Testimonials

"The crew are INCREDIBLE! They come from big boats so the service was outstanding (better than I have had on much larger yachts!) and the food was big boat chef presentation and taste. Book her with confidence. 10 out of 10.

Overall ambiance and atmosphere: Just perfect. Presented like a yacht chef food is expected to look like. 5* presentation. Only comment is about rocket salad being served with dessert which I thought was an odd pairing.  I thought the canape was delicious, fresh, tasty; the starter was a good combination with the goats cheese and lentils - a classic pairing; the salmon was cooked perfectly and I loved the swirl. Grilled asparagus, always a win. The orange posset was a first for me. I'm a convert!

The service was incredible, well orchestrated, professional, correct service etiquette was followed. Little touches were noted, like the lime wedges on the table.  Gluten free was accommodated (for my dietary preferences) but not to the detriment of the food served. I loved the crew working together when serving the meals with the captain helping. Gave an aura of completeness and VIP service. The 'big boat' experience is evident in the crew. Suggestions for improvement: Nothing! I can't wait to book the boat!"

Thank you and the lovely crew. Everything was relaxed and impeccable. One can really feel the larger yacht service and quality, onboard a smaller yacht. I am sure you will be very successful!

I had the chance to visit Cherry with Captain Steve and meet Kerri, who were both very welcoming. It was a real pleasure to get to know the yacht better through the Captain's eyes, we can feel he is very professional and passionate about his work which is always appreciated. There is an obvious good dynamic between the crew members which is very pleasant and really important during charters in my opinion. Overall we feel a very motivated, dynamic and cheerful crew and I would be delighted to entrust my clients to them.

I was very surprised by Cherry, as we usually consider this type of sporty yachts for day or short charters, but she is really spacious and comfortable which makes her totally suitable for longer charters. The size of her cabins and the exterior spaces are impressive for a yacht her size, the general arrangement is well thought-out. And of course as she is a 2023 built she is in a perfect condition, the interior design is modern yet warm and inviting.

10/10. Lunch on MY Cherry was a Sublime experience.

The risotto was particulay delicious. The chef achieved the ideal balance between creamy and al dente. The parmesan garnish and a creative finishing touch. I was particulary impressed by the homemade tiramisu, it was not overly sweet and a perfect light texture. The spinach was very tasty, the quality of mascarpone was outstanding. Even the bread  were very tasty, the quality of mascarpone was outstanding. Even the bread waswas fresh and aromatic. Overall, the menu presented a harmonious blend of flavors. The overall service was a warm welcome.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a friendly smile and nice champagne. Table was set immaculately with a colorful flowers, gorgeous glasses and a well design center mat. The quality of service remain consistently high throughout the entire lunch. The service provided by Chef was truly exceptional. I appreciated how he took the time to explain each dish in detail with professionalism. During the warmer days of summer, perhaps a cold appetizer could be considered, but I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my dining experience at Cherry. It is evident that the stewardess is highly qualified, providing impeccable, discreet, and warm service. I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire crew for hosting us.

Crew : a good, informative and warm tour with (Captain) Steve. Welcoming and confident vibe, congrats.

Yacht : smart, sharp and worth proposing. I like your (Youtube) walkthrough, nice one! I’d add the totally opening division between saloon and cockpit – it’s an excellent way to make the main area feel bigger and will be a hit with guests for sure (weather permitting).
