Sharing the Love, Team Azulia
Captain Daniel grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and was raised by a family of passionate sailors. After attending college, serving in the military, and pursuing business he naturally gravitated towards his dreams of working and traveling on yachts. “When you
learn to do a job well, your work can become extremely rewarding” he says. Dan got his professional start at The Moorings BVI in 2015 and since has worked in the charter yacht industry for private businesses throughout the Caribbean and the Pacific. Having come from Colombian roots, family is something very special for Dan and he hopes to share that environment with the guests of Azulia.
Chef Sarah was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Cambridge, England where she dedicated herself to academic study and earned her Masters degree in Urban Planning. In her early 20s she had been pursuing a career in property development but found instead a passion for the Ocean that she couldn’t resist. Naturally finding herself in the position of yacht crew, Sarah worked in a variety of positions from deck hand to head chef on some of the biggest and most impressive super-yachts in the world. This brought Sarah’s hospitality experience to over 10 years, including time spent in the high end restaurant environment in England. In 2017 while climbing the ladder, Sarah earned her Yacht Masters Certificate and began to further apply herself in the direction of exploring the world through sailing as well as utilizing her innate passion for the culinary arts.
From the earliest memories of traveling as a family through the Mediterranean regions and on to South East Asia and Australia. Sarah developed a deep interested in cooking high end cuisine. A passion for food was born. She found that different cultures share a common tradition of community and intimacy around the dinner table. In her words “Food is not just about flavors and taste, It’s a memorable experience meant to be enjoyed with wine, laughter, and family.” Sarah adds a great amount of character, and energy to our guests, as we move forward together.
Dan and Sarah have been friends in the industry for many years and together make an incredibly dynamic and professional team with few limits. “We have the ability to relate to and connect with our guests in an authentically real way that people will love.” We love families and the exciting energy that kids of all ages bring with them on charter. We love sharing our passion for food, the ocean, sailing, and water-sports with guests who are interested in the adventures that come with chartering Azulia II. We promote a high end relaxed and still family friendly environment perfect for enjoying our little paradise in the Virgin Islands and beyond!
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

Thank you Letter to Pam & Graham after charter
Dear Pam & Graham,
We had an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS vacation on Azulia II!
The boat: PERFECT! Every creature comfort is available and it's spotless!
The crew: You two are an amazing team and make everything look effortless, which we know it's quite complex to make that happen. Kyle put it perfectly when he said everything is done organically. Pam's cooking is "to die for" and Graham's sailing skills always made us feel ultra safe!
Thank you both so much for making this week a truly memorable family vacation! :)

Overall Rating: 5
5 being the highest 0 being the lowest
We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
absolutely, We were looking for a balance of having the crew mingle with us and have our private moments. Pam and Graham did that perfectly They were friendly, accommodating, attentive and caring.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes. Everything we hoped and more. Spacious and clean. The flying bridge was a great place for apps and reading and sleeping.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes. The A/C was great and was turned on typically in the evenings and overnight.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
Yes. Everything was delicious and done to perfection, presentation was photo worthy (and we did take pics). Just the right amount of food. Beverages were abundant. If we ran out of something or didn't have it, it would magically appear.
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
Yes. Graham and Pam selected the itinerary based on our preferences and then modified it slightly to accommodate for weather/swells to ensure we had the best time possible
8. Additional comments on your charter? Everything was perfect I tell everyone what a great time we had and that this was the best..vacation... EVER - I would and do recommend this vacation and crew to everyone.
Pam and Graham were the perfect crew. They gave us the perfect amount of time for ourselves and the correct time to mingle with us. They were extremely caring. We made memories that will last for a life time. We can not express our thanks and our appreciation enough. When I first read the reviews as I was selecting a yacht and crew I had difficulty believing the glowing remarks, but now I am a believer.
9. When do you plan to charter next?
God willing...next year
Early February, 2017 guests on AZULIA 2 said:
Dear Pamela and Graham,
Now that we are home again and have time to remember and reflect on our week with you on Azulia from 4th - 11th February, I just wanted to contact you to thank you both for your wonderful help in the total enjoyment of our week. John and I loved everything about the boat and the care you gave us.
The meals are memorable, delicious and varied and wonderful to have such fresh and imaginative salads everyday, when at sea! We loved the quiet bays, the snorkelling and swimming everyday, it did us both a lot of good and we are so pleased to have had such a great opportunity on your lovely boat.
Your care and kindness when my blood testing kit died, it helped me relax and I have an appointment with my diabetic nurse next week to sort it out properly. Thank you for organising the lovely lobster supper and Champagne to welcome John to his 78th year!
All in all it was a superb week thank you and love from Anne and John.
AND...
Pam & Graham
I thought that I must send you our thanks for the great time we had with you last week. We arrived home yesterday to a very dreary England not much like the BVI although it is quite spring like today!! You both looked after us all in a terrific and unobtrusive way which is just what we all wanted. I have personally never been sailing before and done so little which at first seemed very strange but soon got used to it. Very many thanks to you both and Azulia which we all loved.
All the best for what ever the future holds for you both.

