Cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful trip! We snorkeled, ate, drank, laughed, and swam to our hearts' content. Besides the perfect weather and gorgeous locations, RJ's knowledge and Jenna's culinary skills really made the trip. All the attention to every detail was so appreciated! We will be back to the BVI... and hopefully we will be with RJ & Jenna!

It is extremely rare in life when you find reality substantially exceeds ones expectations. This was one of those times. Our week was in a word, extraordinary.

February 2022

1. Crew Friendliness:
RJ and Jenna could not have been more hospitable!! They were so gracious to all of us and made sure we were all individually having a great time.

2. Crew Knowledge:
Jenna really knows her stuff in the kitchen for different dietary preferences, and did a great job making delicious and healthy food for all of us.  Her plating and tablescapes were creative and inviting.  RJ knows so much about the industry, the area, the boat, the technology...we really enjoyed our talks while underway, and how he pointed out interesting stuff we would have otherwise missed.  We learned alot, and not just about Pirates' DIce.

3. Quality of Service:
Top Notch.  Everything we asked for, we got, including a swim with a turtle!

4. The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenna and RJ were very professional in what they handled, they worked well together, and they did it in an approachable manner.  They are a stellar team.

5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:
We really appreciate everyone handling the change from the original charter to the Delana Mae.

6. On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding

7. Destination / Location:
USVI are beautiful, and getting to see them from a catamaran makes them more so.

8. Water-Sports:
Great toys to use, especially the Hangout.  It was used quite a bit.

9. Overall Satisfaction:
This vacation will be difficult to top.  May have to repeat.

10. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?
RJ is a champ when it came to photos and videos with his GoPro and the drone.  He created a library for us to share our photos, and having those to look back on will always put smiles on our faces. It is difficult to pick just one.  In general - how attentive and fun RJ and Jenna were. RJ and Jenna know all the fun things to do!  We loved having pizza delivery via dinghy and a great highlight was probably our lunch at Lime Out.  Such a unique experience!
