Adventure Us was a great choice for us, and ended up being a great boat, but the trip was made by Anna and Bram. The two of them could not have fit more perfectly with our group, and they stopped at nothing to make this an unforgettable adventure. It pains me that I have to eat dinner tonight that will be prepared by hands other than Anna’s. We were pretty open with our preference sheet, but Anna cooked multiple dishes that are personal favorites of mine (scallops and gnocchi, carbonara pasta, eggs Benedict, poke bowls, and sea bass), and delivered the best versions I’ve had of them anywhere in the world, from a 120 square foot kitchen. Their kindness and talents made this trip what it was. I rarely leave reviews, but in this case, they deserve the highest praise that I have to give. I truly tell you that I type this with watery eyes due to the effort they put forth to make our trip unforgettable.
Thank you for all that you did to make this trip perfect, and for the ease with which it appeared to come off. I know enough to know that nothing is that easy, and your team made it seem so.
Cheers, Michael
Couldn't be happier...
This is my third trip with Bram and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He is an amazing skipper and very knowledgeable. He always makes sure to keep us safe first, but also makes sure we are having fun. He is super friendly, funny and skilled. I can’t wait for my next trip with him!
Super experience...
They were awesome! Super experience!
Bram was awesome – he took time to teach everyone the basics, always got us involved, and made us feel so welcome. Truly one of the best and I’m so glad we got to meet him this week!
Best skipper...
Bram is the best skipper. This is my third time having him and already have him booked for Tahiti in April!!!! He makes us feel safe while having the best time as well. Everyone needs a BRAM in their life.
Awesome...
Bram was awesome. From the moment we got on the boat I knew we were in good hands. It started with getting serious and talking about our crews safety and his safety. The most important rule of all was to have fun — we did exactly that!! I will definitely be doing another yacht week in the future and will request Bram every chance I get! PROST!
Anna is a gem...
Anna is a gem. her food not only tastes but looks incredible. it made all my friends jealous who didn’t get to experience her cooking. one of the best parts of this trip was talking to anna about everything going on. she is so kind, enthusiastic, and encouraging.
Amazing chef...
AMAZING chef!! Her dishes were always delicious and beautifully displayed. She took great care in making accommodations for food restrictions. She kept the boat tidy and helped us plan our activities!
Food was amazing...
Food was amazing and she never forgot about dietary restrictions. worked around our different tastes but none of the meals fell flat, they were all phenomenal and she was so much fun.
THE BEST...
Anna was THE BEST. Her food not only tasted amazing but her presentation every single day was beautiful. She also always brought the energy and made sure we were having a blast. Truly don’t think we would have survived the week without her.
Best food...
Anna was the best hostess. She made the best food and it was so great to wake up to the most amazing breakfast and lunches every day. I would recommend Anna to any future yacht week groups, she was beyond amazing!
Absolute best...
Anna was hands down the most incredible hostess and again I don’t think anyone else on yacht week could have had a better one. She is insanely talented, hardworking, and perfect at her job. She always had wonderful, tasty meals ready for us and anticipated our hunger before we could. Every time she set the table, we knew that we were about to have an amazing food experience. She was actually better than every restaurant we tried during yacht week. Anna is a wonderful conversationalist. She’s friendly and easy to talk to. It felt like having another friend on board. She is the absolute best!!!!
On top...
Anna is great. She was on top of the groups needs and dietary restrictions. I wasn’t sure what to expect heading into the week food wise on the boat. Anna cooked up a wide array of delicious meals that far exceeded my expectations. Her cooking was amazing and definitely was on the of the highlights of the week.
Was a dream...
Anna was a dream of a host – an incredible chef, clean, on top of the everything and very helpful. She’s also an amazing human and so funny and kind!
Just amazing...
Sweet Anna was just amazing! Being from New Orleans we have a special love for food and her food was delicious. She has such a love for cooking and takes pride in providing the best food experience. She has great time management skills and was always on time with the meals. She is just well beyond her years with her knowledge of food. On top of all this greatness and is such a sweet and loving person. It was so nice not to have to worry about cooking. I would highly recommend a hostess to yachters who are looking to skip this option. It was also nice not having to clean or do dishes. We would request her every time! –Craig and Lindsay Steltz

Emma and Mitch,
Thank you for a magical week in the BVI. You shared an amazing experience with our family. The beauty, the laughter, just the sheer joy of enjoying life – building memories. We loved the hikes, snorkeling, amazing food and cocktails and friendship. We got to meet many animal friends along the trip – Billy, Crush (sea turtles), our bird friend with the pierced bill and the cigarette smoking tarpon. AMAZING ADVENTURE! YOU BOTH IMPROVED OUR LIVES!
Love Trent, Kim, Hope, Hanna and Katie