Graham was awesome and did a great job of captaining the boat while keeping our family entertained! Graham was always willing to do what ever was needed to make sure we were satisfied. The kids thoroughly enjoyed tubing and knee boarding whileGraham drove the boat. There was nothing more that Graham could have done to make our trip more enjoyable.
Pam was absolutely fantastic as well. She prepared some of the best meals that we have had and catered to our every need. She also was a great guide and pointed out thebest snorkeling spots in all of the islands that we visited. We hope to get some of Pam's recipes!
The Azulia 2 is an amazing boat that is pristine. The space on the boat is incredible and everyone on our trip always felt comfortable and had plenty of room to relax. The beds in the staterooms were awesome! I am trying to find the same mattress for my home!
We had a great itinerary recommended by Pam and Graham. We felt like we saw and did everything that we wanted to do while in the BVIs. There is plenty to do for everyone. My son and I loved the fishing! Almost caught a tarpon!
This was one of the best vacations that our family has ever taken! We can't wait to do it again.

Dear Graham and Pam,
This was truly one of the best trips we have ever been lucky enough to enjoy. Every meal was delicious and unique. You both were always available for our every whim. I will never forget paddleboarding, and I can now add that to my list of accomplishments. You both were more than our captain and chef...you became our friends.

This was the best vacation ever! Graham and Pam made it the trip of a lifetime and we hope to be back!

Very enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you for the wonderful week and the bog one that got away! One of our best vacations yet!
Feb 2018 guests from Nebraska said:
Fantastic, exceptional experience. So glad we chose the Azulia!
Would love to do it again soon!
Pam & Graham went above and beyond. They made sure we were well fed, comfortable, made fabulous drinks, and were very attentive to all of us! We enjoyed having them join us for fun evenings on the boat and for dinner one evening on shore and the Pirate Happy Hour another night. They were so good about getting us in & out of the dingy (which wasn’t always an easy task)! Seal Team 6!
Pam’s food was 5 star! We had to ask her to cut back on lunch because we were being so well fed! We were not disappointed in food, wine & drinks at all. They did pay close attention to our preferences and had all of our favorite types of drinks too!
Boat was spotless & in excellent condition. Our beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of different spaces on the boat to hang out. The fly bridge was a favorite card playing spot for the guys, our entertainment area in the evenings & great spot to all relax and hang out while we sailed. It was a great shady spot and we could go out front when we wanted sun. So many areas to hang out. It was fun to watch Graham/Pam sail to our next destination with their commentary of where we were and what we were seeing as we cruised along.
There was something new and fun each day and down time in between to relax.
What we liked the least was leaving!!
The experience was even better than we hoped for. It was a trip of a lifetime and we would love to go with Graham & Pam on the Azulia again!
Texas family aboard Azulia in March 2018:
We are planning on coming back! :)
5 stars all around!
We had an amazing family vacation on Azulia. We will miss Graham and Pam. May God bless you!

Low-key laid back week with an abundance of sea life - turtles, rays, squid, octopus... Great snorkeling! Not to mention guitars, amazing food, luxury service, chill vibes - we will be back!
The trip was fantastic! Thank you for going above and beyond to make our time together as a family SO very special!

Our trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Graham and Pam were wonderful. Pam is a talented chef and we thoroughly enjoyed each of our meals. Our family of eight, four parents and four “children”, ages 18-20, were ALL impressed! Visiting the virgin islands via catamaran was breathtaking... scenery, snorkeling, private beaches, island hopping, lobster dinner on the beach...

