Zylkene 1 was extremely comfortable!!!! And in excellent condition!!!! It was extremely clean and well kept. They even changed the linen when it got dirty!!!!
The captain and crew were amazing. They attended every whim of the passengers. Rebecca went out of her way to make cakes, brownies, cookies and popcorn for the kids and incredible drinks for the adults. She helped us with everything. Even showed us how to make pigs drink water!!! The captain and crew delivered exceptional service!!!! Captain Julian was incredible, He took us on dinghy excursions and helped rescue the kinds on his limo-dinghy when they went too far away!!! He fed the sharks and helped us pet them. Also gave us lessons on fishes and how to treat nature. They know everything about the boat and its surroundings. They are incredible people and made our trip even more special. Thanks to them we all had an amazing time aboard Zylkene 1.
Our meals were high end quality and delicious. All natural ingredients and made right in front of us. The presentation was impeccable, almost a drawing.
We would charter this yacht again, YES, YES, YES.
We loved every minute aboard the Zylkene 1. We had the most amazing vacation. The crew is fantastic and the catamaran is impeccable. It really suited our party well.
Thank you so much for making this dream come true!!!
I already have friends that are interested in chartering the Zylkene for their vacation.
Hope to talk to you soon again.

We have undertaken many trips with "Windward-islands Yachting company " and we have always been very satisfied with their services. Our last experience on the catamaran Lagoon 56 named Zylkene was great and everyone aboard agreed that it was an amazing & pleasant cruise.This being mainly due to the crew, who behaved in a very professional way and made our trip a whole lot better. Noel and Patricia who were our skippers were extremely devoted, helpful, happy and likeable. The food cooked by Patricia was exquisite, and Noels meticulous nature gave everyone a feeling of security and cleanliness. Along the way, we became friends and shared more than good laughs ; it was sad to have to say goodbye. The boat itself was very cozy, there was good fishing gear aboard and we had many good catches which were transformed into great dinners. Apart from that, our communicative relationship with the crew was excellent and all our concerns and complaints were addressed immediately and in a most professional matter.
Thank you all very much for this pleasant trip, until next time!

Francisco review 25 Mar 2016 11:12
Hi, For your records, we had a wonderful experience with Julien and Rebecca. Of course, the catamaran was in excellent conditions, only it had a minor malfunctioning of one of the electrical control panels which was by-passed by Julien, and it was sent to repair. Julien and Rebecca make an outstanding team and they both master their respective areas. Julien at the helm, all technical facts, itinerary, and tender services such as wakeboarding pilot. Rebecca, in turn, is an excellent cooking chef. Every single day, we enjoyed gourmet quality dishes and desserts. She paid very close attention to details fulfilling all what we have said in the preference list and even more. Both of them were very flexible and it took them less than 48 hours to know our preferences in every aspect. So all in all, no doubt you will find in Zylkene, thanks to Julien and Rebecca, a catamaran that will not disappoint the toughest of your customers.
John review - Bequia to Grenada February 2017
Just wanted to let you know that we left Zylkene yesterday after a wonderful week. the boat was superb and very comfortable for the eight of us. Julien and Rebecca were outstanding crew and fun to be with at all times. Rebeccas food was an absolute delight. We would highly recommend boat and crew. Many thanks for your help in helping us find the boat.

Winter & Summer Base Port: Saint Martin / Martinique

What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.

Francisco review 25 Mar 2016 11:12
Hi, For your records, we had a wonderful experience with Julien and Rebecca. Of course, the catamaran was in excellent conditions, only it had a minor malfunctioning of one of the electrical control panels which was by-passed by Julien, and it was sent to repair. Julien and Rebecca make an outstanding team and they both master their respective areas. Julien at the helm, all technical facts, itinerary, and tender services such as wakeboarding pilot. Rebecca, in turn, is an excellent cooking chef. Every single day, we enjoyed gourmet quality dishes and desserts. She paid very close attention to details fulfilling all what we have said in the preference list and even more. Both of them were very flexible and it took them less than 48 hours to know our preferences in every aspect. So all in all, no doubt you will find in Zylkene, thanks to Julien and Rebecca, a catamaran that will not disappoint the toughest of your customers.

Just wanted to let you know that we left Zylkene yesterday after a wonderful week. the boat was superb and very comfortable for the eight of us. Julien and Rebecca were outstanding crew and fun to be with at all times. Rebeccas food was an absolute delight. We would highly recommend boat and crew. Many thanks for your help in helping us find the boat.

What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.
