Such a wonderful trip
“ Dear Benny & Hannah,
Thank you for such a wonderful trip, we will cherish the memories.
We felt in such good hands, Benny - you're a wonderful captain & we felt so safe on board. Hannah- The food was incredible, I’m going to need a few weeks to work off all the delicious food you prepared for us
Was wonderful getting to know you both and we wish you all the best.
Also thank you for such amazing weather and sea conditions. All the best Stephanie & Inti”
Benny & Hannah Experience
When was the last time you said, WOW, the food was great and the service was amazing??? Try saying that over 8 days, from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. I feel guilty calling what Benny and Hannah provided a service. By day two it was apparent that we had built a friendship with those two that far exceeded what a trip like this is supposed to provide. The attention they gave us and the thought that went into each decision was perfect. I can't wait for the next trip to the BVI, one where we can bring our children and let them have the Benny & Hannah Experience. It's amazing to see what they both have accomplished at such a young age. If you want to hear anymore about these two and the experience we had please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy "Everyday" Birthday Benny!!!!!
Highlight of my year!
For our big annual trip this year, we went sailing with Benny and Hannah—and it exceeded our expectations again! Planning the trip was so simple and we got to personalize the meals/drinks, itinerary, and activities for us.
Each day, we would wake up to a beautiful breakfast (with a view!) and some kind of fun activity—lounging, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, swimming, diving, you name it! We would then do some sailing to get to our next gorgeous location and these were honestly some of my favorite moments. We would then do lunch, swim or explore, and then enjoy afternoon cocktails (which they themed for us!). After a brilliant afternoon, we would get changed for dinner and evening drinks on the deck and we were with a group that loved a theme and I recommend you ask them about doing that too!
We’ve sailed with Benny and Hannah before and I can’t wait to go again. It is the highlight of my year! This trip wa actually one of firsts, too! I learned how to wakeboard, caught a fish and made tuna sashimi, and even tried scuba diving (they’re both master divers which was awesome for those of us who enjoyed diving!). Also, I got engaged! My fiancé couldn’t have chosen a better experience and I can’t thank Benny and Hannah enough for catching it all on film and having the champagne ready for our big celebration!
If you want an epic vacation that is totally personalized to you and planned for you, this is it. Seriously, book now!
We saw it all
Dear Hannah & Benny
Meeting you and becoming a part of your boat family (and Covid pod) has been a life highlight for our family of four.
You provided a sail that was authentic and organic. Showing us nature at this best, vast and varied. Starting with Waderick Wells Cay into Staniel Cay, Shroud Cay, Allen Cay and eventually Rose Island. We saw it all; white sand , crystal clear water, sea turtles, sharks, pigs and iguanas. There will be little that can top this trip,
Hannah worked tirelessly and thoughtfully to craft a menu for a pescatarian, 2 children and a hungry father. Absolutely some of the best tasting and beautifully presented meals. Add to it wonderful storytelling conversation and games played around the table. Hannah is a talented whirling dervish around the kitchen,
Bennys yacht knowledge is impressive, he is keen to explore and research the most obscure hidden gems of The Bahamas. Both so kind and understanding with our children- and playful! We learned a great deal about life on the water, tides, sea life, water safety, winds. Years worth of sailing lesson in one week!
Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and relaxed during our holiday. You may not miss us :) but we will miss you! And hope you know our door is always open for visits in Greenwich CT. Until we meet again...Thank you, hugs. The Harman Family

Guest Reviews
Such a wonderful trip
“ Dear Benny & Hannah,
Thank you for such a wonderful trip, we will cherish the memories.
We felt in such good hands, Benny - you're a wonderful captain & we felt so safe on board. Hannah- The food was incredible, I’m going to need a few weeks to work off all the delicious food you prepared for us
Was wonderful getting to know you both and we wish you all the best.
Also thank you for such amazing weather and sea conditions. All the best Stephanie & Inti”
Benny & Hannah Experience
When was the last time you said, WOW, the food was great and the service was amazing??? Try saying that over 8 days, from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. I feel guilty calling what Benny and Hannah provided a service. By day two it was apparent that we had built a friendship with those two that far exceeded what a trip like this is supposed to provide. The attention they gave us and the thought that went into each decision was perfect. I can't wait for the next trip to the BVI, one where we can bring our children and let them have the Benny & Hannah Experience. It's amazing to see what they both have accomplished at such a young age. If you want to hear anymore about these two and the experience we had please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy "Everyday" Birthday Benny!!!!!
Highlight of my year!
For our big annual trip this year, we went sailing with Benny and Hannah—and it exceeded our expectations again! Planning the trip was so simple and we got to personalize the meals/drinks, itinerary, and activities for us.
Each day, we would wake up to a beautiful breakfast (with a view!) and some kind of fun activity—lounging, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, swimming, diving, you name it! We would then do some sailing to get to our next gorgeous location and these were honestly some of my favorite moments. We would then do lunch, swim or explore, and then enjoy afternoon cocktails (which they themed for us!). After a brilliant afternoon, we would get changed for dinner and evening drinks on the deck and we were with a group that loved a theme and I recommend you ask them about doing that too!
We’ve sailed with Benny and Hannah before and I can’t wait to go again. It is the highlight of my year! This trip wa actually one of firsts, too! I learned how to wakeboard, caught a fish and made tuna sashimi, and even tried scuba diving (they’re both master divers which was awesome for those of us who enjoyed diving!). Also, I got engaged! My fiancé couldn’t have chosen a better experience and I can’t thank Benny and Hannah enough for catching it all on film and having the champagne ready for our big celebration!
If you want an epic vacation that is totally personalized to you and planned for you, this is it. Seriously, book now!
We saw it all
Dear Hannah & Benny
Meeting you and becoming a part of your boat family (and Covid pod) has been a life highlight for our family of four.
You provided a sail that was authentic and organic. Showing us nature at this best, vast and varied. Starting with Waderick Wells Cay into Staniel Cay, Shroud Cay, Allen Cay and eventually Rose Island. We saw it all; white sand , crystal clear water, sea turtles, sharks, pigs and iguanas. There will be little that can top this trip,
Hannah worked tirelessly and thoughtfully to craft a menu for a pescatarian, 2 children and a hungry father. Absolutely some of the best tasting and beautifully presented meals. Add to it wonderful storytelling conversation and games played around the table. Hannah is a talented whirling dervish around the kitchen,
Bennys yacht knowledge is impressive, he is keen to explore and research the most obscure hidden gems of The Bahamas. Both so kind and understanding with our children- and playful! We learned a great deal about life on the water, tides, sea life, water safety, winds. Years worth of sailing lesson in one week!
Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and relaxed during our holiday. You may not miss us :) but we will miss you! And hope you know our door is always open for visits in Greenwich CT. Until we meet again...Thank you, hugs. The Harman Family
