Wow! Where does one begin when asked to describe heaven on earth? Pure bliss, unparalleled happiness, as close to perfection as a week can get. Six of us had the great fortune of chartering Xandros for a full week - our Melebration - seven days celebrating the 50th birthday of my wife, Melody - the coolest lady on the planet (we all agreed that Jada was undoubtedly most people`s obvious choice!). We came in search of beautiful geography, hidden coves and memorable sunsets. What we got was so much more. While the locations in the BVIs are incomparable, it was Cam, Jada & Chef Sam who made this truly the trip of a lifetime. Cap Cam - you deserve to be the star of the next Avengers team. A true to life modern day superhero. Is there nothing that you cannot do on the high seas? And a brilliant sense of humor to boot! Ms. Jada - you are queen of hospitality, high princess of the BVIs. Your secret power seems to be the ability to read minds and anticipate the needs of everyone of your needy high maintenance guests (we like to think that we`re so easy going, but I`m quite confident it`s far from the truth). You do it all with true grace. And Chef Sam - I`ll put your masterful dishes up against any Michelin chef in the world (and let`s see them do it solo in a galley kitchen with an induction stove!) Each dish inspiring mouthwatering awe and full of creative inspiration, unbelievable, incredible - pull out the thesaurus to describe your culinary skill and prowess. Thank you Boatbookings for all your support and expertise, guiding us to the wonderful XANDROS and her amazing crew - wonderful job!
We recently spent a fabulous week on Merry Time. Captain Adam brought us to some excellent spots, such as caves for snorkeling, the Willy T, Soggy Dollar, and a very secluded cove in Virgin Gorda. Some of our guests were a little concerned about rough seas, but Adam planned out an optimal route to keep everyone comfortable. Chef Karen prepared some great meals for us. There was good variety and she was able to accommodate our preferences. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend the Merry Time!
We cannot thank you enough for this amazing trip you have given us! You have exceeded any expectations we could have had. Your outstanding customer service, personalities and attention to every detail have made this a trip of a lifetime! Thank you Boatbookings and Team AURA.
We want to thank you for our trip of a lifetime! We feel we got special treatment! Thanks for being gracious hosts and the food has been something to remember! Chilly`s calm attitude was very soothing and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness. Thank you is not enough and we consider you you as a part of our journey through life, until we meet again! Boatbookings did an amazing job at putting this together for us and we appreciated their support and guidance throughout.
Thank you so much Boatbookings for the most amazing week! We have all made so many wonderful memories! Everything was perfect - from the itinerary, to the service, to the food - we could not have wanted for better.
Boatbookings, thanks so much for the help with the vacation. We have done a lot of vacations and this one was amazing. It is really the only way to vacation if you just want to relax and enjoy the water and warmth.
The crew was great - they really took great care of us and made sure we were happy the entire trip. Your advice was helpful. The Lagoon was a great choice, having the fly bridge is really great. I also did not realize how much having a slightly larger boat means - it was nice when comparing to the many 54s we saw. The double sized master cabin now feels like a must have for me! The other really important differentiator for me is the ability to scuba directly from the boat with Michael and Mark. None of us have ever done this and I would say it was probably the highlight of the trip for many of us.
I honestly do not know if we had a favorite day, favorite destination, etc. It was all right up there at the top. We did love Lime Out and Pizza Pi. The crew was really good with allergies and food issues, so we appreciate that. They also did a great job with the kids - helping them fish, explore, etc.
We would definitely do it again, and look forward to working with Boatbookings again!
Thank for the amazing, relaxing and fun week in the Grenadines. We really enjoyed all the water activities, and shore excursions. Every crew member is a true master in what they do, and worked so hard to maximise our enjoyment. Thank you Boatbookings once again for guiding us to LIR!
The trip was fantastic! The Boat was in perfect shape; the weather could not have been better. What made the experience 10 plus, plus, plus, was Graham and Sulet. They made the trip outstanding, Graham knew the boat inside and out. They kept us going all the time with interesting locations, and Sulet’s food was simply amazing!!!!
They were a perfect blend of professional and friendly, we would not have changed a single thing.
Thanks again Boatbookings for putting the trip together!
Picked up in Bequia by Laurent and Astrid; guests in their home! Our first time on a boat that was a private home ! They are very experienced crew and felt very safe and relaxed. Astrid - her cooking was absolutely outstanding! We looked forward to our lunch and dinner everyday. We will try and replicate some of the recipes. Our highlight was a birthday dinner at Tobago Cays. The best table was organised with pink champagne, the lobster was insane! What a night, danced on the beach and then carried into the early hours with everyone, a memory we will treasure! Thank you for the unforgettable experience and to Boatbookings for their recommendation of this excellent yacht.
What a thrill to spend a week on Island Hoppin! We had a great time diving, snorkelling, sailing, bar hopping and exploring. But most of all we have enjoyed being together as friends on this boat. You both facilitated a great vacation for all of us. You make a great team. We knew that we were in good hands and that allowed us all to relax and frolic like kids. Patti, we cannot say enough about how good your meals were! Every dish, platter and assortment was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We are all very spoiled now. And I will definitely be trying to recreate some of the magic that you created. You both make it look fun and easy, but we all know the amount of work it takes behind the scenes! Best wishes for your future adventures and a big thank you to Boatbookings for putting together this wonderful adventure.
