Nick and Amy on Altesse are above all others. Their attention to detail truly set them apart from any previous experiences we’ve had. And we have been on 4 other similar charters around the world. Every meal was not just a meal; it was an event, with beautifully presented dishes that were bursting with flavor. They sourced fresh local ingredients, making each meal a delightful journey through many different cuisines. Every table was set with cloth napkins with wonderful napkin rings and place mats and beautiful table scapes
The activities were equally well-planned. Each day brought new adventures, from diving with underwater wrecks to the beautiful under water wild life Nick and Amy excelled at tailoring activities to suit our diverse age range, ensuring that everyone, from our youngest grandchild to our oldest family member, had a memorable experience. The guided explorations were informative and fun, and the kids couldn’t get enough of the water sports, which were expertly managed and supervised.
We were treated to stunning views, delicious cocktails, and a serene atmosphere that allowed us to reflect on the cherished memories we were creating as a family. It was a perfect way to wind down after a day filled with excitement.
Communication was seamless throughout the trip, and Nick and Amy were always ready to accommodate any last-minute requests or changes. Not that we changed much as everything was well planned to always having transportation to the best places to the best new years spot in the BVI’s Their warm personalities made everyone feel at home, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about making our family vacation unforgettable. They listened to our likes and never missed an opportunity to supply. Right down to the music playing right when you wanted it. They Coordinated everything with another boat which had 8 of our other family members beautifully. No small task with such a large group and another boat captain. They Prepared appetizers, inviting the other boat over many times even making a special meal for the adults While ensuring the kids had a great time on shore.
In summary, our time aboard Altesse with Nick and Amy was nothing short of extraordinary. Their passion for hospitality, combined with their expertise in creating memorable experiences, made this trip the best family vacation we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to plan our next adventure with them and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch charter experience.

Our family had a wonderful aboard Azuria, Luke and Kristen are great. Her food was AMAZING and I’m pretty sure I gained 10 lbs. My kids really enjoyed every place that we went. The yacht was very spacious and immaculate! Luke was very patient with my youngest who had some fears of snorkeling, but Luke found some plenty of other things for him to do. This was a vacation of a lifetime!

We spent Thanksgiving week aboard Iara with Paul and Lexy, and it was an absolute dream come true! The boat is pristine and has all the comforts of home. Lexy whipped up incredible gourmet meals all week, and Paul is such a patient, kind human. We traveled with our daughters (14 and 9) so Paul and Lexy planned our adventures with the entire family in mind – and they’re amazing with kids! They were so accommodating and flexible whether it was our itinerary, food selections, or showing us how to e-foil. The Iara has a great selection of toys, and we loved playing every day while seeing all the beautiful sights around the BVIs. This vacation was the perfect mix of relaxing and adventure!

JD – You are a service shark and cocktail master! The way you make coffee is a thing of beauty. Lida- THE FOOD! You have ruined our favorite restaurants with your culinary skills. Chris- You managed our juvenile behavior and alcoholism (LOL) with more grace and hospitality than we deserve. BEST TRIP EVER!
We could not have had a more amazing trip! Your hospitality, wildly delicious meals, and itinerary you picked out for us were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for everything, it was PERFECT! Can’t wait to do this again.

We just got back from a Bucket List trip for my 70th Birthday Celebration aboard Angeleyes in the BVIs. My husband and I and eight of our closest friends enjoyed a week of yacht life. Kevin Jonas from Mainsail was super responsive in helping us plan a trip we will always remember. We were then left in the capable hands of the Angeleyes crew of Captain Darrell, Chef Jenn, and First Mates Jenni and Chris. Every meal was presented with phenomenal table decorations, and the culinary experience was second to none. Each day, we were given options on what we would like to explore in BVI, and we enjoyed each unique experience that was suggested. The week exceeded ours and our guests’ expectations. We would highly recommend Mainsail Yachts and especially the Angeleyes crew for the trip of a lifetime!

It was AMAZING. We ALL had a total blast. Heiko, Rebecca, and Maia were simply the best. Maia’s food was great, and she really was the perfect chef for us. Lots of seafood and veggies. All delicious! Plus, Maia is adorable and always cheerful. Heiko is a superlative captain – so steady and uber-responsible. He also was a great tour guide in general. His love for snorkeling and everything in the sea was contagious, and he took us to many out of the way snorkeling spots. I think my youngest grandson (10) wants to be just like Heiko when he grows up. 😂. Heiko really planned the perfect itinerary for our family. I feel like the activities, sailing, etc. were perfectly paced for all. Rebecca is an amazing woman. Just so terrific, kind, and interesting. She took such good care of us every single day. Both Heiko and she always made sure Ed (89) felt safe, particularly getting on and off the dinghy. We kayaked, snorkeled, paddle-boarded, tubed, and in general spent a ton of time in the water. The boat was very comfortable, including the beds. The weather was terrific. The food was delicious. The crew was A+. The trip exceeded my expectations, and they were very high to begin with. It was a great family celebration, and we will always remember it as a very special and fun adventure. Though Ed didn’t do the water activities, he also really loved the trip. Thanks for your help in planning a terrific vacation.
