What an incredible week! I do not think we could top the first two trips on Seahome, but Seahome 2 is spectacular. Beyond thankful for the friendship and memories, the R Family.
Such a great time! I didn’t think we could beat the first two trips so we sure did! From helping in the galley and playing chess with Andrew, I had a blast. Hope to be back soon! Love Jaxon.

April 2025 BVI Charter
This trip was nothing short of spectacular. I could not be more thankful for an awesome crew. Ryan I don’t know if I can return to civilization and eat ever again after your culinary brilliance ask my parents I do not eat nearly as eagerly anywhere else. Besides your food, Your incredible attitude always made my day. It was so awesome to talk and hang out with you. You are such a cool dude. I cannot overstay this. I know you are the best chef I’ve ever had the privilege of eating from. (PS if I become rich, you best believe you are the first Chef I look for, of course Ellen is part of the package. All the better!)
Ellen, you are so awesome. You have such an amazingly positive attitude and you took care of all of us so well you always put up with Ryan and my antics with a smile. You’re calm, cool and collected - always so friendly but you’ve got your shit together like no other thank you thank you thank you!
Eben, thank you so much for taking us through such an incredible place and thank you for putting up with us kids and our antics. I cannot imagine the difficulties of piloting a ship taking care of four adults and for hooligans yet you do it with such incredible poise hats off to you The whole crew thank you thank you thank you - Charlie (Don’t let the parents fool you! I wrote this)
Dear Crew, this adventure with you exceeded all of our expectations from the food to the diving to the journeys around the BVI. We simply had the best time. Thank you for putting up with the teenage boys and their good mischief. I’m not sure the Willy T experience will ever be forgotten (and you know we have video). We truly felt like family with you all we could not have asked for a better crew. I hope we cross paths again, and if we do Nicholas promises to keep the E-foil away from the boat. With sincere gratitude, the V family.
Heard on board this week:
“ That was the best day of my life”
- Meal
- Dive
- Vacation
- Duck confit
- Painkiller
- Week
Sailing through the BVI is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but that’s not what’s going to out me in 50 years when I look back at this trip, what will stick is a once in a lifetime people we got to shared with. Ryan I will always remember that to succeeded in life…you have to know who your audience. Thank you so much for your fun enthusiastic attitude. Ellen you are one of the most caring and humble people that I’ve ever met. Eben, thank you for showing your expertise and directed us through an unforgettable trip. Thank you for everything sincerely -Bradley.

We can't thank you enough for the amazing trip! You made us feel right at home from the minute we stepped on board. Ryan's food was so delicious. We enjoyed every meal! And he's correct-Michigan does beat the hell out of Ohio! Ellen is probably one of the warmest people we've ever met. James has the best taste in music, and we love his British humor. Bar hopping on Anegada with the crew was one of the highlights!
Much love to you all