Broker provided feedback June 2019
How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?
We absolutely loved every minute of it. The 30-somethings on board (our kids and friends) kept saying each day “this is the best day of my life”. We had lots of laughter and relaxation on the cruise.
How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
Captains Pam and Graham were wonderful. They were experienced, attentive, courteous, very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the boat and the entire cruising area. They are very service oriented and seem to really love what they do. We had asked for Clayton to have the opportunity to take the helm at least once. Captain Graham was generous allowing Clayton to take the helm when we were under sail not just once but several times. He was there with Clayton at the helm to be hands-on from a safety point- of-view - but Clayton was steering the boat.
Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
Chef Pamela exceeded our expectations and fed us very well. She was careful to observe the one food issue we advised her of on our preference sheets (no nuts or seeds for one of our group) and provided us with all the beverage selection we asked for. She was very creative with her menus with a different series of breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. She also made sure she gave us foods we listed as personal favorites — like blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and homemade chocolate chip cookies — and lots of ice cream!! The food on shore was good but didn’t hold a candle to her cuisine. She even gave us a sushi dinner one night all made fresh - which we loved.
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade?
The Azulia II is beautifully maintained. We delighted in the spaciousness and the layout of the Lagoon 56 catamaran. All the staterooms were comfortable and well appointed. We loved having private showers and electric flush heads for each stateroom. We particularly appreciated the air conditioning for sleeping - but didn’t need it for the daytime when we were mostly either above deck or in the water. The layout of the boat was perfect for cruising and we made use of every space - forward and aft. There was always a breeze running so we were never hot - except when on shore, which we expected.
What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? If you could change anything, what would have made you happier?
We liked everything. There was nothing we didn’t like. We wouldn’t change a thing. We would do it all over again.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
The captains had laid out an itinerary which we followed pretty much to the letter which is what we had asked for. We enjoyed every place they took us and each new mooring spot had its own special identity. When a couple of us asked for one day to just be at a mooring most of the day swimming and snorkeling the captains were extremely flexible and accommodated us perfectly. They also knew we had some hikers in our group so they had researched several short hikes for us on land.
Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:
Yes - we would! No question.
May we use you as a reference?
Absolutely. We have already raved about your service and the Azulia II and crew to our friends and anyone who asks us how the trip went.
Additional Comments:
One thing we would make sure we brought with us next time is an underwater camera. Fortunately for us the Azulia II crew had one on board and we were able to borrow it and then download the pictures.

Captain Dan is a true professional and undoubtedly the best Captain my husband and I
have ever had the pleasure to sail with! His attention to all details was extremely superior!
He worked tirelessly to assure that every moment of our trip met our needs, including
requests for activities (such as diving, fishing, sightseeing) and specific locations to visit.
Captain Dan keeps a meticulously clean boat and also always put safety first on our
cruise. He is very personable and a pleasure to spend time with. We will definitely entrust
our vacation travels with him again in the future. -Lee T
.
THANK YOU, again, for a most delicious dinner tonight! It was wonderfully prepared,
perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. We all appreciated your kindness, your
culinary talent and your patience with our little ones. We hope our paths meet again, and we will certainly recommend you to any friends who may be visiting Maui.
The best of luck to you and your husband with your endeavors and travels.
With much gratitude, - Edna G.
Wonderful experience
Captain Dan & Chef Hazal where not just our hired crew, but an integral part of our
vacation family! They ensured we had a wonderful experience, delicious cocktails, lots of
laughs, and put up with our antics. I could not imagine the trip without the two of them!
Next time we sail we will bring them with us! -Christy R
Amazing honeymoon
Captain Dan was amazing for our honeymoon. He had complete command of the 48" cat
but more importantly made us feel very comfortable. His signature cocktail "walk in the
woods" is off the chain. Captain Dan also took us to a secluded beach and officiated us
exchanging our vows complete with him singing a special song for us. He knew the BVI's
extremely well and always had perfect recommendations for dinner or drinks on shore.
We highly endorse captain Dan. -Tim and Jenny M.
Fantastic job
Dan was our captain for a week long cruise in BVI on a Moorings boat and he did a
fantastic job for us. There were a lot of us and he far exceeded our expectations. Dan
really gets it when it comes to service. A couple of us wanted to learn more about sailing
and he was very good and patient while teaching us. He understood the area well and
really tried to accommodate all of our wishes. When we get ready for our next captained cruise, Dan will be the first guy I’ll call. Thanks, Dan!!! -Steve R
America's Cup charter
Dan and Hazal looked after us superbly during our week sailing in Bermuda for the
America's Cup. They brilliantly combine a perfect blend of professionalism,
thoughtfulness, care, sailing, cooking skills, friendliness, great story telling and relaxed
attitude that made our week probably the best sailing trip we have ever been on. Thank
you both - Can't wait to sail with you again! -Ali M
Coconut Fish
Chef Hazi is the best young Chef in Maui by far! We were a family of 8 and we have
Vegan, Gluten free, Pescatarian and a dairy free members in our family. Chef Hazi
prepared us a customized dinner menu and she did such a good job making everybody
happy in our family about the food that she prepared for us. PS, I would definitely
recommend you to try her Coconut Fish! - Margaux S

