Rosie Kirk
Nation: British
Born: 1992
License: Ashburton | RYA Yacht Master
Rosie & Adam met in Croatia whilst both working as Yacht Captains. Their personal and professional relationships blossomed and they became the ultimate Crewed Yacht Team.
Adam grew up in Lancashire and was lucky to get into Dinghy Sailing from a young age. After completing his degree in International Computer Science, he soon realized that “office life” was not for him. Adam enjoyed the outdoor life and worked as a Watersports Instructor in the Mediterranean. Adam moved into the yachting industry in 2015 and worked as a Captain and Yacht Team Manager. He spent many years combining his summers working on yachts with winters’ managing hotels and bars in European Ski resorts. His love of cocktails blossomed here.
Rosie lives in Cowes, Isle of Wight, the home to UK sailing and therefore has been very fortunate to spend all of her life on the water. Rosie studied Fashion at University, however, was always drawn back to the sea! After Rosie completed her Yachtmaster Offshore in 2017, she decided to take a few months out of her office job to work as a Yacht Captain in Croatia, this was the moment Rosie knew a career in Yachting was for her! Rosie attended Professional Yacht Chef Training at Ashburton Chefs Academy and now uses her creativity in her food where she loves to use fresh and local ingredients whenever she can. During COVID times Rosie kept herself busy with a 16 week online pastry course and went on to write and publish her first cookbook app “Baking on Boats”
Rosie & Adam have been sailing the BVI since 2019 and now fondly call it home. They love to combine their love of adventure and passion for food which then creates an unforgettable experience for all guests who choose to travel with them.

Guest comments for Adam and Rosie from 2023/24 season
Rosie and Adam are the best! Rosie prepares the most delicious meals, this combined with the gorgeous scenery of the BVI and wonderful time with friends is the recipe for the best vacation ever! I hope to be back soon!
Lani
Such an amazing trip. The boat is beautiful and so comfortable. Adam and Rosie make your stay so incredible - the cocktails, the food and the best ambience! I will be back with my family next time. ❤️
Rachel
I had the best time on Unwavering!! Adam and Rosie are amazing hosts with delicious food, fun toys and incredible knowledge about sailing and the BVI. Rosie’s gluten free creations for myself were out of this world and Adams guided hike was spectacular where we saw 100’d of butterflies! I would love to come back with my family!!

This has truly been one of the best trips we have ever been on as a family! Adam and Rosie went over and above to make it so special and fun, creating memories which we will cherish forever.
Rosie is an unbelievable chef and her dishes, apps and cocktails were the most delicious, from lamb to sea bass to grouper tacos every meal was perfect.
Adam was always making sure we had all the toys ready for ocean fun. The flite board, sea scooters and snorkelling were awesome.
[Yacht} is gorgeous and our family is so blessed to have been able to spend Christmas week in the BVI with Adam and Rosie. We will definitely be back!!
BEST FAMILY TRIP!!

Once again, you’ve given us a once in a lifetime trip. I would say we never want to sail with anyone else, but (dang it) you’ve gone and sailed into a much deserved retirement. Starting and ending this season with you was such a treat. At the end of the day, we truly consider you both lifelong friends.
I really hope we can see y’all again. Our lives are truly better having met you.
All our love and thank you for some of the best times of our lives,
LC & Chris
Easter 2024
Thank you again for a trip of a lifetime! We absolutely love our vacations with you! We are so blessed that we got to do this amazing trip with you all again for Caden’s last Spring Break before he goes to UF! Thank you both for being the best and most patient with me when it comes to diving! Our family dives are always a great memory!
From the dives, the snorkeling, The Baths, beaches, Hobie Cats (Thanks Travis for the sailing lessons!), dinner at the Bitter End, and all the spicy margaritas - you both made this trip the best! Please let us know when you are back captaining again - we will be back!
Love,
Jonna, Ken, Chase, Caden Harris

Dear Travis and Miss Missy,
What a privilege to sail and motor around the BVI’s together. What a treat to learn more about you both. The boat was impeccable. The food was not just delicious and healthy, but also stress free with my complicated allergies.
Thank you for the diving adventures in places so special to see. Thank you for the company and conversation. Thank you for the island excursions to see iguanas and flamingos. Each day was filled with making lasting memories.
We look forward to a lifetime of friendship and more memories to come.
Cheers to health, love, safety ,and a loong life of adventures!

