Our gratitude is inexpressible. You've gifted us with your company, hospitality, and kindness at a time in our lives when it was so direly needed! Your reception and warmth was second to none. The itinerary you built around our interests was spot on every day without fail; and your meals were works of art - feasts for all the senses. If you ever find yourselves in NC, be it exploring the area or just passing through, please know there is a place for you to stay any time!

From the moment we stepped aboard - no actually even before that - you were both gracious, hospitable, and attentive beyond measure. Mackenzie - your warm and loving demeanor are welcoming like a dear friend, and Jake, your chill vibe exudes confidence and capability to ensure your passenger's safety. You each bring an easy, good-time-to-be-had-by-all tone that is delivered day after day. From beginning to end, we could not have been more fortunate to have you as our hosts for this long-desired experience. You each embody the name of the boat you crew, and you created not just a great week, but a lasting reminder of how to live. I am deeply grateful and appreciative of all you did for us this week.
Thank you for an awesome week of beautiful coves, great underwater adventures, and amazing food and beverages! Couldn't have asked for better hosts! You guys ROCK! I appreciate your time and efforts to make everything so perfect - even the last minute surprise wedding. Magnificent!
Pretty sure there was never a crew so perfectly suited to a boat's name - it was a karmic pairing to be sure! Thank you for the early AM SUP sessions, watching waves at Little Jost Van Dyke, and creating a perfect wedding day for our friends! You two created a perfect experience. Thank you Mackenzie and Jake!

Thank you so much for such an incredible week on Karma. We had so much fun! It's hard to pick one (or even a few) favorite when we enjoyed so much. The diving was amazing, as were the on land excursions at The Baths, Anegada, and Soggy Dollar. We loved those adventures but also had such a blast on the boat - a magical home away from home for this week. The family breakfast / lunch / dinner table with all of us together is a gift that is somewhat elusive during this chapter of life, and this time together will be cherished forever. And the food. Truly magnificent every time. Works of art!!!
Since I'm delivering these thanks I'll add a special shout-out for the TSwift dance parties - and I'm sure the whole family would concur - the games, music, conversations, and boat vibe provided much needed connection and relaxation!
Thank you!!"

Thanks for the adventures, '10 minute' walks, shark shots, morning meetings, skis of shots (shot skis?), games, and everything in between.
