“Simply Outstanding!!!”
We had the pleasure of chartering Blue Pepper for a week this June for our family of 5 + two teenage friends. The kids ranged from 13-20 years old, 2 girls and 3 boys. In the past we have been lucky enough to go on many yacht trips in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, primarily on boats in the 150’-200’ range.
Our experience on Blue Pepper was exceptional. While Blue Pepper itself is very nice, new, comfortable, nice linens, well equipped with large outdoor seating area, the service is really what set the trip apart. The crew was not only capable and professional but they worked really hard to provide thoughtful and unique experiences. The crew was kind, genuine, fun, service oriented and a true pleasure to be around.
Starting with the chef, Denise, who is a Brazilian energizer bunny with a passion for life. Her culinary skills were amazing and on par if not better than the much larger yachts that we have been on. The flavors, presentation and absolute attention to detail made a huge difference in our trip. She was always catering to the individual tastes of each guest, far beyond what was expected. Also, we really enjoyed hearing her crazy life stories as icing on the cake!
Captain Taylor is a professional who is a truly a boy at heart. He really made it a trip of a lifetime for our kids. He was always coming up with the next thing for them to do, taking them inner tubing, off road atving, fishing, snorkeling, on adventures around an island, etc. Also, I think he was having as much fun as our kids were. He is just a great guy.
Liz the stewardess, is a sweetheart, always quietly there to cater to all of your needs, constantly keeping the boat and cabins in immaculate condition. Never intrusive but always there in the background to ensure the service was great.
In the end it was hard for us to leave as we felt that Denise, Taylor and Liz were part of our family. I highly recommend them for your next charter experience.
The crew on Blue Pepper was outstanding. The crew and the boat were perfect for this trip (in May time) and we couldn’t be happier. As you know, the crew is always the difference maker. We were a family charter with kids, the kids loved it. Overall the spirit and the energy of the crew was superb for our family. Thanks Boatbookings team for recommending. We better understand how you know the crews of the boats and why you guide us to the best choice.
We had an excellent charter around Corsica and Sardinia. Thank you! Everything was very great, we really enjoyed this holiday! The boat, the crew, everything was amazing! Excellent recommendation from Boatbookings.
To say we had an amazing experience would be the understatement of the century! Our crew, Alex, Marcelle, Hannah and Brent were awesome! The scenery was incredible and the food was beyond spectacular! We only wish we stayed a few days longer. We will definitely be back Boatbookings and look forward to our next adventure.
Everything was really perfect! To the Crew - your attention and your care for all the details made our trip memorable. Chef Rich offered us amazing food, Captain Nick chased me seriously for snorkeling, Megan took excellent care of all our needs and Blaine was always here to help! You are a SUPER team!! Thank you very much. Knowledgeable recommendation by Boatbookings.
Thank you, we had a wonderful time! The service and the food were really the standouts of the day. The crew was wonderful and the food was plentiful and delicious. Thanks to Boatbookings for organising a great day out.
We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Mariann. The yacht was exactly what we were hoping for. The real difference was made by Mo and Mia. I can not say enough how wonderful they made the trip. Everyone of Mia's meals was delicious and she went the extra mile in terms of wonderful presentation. Mo and Mia were very experienced and were able to answer any questions regarding the areas we were visiting and general sailing and sea questions we had while on the trip.
We were very open to the itinerary and they did a great job finding places to show us. Based on what Mo and Mia said we didn't spend as much time on shore as some other groups but preferred swimming and snorkling and we noticed them researching snorkel spots, asking other captains for recommendations, and they even bought dive map and fish identification book for us to reference. They really went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our trip.
Thank you again Boatbookings for guiding our choice to the best crew and for your help!
The boat was fantastic. The captain Giorgio was amazing, we would use him again in a heartbeat! We absolutely loved him as well as our amazing cook and wonderful host. I wish I could have brought him back with me! Thank you Boatbookings for your professionalism.
We had a family and friends tandem charter - of all ages: 10 year old, 20s, 40s and 50s! Blue Moon and a skippered catamaran. Captain Ning is fabulous as Captain, as well as managing an itinerary to please all ages and the other Captain. Everything was possible including buying fresh fish at local prices - out at sea and hosting the most delicious meals for both boats! Recommend bringing along a Masseuse too! Everyone of us had a memorable holiday.
Captain Ning Rocks! We had an amazing family Christmas sailing from Phuket around Phang Nga bay. We made it all the way down to Koh Rok`s stunning turquoise sea and white sand beaches.
The whole family love Thai food so we chose to eat Thai all week and we were amazed at how fabulous every meal was - definitely exceeded our expectations.
We had never sailed on a catamaran before so we were all thrilled with how smooth she was and how much space and comfortable we were.
Captain Ning knew where to take us to and timed it to ensure we avoided the busy tourist times and best of all was when we got the sail up, turned the engine off and went with the wind....
