Your professionalism, warm hospitality, and attention to detail made all the difference. Whether it was navigating us to the best beach clubs, preparing delicious meals, or simply ensuring we were always comfortable, you went above and beyond at every turn.

“Dear THUMPER crew, thank you for making this a trip of a lifetime, far exceeding our expectations. The level of service was outstanding across the board. The food was incredible and you all went above and beyond to make this trip perfect. Thank you for everything - super sad that it is ending.” - Client 2024
“Dear THUMPER crew, the saddest sight of our trip was waking up this morning to see 2 place settings and realising our journey was about to end. The past week has been absolutely spectacular and I don’t know what I will do at home without a call button. Your ability to anticipate and respond to all of our needs has been top notch and your friendliness and smiles has made us feel right at home. We do hope our paths cross again and until then we wish you smooth sailing!” - Client 2024
"We literally had the best time of our lives with you this past week. Max, Sophie = Grace, you anticipated our every need + desire even before we realised we could use anything at all. Your grace, charm and service quality are unmatched, even under the most trying
of circumstances. Jack, Jono + Luke, your tireless work made our experience impeccable, and your cheerful attitudes were awe inspiring despite inclement weather, winds and even the dreaded “red rain”. And then Iain + Captain – what a dream team!! We felt so safe + secure under your watch and enjoyed your company very much. And then Dan – what can I say. Your food is incredible. Each dish was a work of art. Each day we couldn’t imagine a better meal, yet you continued to outdo yourself. And your delivery was always so humble despite your mastery of your craft. (The duck was the best lunch I have ever had) We will never forget you all and wish you the very best and hope our paths cross again.”- Client 2024

“I must say Capt James and Capt Jason have been absolutely amazing but most of all, as always with those two, they are not causing any stress about the late crossing (due to weather), simply keeping me informed and handling it, without panicking. This is why we love booking THUMPER!!
Very professionally managed, without complaint so I just wanted to reach out and express my appreciation, and you can tell the Owner how impressed I am.”
“Hi amazing TEAM THUMPER (insert 10⭐’s on every level here!!)
The charter is not quite over (tomorrow morning) but I cant resist sending this now to say what a total joy from start to end to work with this Crew (and you at TWW always)
The family have had a truly wonderful charter.
We all know it is entirely the Crew who ‘make or break’ the success of every charter and who are responsible for us Broker to get repeat clients and enhance our reputations.
THUMPER crew were hands-down the best of the best!! Seriously I am not just saying this, I have rarely witnessed a crew in operation like this, absolutely phenomenal in every regard.
"The clients told me that the chef is quite honestly the BEST CHEF THEY EVER EXPERIENCED!! (and you can imagine how much this family have travelled all over the world and experienced every restaurant and chef in every place), they said honestly Dan is outstanding beyond possible to describe!!!
I know it’s not quite over but a big thanks to all of you, for your part in it as always at TWW.” - Broker 2024

“To the Thumper team, It’s difficult to put into words how incredible you all are. The attention to detail was second to none, and I am going to have extreme difficulty readjusting to food not prepared by Chef Dan and espresso martini not made by Max. Thank you Jack and Luke for the late night pick-ups; thank you Iain and Jonathon for the “Thumper Olympics battle scars; thank you Sophie and Grace for the fastest delivery of cocktails I have ever seen; and thank you James for spearheading an incredible week. Have a fantastic rest of season!” - Client 2024
“You are all amazing! It really is hard to put it into words. Everything from the service, snorkelling, food, Thumper Olympics was outstanding. We are not sure how to re-enter the real world without Max's espresso martinis or Champagne. Seriously, we wish you all the best on the upcoming season and hope to see you next year!” - Client 2024
"You have made our dual-family vacation one to remember forever! You truly are a 'dream team' as each of you contributed to amazing memories. We enjoyed each water outing, cocktail, meal, and noticed every single detail from the tablescapes to the neat piles of our belongings you left scattered about! Your hard work and positive attitudes did not go unnoticed. You are all true professionals. We wish you a wonderful season ahead, and if you come to X – reach out!” - Client 2024
“Dear Thumper Crew, You guys were AWESOME! Thank you for all the hard work you did 😊. Also, thank you for hanging with us kids. Sorry we kept you up a bit at times, but we had so much fun getting to know y'all. The Thumper Olympics were especially epic! Shoutout to Iain for being an awesome emcee and to Jack and Jonathan! The food was insane, and I have to go back to burning my chicken next week, thanks, Dan! ”- Client 2024
"You made an already extraordinary trip even more wonderful. Thank you for the constant care and attention to every detail for each and every one of our many needs, no matter the hour. Especially appreciated my morning breakfasts, the incredible meals, and the kindness – the kindness – the kindness - you all went over and beyond. So much fun, so grateful!!” - Client 2024

