Ultimate Charter Experience
Nov 2025
We are a family of four that includes two mid twenties daughters and each said it was the best vacation ever.
Starry Night was the perfect vessel as each daughter had their own berth and we had a rock star crew of Tiggie and Capt Murray. Somehow they seamlessly blended in with our family while serving our every need.
Tiggie managed to amaze us with her cooking skills always working with a smile.
Capt Murray had things under control the entire trip. The boat was great, but the crew was the straw that stirred the drink.
What a joy it is to sail with you!
Both of you radiate so much joy and kindness!
It is impossible to be in a bad mood around you because you both enjoy what you do so much.
Thank you for all the memories.
You guys are amazing!
Murray, you had us at the right spot at the right time. No crowds & stress free memories made possible for us.
For going out of our way to not only find the perfect cliff dive spot but to join in!
Tiggs you are such a servant. Your meals & skills are amazing. You take such pride in making sure we relax. You have a smile that can light up a room. Thank you for giving us a taste of many different cultures. Even the fish was amazing.
Your team dynamic is light and fun.
Thanks for making time in your days & evenings to hang out, eat, play games. We will miss you guys & some of the other connections we made along the way.
Until the next time.