The entire trip was an experience of a lifetime.” Sean & Sarah (Dec 2020)
“Dan & Sarah make an awesome team to deliver an incredible experience! Everything was better than we all expected. Fabulous food, service & night snorkel. We will be back” - Nick (Dec 2020)
“The food was gourmet, the vacation gorgeous, the company delightful, loved every second!” Chad & Heather (Dec 2020)
“We enjoyed the variety of locations in the USVI and the progression of activities on the charter. We really appreciate the condition and the cleanliness of the yacht. The food was wonderful. Very professional and fun service.” Dave & Kaye (Dec 2020)
Dec 2020
My family and I had the very good fortune of having Danielle (Dani) Andrews as our chef on our Christmas charter to the BVI. She is an amazing chef, concocting beautifully presented, diverse, healthy and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner day after day. She is also very comfortable with dietary restrictions and able to adapt meals for everyone of them. But she’s not just a great chef, whose meals were comparable to those of any boutique luxury cruise line we’ve been on, she is also unbelievably calm, competent and composed even under the most adverse of circumstances, which unfortunately we were subjected to repeatedly through no fault of the crew. Finally, I would say that Dani is a warm, smart and generally lovely person who any charter company would be lucky to have on their staff.
Dec 2020
The chef/mate on our trip was Dani Andrews. The six of us were routinely amazed by the variety and quality of her food preparation. By our own choice, we ate all meal with the exception of one dinner and never were disappointed. To the contrary, all we could do was enjoy and ask for more which was readily provided.
Dec 2020
We came from Austin looking for a family Christmas vacation. Our amazing captain and chef delivered a Christmas week experience we will never forget. Our kids will be talking about this being the best trip we have ever taken. Dani was a phenomenal chef and so attentive and fun. We can't wait to come back. - Darin and Kari
Dec 2020
Captain Jacob and chef Dani offered us the trip of a lifetime. For our family of six ranging in age from 13-76. Snorkeling, sailing, diving, tubing, using the screecher for the first time, fishing, hiking, rock climbing, beach exploring make the trip great for everyone. The boat is tastefully and thoughtfully arranged as well as maintained beautifully. It was more than comfortable for all of us to stay for a week. Dani’s meals hit the spot and had the perfect proportions, worthy of a Michelin Star! We look forward to our next adventure!

Sharing the Love, Team Azulia
Captain Daniel grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and was raised by a family of passionate sailors. After attending college, serving in the military, and pursuing business he naturally gravitated towards his dreams of working and traveling on yachts. “When you
learn to do a job well, your work can become extremely rewarding” he says. Dan got his professional start at The Moorings BVI in 2015 and since has worked in the charter yacht industry for private businesses throughout the Caribbean and the Pacific. Having come from Colombian roots, family is something very special for Dan and he hopes to share that environment with the guests of Azulia.
Chef Sarah was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Cambridge, England where she dedicated herself to academic study and earned her Masters degree in Urban Planning. In her early 20s she had been pursuing a career in property development but found instead a passion for the Ocean that she couldn’t resist. Naturally finding herself in the position of yacht crew, Sarah worked in a variety of positions from deck hand to head chef on some of the biggest and most impressive super-yachts in the world. This brought Sarah’s hospitality experience to over 10 years, including time spent in the high end restaurant environment in England. In 2017 while climbing the ladder, Sarah earned her Yacht Masters Certificate and began to further apply herself in the direction of exploring the world through sailing as well as utilizing her innate passion for the culinary arts.
From the earliest memories of traveling as a family through the Mediterranean regions and on to South East Asia and Australia. Sarah developed a deep interested in cooking high end cuisine. A passion for food was born. She found that different cultures share a common tradition of community and intimacy around the dinner table. In her words “Food is not just about flavors and taste, It’s a memorable experience meant to be enjoyed with wine, laughter, and family.” Sarah adds a great amount of character, and energy to our guests, as we move forward together.
Dan and Sarah have been friends in the industry for many years and together make an incredibly dynamic and professional team with few limits. “We have the ability to relate to and connect with our guests in an authentically real way that people will love.” We love families and the exciting energy that kids of all ages bring with them on charter. We love sharing our passion for food, the ocean, sailing, and water-sports with guests who are interested in the adventures that come with chartering Azulia II. We promote a high end relaxed and still family friendly environment perfect for enjoying our little paradise in the Virgin Islands and beyond!
We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

