Boatbookings Yacht Reviews

I’m so pleased to say that our time on RIPPLE (formerly known as CALLISTA) was fantastic, in no small part because of our great crew. Captain Roland, Chef Vanessa and Mate/Steward Maxime were professional in attending to their duties and went above and beyond to engage our party - they shared information, provided helpful advice, coordinated required COVID testing on our behalf and took the time make an onboard birthday a really special event. We appreciated the crew’s efforts to make our time aboard enjoyable, and can’t thank Vanessa enough for her tasty meals which thoughtfully addressed individual needs - the meals were awesome, plainly put. Without question, all in our party would be over the moon to travel with this crew again. We found RIPPLE (old Callista) beautiful, very comfortable, well kitted out and clearly well maintained - we turned heads everywhere we went. Thanks go to Vanessa/Roland for information provided in advance of our arrival onboard and our pre-trip call. We avoided a ton of over-packing, packed appropriately and were better prepared for our stay. Everyone had a great time. Great organisation and planning from Boatbookings side, as well as their insights into the best catamaran to go with. Highly recommend the professional team! -- Read more --

The best BVI crew ever! You are all amazing and have made our trip the best by far. -- Read more --

We are writing this at anchor on Cooper Island in the setting sun... with a painkiller in (each) hand. And we have never been happier! The perfect end to the prefect day and the perfect week! You have been the greatest hosts for our family BVI adventure and we can not thank you enough. From brilliant itinerary to expert local knowledge, phenomenal food to amazing cocktails, we have been truly spoilt! It has been a treat to share LE REVE with you - she truly is a dream! Boatbookings were recommended to me by a friend, and they have been diligent during the pandemic to reschedule our booking and look after us with professionalism and attention. -- Read more --

The Sea Dog was beautiful. Clean, spacious, obviously well cared for and maintained. Each of the bedrooms was beautifully appointed and spacious, as were the attached bathrooms. For those who might ask, they provide some amazing shampoo, conditioner and body wash and have great water pressure! Loads of both view and opening windows in the bedrooms and bathrooms - tons of light and a view! There are two areas to dine...we stayed at the big outside table in the fresh air...beautiful! I love the sugar scoops and platform that lowered at the back! A great place for one of my most favorite activities...feet in water watching fish! Plenty of room in the front to sit while we sailed....or join Keagan and Olivia (they re nearby) on the large fly bridge - so amazing! Loads of room to walk through or around front to back or back to front. Handholds available to ensure safety. Places to hang things to dry. Keagan and Olivia were a great crew! Very patient with all of us as - we move slower these days than we did when we were their age! They made us always feel welcome and cared for...felt like friends sharing stories and laughs! Olivia is an amazing cook with very artistic presentation. She seamlessly took into account my no fish; - always making it seem easy to make something for me while the others had fish. Plenty of snacks - magnificent ones Olivia prepared as well as prepackaged for hikes/beach events. Very well organised by Boatbookings, highly recommend that team. -- Read more --

Dirk and Sandy - thank you! Thank you for reading our story and requests and following up with a week long super relaxed trip. Le Reve is a fabulous CAT that you keep impeccable and has everything and more than you can expect. The itinerary was perfect around the USVI. The scuba diving was superb. We got to see lots of species but swimming with the turtles, rays, sharks and catching the huge lobster was special! Last but not least, Sandy`s cooking comes with the taste, creativity and variety to make us happy every day! Excellent recommendation from Boatbookings - they are professional and invested in their clients. -- Read more --

Le Reve, Dirk and Sandy were all great. We really enjoyed that everything was very relaxed the way we wanted, we did lots of great scuba diving (lobsters, octopus, sharks, squid …) plus lots of snorkeling and a day of kite surfing. Sandy’s cooking was superb. Taste, presentation, choices, … everything was very good. Thank you Boatbookings for great preparation and recommendations. -- Read more --

We had a fantastic trip all around. The crew were very professional and did a phenomenal job making us feel at home and comfortable while on board. They also knew they perfect places to visit. Favorite island - probably Anegada and best day Christmas at Jost Van Dyke and Soggy Dollar Bar. Also, the food Ritchie cooked was spectacular - especially considering 2 of us live in London and NYC - so the bar was quite high. Thanks, Boatbookings so much for arranging our Christmas vacation. We shall be back! -- Read more --
