***July 14-20, 2024***

Guest One:

Thank you Justin, Megs, Tamlyn and Chef Anthon for a fantastic week aboard Emrys. I've enjoyed getting to know you while sailing the Bahamas. Megs attention to detail and thoughtful assistance has helped me relax like never before a trip. Megs I also enjoyed the trip around Normans Cay with your Dad. That was special and he clearly knows it like no others. Justin thanks for sailing us so thoughtfully and hitting the sights at the perfect time. Tamlyn your video is fantastic and will be a cherished memory. I also really appreciate Justin and Tamlyn’s help and wise guidance on the excursions keeping us out of trouble from foolish boaters and always keeping us refreshed with water and a beer of two. Chef Anthon I have never eaten so well! Everything was delicious. I also appreciate you working around my red meat allergy with so many substitutes. The mahi sliders and grouper were particularly fantastic and chocolate souffle and the weekend a very sweet treat. To all of you thanks for making this vacation the best ever. With my gratitude!

Guest Two:

Emrys Crew,

***April 10-14, 2024 ***

Guest One:
Thank you Megs, Tamlyn, Anthon, and Justin for the best weekend ever! You all made us feel extremely safe and comfortable. We especially loved the watersports (snorkeling, jet skiing, tubing) and the beach all day. It is going to be hard having our cooking after eating all of Anthon's delicious meals. Megs made amazing cocktails too!!! This is a trip that we will never forget!! Justin made the ride feel so smooth and Tammy helped us feel so safe when swimming with sharks. I hope I can be back soon!

Guest Two:
We had the most incredible trip! Every meal was unbelievable and somehow better than the next. We were so taken care of and all of our needs were met, and then some. The excursions were so cool, truly a once in a lifetime expereince. Every moment was magical and the staff made sure of that. I'm so grateful for this unforgettable trip, one I'll cherish forever. From swimming with sharks, snorkeling a plane wreck and jetskiing, I always felt taken care of by Tammy and Justin. Megs attention to detail was unmatched she was always thinking of ways to make our experience better. Anthon's energy was so warm. His food is next level as he took so many cuisines and elevated every dish. Truly the best weekend made possible with this special staff. Thank you for everything.

Guest Three:
This was the most incredible unforgettable trip of my entire life! From the moment we got onboard the fun and amazing memories began. Megs greeted us with the most delicious cocktails and the warmest welcome. Justin is the bestest captain in the whole world! He helped us get out of our comfort zone and took us on the coolest adventures along with Tammy! Without Tammy, I wouldn't have done half of the activities we did. She gave me so much confidence and always made us feel safe. Justin helped me get out of the wake and back in for the first time while waterskiing. He was so patient with all of us and made sure everything was safe and taken care of. Now the food was INCREDIBLE! Every single meal Anthon made was out of this world. He is the most talented chef in the world! Every night there was a creative delicious special meal with a crazy good dessert. We were always wowed with what he did in the kitchen. Meg is the most fun greatest stew! She was always helping us with what we needed and made the best specialty shots! She remembered all of our preferences and was so much fun to talk to. This really was the trip of the lifetime! I cannot thank the crew enough for the past 5 days!

Guest Four:
This truly was a trip of a lifetime. I made so many fun and special memories w/ my friends but also with Justin, Tammy, Megs, and Anthon. The food was out of this world - I couldn't pick a favorite meal. Tammy and Justin were so helpful and knowledgeable. They made every excursion amazing and safe. I felt like I was in great hands the entire time. I never saw them without a smile. The snokeling at the plane was my favorite and Tammy and Justin knew everything! Megs made some kick ass cocktails and always brought high energy. This trip ws so special and wonderful - I never want to leave. Thank you!!!

***March 23-30, 2024***

Many thanks to the crew of Emrys Charter Yacht for the fun times and incredible memories on our Nassau vacation. Our family will cherish them forever.

Kudos to Captain Justin, Tamlyn, and Sammy for the incredible excursions to the Exumas! And for the delicious and exquisite dishes prepared by Chef Anton! This was truly a fine dining experience aboard the Emrys!! We are most grateful for your time and talent!

***April 22-30, 2023***

Des, Taruna, Justin and Anthon,

You have given us an UNBELIEVABLY awesome vacation aboard the EMRYS! It completely blew away our expectations. Completely AMAZING food, Anthon, with outstanding accommodations for the food allergies of our various family members! Taruna, you so cheerfully anticipated our every need, brought us anything we requested, made our guest rooms look beautiful each morning and made us the BEST variety and quality of cocktails we have ever seen! Justin, your enthusiasm for our on and off boat activities was infectious, you made every moment an adventure and you took awesome videos of our vacation! And Des, you are the nicest, most competent captain we could imagine! Thank you ALL!!

