to possibilities. It also deepened relationships with family, including crew.As we laughed, played, relaxed, Captain Rob and Chef Aria shared their stories, their talents, and their wisdom!
