The yacht performed to perfection, but it was Cora's prowess in the kitchen and Pedro's cheerful hospitality that made all of the difference! Thanks for truly making this a first class trip. La Sirena has reached a new level thanks to you!

Dear Dustin & Alli,
Thank you both so much for an amazing journey through the BVI. You were the most gracious & knowledgeable hosts ever & we will all cherish & remember the wonderful time on the boat & so many enjoyable activities off the boat, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming & wakeboarding. The service & attention to detail in every aspect was appreciated, especially Alli managing the various dietary restrictions & preferences of our group of six. I have never had so many delicious meals in such a short time, your cooking & baking skills are extraordinary! Brandon, Tristan, & I especially enjoyed & appreciated Dustin's teaching us to fish & being the dinghy captain for wakeboarding & getting the scuba jets! Thanks for the best vacation ever & safe & happy travels to both of you!

Dear Dustin + Alli,
♥️♥️ Thank you both for the BEST part of our vacation! As someone who is anxious with boats and stuff, you both made me feel right at home and like I had nothing to worry about. Dustin, thank you for helping with all things boating! You were so patient with all of our learning and always eager to help make our trip 10x better! LOVE THE DINGHY! Alli, thank you for being so understanding with our food preferences, you always had a smile on your face and made our trip that much more memorable! You were awesome! Good luck on your future endeavours, I hope we get to sail with you guys again soon!!
Best, Jessica ♥️♥️
Dustin & Alli,
WOW!! You two do the job of 10 & then some so flawlessly. I cannot thank you enough for these last five days of adventure, beauty, culinary excellence, relaxation and, most importantly, friendship. You two made my family of 6 feel right at home & did not miss a beat on making sure we had everything we needed or desired. I loved every second on La Sirena. Your patience with teaching us how to operate equipment, some history around us, our midnight shenanigans & fun, our quirky food preferences - last minute surprises - and with all our questions & misplaced items, was above the bar. Our hearts, minds & bellies are filled with love, joy & memories of a lifetime! Thank you!! Hoping we can do it again with you two. Much appreciation, love & wishes for many amazing adventures for you both.
- Jana
Thanks for taking us everywhere, I had lots of fun. You two were very nice.
- Brandon, 12
THANK YOOOOU! Thank you both so much for making our memories so much better! The boat is out of this world, I am so glad it got to feel like home. I am going to miss all the wonderful meals everyday, I'm sure I'll be talking about them for the rest of my life! I thank both of you from the bottom of my heart for our little oasis out at sea! Much love and positivity for both of you!
-Becca ♥️
Dear Dustin & Alli
The experience you provided us with was amazing! The care that you both took in planning meals as well as excursions is what made this trip so special. It is apparent that you are both experts in your respective crafts. Alli, thank you for putting up with all of our dietary needs and preferences. Dustin, thank you for your instruction in wake surfing, learning how to do that and riding standing up will be a memory that I will not forget. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better crew. Again, thank you both so much. We would love to do this again and we discussed it and we will make sure to ask for you both again. I hope this isn't the last time we see you both. Stay awesome!!!
Much Love,
Tristan
Dustin and Alli -
We cannot thank you enough for everything you've done for our family this past week. There was not one detail that was overlooked - the amazing food, the wonderful itinerary and your hospitality has been something we will remember forever. Our family has never taken a trip like this on a boat, and now we are spoiled - don't think anything else can top it!
We are sad to go home, but are deeply appreciative for such a wonderful vacation. We hope to be back on La Sirena in the future!
Many Thanks,
Melanie, Laurence, May, Harry, Merritt, Lawson
Dear Dustin + Alli,
Thank you for a wonderful family vacation, we will have memories for a lifetime! The scuba diving was awesome and every mealtime and cocktail were tasty and a treat to look forward to. Thanks for feeding my boys! Each daily excursion was a blast and I hope to have a wonderful trip album. You both are enthusiastic and wonderful crew to have! The boys enjoyed all of the watersports and the freedom to drive the dinghy. A true paradise for teenagers (food + activities! 😀). And so many cool sea creatures...especially our nighttime tarpon watches.
Thank you!

Dear Dustin and Alli,
You guys made this trip unforgettable. It was fun trying new foods, there were many firsts on this boat, even if some of them were hard to believe (take the apple pie for example). Watching you two sail was pretty cool since I've never been on a boat with sails. This trip was the perfect vacation, from seeing all sorts of wildlife, to just laughing and having a good time together. We will cherish all the memories we had on this trip. My grandparents celebrating their 25th anniversary was made special. They got to look back 25 years ago and remember certain things they did. Thank you for making everything seem magical. And thank you Alli for making me and Wes separate dishes. My expectations were blown away. And thank you Dustin for doing your best to answer all our questions. Again, I'm so grateful for you two, it's been a wonderful time for my family!
Love,
Alexa and Wes
Captain Dustin + Alli,
You guys know the BVI like no one else. Great Job! Alli, you're a fantastic chef and made us feel comfortable.

Dear Dustin + Alli,
You are the best crew we have ever had 🙂. Our trip was exceptional! Alli, thank you for all the amazing meals. They were fresh, healthy, and the variety was so much fun. We did not want to eat onshore because we knew the best meals would be by Alli.
Dustin was so good at picking sites where we could both snorkel and dive at the same time. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to discover scuba.
Words cannot express how grateful we are for everything you did for us. We are so grateful to have met you both and hope to see you again some day.
With great appreciation,
Rhonda, Todd, Wendy, Charles, Robin and Troy
Dear Dustin & Alli,
We want to thank you for your exceptional service and so blessed to have shared a wonderful week exploring all that the BVI's has to offer. Dustin, the stops you took us to were so fun and Alli your meals were superb! We hope to run into you two again!
All the Best,

February 2024 BVI Charter
Dustin and Alli were an absolute delight to sail with. They were friendly and easy to talk to. They shared so much wonderful knowledge about many different topics with all the guests on board. They made everyone feel at home. From the time we stepped aboard until the time we departed, we were pampered. Dustin and Alli went above and beyond the call of duty. They are an outstanding couple and they do a great job.
La Sirena is a beautiful yacht. It was perfect for our group. It was spotless from top to bottom and well ventilated. Our rooms were made up every day and our bathrooms were cleaned. The towels were folded creatively and made a beautiful presentation as you entered the room as well. There were too many fabulous things on this yacht to have a favorite. We loved it all!
The food was not only delicious but it was presented beautifully. Alli is an amazing chef. I couldn’t tell you a favorite meal as each one was spectacular. They did a great job with our menu.
We happened to be celebrating our anniversaries while we were on the boat. Alli and Dustin decorated with banners, had heart shaped sunglasses, and red napkins that were folded into roses on our table. This made us feel so special. This is just one example of the many little extras Alli put forth to make her table settings gorgeous.
She’s a rock star!
Dustin’s itinerary was stellar! We did so many amazing things in the short time we were on board. He made this such a memorable time and did a phenomenal job adjusting our schedule for weather related things such as swells that might interfere with a certain location. The time and effort he spent on making our outings perfect was much appreciated. He is a great captain!
