Dear Maribel and Carlos,
Muchísimas gracias por una semana de los sueños. (Thank you very much for a one week dream sailing vacation).
You introduced us to the beautiful BVI and we shall 150% return. If this is not paradise on earth then I don't know what is. Just beauty and calmness everywhere. Keith and I had the best time with empty heads, which means we really switched off and breathed in every moment. Our friend Reed's 40th birthday was the best reason to bring us here.
Maribel, Du bist die beste kochin. (You're an amazing chef! Carlos is a very lucky man!
With gratitude and respect,

With Chef Maribel you will always eat well. With Captain Carlos, you are always in safe and knowledgeable hands!

Cuando María y Fernando nos invitaron, después de su experiencia del año pasado, tenía una idea de lo que me esperaba, pero todo ha superado AMPLIAMENTE mis expectativas. La simpatía, calidez y profesionalismo de Maribel y Carlos ha hecho realmente inolvidable esta semana. El esmero con que Maribel prepara cada plato, hace de cada comida una sorpresa y un deleite. Y todo con un plus: poder revivir los años pasados desde mi nacimiento en el velero de mi padre, Carlos Iriarte.
Gracias!, Muchas Gracias!!

When María and Fernando invited us, after their experience last year, I had an idea of what to expect, but everything has FAR exceeded my expectations. The friendliness, warmth, and professionalism of Maribel and Carlos made this week truly unforgettable. The care with which Maribel prepares each dish makes each meal a surprise and a delight. And all with an added bonus: being able to relive the years since my birth on my father Carlos Iriarte's sailboat.
Thank you! Thank you so much!!

What an incredible family vacation in the BVIs!
We tackled a lot this week. We know that we aren't your typical sailing family and we want you both to know how incredibly appreciative we are with your flexibility in creating our itinerary, that was suitable for our family needs. After this trip we are leaving with a deep understanding of this area of the world. We could not have gotten here without your expertise and knowledge. Thank you for keeping our family safe and for letting us extend our time in Scrub Island. We truly had the best time exploring the various islands, snorkeling, and just creating such special family memories that truly are unforgettable.
Maribel, you are an exceptional cook. We are so lucky to have such a talented Chef onboard. 5Stars! If you are ever in central Mexico we are happy to host you in San Miguel de Allende.
See you all again soon!

Carlos and Maribel,
Wow, what an awesome life enhancing experience. We are so blessed to have had y'all as our Captain and Chef team through this BVI sailing adventure. Seven days of world class snorkeling and island hopping. Our dear friend Nancy Paschal said y'all were the best ever, yet that is so understated. Everyday built on the previous day! The focus on safety was so appreciated. We loved hiking on Norman Island, Cooper island was fantastic. Hearing the stories of the islands brought everything to life. Marina Cay so nostalgic. We hit the time just right with just a few others on the beach. Two days at Bitter End was perfect, The Baths-wonderful loved Miss Patsy. Maribel's love and kindness was evident in every meal. So dedicated to delivering world class meals everyday. So blessed with this trip provided by two very special professionals.
Thank You!

Carlos and Maribel:
Thank you for helping to make our 25th wedding anniversary so special and memorable. It was such a magical trip for us and we loved exploring the BVI. This is one of those trips that we will reflect on for the rest of our lives. The beautiful color of the ocean, snorkeling with schools of fish, the scary barracuda, and the amazing hike on Norman Island. There is so so much more. We cannot express our gratitude enough for all you shared with us. Your stories are so captivating that I leave with wanting to learn more. Write that book! You are both amazing story tellers and your adventures are so amazing. Maribel, write that cookbook! That seafood broth you served us was worthy of awards. Oh, there is so much to say- the turtles, the food, the knowledge...
Thank you so much!

Maribel and Carlos,
We feel incredibly blessed that we've been able to travel the world with our kids, and this BVI catamaran trip was our favorite! What a gift to have your expertise on the islands. From our favorite excursion to the Baths early in the morning beating the crowds to our top islands:
#1: The Bitter End and Saba Rock.
#2: Cooper-get the ice cream!
#3: Norman-Pirates Bight. Snorkeling, hiking, ... every step of the way GOD truly showed up, from the turtles to the dolphins, to the flying spotted eagle ray jumping right in front of the boat!
Maribel cooks the beast meals on the islands, and we loved learning so much about your 30 years in the industry throughout the week.
THANK YOU for sharing your amazing floating home with us. We are eternally grateful for the fabulous memories!

Maribel and Carlos,
We had a fabulous week onboard Alize exploring the BVI. Every sail was a new opportunity to enjoy the beauty of creation. Carlos adding history and background was an added bonus. Maribel, your meals were always amazing. You kept us well fed with your exceptional culinary skills. I especially appreciate your concern for my early days with mild motion sickness. Your "bread ball swallow" trick really worked and allowed me to fully enjoy the remainder of the trip.
Thank you for sharing your home with us I will never forget my 60th birthday present!

Where to even begin...?
This has been the most amazing family vacation we have ever been on. Watching our children experience so many firsts in such a beautiful place is something we will never forget. Every meal was ***** five stars! All four of us enjoyed everything Maribel made. Each meal had the perfect view thanks to Carlos's perfect planning. Thank you for making each day an adventure. We enjoyed playing with all the toys and visiting all the best snorkeling spots. Watching the boys swim with a sea turtle was magical and something they will never forget. You made us all feel so welcome and comfortable aboard ALIZE.
Thanks again for the trip of a lifetime!!

Guests aboard catamaran ALIZÉ in mid-July, 2024, said or their charter:
Thank you for hosting our quiet, quirky family and meeting us where we are. We had such a great time on the ALIZE this week! The restaurant-quality meals from that tiny galley are nothing short of amazing-crispy chicken on a boat is seriously impressive. All of the spots we visited were great, but the highlight for us all was the empty resort at Ocean's Seven, with our private snorkeling reef. It's hard to imagine anyone taking more care to find us places that were perfect for us. Every detail was well thought and made for a really meaningful family vacation. Even in the midst of changing weather and "Christmas in July" we had the quiet sea-focused week we all wanted. And thank you for being inspiringly interesting, quiet, relaxed people. You two made us feel right at home on the boat, which is saying a lot since most of us had never even slept on a boat before. Thank you so much for all your hard work in making this experience one we will never forget!!

Thank you for such a wonderful trip. Exceeded all our expectations. And we had been dreaming and planning a BVI trip for 30 Years, so that is a high praise! Carlos knew all the good places to go, from snorkeling, to the food; also a great place to celebrate an 11th year old's birthday. Everything was so much fun! Thank you very much! Wonderful trip. Thanks for putting up with our crazy crew. The hidden gem was Peter Island on the last day. Ocean Seven Club for ourselves was unexpected and so relaxing. Great snorkeling. Thank you so much for the thoughtful planning, especially when thinking about the girls. Spectacular trip. The beauty of the BVI was more than I could ever imagine and your service was top notch. Winnie, our six year old, is speechless!
From our family to yours, our deepest heartfelt thanks.