Captains Travis and Missy,
Three words… IT WAS AWESOME! Thank you for showing us so many beautiful places both above and under the water and for tailoring our activities to ensure that all of us had an amazing time. This is an experience that none of us will forget. It has been such a pleasure to get to know you both. If you ever find yourselves in Annapolis, we would love to return your hospitality.
It will take me another 70 years to ever be able to come up to the standards of such a magnificent 70th Birthday Celebration. We were in such good, kind, and caring hands and we felt so safe. The wine pairings were such a treat and learning experience. I had so much fun and can’t thank you enough for everything!

Guest review March 1, 2024 Ebb and Flow
Our holiday on the Ebb & Flow was off the charts exceptional. The boat is in perfect condition. It’s clean, functional, efficient, well laid out and so comfortable. It’s just fun to be on it. Missy & Travis (our captains) are perhaps even more exceptional than the boat itself. Their years and years of experience shines through and they make everything they do look effortless. They knew what to suggest as activities and destinations based upon inputs we provided while taking into account sea conditions, weather and other local information. I’ve been a certified diver since 1973 and have dived with a lot of dive masters. None came close to being as good as Travis and Missy. Their calm demeanor put all of us at ease, especially for those first few dives (it had been 15 years for my now adult kids). They are professional divers and even formally instruct other Dive Masters. Solid, competent Dive Masters make all the difference, and we had the best. The food (and service too) was outstanding. Missy takes the lead, but Travis runs the bbq. The one vegetarian in our group was very happy with her preparations (I wouldn’t know, I like meat protein). We thoroughly enjoyed every meal, especially when complemented by really nice wines and having Misty, a trained sommelier, walked us through what we were enjoying and how to appreciate the finer aspects. Both of them make some darn good rum-based specialty drinks. Ahhh, the BVA island life. This testimonial is real and sincere. When something comes together that is this good, the people involved deserve to be recognized and applauded. Bravo to everyone, including the BVIYC team that recommended this boat and crew for our trip.

Missy and Travis,
What an amazing week we have had together. So many fun adventures, Olivia’s first scuba dive, Caroline’s new love of snorkeling, and Garrett’s new obsession with hydrofoiling… and the list goes on and on. The food was to die for and the yummy cocktails were the cherry on top. Thank you so much for an incredible family adventure.