The crew: You two are an amazing team and make everything look effortless, which we know it's quite complex to make that happen. Kyle put it perfectly when he said everything is done organically. Pam's cooking is "to die for" and Graham's sailing skills always made us feel ultra safe!
Thank you both so much for making this week a truly memorable family vacation! :)

We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
absolutely, We were looking for a balance of having the crew mingle with us and have our private moments. Pam and Graham did that perfectly They were friendly, accommodating, attentive and caring.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes. Everything we hoped and more. Spacious and clean. The flying bridge was a great place for apps and reading and sleeping.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes. The A/C was great and was turned on typically in the evenings and overnight.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
Yes. Everything was delicious and done to perfection, presentation was photo worthy (and we did take pics). Just the right amount of food. Beverages were abundant. If we ran out of something or didn't have it, it would magically appear.
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
Yes. Graham and Pam selected the itinerary based on our preferences and then modified it slightly to accommodate for weather/swells to ensure we had the best time possible
8. Additional comments on your charter? Everything was perfect I tell everyone what a great time we had and that this was the best..vacation... EVER - I would and do recommend this vacation and crew to everyone.
Pam and Graham were the perfect crew. They gave us the perfect amount of time for ourselves and the correct time to mingle with us. They were extremely caring. We made memories that will last for a life time. We can not express our thanks and our appreciation enough. When I first read the reviews as I was selecting a yacht and crew I had difficulty believing the glowing remarks, but now I am a believer.
9. When do you plan to charter next?
God willing...next year

Dear Pamela and Graham,
Now that we are home again and have time to remember and reflect on our week with you on Azulia from 4th - 11th February, I just wanted to contact you to thank you both for your wonderful help in the total enjoyment of our week. John and I loved everything about the boat and the care you gave us.
The meals are memorable, delicious and varied and wonderful to have such fresh and imaginative salads everyday, when at sea! We loved the quiet bays, the snorkelling and swimming everyday, it did us both a lot of good and we are so pleased to have had such a great opportunity on your lovely boat.
Your care and kindness when my blood testing kit died, it helped me relax and I have an appointment with my diabetic nurse next week to sort it out properly. Thank you for organising the lovely lobster supper and Champagne to welcome John to his 78th year!
All in all it was a superb week thank you and love from Anne and John.
AND...
Pam & Graham
I thought that I must send you our thanks for the great time we had with you last week. We arrived home yesterday to a very dreary England not much like the BVI although it is quite spring like today!! You both looked after us all in a terrific and unobtrusive way which is just what we all wanted. I have personally never been sailing before and done so little which at first seemed very strange but soon got used to it. Very many thanks to you both and Azulia which we all loved.
All the best for what ever the future holds for you both.

Graham was awesome and did a great job of captaining the boat while keeping our family entertained! Graham was always willing to do what ever was needed to make sure we were satisfied. The kids thoroughly enjoyed tubing and knee boarding whileGraham drove the boat. There was nothing more that Graham could have done to make our trip more enjoyable.
Pam was absolutely fantastic as well. She prepared some of the best meals that we have had and catered to our every need. She also was a great guide and pointed out thebest snorkeling spots in all of the islands that we visited. We hope to get some of Pam's recipes!
The Azulia 2 is an amazing boat that is pristine. The space on the boat is incredible and everyone on our trip always felt comfortable and had plenty of room to relax. The beds in the staterooms were awesome! I am trying to find the same mattress for my home!
We had a great itinerary recommended by Pam and Graham. We felt like we saw and did everything that we wanted to do while in the BVIs. There is plenty to do for everyone. My son and I loved the fishing! Almost caught a tarpon!
This was one of the best vacations that our family has ever taken! We can't wait to do it again.

Dear Graham and Pam,
This was truly one of the best trips we have ever been lucky enough to enjoy. Every meal was delicious and unique. You both were always available for our every whim. I will never forget paddleboarding, and I can now add that to my list of accomplishments. You both were more than our captain and chef...you became our friends.

