Thank you for great service, the amazing food by Chef Sophie <3
Captain and his stories were a delight !
Veasna is so kind and funny !

The yacht has been incredible, the signts marvelous and the itinerary perfect, relaxing
But the captain & crew have made the trip exceptional.

BROKER NOTES
The crew was simply outstanding! I really don’t have a single complaint.
They took such great care of us, fed us incredibly well, and were a delight to be with.
We were so lucky to have them.
The yacht is incredible too. I’m glad I chose a Princess Yacht.
We will consider them again.
Chartering the sorana was a wonderdul experience.
The captain took us to the most beautiful beaches, the crew had knowledge of the best places to snorkel, shop, etc.
The chef was extremely accommodating to health and dietary restrictions.
Even with dietary restrictions he made the best meals we had on the trip on or off the boat.
The service was top notch, our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend on this charter!
I wondered if the three crew members of SORANA could handle their jobs for a good service to make our vacation enjoyable but it turned out silly concern.
Dedicated effort of captain to make it possible.
fantastic food of Laurent
Bright energy and worm smile of Veasna.
Our deep appreciation to them !
What an amazing time on the SORANA II.
The crew was wonderful, the food was outstanding and the boat was always clean.
Thank you for wonderful memories we had !
K & B
SORANA - The whole crew was very professional and competent.
Captain Jean Marc is a true sailor and thaks to his experience we were we had discovered great spots at anchor and for swimming.

We would definitely come back for more adventure with this great crew. D.

How could one dream of a better honeymoon!?
THANK YOU Veasna, Jean-Marc, and Mathieu for your kindness, your thoughtfulness, and your good humor which made these few days together an enchantment. We are leaving the Sorana hoping to return to it one day!
Affectionately,
Comment rêver meilleure lune de miel!?
MERCI Veasna, Jean Marc et Mathieu pour votre gentillesse, votre délicatesse, votre bonne humeur qui ont fait de ces quelques jurs ensemble un enchantement.
Nous quittons le Sorana en espérant le retrouver un jour!

Best Birthday EVER !!
Where do I begin? From the moment we stepped onboard we experienced a level of hospitality that surpassed all expectations. Every need met with a smile & excellence! Sophie’s cuisine and attention to a long list of allergies was nothing short of extraordinary!!! We’re certain we’ll never have this level of excellence anywhere else. Our Captain J.M. made even the sail thru choppy seas pleasant & SAFE and always with a smile. Full of course, sweet, accommodating Veasna ❤️, the drinks & service, etc. were so appreciated. This is one of the most incredible experiences of a life-time with the MOST INCREDIBLE CREW! We’ll always carry you in our hearts & prayers. Merci ❤️

We started together in 2025
This was the best way to celebrate M’s 45th birthday + C + M’s 20th anniversary (and impromptu renewal ceremony), Christmas and New Year onboard the Sorana !
Thank you for great service, the amazing food by Chef Sophie <3
Captain and his stories were a delight !
Veasna is so kind and funny !
We really enjoyed our 10 days !
We hope you remember our family with fondness but especially the non-stop card games and the silly Nathan TV show!
We finished our trip in 2026 😊
Thank you for everything, see you soon in Europe !
Love the B Family ( San Francisco Bay area, California <3)
Broker notes : Thank you so much for providing a wonderful time for the B. family.
They had a fabulous time, relaxing and enjoying the islands and yacht and said that the crew were excellent.
Where do I start celebrated my 60th Birthday with my family.
The most special trip we have ever had as a family.
Jean Marc, Veasna, Sophie were unbelievable and the boat was fantastic.
We have to leave but hope to charter with this crew again sometime in the future, St Martin, St Barths & Anguilla.
From St Lucia to Mayereau and back we have had the most wonderful time aboard SORANA;
The yacht has been incredible, the signts marvelous and the itinerary perfect, relaxing
But the captain & crew have made the trip exceptional.
Jean Marc, Veasna & Laurent made our entire trip phenomenal. What will we do without them?
We hope to be back onboard again soon!

BROKER NOTES
The crew was simply outstanding! I really don’t have a single complaint.
They took such great care of us, fed us incredibly well, and were a delight to be with.
We were so lucky to have them.
The yacht is incredible too. I’m glad I chose a Princess Yacht.
We will consider them again.
Chartering the sorana was a wonderdul experience.
The captain took us to the most beautiful beaches, the crew had knowledge of the best places to snorkel, shop, etc.
The chef was extremely accommodating to health and dietary restrictions.
Even with dietary restrictions he made the best meals we had on the trip on or off the boat.
The service was top notch, our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend on this charter!
I wondered if the three crew members of SORANA could handle their jobs for a good service to make our vacation enjoyable but it turned out silly concern.
Dedicated effort of captain to make it possible.
fantastic food of Laurent
Bright energy and worm smile of Veasna.
Our deep appreciation to them !
What an amazing time on the SORANA II.
The crew was wonderful, the food was outstanding and the boat was always clean.
Thank you for wonderful memories we had !
K & B
SORANA - The whole crew was very professional and competent.
Captain Jean Marc is a true sailor and thaks to his experience we were we had discovered great spots at anchor and for swimming.
The food cooked by Laurent was excellent and service by Veasnea was spotless.
We would definitely come back for more adventure with this great crew. D.
