This has been an amazing week-long journey, whose highlights for us included sugar-sand beaches and aquamarine waters for swimming and snorkeling; thrills (for the younger folks) of speeding around on a raft being pulled by a dinghy and it's speed-loving skipper; fabulous flavors and new tastes during extraordinary meals.
But there was another entire journey: the one of getting to know you, and this journey has also been a great pleasure. We are astounded at how quickly we felt a true part of your floating home. Thank you for welcoming us into your home with such warmth & humor, and for giving us so much fascinating insight into the people and places we encountered along the way.
Thank you for being our guides through a small slice of your paradise, the BVI.

Thank you doesn't seem to be enough. You both created a wonderful week for my family, and when challenges arose, you gracefully helped us move past and back into fun. It was a pleasure getting to know both of you and all your efforts throughout the week are so appreciated. Maribel, your cooking was delicious! I was selfishly pleased during meal time that one of my kids had lost her appetite and I could finish her plate!
Carlos, every day you created a new and fun adventure for us. My kids will forever remember their firsts dive gliding sub-wing experience, and so many wonderful moments. Thank you for all of it. And that medicine cabinet was HUGE! Not sure how this would have gone without it.

Carlos and Maribel,
Even though I had some problems with my ear, I still had a fabulous time! Maribel, your cooking was fantastic. I loved the breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Specially the desserts! And Carlos, you introduced me to the sub-wing, taught me about the BVI and helped me catch my first fish. I had an amazing time and loved it!

Dear Carlos and Maribel,

Captain Carlos and Chef Maribel,
Thank you for providing the trip of a lifetime! Your attention, care, and professionalism was much appreciated, especially sailing us through rough waters and feeding us with absolutely exceptional meals! I will cherish these memories forever. You have given us a love for the BVI and I certainly hope to return again.
This has been the trip of a lifetime! Staying at different islands each night and seeing new things each day was so fun. But the food was the highlight for me! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Rancho Mission Viejo

We had an absolutely delightful cruise on ALIZE with Carlos and Maribel. We enjoyed sailing to all the different moorings to explore the shore offerings and water fun. Our favorite was Virgin Gorda. The red flag at The Baths turned out to be a blessing when we got a special tour of the island and still got to the Baths via land instead. And Maribel's food! Each time Carlos delivered plates we all gasped at the beautiful presentation and then raved about the flavors and variety.
We were here 17 years ago and it is just as magical now as it was then. Great vacation! Very relaxing.

Carlos and Maribel,
Thank you for an incredible and absolutely wonderful week. It truly has been so enjoyable and perfect for our family. We have sincerely appreciated your incredible hospitality and opening your home to us.
We have loved a quiet week filled with breathtaking views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, great history lessons from Carlos and meals that words can't describe. Maribel, your creativity and amazing culinary talents were both beautiful and delicious. Thank you for all your attention to details and sharing new dishes for us to enjoy (and take pictures of).
The quiet time together on the water was exactly what we were looking forward to-but it was beyond our expectations.
Thank you Carlos and Maribel. We sincerely enjoyed our time with you and sailing the BVI.

Thank you so much for an incredible week and for giving our family the opportunity to reconnect in such a relaxing and stress free environment.
Words do not adequately describe what our family experienced this week. The hospitality extended to our family will probably never be rivaled. We made so many memories...
Thanks again for a special week-one that our family will never forget. You guys are The Best!
Y'alls attention to detail was incredible, and I felt deeply cared for...
We will miss your kind smiles and sweet spirits. The trip wouldn't have been the same without you all!
