Most relaxing vacaion ever; great service
The host made the charter process straightforward by providing clear, accurate information, listening to our wants, and making helpful recommendations, which were right on point
for our group.
The crew were a great team. Up on deck ("driving", managing and maintaining the boat, keeping it spotlessly clean, planning the itinerary etc.), Adam is the skilled captain, and Emily is his very capable first mate. In the galley and below deck, Emily is the skilled "captain" (chef, entertainment and cruise director, head of housekeeping, etc.), while Adam is her very capable "first mate" (sous chef, dishwasher, scullery maid, etc.). Their teamwork is seamless, and they make it all seem effortless, although we saw the long hours they put in making sure that our needs and wants were satisfied. They're both friendly, approachable, interactive and just fun to talk with and be around. But they also gave us plenty of "space" and time for ourselves on the boat, on shore and in the water. Adam made sure that the itinerary included great sites to visit as well as requested activities: snorkeling, paddle boarding, sightseeing in somewhat "off the beaten path" locations, fishing, sailing, shore excursions, etc. He also immediately addressed some boat maintenance/repair issues that cropped up. Emily's creations as chef and bartender were amazing: we were treated to three fine-restaurant style meals plus afternoon hors d'oeuvres each day, various standard cocktails plus her own creations based on what we said we like. The presentation was always lovely, and she used special cooking techniques like sous vide, air-frying, grilling etc. Adam was always handing us a beer, wine, soda or water, right before we even realized we were thirsty, like magic. We really felt pampered and taken care of; didn't need to lift a finger if we didn't want to, but were also welcome to help out with whatever we were interested in. Great attitudes in this regard from both Adam and Emily; they are very skilled in the art of hospitality customer service! The boat was great as well: comfortable, spacious, beautiful, and stable underway and moored. We loved the different lounging areas (salon, cockpit, "bikini lounge" on top of the cockpit bimini, foredeck, trampoline) that provided plenty of space for all.
