Nick gave us a lot of options and chances for input but he had pretty well learned what we were looking for, so had a great master plan to start with. We followed his basic plan and adapted as needed. It is hard to fit in as many activities as we did, but it worked out very well.
Nick is the easy going skipper that everyone likes, but behind his easy going attitude, he has a master plan with all the details and lots of skills to be self sufficient. Because of that, everything was both fun and smooth and comfortable.
Amy is perfectly pleasant, a wonderful hostess, and an amazing chef. We are a family of foodies and she impressed us all day after day with unexpected delights. She also kept the boat meticulously clean and cheery.
The two of them work extremely well together and are an excellent role model. They did the work of four people and made it look easy. I’m not just saying that.
The food and beverages went way beyond expectations and I don’t say that lightly. The little touches make a huge difference and both Nick and Amy have considerable skills in that area and don’t just follow a recipe. They adapt to their ingredients and conditions to make things that just feel right. I have experience other “good” crews before, but they are special.
Essentially every wish was granted unless a specific item or ingredient could not be found in the BVI and then Nick and Amy would come up with a better alternative and teach us something. It’s not a good day unless you learn something new. All of our days were good. All of our experiences were great. Nick and Amy became like old friends.
It was my third charter in BVI, my wife’s second charter and our kids first. We honeymooned in BVI 37 years prior and it was the best experience of our lives, which we wanted our kids to experience. This recent charter is now the new best.
I would recommend this crew to anybody, especially if you are adventurous, as the extra diving skills and activities are hard to find. If you are not particularly adventurous in the water, the cruise in paradise with fantastic food is still amazing.
~Frank
We had one of our people that had a aversion to spicy. Stephanie made him a separate version of the same thing we all had to make sure he was happy. She took some food allergies for others and designed the menu around them. Again off the hook! I would put her up against some of the best chefs! We will be hard pressed to find a better crew. They work so well together, totally seamless and effortlessly.
Absolute best cruise yet from our many years of cruising! Can't wait to come back! You guys are the absolute best! You made a special family trip even better! Can't thank you enough for all your hospitality! May you both be blessed!!

They are amazing taking care of every need, want and thought – they listen and try to do What they can to make the trip perfect and he succeeded at every turn. This was a special trip for Bob and Norma and it became a trip of a lifetime for all of us. We are forever grateful and this will stay in our memories forever!
Thank you for exceeding expectations on every level. This bucket list trip was almost never happened was so many obstacles thrown away. We were positively thrilled when we actually stepped on board Ventana. And the thrills, surprises, and moments never stopped after we landed. Thank you Stephanie Kevin for everything. You are the best crew we could have asked for. Everything was outstanding! Meals were five star. Experience was six star! Hugs!