We all just returned from our week through the Exumas. Our expectations preparing for the trip were extremely high without question. Those expectations were exceeded in every manner. The vessel was spacious and comfortable. Food was abundant and delicious, nightly anchorages were interesting and offered great opportunities for snorkeling and swimming in virtually crystal clear waters. We used and enjoyed all the water toys on board. We collected king conch and Emma made delicious conch fritters and ceviche. Mitch and Emma are the perfect crew for Soul Mates. Both are delightful people and experts at what they do. They had suggested an itinerary, explained it and were willing to adjust it if necessary. We are not an easy group to feed as a group of eight including kids with various taste preferences, peanuts, and gluten, allergies, etc., Emma mastered the task completely! Every day offered a new adventure - we swam with pigs, played with the Nurse sharks at Compass Cay, saw the iguanas, snorkeled Pablo Escobar ‘s plane wreck and one night in Staniel Cay. We all went out for dinner at the restaurant at the yacht club, it too was a treat! The best gathering spots on Soul Mates is the upper deck. The views are great, the breezes auxiliary and my grandkids on most nights elected to sleep on the comfortable cushions on deck under the stars as we got lucky with perfect weather. Exumas are just amazing and interesting as it offers so much without venturing out into open ocean, which ensured calm seas. We collectively had a world-class family vacation that we will never forget. Please let the owner of the Soul Mates know what a tremendous asset his new crew. They are literally the best!!!
Thanks to you for helping us plan this trip and pointing us in the right directions regards, Mickey

"Adventure Us was fantastic! We did indeed have a great time! Mason and Zoe were great, food was awesome! First time on the BVI side so saw all the crowd favorites and they didn’t disappoint. Love the yacht...layout was fantastic, very spacious, new and clean! Can’t say enough good things about the trip, everyone had a great time! Thank you again!"

"We just returned from an amazing week long trip on Adventureus. Zoe and Mason were both incredible and made the week one we'll never forget! The meals that Zoe created were beyond delicious. They were some of the best meals I've ever had, we probably would only do two meals a day instead of three next time. We never wanted to skip a meal because every one was out of this world! Mason was a wonderful captain and Zoe a great second mate. We felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time. The boat was very spacious and comfortable with plenty of space to be in the sun or out of the sun. Zoe and Mason were funny and personable and really made the trip! We look forward to another trip on Adventureus in the future!

"We recently vacationed on Adventure Us with two other couples throughout the US Virgin Islands. This yacht is brand new and absolutely beautiful. It has four guest cabins and feels so spacious. The best part though was our fabulous crew of Captain Mason and First Mate Zoe! Mason was so knowledgeable about the islands and the local lore and is an incredible sailor as well. Several of the days we spent hours sailing in the open waters. Zoe is a culinary school trained chef that made some of the most terrific meals for us. The three of us couples plan on chartering this same yacht again in two years to explore the British Virgin Islands."
December 2023
"We truly enjoyed our 'Adventure Us' vacation hosted by Captain Mason, first mate and chef, Zoe! Zoe's culinary meals kept us amazingly well fed and totally surprised at each meal. Mason was extremely knowledgeable on working the boat and pointed out many interests along our excursion. They both worked incredibly well together insuring safety and well being of their guests! Thank you both for one of our most treasured adventures!

Zoe - Your cooking was outstanding and utterly scrumptious. Thank you for your hard and often quite hot work keeping us all so well fed. I could eat that key lime pie and poké bowl forever, though not mixed together that would be gross. Again, thank you for tasty food and good jokes.

Adventure Us was a great choice for us, and ended up being a great boat, but the trip was made by Anna and Bram. The two of them could not have fit more perfectly with our group, and they stopped at nothing to make this an unforgettable adventure. It pains me that I have to eat dinner tonight that will be prepared by hands other than Anna’s. We were pretty open with our preference sheet, but Anna cooked multiple dishes that are personal favorites of mine (scallops and gnocchi, carbonara pasta, eggs Benedict, poke bowls, and sea bass), and delivered the best versions I’ve had of them anywhere in the world, from a 120 square foot kitchen. Their kindness and talents made this trip what it was. I rarely leave reviews, but in this case, they deserve the highest praise that I have to give. I truly tell you that I type this with watery eyes due to the effort they put forth to make our trip unforgettable.