Very enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you for the wonderful week and the bog one that got away! One of our best vacations yet!
Feb 2018 guests from Nebraska said:
Fantastic, exceptional experience. So glad we chose the Azulia!
Would love to do it again soon!
Pam & Graham went above and beyond. They made sure we were well fed, comfortable, made fabulous drinks, and were very attentive to all of us! We enjoyed having them join us for fun evenings on the boat and for dinner one evening on shore and the Pirate Happy Hour another night. They were so good about getting us in & out of the dingy (which wasn’t always an easy task)! Seal Team 6!
Pam’s food was 5 star! We had to ask her to cut back on lunch because we were being so well fed! We were not disappointed in food, wine & drinks at all. They did pay close attention to our preferences and had all of our favorite types of drinks too!
Boat was spotless & in excellent condition. Our beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of different spaces on the boat to hang out. The fly bridge was a favorite card playing spot for the guys, our entertainment area in the evenings & great spot to all relax and hang out while we sailed. It was a great shady spot and we could go out front when we wanted sun. So many areas to hang out. It was fun to watch Graham/Pam sail to our next destination with their commentary of where we were and what we were seeing as we cruised along.
There was something new and fun each day and down time in between to relax.
What we liked the least was leaving!!
The experience was even better than we hoped for. It was a trip of a lifetime and we would love to go with Graham & Pam on the Azulia again!
Texas family aboard Azulia in March 2018:

The trip was fantastic! Thank you for going above and beyond to make our time together as a family SO very special!

Our trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Graham and Pam were wonderful. Pam is a talented chef and we thoroughly enjoyed each of our meals. Our family of eight, four parents and four “children”, ages 18-20, were ALL impressed! Visiting the virgin islands via catamaran was breathtaking... scenery, snorkeling, private beaches, island hopping, lobster dinner on the beach...

Broker provided feedback June 2019
How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?
We absolutely loved every minute of it. The 30-somethings on board (our kids and friends) kept saying each day “this is the best day of my life”. We had lots of laughter and relaxation on the cruise.
How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
Captains Pam and Graham were wonderful. They were experienced, attentive, courteous, very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the boat and the entire cruising area. They are very service oriented and seem to really love what they do. We had asked for Clayton to have the opportunity to take the helm at least once. Captain Graham was generous allowing Clayton to take the helm when we were under sail not just once but several times. He was there with Clayton at the helm to be hands-on from a safety point- of-view - but Clayton was steering the boat.
Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
Chef Pamela exceeded our expectations and fed us very well. She was careful to observe the one food issue we advised her of on our preference sheets (no nuts or seeds for one of our group) and provided us with all the beverage selection we asked for. She was very creative with her menus with a different series of breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. She also made sure she gave us foods we listed as personal favorites — like blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup and homemade chocolate chip cookies — and lots of ice cream!! The food on shore was good but didn’t hold a candle to her cuisine. She even gave us a sushi dinner one night all made fresh - which we loved.
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade?
The Azulia II is beautifully maintained. We delighted in the spaciousness and the layout of the Lagoon 56 catamaran. All the staterooms were comfortable and well appointed. We loved having private showers and electric flush heads for each stateroom. We particularly appreciated the air conditioning for sleeping - but didn’t need it for the daytime when we were mostly either above deck or in the water. The layout of the boat was perfect for cruising and we made use of every space - forward and aft. There was always a breeze running so we were never hot - except when on shore, which we expected.
What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? If you could change anything, what would have made you happier?
We liked everything. There was nothing we didn’t like. We wouldn’t change a thing. We would do it all over again.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
The captains had laid out an itinerary which we followed pretty much to the letter which is what we had asked for. We enjoyed every place they took us and each new mooring spot had its own special identity. When a couple of us asked for one day to just be at a mooring most of the day swimming and snorkeling the captains were extremely flexible and accommodated us perfectly. They also knew we had some hikers in our group so they had researched several short hikes for us on land.
Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:
Yes - we would! No question.
May we use you as a reference?
Absolutely. We have already raved about your service and the Azulia II and crew to our friends and anyone who asks us how the trip went.
Additional Comments:
One thing we would make sure we brought with us next time is an underwater camera. Fortunately for us the Azulia II crew had one on board and we were able to borrow it and then download the pictures.