TK and Miss,
Well… what can we say? Can perfection be perfected? If so, y’all have it figured out. Once again, you’ve outdone yourselves. We had the very best time. At this point, all we can do to console ourselves at leaving is to book our return trip to spend another week in paradise. What’s better… the location or the friends? We’d say the friends.
Love you guys and until next time,
LC & Chris
New Years Week 2023/24
Dear Taylor, Margaret, and Kim,
What an amazing week! Where do I start?!? From the beginning, with our pretrip Zooms and texts you have provided an incredibly personal, caring, and thoughtfully crafted vacation.
Having Kim onboard for our special New Year’s cruise with Zachary’s food allergies was one of the highlights. EVERY meal was a masterpiece of creativity, healthy ingredients, and bespoke provisions. Accommodating my Mom and teenage sons was no easy feat and yet you pulled it off seamlessly.
From SCUBA diving, snorkeling, SUPing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, e-foiling, open water swimming, and taking the helm for sailing you really nailed it. Our anchorages were beautiful, quiet, and decidedly not Yacht Week! A perfect combination holiday of relaxation, activities, and culinary delights. It has been a true pleasure to get to you both (and Kim) and hope we keep in touch.
Good luck in your next phase,
The Redlins and The Greens
Christmas 2023
Margaret Harrington and Taylor Smith—owners and operators of Ebb and Flow—provided nothing short of an extraordinary Caribbean charter experience. Our seven days onboard created a lifetime of memories. Our first contact with Margaret and Taylor was two weeks prior on a Zoom call, where we collectively clarified our expectations and preferences for the charter. Once onboard the vessel, Taylor would review our goals, expectations, proposed activities, layout the next day’s itinerary, and ports of call. Both Margaret and Taylor strike an incredible balance of formality/informality, professionalism/approachability, and definiteness/flexibility.
Ebb and Flow is beautifully maintained with an attention to detail by the crew that felt like we were staying at a 5-star hotel. Several activities were standout to our family. We spent the majority of our time on the vessel, but we enjoyed three different land-based adventures: the Baths on Virgin Gorda, a Jeep and snorkeling tour around Anegada, and a hike to the bubble pools on Jost Van Dyke. While aboard Ebb and Flow, we were exposed to the most beautiful snorkeling. Taylor is a certified Scuba Instructor and provided certification – and for two of us, this was our first exposure to scuba diving. Taylor is a highly qualified and competent instructor. His tutelage and leadership were a true highlight of the trip. Margaret directed most of our snorkeling adventures, yoga instruction, and cocktail/mocktail creation around happy hour. Her knowledge of fish and coral made every swim experience an amazing underwater adventure! We also got a chance to try e-foils—a great new experience for all of us. Taylor and Margaret would invite and allow the entire family to be involved with sailing when the conditions would allow. I grew up with sailing, so I really wanted to be a part of helping where I could. Other family members chose a much less active role in sailing, and this was great.
On our charter, Margaret and Taylor employed the services of Chef Kim Stoklasa of @YachtBVI. Kim worked tirelessly to create exceptional breakfasts, lunches, appetizers, dinners, and desserts. Her vast experience shined as each meal seemed to outdo the preceding one. She touched based frequently regarding meal preferences, tastes, timing, and portion size. Every meal was fantastic; however, some of our most memorable dishes were her shakshuka, a kale quinoa salad, fish tacos, lamb chops, and grilled artichokes – all beautifully plated and garnished! Every meal had a fantastic balance of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. We also got a sampling of Kim’s amazing personalized sauces and locally sourced items. Prior to our trip she spent a fair amount of time feeling out our preferences, allergies, and tolerance for culinary freedom on her part. The variety of tastes and meal presentations she created was so much a part of the total charter experience. Kudos to Kim!
Christmas 2023 (Cont)
Taylor, Margaret, and Kim,
We loved our Caribbean Christmas Cruise! 2 of us learned to scuba for the first time, all with the help of Taylor, an amazing instructor. Great to see a spotted eagle ray. Touring Anegada, sea scooters, mermaid tails, snorkeling, gorgeous sunsets, private harbors, and bird watching.
Kim, we love you. The meal exceeded expectations every day! We’re still talking about the Kale Quinoa Salad, ceviche, passionfruit panacotta, fish tacos, and the incredible Christmas- Day feast. We loved all 15(!!) dishes.
Christmas caroling at the Anegada anchorage was so special, hilarious, and unforgettable. We got the track list down by the end… but Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer was a humbling moment. You all thought of everything - decorating the tender, the microphone, xmas glasses, and santa hats, jingle bells. Thank you for including us in a new tradition! They were blinking lights and begging for us to sing to them, it must have been the mermaids. Our 30th Anniversary Celebration was beautiful and thoughtful. Thank you so very much!
December 2023
Margaret and Taylor,
First of all, thank you. Taylor, your calm confidence in command through good and bad weather and circumstance eliminated any anxiety from being out on the open sea. Margaret, your delightful personality and super cooking skills created a palpable cohesion with all of us. It has been a great joy to me to see how well you two work together and create a memorable experience for us, your guests. -Mike, New Mexico
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle in such an open and honest fashion. I enjoyed learning, helping, and watching. Loved the opportunity to dive with each of you. Taylor, so capable and confident, put me right to ease again in the water. Margaret’s energy for adventure and curiosity was fantastic. The fishing was an unexpected adventure! Great memories and may all your future endeavors be filled with adventure and wonder! If you are ever in New Mexico, come visit and ride some horses with us! - Guy, New Mexico
Thanksgiving 2023
Our family had an AMAZING vacation on Ebb & Flow catamaran - both the boat and the crew, Margaret & Taylor made it one of our best family trips ever! It started with the planning, which was seamless with Caite at Uncharted and the crew, who went to great lengths to learn each of our individual preferences. They were professional, with safety always in mind, and incredibly friendly and fun, knowledgeable about the BVI with interesting and enjoyable stories everywhere we went. There were so many activities that we didn't even get to do them all! The food was excellent - Margaret is an exceptional cook! and the cocktails were expertly prepared by Taylor! It was an exciting, relaxing, fun, delicious vacation and hopefully we will be able to do it again with the same boat & crew!
Tomlinson 5/22 - 6/5, 2023
Dear Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you for a wonderful fortnight sailing around the BVI. Anne and I had an amazing time exploring these beautiful islands under your local guidance. The trip was enhanced by your insightfulness of the pirate stories - fact and fiction - that made these lovely islands come to life. Does this make me more Whitebeard than Blackbeard?
Thank you for helping me take a walk down memory lane. Anne definitely enjoyed the diving - I certainly enjoyed supervising her from above. Also, the snorkeling was fantastic too.
Thank you, Margaret, for your delicious food and superb portion sizes. We were definitely satisfied, not stuffed. Anne took lots of food photos, which is most unusual - so you really impressed on the catering.
On the skippering side, I enjoyed our technical sailing chats. Taylor - you are very knowledgeable, most informative and pragmatic. It helped me make several decisions during the fortnight.
Overall, thanks again for making the trip a special fortnight.
Best wishes,
Blaine and Anne

Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you for making this trip special for my whole family. Ebb & Flow was luxurious, comfortable, and immaculately maintained. I really appreciated coming home each night to a turned down bed (king sized!) with A/C, mood lighting, and pleasant scents.
Taylor, thank you for entertaining us with your jokes and stories, and for being an excellent guide to us in a new place. Thanks so much for setting up kitesurfing for me and helping me during it.
Margaret, thanks for taking us on snorkeling adventures and showing us lots of fish and buried treasure! The food was spectacular, I feel so much healthier overall than I did when starting this trip. My favorite meal was the snapper, indian food was a close second. Favorite dessert was olive oil lavender cake. Thanks for going above and beyond for my Mom for Mother’s Day and her birthday, we really appreciated that.
The trip was a “10” and M&T made it a “12”. What a great way to spend time with your family! BEST VACATION EVER!!
Sincerely,
AJ, Tony, Kelli, Mercedes, Alexis, Oscar
Wood 04/12-19/2023
Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and immaculate boat. We felt so pampered and leave Ebb & Flow fully rejuvenated! So appreciate your healthy meals.

This was the most fabulous trip we have ever had. We have traveled to many places around the world, but this was by far the most relaxing and enjoyable trip!
Sally, you are an amazing chef and your food was outstanding. Mark, your daily drink specials were truly delicious!
You are a wonderful team and we will miss you both. We felt like we were part of your family. Lots of laughs and adventures we shared. Couldn’t have shared this with anyone else! So lucky that you came back to charter just in time for the Judd Family to arrive.
Enjoy your new adventures in your RV!

TOP NOTCH ! Taylor & Margaret
You guys brought it up to "TOP NOTCH"...your passion, knowledge, and experience shined through just like the sun. Thanks for the fun ride and safe travels my friends.
Margaret & Taylor - What can we say... you guys were incredible! From a super passionate captain & very thoughtful dive instructor to an amazing chef and dive master, your skills and capabilities were not soon to be forgotten. Although the old folks pooped out easily, you guys were fantastic with the very active teens...way to flex!!! We really enjoyed your hospitality and your company and will certainly miss our time together. Thanks for tolerating the "f" bombs (across all ages)!
Until we sail together again, The Kalvenes

Captain
Adam Hughes
Nation: British
Born: 1988
License: RYA Yacht Master
Languages: English
Chef/Mate
Rosie Kirk
Nation: British
Born: 1992
License: Ashburton | RYA Yacht Master
Rosie & Adam met in Croatia whilst both working as Yacht Captains. Their personal and professional relationships blossomed and they became the ultimate Crewed Yacht Team.
Adam grew up in Lancashire and was lucky to get into Dinghy Sailing from a young age. After completing his degree in International Computer Science, he soon realized that “office life” was not for him. Adam enjoyed the outdoor life and worked as a Watersports Instructor in the Mediterranean. Adam moved into the yachting industry in 2015 and worked as a Captain and Yacht Team Manager. He spent many years combining his summers working on yachts with winters’ managing hotels and bars in European Ski resorts. His love of cocktails blossomed here.
Rosie lives in Cowes, Isle of Wight, the home to UK sailing and therefore has been very fortunate to spend all of her life on the water. Rosie studied Fashion at University, however, was always drawn back to the sea! After Rosie completed her Yachtmaster Offshore in 2017, she decided to take a few months out of her office job to work as a Yacht Captain in Croatia, this was the moment Rosie knew a career in Yachting was for her! Rosie attended Professional Yacht Chef Training at Ashburton Chefs Academy and now uses her creativity in her food where she loves to use fresh and local ingredients whenever she can. During COVID times Rosie kept herself busy with a 16 week online pastry course and went on to write and publish her first cookbook app “Baking on Boats”
Rosie & Adam have been sailing the BVI since 2019 and now fondly call it home. They love to combine their love of adventure and passion for food which then creates an unforgettable experience for all guests who choose to travel with them.

