After talking about a sailing charter vacation for several years, our family finally decided it was time to make it happen.
Like many people planning their first charter, we spent a lot of time comparing boats. The reality is that many yachts are beautiful, well maintained, and visit many of the same destinations. What ultimately convinced us was Captain Kendall and Kari. Based on everything we read, we felt the crew would be the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one. We were absolutely right.
Captain Kendall's sailing knowledge, boating expertise, and familiarity with the islands were impressive. He knew exactly where to go, when to go, and how to maximize our experience. He willingly shared his knowledge, making the trip educational as well as enjoyable.
Kari was equally amazing. Every meal felt like something you would expect at a high-end restaurant, yet served in the relaxed atmosphere of our private yacht. Beyond her culinary skills, she had a remarkable ability to anticipate our needs while allowing us to relax as a family.
What made the trip truly memorable was how comfortable and welcome Kendall and Kari made us feel. By the end of the week, it felt less like we had hired a captain and chef and more like we had spent time with friends who happened to know the islands better than anyone else.
If you are considering a charter vacation, pay as much attention to the crew as you do the yacht itself. The yacht was beautiful, but Captain Kendall and Kari are what made the experience exceptional. They exceeded every expectation we had and made our first charter trip one we will never forget.

Celebrating my 50th birthday aboard a private yacht was truly an unforgettable experience.
Captain Kendall made us feel completely at ease, and Chef Kari delivered meals that were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The crew went above and beyond to make this milestone celebration feel special, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask.
The yacht was immaculate, luxurious, and incredibly comfortable—the perfect setting for such a meaningful celebration.
This was more than just a trip—it was a once-in-a-lifetime celebration we will always cherish.

“When we booked our private yacht charter, we were checking off an important item on our bucket list: taking our family on a private charter. What we didn't expect was that each of us would experience the trip of a lifetime.”
Kendall put together an itinerary filled with amazing snorkeling, coves perfect for paddleboarding, delicious restaurant recommendations, and a full day of exciting sailing. His knowledge of the local waters made every day feel special.
Kari fed us like kings and queens with meals that rivaled four-star restaurants. We always felt welcome and pampered, and the special birthday dinner and dessert made Sasha's 21st "the best birthday ever!"
We loved the yacht—its beauty, thoughtful layout, décor, and immaculate condition made it both luxurious and incredibly comfortable.
Most of all, we loved getting to know the two of them. This was a magical family vacation, and their company and thoughtfulness made it all possible.

“When we booked our first private yacht charter, here's what we learned: It's all about the crew!“
From the moment we met Chef Kari, with her warm and infectious smile, and Captain Kendall, who immediately made us feel welcome, we knew we were in excellent hands.
This incredible team has a chemistry that is hard to find. They naturally create a positive, fun, and authentic atmosphere that makes you never want the trip to end. From start to finish, we felt at home.
They took incredible care of us throughout the trip. Everything we wanted to do was thoughtfully planned. When we went snorkeling, Kari and Kendall joined us, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while still having an amazing time. They even provided pirate hats and fun accessories to make our visit to Willy T's extra memorable.
Captain Kendall was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun while always maintaining a strong focus on safety. He knew the best places for beaches, snorkeling, sunsets, and hidden gems. The food and unique rum drinks were absolutely delicious.
If you're looking for a charter crew that anticipates your needs, checks in often, makes fantastic drinks and meals, and is ready to make your trip remarkable, I highly recommend Kari and Kendall. An unforgettable experience. We can't wait to do it again!
