This was one of the best trips I've ever experienced.
Living on a boat for a week was life changing and so much fun.
Ryan, Coti and Danielle were great.
Danielle's cooking was amazing.
Coti always took care of us with whatever we needed, and Ryan was an amazing Captain and I never felt worried. I wish I could stay longer! I'm so happy I got to experience This Trip, and I hope I can experience it again soon!

Thanksgiving week November 2023 BVI

Captain Ryan, Coti, Kenetha,
I can't believe our five days together have come to an end. I think it's unfair to try to put 120 hours together on one page but here goes:
I had no idea what would lie ahead I've done cruises, gone fishing, but never sailed in this way. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making this journey unforgettable and something to look forward to in the future. I had to overcome a lot of fears during this journey, but you three never judged me, made me feel comfortable, and cheered me on along the way. I said it already but I'll say it again, "the world needs more people like you" 😀 Until next time my friends - MG

Hey Ryan, Kenetha and Constanza (Coti)! You all have made this an amazing first sailing experience, and an amazing first trip to the BVI. Thank you all so much for your hospitality and for your kind dispositions!
Wishing you all the absolute best in all of your endeavors, whether they take you back on land or leave you riding the waves!
Jalyn R. ❤ 🤍

Captain Ryan, Chef Kenetha & Constanza (Coti)! The Dream Team!
I cannot thank you all enough.
Bringing journalists to the BVI is always a tad bit nerve-racking. I have so much hope that this incredible place will resonate with others the way it has me. Sailing with Nomada at Sea has guaranteed that and more on this unforgettable trip.
From splashing new water toys to chic interiors onboard - every part of sailing on Nomada has been dreamy.
The crew's stories, island knowledge, and kindness is truly unmatched. And I'll be craving Kenetha's cooking for the rest of my days! Hope to sail with you again.
Alexis W.

Ryan, Kenetha and Constanza,
Thank you for an unforgettable week in BVI! Your kindness, hospitality, positivity, and joy have made this the sailing trip of a lifetime. Thank you for sharing it with us. Wishing you all the very best and hope we meet again in BVI one day!
❤ 🤍 Grace H.

Ryan, Kenetha, Constanza,
Thank you so much for everything! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had you all as our crew. You made a work trip - and my first trip to BVI - absolutely unforgettable.
Your hospitality, generosity, kindness exceeded every standard at every turn. I truly feel like I'm leaving this week with so many new friends. No charter will ever match the experience you all provided us on Nomada, and I'm glad we were all here for your first charter together as a crew and Constanza's first painkiller 😀
Best of luck on the next adventures, cook book & engagement included.
Do keep in touch, see you again soon. ❤ 🤍
Cate H.

Ryan and Danielle

I had an amazing time on this trip and loved getting in the water way more than last time!
You all have made this a way better experience/trip. Thank you, Glen, for your outstanding cooking. Thank you, Dani, for taking me snorkeling, making me like the ocean, and finally thank you Thomas for teaching me how to whip someone with a towel. I had a blast playing murder. I hope to see you all sometime next year!
Sincerely Rosemary Moore.

Dani, Glen and Thomas,
We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful trip. You made our first trip to BVI unforgettable, and we can’t wait to come back. The food was incredible, the spots you took us too were awesome and the sunsets were magical. We loved looking for turtles with Dani as well. Thanks again!!

P.S come visit anytime!!

Dani, Glen and Tom,
Thank you all for making this a great trip. Glen thank you for making food I like and keeping me company in the saloon. Tom, thank you for taking me tubing and keeping the boat working. I also appreciate you staying in calm waters and picking great locations. Dani, thank you for being so kind and sweet to me. I loved when you took us on the paddle board and played uno with us. Thank you for killing the bugs in my room and talking to me the whole day, you were very funny and nice. Dani, Glen and Tom I am watching y’all fight with towels. Thank you again!
From Susannah Moore
P.S Dani is my favorite I’ll miss her the most.

Dear Tom, Glen and Dani,
I’ve taken a lot of trips and this one was one of the most memorable. You guys are great and do a wonderful job at interacting with us and making us feel comfortable and welcome on the boat. Glen, as I mentioned, it will be difficult to return to Dallas and eat my own cooking.
Thanks again for everything.

Tom, Glen and Dani, words cannot express what a wonderful time I had on Nomada! The three of you are the perfect compliment to each other. You anticipated all our needs before we knew we had them. Thank you for making this week such a memorable time.

Tom, Glen, Dani
Thank you for an amazing week in the BVII have always wanted to sail around BVI and so for my 60th I finally did with my best friends. I wasn't sure if it could live up to my expectations but it exceeded and that is because of you. Each of you are so professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. I have made memories that will last forever and you are all such an important part of those. This was the most POES LEKKER trip ever. Especially SQUEAKING ON THE TAKKIE. Thanks for being amazing gracious hosts. I'm already looking forward to another trip with y'all baby girl.

AFTER CHARTER FOLLOW UP BY BROKER: Rated 5/5 by clients

We were wowed every single day. We woke up each morning wondering what fabulous thing we would experience that day because we were so spoiled by this team. Hands down, the BEST vacation I've ever had (and I've had quite a few)!

The yacht was very comfortable. Bathrooms larger than expected, the linens were so high end and even smelled great. We had plenty of room for lounging, eating, whatever. The large space on the flybridge was very popular with our group. Our cabins were always cool and comfortable with the individual air conditioning controls and the showers were as hot as you'd like with plenty of water. We really appreciated the electric heads too! Easy to swim or get on water toys from the stern, loved the swim platform. Many places to lounge in the sun.