Guest comments for Adam and Rosie from 2023/24 season
Rosie and Adam are the best! Rosie prepares the most delicious meals, this combined with the gorgeous scenery of the BVI and wonderful time with friends is the recipe for the best vacation ever! I hope to be back soon!
Lani
Such an amazing trip. The boat is beautiful and so comfortable. Adam and Rosie make your stay so incredible - the cocktails, the food and the best ambience! I will be back with my family next time. ❤️
Rachel
I had the best time on Unwavering!! Adam and Rosie are amazing hosts with delicious food, fun toys and incredible knowledge about sailing and the BVI. Rosie’s gluten free creations for myself were out of this world and Adams guided hike was spectacular where we saw 100’d of butterflies! I would love to come back with my family!!

This has truly been one of the best trips we have ever been on as a family! Adam and Rosie went over and above to make it so special and fun, creating memories which we will cherish forever.
Rosie is an unbelievable chef and her dishes, apps and cocktails were the most delicious, from lamb to sea bass to grouper tacos every meal was perfect.
Adam was always making sure we had all the toys ready for ocean fun. The flite board, sea scooters and snorkelling were awesome.
[Yacht} is gorgeous and our family is so blessed to have been able to spend Christmas week in the BVI with Adam and Rosie. We will definitely be back!!
BEST FAMILY TRIP!!

Thank you for this incredible opportunity to fail the BVI with special friends.

Once again, you’ve given us a once in a lifetime trip. I would say we never want to sail with anyone else, but (dang it) you’ve gone and sailed into a much deserved retirement. Starting and ending this season with you was such a treat. At the end of the day, we truly consider you both lifelong friends.
I really hope we can see y’all again. Our lives are truly better having met you.
All our love and thank you for some of the best times of our lives,
LC & Chris
Easter 2024
Thank you again for a trip of a lifetime! We absolutely love our vacations with you! We are so blessed that we got to do this amazing trip with you all again for Caden’s last Spring Break before he goes to UF! Thank you both for being the best and most patient with me when it comes to diving! Our family dives are always a great memory!
From the dives, the snorkeling, The Baths, beaches, Hobie Cats (Thanks Travis for the sailing lessons!), dinner at the Bitter End, and all the spicy margaritas - you both made this trip the best! Please let us know when you are back captaining again - we will be back!
Love,
Jonna, Ken, Chase, Caden Harris

Dear Travis and Miss Missy,
What a privilege to sail and motor around the BVI’s together. What a treat to learn more about you both. The boat was impeccable. The food was not just delicious and healthy, but also stress free with my complicated allergies.
Thank you for the diving adventures in places so special to see. Thank you for the company and conversation. Thank you for the island excursions to see iguanas and flamingos. Each day was filled with making lasting memories.
We look forward to a lifetime of friendship and more memories to come.
Cheers to health, love, safety ,and a loong life of adventures!

Captains Travis and Missy,
Three words… IT WAS AWESOME! Thank you for showing us so many beautiful places both above and under the water and for tailoring our activities to ensure that all of us had an amazing time. This is an experience that none of us will forget. It has been such a pleasure to get to know you both. If you ever find yourselves in Annapolis, we would love to return your hospitality.
It will take me another 70 years to ever be able to come up to the standards of such a magnificent 70th Birthday Celebration. We were in such good, kind, and caring hands and we felt so safe. The wine pairings were such a treat and learning experience. I had so much fun and can’t thank you enough for everything!

