Boatbookings Yacht Reviews

What a wonderful week! Lots of laughs, beauty, great food and a few drinks. We are sorry the week is ending but we depart with wonderful memories and plans for another outing - we hope! -- Read more --

Had the best evening ever. I will be back -- Read more --

We really enjoyed the charter. The BVIs were a very different experience than the Exumas. We have been debating which we liked better because both were great. We loved the privacy and peaceful feeling of the Exumas but also enjoyed the lively islands of the BVIs. We will have to think long and hard about where we will want to go next time around. The crew was great! Captain Tyrone, Chef Cris, and Fun Director; Luan were all awesome. They made us feel at home and catered to anything and everything we could ask for. The Maverick is a beautiful boat and accommodated our group of 9 perfectly. I think our favorite day might have been the day on Jost Van Dyke. Hanging out at the Soggy Dollar all day, then Foxy-s at night, was very memorable. Thanks Boatbookings for helping us make this trip happen. I am sure we will be in touch before too long to book the next adventure. -- Read more --

We are well and had a fantastic charter. The boat was more than we expected, cabins were nicely outfitted and very comfortable. The crew,Capt Brian and Shannon were perfect. Both with lots of suggestions re: locations to snorkel, restaurants or bars on the islands and different hikes to explore. And the meals on board were excellent. They both did an excellent job, and each night’s mooring was breathtaking. Thank you Boatbookings for your recommendations! -- Read more --

Our family had the trip of a lifetime on Sip Sip this past June. We arrived by dingy to rum punches on the stern, served with a smile by Lida. Our luggage was immediately whisked away. Captain Chris took us all on a tour of the boat. The boat has a sleek and modern vibe that makes it feel like a floating, spa oasis. We slept in a queen cabin and it was the most comfortable charter bed I’ve ever slept on. The bathrooms are enormous and there is plenty of storage for a week-s worth of clothes and necessities. Our son slept in the bunk room with a friend and it was perfect for them. Lida served up a gourmet breakfast every morning and incredible dinners each evening. Most of our lunches were spent at beach restaurants on the different islands. We had some complicated food requests on this trip and Leda made sure that my husband had the correct food for each meal and made them delicious. Chris and Lida are expert sailors, hosts and staff (staff wrong word?). They made the vacation by offering suggestions as to locations to stop and explore and providing us with the space we needed to relax when under sail. The boat itself has many areas to spread out and read, sunbathe, or even work ( if you have to!). The highlight for the parents and the kids were the “toys” on board. Each day we would find a place to snorkel, SeaBob, hydrofoil, paddle board and dingy. We know from experience that some yacht charters charge extra for these perks but they are included on Sip Sip which is fantastic. The BVI’s are the best family vacation destination and when you explore it on Sip Sip you’re going to make memories for a lifetime! -- Read more --

We wanted to thank you and the rest of the team at Boatbookings for organising such a fantastic holiday in the Aeolian Islands on Summertime. We enjoyed sunny weather and beautiful scenery, but the week was made additionally special because of the amazing food served onboard. Captain Lorenzo is a fabulous chef who made great use of the local seafood and produce. The other crew members, Dani and Ilya, were friendly and accomodating and Dani makes a mean cocktail:) The yacht was scrupulously clean and maintained. I think some of the highlights were watching Stromboli erupt in the evening, swimming in the caldera of an extinct volcano at Salina, squid jigging at midnight off Alicudi and walking around Lipari town. Our kids enjoyed themselves hugely and are already thinking about a next voyage when son number two hits 30 in a few years time. We look forward to your guidance then! -- Read more --

I had the pleasure of booking a trip with Captain Theo on Cristal Mio this past August that was fantastic. Best service we have ever had and we have been on 5 charters. Thank you to Boatbookings for guiding us to CHRISTAL MIO, Captain Theo and his crew. -- Read more --

The trip was fantastic, and both the boat and Crew over delivered. We really like the spacious layout of powerboats and the Lagoon 63. Jeremie, first and foremost, is a very capable captain. He also treated the boat well. Added bonus he is a terrific host and someone all of us enjoyed getting to know and shared many laughs. Marion is a super chef and blew us away. Great hostess and a pleasure to spend a week with as well. Thank you, Boatbookings, for your diligent planning and work to create another amazing charter! -- Read more --

Chartered the 4.8 in the Ionian Island in August 2023. It was the perfect vessel for our party of 4 couples. The common areas were spacious and comfortable. The rear main area wall recesses up into the ceiling, allowing for a more expanded open experience. The captain and hostess (a married couple) were fabulous and really added to the overall extremely pleasant time spent. We all enjoyed every aspect of this experience. Would do it all over again in a heart-beat with Boatbookings. -- Read more --

Antonio was wonderful and we had the best day yesterday! He was informative as to the local scenery, the history, and the food and his crew were fantastic! He had all the drinks we wanted, a great breakfast and a tasty lemon birthday cake! Thanks again for the recommendation, I would use him again any time! Looking forward to Croatia in 2024 with Boatbookings! -- Read more --