AMAZING chef!! Her dishes were always delicious and beautifully displayed. She took great care in making accommodations for food restrictions. She kept the boat tidy and helped us plan our activities!
Food was amazing...
Food was amazing and she never forgot about dietary restrictions. worked around our different tastes but none of the meals fell flat, they were all phenomenal and she was so much fun.
THE BEST...
Anna was THE BEST. Her food not only tasted amazing but her presentation every single day was beautiful. She also always brought the energy and made sure we were having a blast. Truly don’t think we would have survived the week without her.
Best food...
Anna was the best hostess. She made the best food and it was so great to wake up to the most amazing breakfast and lunches every day. I would recommend Anna to any future yacht week groups, she was beyond amazing!
Absolute best...
Anna was hands down the most incredible hostess and again I don’t think anyone else on yacht week could have had a better one. She is insanely talented, hardworking, and perfect at her job. She always had wonderful, tasty meals ready for us and anticipated our hunger before we could. Every time she set the table, we knew that we were about to have an amazing food experience. She was actually better than every restaurant we tried during yacht week. Anna is a wonderful conversationalist. She’s friendly and easy to talk to. It felt like having another friend on board. She is the absolute best!!!!
On top...
Anna is great. She was on top of the groups needs and dietary restrictions. I wasn’t sure what to expect heading into the week food wise on the boat. Anna cooked up a wide array of delicious meals that far exceeded my expectations. Her cooking was amazing and definitely was on the of the highlights of the week.
Was a dream...
Anna was a dream of a host – an incredible chef, clean, on top of the everything and very helpful. She’s also an amazing human and so funny and kind!
Just amazing...
Sweet Anna was just amazing! Being from New Orleans we have a special love for food and her food was delicious. She has such a love for cooking and takes pride in providing the best food experience. She has great time management skills and was always on time with the meals. She is just well beyond her years with her knowledge of food. On top of all this greatness and is such a sweet and loving person. It was so nice not to have to worry about cooking. I would highly recommend a hostess to yachters who are looking to skip this option. It was also nice not having to clean or do dishes. We would request her every time! –Craig and Lindsay Steltz

Emma and Mitch,
Thank you for a magical week in the BVI. You shared an amazing experience with our family. The beauty, the laughter, just the sheer joy of enjoying life – building memories. We loved the hikes, snorkeling, amazing food and cocktails and friendship. We got to meet many animal friends along the trip – Billy, Crush (sea turtles), our bird friend with the pierced bill and the cigarette smoking tarpon. AMAZING ADVENTURE! YOU BOTH IMPROVED OUR LIVES!
Love Trent, Kim, Hope, Hanna and Katie

We all just returned from our week through the Exumas. Our expectations preparing for the trip were extremely high without question. Those expectations were exceeded in every manner. The vessel was spacious and comfortable. Food was abundant and delicious, nightly anchorages were interesting and offered great opportunities for snorkeling and swimming in virtually crystal clear waters. We used and enjoyed all the water toys on board. We collected king conch and Emma made delicious conch fritters and ceviche. Mitch and Emma are the perfect crew for Soul Mates. Both are delightful people and experts at what they do. They had suggested an itinerary, explained it and were willing to adjust it if necessary. We are not an easy group to feed as a group of eight including kids with various taste preferences, peanuts, and gluten, allergies, etc., Emma mastered the task completely! Every day offered a new adventure - we swam with pigs, played with the Nurse sharks at Compass Cay, saw the iguanas, snorkeled Pablo Escobar ‘s plane wreck and one night in Staniel Cay. We all went out for dinner at the restaurant at the yacht club, it too was a treat! The best gathering spots on Soul Mates is the upper deck. The views are great, the breezes auxiliary and my grandkids on most nights elected to sleep on the comfortable cushions on deck under the stars as we got lucky with perfect weather. Exumas are just amazing and interesting as it offers so much without venturing out into open ocean, which ensured calm seas. We collectively had a world-class family vacation that we will never forget. Please let the owner of the Soul Mates know what a tremendous asset his new crew. They are literally the best!!!
Thanks to you for helping us plan this trip and pointing us in the right directions regards, Mickey

"We just returned from an amazing week long trip on Adventureus. Zoe and Mason were both incredible and made the week one we'll never forget! The meals that Zoe created were beyond delicious. They were some of the best meals I've ever had, we probably would only do two meals a day instead of three next time. We never wanted to skip a meal because every one was out of this world! Mason was a wonderful captain and Zoe a great second mate. We felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time. The boat was very spacious and comfortable with plenty of space to be in the sun or out of the sun. Zoe and Mason were funny and personable and really made the trip! We look forward to another trip on Adventureus in the future!

"We recently vacationed on Adventure Us with two other couples throughout the US Virgin Islands. This yacht is brand new and absolutely beautiful. It has four guest cabins and feels so spacious. The best part though was our fabulous crew of Captain Mason and First Mate Zoe! Mason was so knowledgeable about the islands and the local lore and is an incredible sailor as well. Several of the days we spent hours sailing in the open waters. Zoe is a culinary school trained chef that made some of the most terrific meals for us. The three of us couples plan on chartering this same yacht again in two years to explore the British Virgin Islands."

"We truly enjoyed our 'Adventure Us' vacation hosted by Captain Mason, first mate and chef, Zoe! Zoe's culinary meals kept us amazingly well fed and totally surprised at each meal. Mason was extremely knowledgeable on working the boat and pointed out many interests along our excursion. They both worked incredibly well together insuring safety and well being of their guests! Thank you both for one of our most treasured adventures!

Zoe - Your cooking was outstanding and utterly scrumptious. Thank you for your hard and often quite hot work keeping us all so well fed. I could eat that key lime pie and poké bowl forever, though not mixed together that would be gross. Again, thank you for tasty food and good jokes.