Our captain Tom was very knowledgeable about the best places to not only visit but which would be best for anchoring, snorkeling, beaching, hiking, you name it. He even picked places based on weather, crowds, day of week. Tom was also friendly and easy to talk to, flexible and always checking to see if we were happy and comfortable.
Bron was a wonderful, incredible chef! We did have 2 meals off the boat but frankly they were not nearly as good as Bron's creations. She even learned that 2 of us had milestone birthdays this year and that I was obsessed with pirates which culminated in a 3 dimensional pirate ship birthday cake on our last night!! Amazing. Glen was our 3rd crew member and was a true mixologist (different custom cocktail daily), a local area historian (we heard about each island as we sailed by), and a mind reader. He seemed to know what we needed and when practically before we knew ourselves. Glen's wine pairings were perfect and he was super fun too! The whole crew was fantastic!

April 2023

Amazing trip, amazing boat and amazing crew. Exceeded our expectations by a long, long way. Until next time. Thank you.
- Liza S.

5 amazing days! The crew did an incredible job and the food was first class! This is the only way to travel in this part of the world!
Thank you.
- Neil S.

By far the best week of my life! Thank you Glen, Thomas and Bronwyn for everything! Love always, Eleese ❤️

"Thank you for keeping my family safe…

These days we savor the moments with our kids. This trip made it a week instead of a moment. You all were wonderful and made us feel so welcome.

The stories, history, coffee, cocktails, food, games (shut the box) and kinship will not be forgotten. Safe journeys and much love.
• David

Good memories are created with experiences, great memories are created when you share them with special people. Thank you Thomas, Bron & Glen.
• Love Carrie

Thank you everyone so much! Everything was so great from the food to the laughs. The crew supplied an amazing time with some amazing experiences. Thank you.
• Joseph

Thank you for everything! Great 5 days, and I am so sad it’s over! Best crew ever. Thanks for listening to my boy problems.
• Charlie

Thank you guys for everything! You all are so fun to be around. This trip was a blast. Do not want to go home. Thank you for all the fun stories and yummy food! Going to miss this!
• Sam

Loved the positivity and hospitality from the crew! I really enjoyed this trip and all the new experiences.

March 2023

We had an excellent trip. The Nomada catamaran was very nice and comfortable, the best part was the crew. The crew was attentive and aimed to please, always available for helping with anything or doing, making, fetching anything but not intrusive. They were excellent in reading our family of five and adjusted their formality to suit our more laid back style for this trip with the three teenagers. The food and drinks were delicious and carefully catered to our varying tastes. The diving was great, being able to literally get dropped into the ocean on top of a shipwreck with our captain as the dive guide was incredibly spoiling. Tom, the captain, was particularly patient with our son who is an eager and brave diver, keeping him safe and with the group. The crew made the trip for us all.
We miss them already!

Travel gives you more colors on you palate when you paint the picture of your light.

N- Never a bad day or bad meal
O- Over the top
M- Magnificent
A- Americans in awe
D- Delightful crew
A- Always friends

This experience checked every box we could have imagined. Tom,B and Glen, you are forever woven into the fabric of your lives. We can’t begin to express our gratitude for sharing your generous spirit with us on this amazing trip.

Every meal was not only delicious but wow, each was a work of art from chef B, Glens micsology skills never failed to amaze and inspire us in his knowledge of the culture and history of these island are truly remarkable. What will we do without these two when we get home.

Captain Tom- you trips too Jenga and wake boarding were perfect, your description of the hike was a little understated.

While we didn’t get to the bubbly pool it gives us a reason to come back. We love being part of the competition “ we are the champion my friends”

Tom, you are shining example of what needs to be a professional living out his wildest dreams and we wish you nothing but more fantastic and surfing adventures on the seas.

We hope you come visit us in Annapolis if you come to he US our hearts are full.

Am I lost at sea or maybe the sea is lost in me. My soul has been shaken or maybe awakened by the solitude and grace that awaits beneath the surface. I once had a great fear of the unknown that rested the wonder and silence with each wave breath.
Tom, B and Glen- words are inadequate to express the depths of this gratitude for this experience. I thank the powers that be, which guided our paths to collide. Happy sailing till we meet again.
With gratitude Kristin P.

There are big ships. There are small ships. There are ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships and may they always be.
We have made 3 new friends that made our week on Nomada - Tom, B, Glem - these friendships will always be.
Thanks is too small a word.
Xoxo Lynda.

There are so many positive things that can be said both about the crew and the boat but nothing would do justice. The way Tom, B and Glen worked together was a thing of beauty. The way they all connected with each member of our family was rare, unique and truly genuine. We feel blessed to have spent this time together as a family on such an amazing vessel. We feel even more fortunate to be leaving this trip with 3 new family members. Thank you guys for making this a true trip of a lifetime.
Thanks Brian.

Growing up in this family I’ve learned to appreciate anything that is donor me- big or small. I'm forever grateful for how special you all made this trip. It helped remind me so much of simple pleasures. Fresh clean sheets. A refreshing drink on a hot day, a rainy day on the ocean or a cup of coffee in the morning, From all the unbelievable flood to the laughter this trip brought- so wholesome.
Thank you Glen, B, Tom.

Just wanted to let you know that we all had an awesome trip on NOMADA. The boat was in great condition and the crew were fantastic. The three of them worked well together, not having to tell each other what to do. All was automatic and seamless. We had them spend the day with us at Scrub and Soggy and they really appreciated that and had a great time.

December 2022

Amazing trip! Definitely one of the top trips we have taken as a family. Crew and yacht were awesome! 5 STARS!
