Our Family Had the Greatest Time on Starry Night

Crew- Janey and Murray were awesome. Our family likes a combination of privacy while also getting to know crews as well. Janey and Murray were both perfect at this. They were always professional but also fun and did little things that made us feel like we were getting to know each other well. Our kids felt comfortable which can be hard for our twin girls to feel comfortable with strangers and yet both had nothing but great things to say about Murray (fun) and Janey (cool younger female adult that they connected to). Our entire family raved about the food and enjoyed every meal much more than we anticipated. Our kids can be slightly picky and Janey accommodated everything and they were exposed to new foods that they now are requesting at home (poke bowls, eggs benedict, couscous, etc.) . Murray was a great help during the meals but they also allowed us to have our private time during meals which was important to us. Overall, food was one of the highlights of the trip and would highly recommend Janey. Murray was an excellent captain who went out of his way to accommodate our wants and ensure we were comfortable. He took us to places we had never been before like the Little Harbor, Indians, Great harbor and Foxy’s and cliff jumping at Lee Bay while also making sure we hit out favorites like  Saba, Willy T’s, Sandy Caye, Fallen Jeruselum and White Bay. He amended his itinerary to accommodate us and always anchored in places that minimized any chance of seasickness. He was also a blast and made sure we had enough adventure. He took us on hikes, cliff jumping, we did water sports on Little Harbor, etc. and then became bar tender at lunch and dinner with new cocktails while ensuring my daughters had virgin versions so that they felt included. Overall, the crew was a 10:10 including little touches that made us feel special like decorating to celebrate my son’s graduation.

The Boat- Starry Night was the perfect size for the family and accommodations were better than we thought. I felt Murray and Janey both made the boat as optimal as possible including making the rooms up every morning and always making the toys available wherever we stopped. The only downside was that the water maker was broken which forced us into extra stops. However, Murray chose great stops that we had wanted to go to anyway (Peter Island, etc.) so minimal impact due to Murray. However, it was something that we were consistently thinking about and minimizing our shower time, etc. The only other item would be having AC earlier in the day but I would view this as something we could have mentioned to Murray and he would have easily turned it on earlier to accommodate us. Overall the boat was good and better than expected but glad we didn’t go with anything smaller or cheaper and would want to ensure the water maker was functioning next time on a charter.

I cannot say enough good things about the crew and their ability to balance our desire for privacy coupled with feeling like we gained new friends. The best thing I can say is that we will never forget this trip or our crew and will always have amazing memories that we will continue to cherish.