“Dear Thumper Crew:We want to express our deepest gratitude for your exemplary service and genuine kindness.
Tom + Luke: So adept at navigating our boarding and transporting us on/off the tender! (Which is NOT easy work - but well done!)
Grace + Sophie: You are both so incredibly intuitive - this is not a talent that can be taught – so therefore cannot be forgotten! Good DNA!
Chef Dan: Are you human or a super hero? My goodness, the ability to feed a full guest + crew daily with such attention and creativity will be remembered for a lifetime.
Jack + Max: Both so prideful + capable + young + professional. You fellas made us all feel as though our youth was misspent!
Petras: You are clearly the Wizard behind the Curtain. Thank you for sharing your story with us last night on the Sundeck! Wish we spent more time w/you.
Capt James: You are quite a conductor of this perfectly tuned professional symphony. Every day + night was memorable and the way you checked in with us was both sincere and humorous. Bravo to all!” - Client 2024

“It is always such a pleasure to work with James... As always, he is just a delight to work alongside and makes everything enjoyable and easy. This was my first time however working with Captain Jason and I have to say it was equally as enjoyable.
Jason is hugely knowledgeable, experienced, and detailed and a real pleasure to chat with. You really do get the feeling that he cares about his guests, and they are not ‘just another charterer’.. I had no doubts whatsoever that the charter would be a great success and it was.
The yacht, crew, Captain, Chef and cuisine more than over exceeded my client’s expectations, and they left the yacht having spent a truly fantastic week onboard. Can’t wait to work with the yacht and Captains again 😊” - Broker

“(The clients) said they had a wonderful time on M/Y Thumper. All of the crew were excellent – extremely friendly while still being professional.
Some highlights were: dinner with the Captain, the singer Emily for Jason’s birthday, the water Olympics, touring on the tender to snorkelling and swimming spots and Chef Dan’s cooking. Thank you so much for a great charter!” - Broker

“Our clients had never chartered before and the crew exceeded every expectation and ensured that they had the most memorable holiday. Captain Jason and his crew were excellent, the planning process was extremely smooth. He kept us updated throughout with reservations and berths and he took all the client’s itinerary requests into consideration. The interior team, led by Robbie, provided impeccable service, the clients even decided to cancel restaurant reservations as Chef Dan’s creations were far superior. They had an unforgettable time and would return to THUMPER in a heartbeat. Do not hesitate to put this yacht forward, she is in great condition and the crew are brilliant. Happy to have my details put forward if a broker needs to contact me directly as well.” - Broker
“Just got home last night after what truly was the trip of a lifetime for all of us. There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience. The crew was exceptionally attentive and pleasant across the board. They could not have been more accommodating and after one day they were so proactive with our preferences that they would bring us things the way we liked it even before we thought to ask! This was service on an entirely different level than even the finest hotels. Jason, the captain, was exceptional and went over every detail about our trip and moving locations with lots of prudent considerations. Dan, the cook, was outstanding. Even though we had several dinners out at great restaurants we found Dan’s meals and preparations to be superior. We even cancelled our last dinner out to enjoy Dan’s creations and the staff’s service. Robbie, the gentleman in charge of the interior service (meals and interior boat maintenance) was extremely attentive to details and made sure things went smoothly. The rest of the team were outstanding and enjoyable to be with - Sebastian, Ian, Luke, Jonathan, Anna, and Oakley! We miss Thumper and the crew terribly!
While there were a few minor issues, everything was handled professionally! No drama whatsoever!
The one negative that is worth mentioning is that Thumper and her crew set the bar so high that it is hard to imagine that we will ever experience anything that can compare with our trip in the future!
Thanks for everything.” - Client

"Overall the entire charter was an amazing experience. Thumper is a beautiful yacht - the interior features coastal colors, comfortable and stylish furnishings, and gorgeous deck spaces. The crew were really bringing their A game every day. Can’t say enough good things about the whole team! Chef Dan was fantastic - very humble and incredibly talented. Every meal was delicious and he prepared a variety of dishes.
We particularly loved St. Tropez. We thought the village was charming with great shopping and cafes. We thoroughly enjoyed an evening at the L’Opera club in St Tropez. And being at Cannes during the film festival was a very cool experience. The Captain got us an incredible berth in both Cannes and St. Tropez and being able to walk into town and take in the sights was fabulous. In Cannes, La Guerite for lunch was one of our favourite places, and we were anchored super close to Jeff Bezos' new sailing yacht. Highly recommend L’Opera and La Guerite for a fun atmosphere!
We got lucky with the weather being better than forecasted and really are just so thankful for all the effort Captain James and the whole crew made to make it amazing. The last night we had karaoke night and asked the Captain if the crew could join us - it was a blast! - Client

“I had lovely feedback from the Principle, he mentioned that the charter went very well, they've been very happy to get back on board of THUMPER. Principle doesn't like the formal reports even when he is happy, but he mentioned several times that the Chef was absolutely amazing. All the charter was prepared perfectly, so from my side special thanks to Captain. I'm sure my clients will keep returning on board THUMPER.” - Broker