***April 12-19, 2023***

Guest One: What can one say to perfection? Capt Des is charming and leads with integrity. Luke is always there, prepared with the right attitude. Chef Anthon, I can’t over communicate our “awe” of your talents. So much diversity, quality and flavor, 5 stars on everything you touch. Sweet Taruna to wake up daily to this smile, this kind of soul, is to truly be in paradise. You have all given us a taste of just that, paradise.

Guest Two: Thank you for the great time we had aboard. On the positive side, Des is a great Captain, Justin was as well so nice and entertaining, Taruna and her beautiful smile and fantastic cocktails, last but not least, Anthon and his amazing food, every day a new surprise and a new taste. On the negative side…. Absolutely nothing! Itinerary was top, I wonder what we can do after such an amazing cruise to top this experience. .

Guest Three: Thank you for this week! It was great! Fantastic! Very deep thanks and congratulations to Des, Justin, Taruna and Anthon for hosting us. The week was amazing, you guys are a great team!

***March 11-19, 2023***

To the lovely crew,

8 days was not enough with you! In fact, when I sat down to write this last night, I got teary and was not prepared to say goodbye. You are the dream team in every sense. Your cherry demeanors, knowledge of the Exumas, and creative ways to keep us entertained were unmatched. We will miss you all! Thank you for the most amazing week.

Captain Des – I’ll work on my jet ski skills until we meet again. Thank you for your great stories, excellent itinerary and for keeping us all safe. You were wonderful. Please come visit us! Would love to host you.

Luke – Thank you for making this so fun for the kids! I loved all of the excursions and they will always burn bright in our memories. We wish you a wonderful and exciting year!

Chef Anthon – You are SO talented. The food was incredible, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’ve never loved every single meal on a charter. The cuisine was so varied and you were so accommodating with our requests, etc. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to meet you!

Taruna – Your sweet smile every morning and your infectious energy was unparalleled. We hope we get to see you in Florida. Thank you for your entertaining our crew this week!

***March 2-9, 2023***

Thank you for what has undoubtedly been the best week of our lives! Everything was absolutely perfect, thanks to all of you.

Captain Des - nightly storytime with you was the best! You kept us laughing and we learned so much about the beautiful islands. We also loved getting to see your family's home on Norman's - so beautiful!

Chef Antone - thanks to you our clothes don't fit after a week of spectacular meals! You exceeded all of our expectations and blew it out of the water every time. We still can't stop talking about these ribs on the private island!

Tavana - you are the queen of cocktails and just the loveliest, most friendly person ever. You always kept smiling and going the extra mile to help us make memories. We adore you!

Luke - you are amazing. You documented every part of our trip to ensure that we'd have a beautiful reminder of this week. You never got stressed or tired (or at least you hid it well), you gave us fantastic trips, kept us safe on the toys, and were just great to be around.

Truly, the crew made this trip - we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and hard work. We will never forget our week on M/Y Emrys!

***January 27-29, 2023***

Dear Meg, dear Des, dear Rob, dear Antone. It's hard to express how much we enjoyed but we can try with a poem:

On crystal blue waters we did sail,
With a crew kind and without fail
Meg, Des, Rob, and Antone were their names
Their service and smiles put us at ease, without any strains
Their kindness and generosity were truly a treat,
Making our trip a memory we’ll always repeat

From navigating the ship to serving meals,
Their skills were truly impressive
We felt safe and so well taken care of
Their attention to detail truly impressive

We’ll remember the memories we made,
Cruising on the sea of the Bahamas with you
And we’ll look back on our journey
With gratitude and fondness of you

We love you!

***January 18-25, 2023***

To our Emrys family,

What a fantastic week have had aboard. Your attention to detail was evident daily.

Antone... you never missed a beat. Everything was prepared perfectly. Every meal we had tasted different from the last. They were picture-perfect. The flavors were paired so well with each course. We will miss all the beautiful pastries customized for us. We hope to read about you in the next Michelin Guide.

Rob... always ready, willing, and definitely able to keep us occupied even though we were and really enjoyed being on Emrys for most of the day. Loved waking up and seeing you smiling from sunrise to sunset. What an asset!!

Des... you have gone above and beyond with all of our requests. And I know they weren’t easy to fulfill. We really enjoyed your familiarity with the islands and learned so much about the area. You made us feel comfortable and safe on and off the water. A truly skilled captain and a wonderful person as well. Thank you for all of your hard work. It did not go unnoticed.

