JEWEL (67) | 2023

Emil, Sophie & Antigua,

At almost 69, I can truly state that I have never been so well taken care of and made to feel so special every moment of this trip. Emil’s knowledge, confidence and his energy was so genuine. Sophie’s food was exceptional and that isn’t really giving the proper context. If Sophie had a restaurant near me, I would not only eat there every week, but I would plead to be an investor. Antigua is an energy that ties it all together, anticipating your every need and so full of joy. Truly an experience unlike any I have ever experienced. Thank you for memories that I will hold dear for the rest of my life.

Best captain ever - from the moment we stepped onboard Bibo made the whole trip feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely special. He’s calm and confident at sea, but also fun and easy to be around.

The food on board exceeded all expectations. Every meal was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly tailored to our preferences. Gabriela truly elevated the entire charter experience.

We’ll remember this adventure for a long time and hope to sail with them again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. From the very start, he was incredibly kind,
knowledgeable, and reliable, which made the whole trip feel effortless and relaxed. He took us to the most beautiful spots and always knew exactly where to go, whether we were in the mood for a lively spot, a chilled evening, or an unforgettable meal at the best local places.

Gabiela brought such a positive, calming energy on board. Meals were thoughtful and beautifully prepared, and it was clear how much care went into making everyone feel comfortable and happy.

They were extremely accommodating and great fun to be around. The entire experience was unforgettable and truly the best time ever. I’d sail with them again in a heartbeat

Bibo was awesome, and honestly he was so good with the kids. Like… unlimited patience. They asked a million questions, wanted to “help” with everything, and he just rolled with it while showing them new games and keeping it fun for the whole week. Super calm, super caring, and somehow he still kept everything running smoothly. The kids were obsessed (in a good way)

Gabriela's ability to deliver high-end cuisine in a sailing environment was impressive. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and enhanced our time on the yacht.”

Bibo, the coolest and greatest captain out there, we are so lucky to have received you as our captain! You made our sailing trip an unforgettable experience. So calmly and professionally navigating us through the islands, accommodating our bizarre requests, teaching Baruch to tie rope knots. Yet, you knew when to politely say ‘no’ to us when ideas were too ridiculous. Safety first… We hope and we’re sure you’ll become the captain of a great ship!

Not only was the food exceptional, but the care and attention behind every meal made us feel truly looked after. Gabirela was always attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in our experience.

THANK you!!

I’m so thankful for having such an amazing crew!
Everything we did was amazing. I loved the Pina Coladas Damon made, and when Jage went snorkeling with me!
And also Maddie’s awesome food.
I can’t wait for us to have another trip together.
Love y’all!

I’m so thankful for such a wonderful crew! I wouldn’t trade this week of fun and laughs for anything. I will always remember Jage’s jokes, Maddie’s food, and Damon’s “specialties”. Thank you so much!

Guys, I honestly don’t even know where to begin.
Jage… although you made me swallow 30 pounds of salt water in the ocean, watching you get bonked with the football was such a highlight. You really are awesome, so hardworking, and just caring. Thank you for keeping us safe and happy. I will miss you.

Maddy your food was absolutely amazing. You are so unique, beautiful, and comforting. You made me feel so loved and I couldn’t thank you enough.

Now Damon: you have no idea how much you have impacted my life. From making us survive wakeboarding, flips, duck swimming, diving, and so much more… you really mean so much to me. Thank you for everything. I am going to miss you tremendously. Stay in touch and don’t forget about me! I love all of you so much.

Can’t explain how much more blessed to meet you guys.
💙💙💙

This trip was the best ever!
Not one complaint about this crew — best chef Maddie, best captain Jage, & best mate Damon. Food was perfect, so were activities, parties, and all other accommodations. We have made this crew part of our family. Love y’all & thank y’all!

"We are back. What a week. The boat was great, so comfortable with plenty of common and personal space.

I can’t really say enough about the crew. Father/ son combination of Jage and Damon ran the boat beautifully, were tons of fun, and accommodated anything we needed or wanted. They are the perfect combination of competence, safety, and fun.

Olivia is a total pro and incredibly talented. Catherine said she had never eaten that well for an entire week…ever. The food was incredibly delicious, healthy, and beautifully prepared.

I can’t really imagine beating this one, but we’ll certainly let you try. We’re trying to decide if we’re an every year or every other year BVI family "