Guest review March 1, 2024 Ebb and Flow
Our holiday on the Ebb & Flow was off the charts exceptional. The boat is in perfect condition. It’s clean, functional, efficient, well laid out and so comfortable. It’s just fun to be on it. Missy & Travis (our captains) are perhaps even more exceptional than the boat itself. Their years and years of experience shines through and they make everything they do look effortless. They knew what to suggest as activities and destinations based upon inputs we provided while taking into account sea conditions, weather and other local information. I’ve been a certified diver since 1973 and have dived with a lot of dive masters. None came close to being as good as Travis and Missy. Their calm demeanor put all of us at ease, especially for those first few dives (it had been 15 years for my now adult kids). They are professional divers and even formally instruct other Dive Masters. Solid, competent Dive Masters make all the difference, and we had the best. The food (and service too) was outstanding. Missy takes the lead, but Travis runs the bbq. The one vegetarian in our group was very happy with her preparations (I wouldn’t know, I like meat protein). We thoroughly enjoyed every meal, especially when complemented by really nice wines and having Misty, a trained sommelier, walked us through what we were enjoying and how to appreciate the finer aspects. Both of them make some darn good rum-based specialty drinks. Ahhh, the BVA island life. This testimonial is real and sincere. When something comes together that is this good, the people involved deserve to be recognized and applauded. Bravo to everyone, including the BVIYC team that recommended this boat and crew for our trip.

Missy and Travis,
What an amazing week we have had together. So many fun adventures, Olivia’s first scuba dive, Caroline’s new love of snorkeling, and Garrett’s new obsession with hydrofoiling… and the list goes on and on. The food was to die for and the yummy cocktails were the cherry on top. Thank you so much for an incredible family adventure.

