"First, I want to THANK YOU for the work you did to help us secure Seahome [...] The evening you all planned for us on shore, complete with bonfire and barbeque, s'mores, football, Frisbee, bags was so very special. Magical, happy, fun. We are very appreciative of your thoughtfulness.
The crew was exemplary. They were very friendly, happy, professional, interactive and a keen sense to our needs. Simon and Amber only hire on as a team so they were very in tune to each other. Ronette, took great care of the boat and us. Their work was seamless. Simon was a great captain... voiced his commands respectfully and precisely. Simon provided the dinghy which allowed us our water sports. We played (doing something special each day... water skiing, tubing, wake boarding, hobbie cat, paddle boarded) and snorkeled every day. The Baths were awesome as always. Every place Simon took us was fabulous. Amber filled our tummies with three full meals a day and everyone enjoyed every meal. It's hard to believe she could make us all happy while cooking all day long for 12 of us. The food was excellent. Amber also set up reservations where and when we needed them. Excellent, excellent, creative meals. We had everything we wanted. The changed center pieces with each dinner were remarkable... warm and inviting.
The boat was clean and well maintained. They took great pride in offering us a gorgeous vessel. Ronette cleaned our cabins daily and provided a linen change mid trip. Everything worked as it should.
SO... on to Liam! Oh my, oh my did they ever make it a memorable trip for Liam. Liam had a great time. He was presented upon embarkation, a treasure challange. On the scroll it had several things to complete before the end of the trip... all of them involving time with either Simon or Amber. He was so excited..... tying knots, sailing a hobbie cat, feeding the Tarpin, water skiing , drawing a picture of a couple things, helping Amber make brownies for dessert one night..... he played chess with Simon, he and Simon tested many chocolate chips for the brownies, Simon taught him about the sails on Seahome and let him captain the wheel. He loved the snorkeling and the tube... all the places we went. Extra cuddle time with Mommy and Daddy. He jumped off the boat, he helped Amber serve the meals... It could have not been better for him. On the last night on the boat , Simon, Amber and Ronette presented Liam with a certificate of completion and a case that contained the treasure... all kinds of dinosaur things, candy,..... he was very excited . We all were very touched. He cried because he didn't want to go home. Simon, Amber and Ronette also gave us a card and a flash drive of all the pictures he had taken of us throughout the week. Awesome.
I could go on and on, Hadley. Suffice it to say we all had a marvelous, happy time . One we will all keep close in our hearts forever. As you had suspected ... it all ended with many, many hugs, exchange of info and invites to come visit. As for your involvement, [...].
Our best to you. Fondly, Linda and Bill

May 2022 BVI Charter
I’m not sure where to start but will by saying the crew consisting of Tyler Dunn, James Temple, and Alex Duggan exceeded our expectations on every level. First off, Captain Tyler’s knowledge of the Catamaran was very evident from the very beginning of the trip to the final docking which he made look extremely easy, his professionalism and personality were most enjoyed, his choices for the itinerary, locations and excursions could not have been better, his dive master abilities and knowledge once again were most enjoyed. He also helped James and Alex at all times and ran a great ship!
My wife and I have enjoyed a Three Star Michelin restaurant experience in the past and James presentations and meals were right on par. In our wildest dreams and imaginations could we have imagined the exceptional meals we were served. His meals were such a surprise and truly enjoyed by all. Our party did include several dietary requests and he did such a great job with the requests. I know I personally would not have been as patient as he was. His personality was so enjoyed by my wife and I.
Finally Alex our stewardess was such a pleasure! She’s an incredible young lady. Her drink making abilities, table setting presentations, servicing of our cabins, assisting Tyler with anchoring. She handled us 60 year old’s with style and grace which I’m sure could be very taxing.
The trip was one of the most memorable we have experienced and was made even more so due the wonderful crew that to us felt like family. They were so unbelievable that they made it very difficult to get off the boat!!! Again the 3 of them are consummate professionals and we feel as though we have added 3 new members to our family! They are welcome at our house anytime and hopefully they find it in their adventures to make it to Southern California

