Really fantastic experience on Halcyon!

Posted on April 14, 2026
As you know, the crew can make or break this sort of thing.   Sam is an exceptional human, a fantastic Captain, and passionate about what he does.  Really enjoyed spending time with him.  Lu is super fun, chill and gives the perfect “vibe”.  She was there when we needed something, but not “in our face” – which can happen I imagine.  Truly loved hanging with her.  Might have been some signing and dancing along the way as well 🙂
Boat was in perfect working order.  Clean, comfortable.  We got to sail a bunch, which was super cool.  I can’t think of any issues or challenges at all.   We spent time all over the BVI, so in my opinion the itinerary was perfect as well.   Honestly, the right balance of “action” and “non-action”.  Everyone had a blast.
Food.  I personally gained 7 pounds, and upon return home, when learning Lu didn’t make the trip back with us, was disappointed.  I’d have to fend for myself (a good thing given the extra weight).   Lu’s food was fresh, she accommodated (without pause) one of our picky crew AND made a special chocolate chip birthday cookie cake for Cella who turned 16 while on the trip.  Again, she represented balance with options and fun twists (like the easter egg hunt and the birthday decorations).
We have ZERO hesitation about Sam or Lu or Halcyon.   They are AWESOME.
Water Taxi was great as well – good folks (Tk and Harris, along with Nick of course).   Shelby (road taxi) is a gem, loved her personality.