TK and Miss,
Well… what can we say? Can perfection be perfected? If so, y’all have it figured out. Once again, you’ve outdone yourselves. We had the very best time. At this point, all we can do to console ourselves at leaving is to book our return trip to spend another week in paradise. What’s better… the location or the friends? We’d say the friends.
Love you guys and until next time,
LC & Chris
New Years Week 2023/24
Dear Taylor, Margaret, and Kim,
What an amazing week! Where do I start?!? From the beginning, with our pretrip Zooms and texts you have provided an incredibly personal, caring, and thoughtfully crafted vacation.
Having Kim onboard for our special New Year’s cruise with Zachary’s food allergies was one of the highlights. EVERY meal was a masterpiece of creativity, healthy ingredients, and bespoke provisions. Accommodating my Mom and teenage sons was no easy feat and yet you pulled it off seamlessly.
From SCUBA diving, snorkeling, SUPing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, e-foiling, open water swimming, and taking the helm for sailing you really nailed it. Our anchorages were beautiful, quiet, and decidedly not Yacht Week! A perfect combination holiday of relaxation, activities, and culinary delights. It has been a true pleasure to get to you both (and Kim) and hope we keep in touch.
Good luck in your next phase,
The Redlins and The Greens
Christmas 2023
Margaret Harrington and Taylor Smith—owners and operators of Ebb and Flow—provided nothing short of an extraordinary Caribbean charter experience. Our seven days onboard created a lifetime of memories. Our first contact with Margaret and Taylor was two weeks prior on a Zoom call, where we collectively clarified our expectations and preferences for the charter. Once onboard the vessel, Taylor would review our goals, expectations, proposed activities, layout the next day’s itinerary, and ports of call. Both Margaret and Taylor strike an incredible balance of formality/informality, professionalism/approachability, and definiteness/flexibility.
Ebb and Flow is beautifully maintained with an attention to detail by the crew that felt like we were staying at a 5-star hotel. Several activities were standout to our family. We spent the majority of our time on the vessel, but we enjoyed three different land-based adventures: the Baths on Virgin Gorda, a Jeep and snorkeling tour around Anegada, and a hike to the bubble pools on Jost Van Dyke. While aboard Ebb and Flow, we were exposed to the most beautiful snorkeling. Taylor is a certified Scuba Instructor and provided certification – and for two of us, this was our first exposure to scuba diving. Taylor is a highly qualified and competent instructor. His tutelage and leadership were a true highlight of the trip. Margaret directed most of our snorkeling adventures, yoga instruction, and cocktail/mocktail creation around happy hour. Her knowledge of fish and coral made every swim experience an amazing underwater adventure! We also got a chance to try e-foils—a great new experience for all of us. Taylor and Margaret would invite and allow the entire family to be involved with sailing when the conditions would allow. I grew up with sailing, so I really wanted to be a part of helping where I could. Other family members chose a much less active role in sailing, and this was great.
On our charter, Margaret and Taylor employed the services of Chef Kim Stoklasa of @YachtBVI. Kim worked tirelessly to create exceptional breakfasts, lunches, appetizers, dinners, and desserts. Her vast experience shined as each meal seemed to outdo the preceding one. She touched based frequently regarding meal preferences, tastes, timing, and portion size. Every meal was fantastic; however, some of our most memorable dishes were her shakshuka, a kale quinoa salad, fish tacos, lamb chops, and grilled artichokes – all beautifully plated and garnished! Every meal had a fantastic balance of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. We also got a sampling of Kim’s amazing personalized sauces and locally sourced items. Prior to our trip she spent a fair amount of time feeling out our preferences, allergies, and tolerance for culinary freedom on her part. The variety of tastes and meal presentations she created was so much a part of the total charter experience. Kudos to Kim!
Christmas 2023 (Cont)
Taylor, Margaret, and Kim,
We loved our Caribbean Christmas Cruise! 2 of us learned to scuba for the first time, all with the help of Taylor, an amazing instructor. Great to see a spotted eagle ray. Touring Anegada, sea scooters, mermaid tails, snorkeling, gorgeous sunsets, private harbors, and bird watching.
Kim, we love you. The meal exceeded expectations every day! We’re still talking about the Kale Quinoa Salad, ceviche, passionfruit panacotta, fish tacos, and the incredible Christmas- Day feast. We loved all 15(!!) dishes.
Christmas caroling at the Anegada anchorage was so special, hilarious, and unforgettable. We got the track list down by the end… but Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer was a humbling moment. You all thought of everything - decorating the tender, the microphone, xmas glasses, and santa hats, jingle bells. Thank you for including us in a new tradition! They were blinking lights and begging for us to sing to them, it must have been the mermaids. Our 30th Anniversary Celebration was beautiful and thoughtful. Thank you so very much!
December 2023
Margaret and Taylor,
First of all, thank you. Taylor, your calm confidence in command through good and bad weather and circumstance eliminated any anxiety from being out on the open sea. Margaret, your delightful personality and super cooking skills created a palpable cohesion with all of us. It has been a great joy to me to see how well you two work together and create a memorable experience for us, your guests. -Mike, New Mexico
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle in such an open and honest fashion. I enjoyed learning, helping, and watching. Loved the opportunity to dive with each of you. Taylor, so capable and confident, put me right to ease again in the water. Margaret’s energy for adventure and curiosity was fantastic. The fishing was an unexpected adventure! Great memories and may all your future endeavors be filled with adventure and wonder! If you are ever in New Mexico, come visit and ride some horses with us! - Guy, New Mexico
Thanksgiving 2023
Our family had an AMAZING vacation on Ebb & Flow catamaran - both the boat and the crew, Margaret & Taylor made it one of our best family trips ever! It started with the planning, which was seamless with Caite at Uncharted and the crew, who went to great lengths to learn each of our individual preferences. They were professional, with safety always in mind, and incredibly friendly and fun, knowledgeable about the BVI with interesting and enjoyable stories everywhere we went. There were so many activities that we didn't even get to do them all! The food was excellent - Margaret is an exceptional cook! and the cocktails were expertly prepared by Taylor! It was an exciting, relaxing, fun, delicious vacation and hopefully we will be able to do it again with the same boat & crew!
Tomlinson 5/22 - 6/5, 2023
Dear Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you for a wonderful fortnight sailing around the BVI. Anne and I had an amazing time exploring these beautiful islands under your local guidance. The trip was enhanced by your insightfulness of the pirate stories - fact and fiction - that made these lovely islands come to life. Does this make me more Whitebeard than Blackbeard?
Thank you for helping me take a walk down memory lane. Anne definitely enjoyed the diving - I certainly enjoyed supervising her from above. Also, the snorkeling was fantastic too.
Thank you, Margaret, for your delicious food and superb portion sizes. We were definitely satisfied, not stuffed. Anne took lots of food photos, which is most unusual - so you really impressed on the catering.
On the skippering side, I enjoyed our technical sailing chats. Taylor - you are very knowledgeable, most informative and pragmatic. It helped me make several decisions during the fortnight.
Overall, thanks again for making the trip a special fortnight.
Best wishes,
Blaine and Anne

Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you for making this trip special for my whole family. Ebb & Flow was luxurious, comfortable, and immaculately maintained. I really appreciated coming home each night to a turned down bed (king sized!) with A/C, mood lighting, and pleasant scents.
Taylor, thank you for entertaining us with your jokes and stories, and for being an excellent guide to us in a new place. Thanks so much for setting up kitesurfing for me and helping me during it.
Margaret, thanks for taking us on snorkeling adventures and showing us lots of fish and buried treasure! The food was spectacular, I feel so much healthier overall than I did when starting this trip. My favorite meal was the snapper, indian food was a close second. Favorite dessert was olive oil lavender cake. Thanks for going above and beyond for my Mom for Mother’s Day and her birthday, we really appreciated that.
The trip was a “10” and M&T made it a “12”. What a great way to spend time with your family! BEST VACATION EVER!!
Sincerely,
AJ, Tony, Kelli, Mercedes, Alexis, Oscar

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and immaculate boat. We felt so pampered and leave Ebb & Flow fully rejuvenated! So appreciate your healthy meals.
Highlights are snorkeling with Margaret the Mermaid, jumping off Willy T’s, Taylor’s famous bloody marys, and so much more. Please visit us in the mountains anytime and we look forward to seeing you next season!

This was the most fabulous trip we have ever had. We have traveled to many places around the world, but this was by far the most relaxing and enjoyable trip!
Sally, you are an amazing chef and your food was outstanding. Mark, your daily drink specials were truly delicious!
You are a wonderful team and we will miss you both. We felt like we were part of your family. Lots of laughs and adventures we shared. Couldn’t have shared this with anyone else! So lucky that you came back to charter just in time for the Judd Family to arrive.
Enjoy your new adventures in your RV!

TOP NOTCH ! Taylor & Margaret
You guys brought it up to "TOP NOTCH"...your passion, knowledge, and experience shined through just like the sun. Thanks for the fun ride and safe travels my friends.
Margaret & Taylor - What can we say... you guys were incredible! From a super passionate captain & very thoughtful dive instructor to an amazing chef and dive master, your skills and capabilities were not soon to be forgotten. Although the old folks pooped out easily, you guys were fantastic with the very active teens...way to flex!!! We really enjoyed your hospitality and your company and will certainly miss our time together. Thanks for tolerating the "f" bombs (across all ages)!
Until we sail together again, The Kalvenes
BEYOND OUR WILDEST EXPECTATIONS! Taylor & Margaret
Margaret & Taylor -
Thank you for giving our family an adventure, a bonding experience, and a week in paradise that we will forever cherish! The food was spectacular, the cocktails divine, the SCUBA and snorkeling were majestic, the hiking was amazing, the sailing superb, the games of CAH and Mexican Train Dominoes and Chess and Shut the Box and Uno were so memorable the birthday/graduation celebration was beyond our wildest expectations - and yet, what we will all remember with greatest affection ,love ad admiration is how the two of you approached each moment with such care, thoughtfulness and genuine, heartfelt dedication. And the ferry on the chocolate mousse and apple crumble bakes was also being able to share our stories, our unique holiday celebrations and such joy and laughter together. We are forever grateful - thank you!! "Shabat Shalom"
Love,
The Lebovitz
Most memorable EVER - Taylor & Margaret
"Most memorable EVER!"
Thank you so much for the most memorable and relaxing vacation ever! Your smiles are contagious and your generosity and warm personalities made for such a great week! Thank you for all the awesome dives, wakeboarding, and of course delicious food and drinks.
We will never forget how you made us all so comfortable and the sweet way in which you interacted with both Mallory and Brynn. Your patience and hug hearts have certainly left an impact on our family! We are counting down the days until next spring break already in hopes that we can spend another week in paradise with both of you! Enjoy your time in the islands, continue to laugh and love - it suits you both so well!!