April 2022 BVI Charter
My husband and I along with 8 of our lifelong friends just returned from a BVI trip. First of all …. the trip absolutely exceeded our expectations and we’ve previously sailed to Panama on a private 120 foot yacht with a crew of 5 and a trip to the Bahamas on a 90 foot Private Italian Ferett Yacht with an exceptional crew. Our expectations were high as we’ve already experienced two very special adventures. Well … I must say the crew including Captain Tyler, Chef James and Alex absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. I was blown away each and every day. We could not have asked for a more perfect crew and they serve you and your company with EXCELLENCE!!!! Since I was very young my father owned numerous hotels and I am familiar with the service industry and your crew truly represents your company well!!!
Captain Tyler: An Absolute Professional ... at navigating a large group on the CAT which included numerous excursions. He runs a tight ship and sets high standards for his crew. In all my travels — I’ve never watched the Captain wash the dishes, set the table and assist the crew like I witnessed from Tyler. We had a group of 60+ year olds with numerous requirements and Tyler truly met and exceeded any expectations we may have had. Tyler went above and beyond the call of duty to make our trip not only memorable, but a “trip of a lifetime”!!!!
Chef James: What can I say … I've enjoyed the finest restaurants around the world and our food was the BEST EVER!!! Always paired with special wines - even ones given to him by other guests. James accommodated a laundry list of food requests including Gluten Free, Vegan and numerous food requirements. Seriously James is the best chef …. EVER!!!
Alex (aka Drink Fairy): I knew the first day Alex was exceptional — she really is amazing for a 21 year old! Wow … we all fell in love with her! She started our day with the best latte and ended it with twice daily cabin cleaning which included turn-down service with Fiji waters and handmade treats on our pillows. She taught me many things on our trip including Alcohol with Essential oils for cleaning, how to make a perfect “Pain Killer” which helped my husband’s bad back after a day of scuba and how to smile when asked to clean a boat load of sand from our room. Alex exceeded our expectations with her attention to detail and serving us daily with a smile and EXCELLENCE!!!
I personally can’t describe this crew in words — you must experience them first hand to understand the amazing experience they provided to 10 of the most discerning guests.
We love all of them and really sad to leave.
Cheers to a great crew!

Christmas 2021 USVI
Every single thing about our trip was perfect. The Seahome was beautiful the crew was clearly the best crew at sea! The smallest details to the biggest were taken care of along the way. There was plenty of space for our family to be together and to find relaxing space.
Captain John kept us well entertained... paddle boards, tubing, scuba, snorkel, cliff jumping, sunset sailing, hiking, playing at secluded beaches, dingy rides, hammock chairs, fishing. He took us to the most amazing places and gave us a sense of calm confidence that had all of us participating in all of the activities.
Alex's ability and dedication to creating magical ambiance for EACH meal (3x per day) was unreal.
Chef James... where to begin? From my morning to coffee to our evening meal his abilities are astounding! Not only is his food melt in your mouth delicious but his plating techniques are beyond impressive. I could not have been more impressed with the culinary experience. It was truly Michelin level.
Absolutely perfect! The only bad part was leaving and the ugly cry I had.
November 29, 2021
James,
We thought it was going to be cool to have someone prepare meals for us on this trip. We assumed it be a deckhand that knew some kitchen things. Never could we have expected the work class experience you gave us.
Your food was beyond amazing, but you already know that. What you might not know is how awe-inspiring you are to all of us. The passion you have for your craft is generally reserved for the finest artists. You are one of those artists. Each meal was an experience and a show. Oh and the most delicious food we've ever consumed.
Beyond that, you literally have changed all of our lives. The confidence my son has because of your care and effort will positively impact him for years, and his happiness is our happiness. Thank you for caring Thank you for sharing your art with us. Thank you for giving us a joy we will never forget. Don't get jaded on your journey!
Alex,
I was fully prepared for you to hide from us after we fanboyed and fangirled out less than 5 minutes on the boat. Instead of retreating, however, you leaned into our unique brand of crazy, and my family had a life changing experience that we will never forget because of that effort. Anyone can practice for great service. It takes someone truly special to embody it.
The condescending and aegist thing to say would be "You're so self assured... for your age." You deserve more than that. The sense of self you inhabit is rare for anyone no matter their age. If my daughter grew up to to be half as amazing as you, I would consider myself lucky.
I have absolutely no doubt you will absolutely crush whatever comes next on your journey. On those really tough days, I hope you remember how impactful you have been on my family's lives. We are better people for having crossed paths with you.
With peace and love,
The Smiths
