Hardwick family aboard Majestic Spirit

Captain Dave + Desiree

Thank you soooo much for such a fantastic week on Majestic Spirit!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the BVI’s and we know it wouldn’t have been as fun + special if we hadn’t lucked out to choose your yacht!
The food was absolutely 5-Star all-the-way (Thank you Des!) and we are from Chicago – so we know GOOD food!! 🙂
The scuba and snorkeling were so much fun for Craig + Brock + Meredith. Dave’s scuba skills / instruction + finding awesome scuba spots was bar none! Brock will never forget seeing the rare found Nurse Shark on his last dive of the trip with you Dave! Definitely a highlight.
We really want to thank you not only for a wonderful trip, but for going out of your way to go above + beyond each + every day (especially when you had to drive the boat all night long to get us to a hospital!) You guys are the BEST!!
Till next time

Freitag Family aboard Paradise

It’s hard to believe it’s been only one week since we were enjoying the clear blue waters of the BVI aboard your wonderful yacht !!
Our sea-legs may have righted, our tans may have faded, but our wonderful memories will last a lifetime.  We cannot thank you enough for hosting what will surely go down as one of our most cherished family experiences of all time !!
As you can imagine, booking our first trip to the BVI’s was stressful and confusing, not knowing much about anything, and we ultimately trusted the recommendations of Kevin from Mainsail Charters.  He reiterated that Bernie and Ruth are the best, that you two know how to make the trip work for families, and that in his many years booking trips, no-one has ever had anything but wonderful things to say about their charters aboard Paradise.
Fair enough, but what he didn’t explain was how wonderfully accommodating, generous and outright charming you two are.  You treated us not only to a charter, but you welcomed us into your home, you guided us through a breathtaking natural landscape, and you pampered us with delicious food and entertaining conversation.
Heck, any captain and crew that can accommodate two vegetarians, one carnivore and a kid who doesn’t eat anything but candy and cookies, can silently navigate into crowded bays and still find gentile moorings every night,  can treat us to ‘bernie goes nuts’ and ‘ruthie pain killers’ in the same afternoon; can trust two kids with their brand new dinghy, can teach us mah-mah in a single sitting, can lead us to sea-turtles, tarpon, and barracuda within the first hour of arrival, and still help make a coconut-bra just for a deranged 10 year old, well . let’s just say you exceeded all expectations by tenfold (and expectations were pretty darn high coming into it)!
Really, we just wanted to say thank you again for hosting a wonderful trip.  We literally can not imagine experiencing the BVI’s without you both.  Brace yourselves, we’ll be back real soon !!

Savage Family aboard Stargazer

We had a really nice time on Stargazer. Everything exceeded our expectations. I couldn’t imagine a better experience. The crew was really the differentiator, they worked tirelessly and we’re constantly trying to make the trip as nice as possible. It was very difficult to say goodbye to Melissa, Diego and Wes. That says a lot!

Hawkes family aboard Soterion

We loved it!!!! Rachel and Ben were awesome!!!! The only problem is that they were so great we could never book with anyone again but them.  Thanks so much.

Spenser Family aboard Paradise

Hey Kevin, I just wanted to let you know we had such a great time last week aboard Parisdise. The boat is beautiful, the itinerary was just right, swimming and snorkeling were wonderful, the food was so so good, but the thing we loved the most was how welcoming Bernie and Ruthie are. They pretty much open up “their home” to us and made us feel so welcomed. I was worried about this before the trip, 6 days on a small boat could be pretty long if you felt unwelcome. Bernie and Ruthie’s warmth took all those worries away with in the 1st hour. Thank you for recommending Paradise to us, for 1st time Yacht charterers we couldn’t have asked for more and had a better experience.