Captain Dan is a true professional and undoubtedly the best Captain my husband and I
have ever had the pleasure to sail with! His attention to all details was extremely superior!
He worked tirelessly to assure that every moment of our trip met our needs, including
requests for activities (such as diving, fishing, sightseeing) and specific locations to visit.
Captain Dan keeps a meticulously clean boat and also always put safety first on our
cruise. He is very personable and a pleasure to spend time with. We will definitely entrust
our vacation travels with him again in the future. -Lee T

THANK YOU, again, for a most delicious dinner tonight! It was wonderfully prepared,
perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. We all appreciated your kindness, your
culinary talent and your patience with our little ones. We hope our paths meet again, and we will certainly recommend you to any friends who may be visiting Maui.
The best of luck to you and your husband with your endeavors and travels.
With much gratitude, - Edna G.
Wonderful experience
Captain Dan & Chef Hazal where not just our hired crew, but an integral part of our
vacation family! They ensured we had a wonderful experience, delicious cocktails, lots of
laughs, and put up with our antics. I could not imagine the trip without the two of them!
Next time we sail we will bring them with us! -Christy R
Amazing honeymoon
Captain Dan was amazing for our honeymoon. He had complete command of the 48" cat
but more importantly made us feel very comfortable. His signature cocktail "walk in the
woods" is off the chain. Captain Dan also took us to a secluded beach and officiated us
exchanging our vows complete with him singing a special song for us. He knew the BVI's
extremely well and always had perfect recommendations for dinner or drinks on shore.
We highly endorse captain Dan. -Tim and Jenny M.
Fantastic job
Dan was our captain for a week long cruise in BVI on a Moorings boat and he did a
fantastic job for us. There were a lot of us and he far exceeded our expectations. Dan
really gets it when it comes to service. A couple of us wanted to learn more about sailing
and he was very good and patient while teaching us. He understood the area well and
really tried to accommodate all of our wishes. When we get ready for our next captained cruise, Dan will be the first guy I’ll call. Thanks, Dan!!! -Steve R
America's Cup charter
Dan and Hazal looked after us superbly during our week sailing in Bermuda for the
America's Cup. They brilliantly combine a perfect blend of professionalism,
thoughtfulness, care, sailing, cooking skills, friendliness, great story telling and relaxed
attitude that made our week probably the best sailing trip we have ever been on. Thank
you both - Can't wait to sail with you again! -Ali M
Coconut Fish
Chef Hazi is the best young Chef in Maui by far! We were a family of 8 and we have
Vegan, Gluten free, Pescatarian and a dairy free members in our family. Chef Hazi
prepared us a customized dinner menu and she did such a good job making everybody
happy in our family about the food that she prepared for us. PS, I would definitely
recommend you to try her Coconut Fish! - Margaux S

My family and I had the very good fortune of having Danielle (Dani) Andrews as our chef on our Christmas charter to the BVI. She is an amazing chef, concocting beautifully presented, diverse, healthy and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner day after day. She is also very comfortable with dietary restrictions and able to adapt meals for everyone of them. But she’s not just a great chef, whose meals were comparable to those of any boutique luxury cruise line we’ve been on, she is also unbelievably calm, competent and composed even under the most adverse of circumstances, which unfortunately we were subjected to repeatedly through no fault of the crew. Finally, I would say that Dani is a warm, smart and generally lovely person who any charter company would be lucky to have on their staff.
Dec 2020
The chef/mate on our trip was Dani Andrews. The six of us were routinely amazed by the variety and quality of her food preparation. By our own choice, we ate all meal with the exception of one dinner and never were disappointed. To the contrary, all we could do was enjoy and ask for more which was readily provided.
Dec 2020
We came from Austin looking for a family Christmas vacation. Our amazing captain and chef delivered a Christmas week experience we will never forget. Our kids will be talking about this being the best trip we have ever taken. Dani was a phenomenal chef and so attentive and fun. We can't wait to come back. - Darin and Kari
Dec 2020
Captain Jacob and chef Dani offered us the trip of a lifetime. For our family of six ranging in age from 13-76. Snorkeling, sailing, diving, tubing, using the screecher for the first time, fishing, hiking, rock climbing, beach exploring make the trip great for everyone. The boat is tastefully and thoughtfully arranged as well as maintained beautifully. It was more than comfortable for all of us to stay for a week. Dani’s meals hit the spot and had the perfect proportions, worthy of a Michelin Star! We look forward to our next adventure!