Megs, Megs, Megs...Emrys would not be the same without you. You have catered to our every request. Always ready with the daily cocktail, confirming that we are still content with our menu for the day, always checking on us, going above and beyond as well as making sure we are always full and well “hydrated.” Your attention to detail with your decorations made every meal feel different than the last. Thank you as well for fulfilling our requests for reservations and appointments. That was much appreciated. You are fantastic!!

We will miss our Emrys family and hope to return soon.

***November 12-19, 2022***

Dear Des, Megs, Rob, and Anthon,

Thank you for an amazing time on Emrys. You all went above and beyond taking us snorkeling, lobstering, fishing, tubing, and playing with water toys... Megs waiting with a yummy smoothie when we returned. The memories on Emrys are many but to highlight a few – spearfishing and getting a lobster that Anthon prepared for lunch the next day, fishing and catching a Wahoo, and again, Anthon preparing it jerk style and grilled with your amazing homemade sauces and Pico de Gallo. Cruising, snorkeling, looking for conchs, and Anthon preparing amazing conch chowder. Feeding the pigs and iguanas, nurse sharks, snorkeling the shipwreck and seeing reef sharks, a plane crash, going to the beach and finding shells, snorkeling down to the mermaid and piano.

Each of you worked all day to make our trip so special. Megs, you always made everything perfect. From decorating and making the boat so festive, always checking to make sure we had everything we wanted, keeping the boat immaculately clean and organized, making us delicious smoothies when we retuned from our excursions, having clean towels waiting, filling us in on the Bahamian ways, you are amazing.

Anthon, you will have to roll us off the boat. Thank you for your amazing meals. You are a pro. You were so kind to make everything from scratch from the delicious Thanksgiving dinner, homemade sauces and dressings, preparing our catches for us, your variety and thoughtfulness and time making breakfast lunch and dinner each day.

We appreciate you Des and Rob, you made the trip so fun with the incredible excursions. Your endless energy always willing to take us to snorkel, tube, fish, play on the beach, explore the coral reefs, and kept us entertained from sun up to sun down and more. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in planning our days and always being helpful with what we would see and explaining what we needed to know and do.

We had an amazing time thanks to each of you. We know we have left out numerous memories, but we just wanted you to know what an amazing vacation this was thanks to each of you. You each add so much to our experience and we can't thank you enough.

***July 9-14, 2022 ***

To the benevolent crew of M/Y Emrys,

The ***** family is eternally grateful for your hospitality and kindness on what was our greatest family vacation ever. Thank you for being so helpful and patient with our little kids. I can promise you that all three of our kids will remember this crew for the rest of their lives.

To Justin, thank you so much for being so fun with the kids. They loved the tubing and the sand castles – you are simply the very best my friend. Please never change your wonderful attitude and temperament.

To Chef Anthon, we so enjoyed every meal, snack, and dessert. The food was perfect. Thank you so much for taking much good care of us.

To Megs, you are such a wonderful stew but an even more amazing person. The whole family just adored you and so appreciated everything you did for us. You are an incredible ambassador of the beautiful island and the daughter of what is one of the most special places on earth – The Exumas. Thank you for making our trip so great!

Captain Des, you're the finest captain we’ve chartered with, big or small boats, simply the best. Thank you for the attention to every detail. Thank you for all the attention you gave to the kids. Thank you for all your hard work you and Justin did to make our beach/sandbar setups perfect. And thank you for getting me taken care of for my business needs.

To the benevolent crew of the Emrys, we love you all and are all so very appreciative of making this one amazing voyage, adventure, and vacation for the ****** family.

***June 1-6, 2022***

Celebrating a 2022 graduate from UNC, a 2020 graduate (who never for a celebration due to covid), and two birthdays! What a fabulous week. We had to change our trip itinerary to adjust for a tropical storm, but even so this amazing crew made it all happen! We swam with the pigs, the sharks, the rays... we snorkeled with the turtles! Caught two glorious Mahi Mahi (the fish so nice they named it twice)! We water skied, wake boarded, paddle boarded, explored private beaches. Had lunch off boat at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, dinner off boat at McDuffs at Norman Cay. We got to swim around Pablo Escobar’s sunken airplane at Norman – which was one of the highlights of the trip. But the primary highlight was the incredible crew! Des, Megs, Justin, and Anthon. Wow! Did we score the perfect group for our experience. Everyone was so attentive to our every need – the service was over the top excellent. Outstanding in every way. We especially loved the welcome towels with peppermint scent and the variety of shot cocktails! The theme dinners with appropriate decorations were awesome too – and the food!! Michelin 5-star!! The chef’s table on our final night was a huge hit! The *** family will be back again for sure. Many many thanks for making our experience so extraordinary. We had such a great week on board despite having to navigate some tricky weather. Kudos to this crew for an awesome ‘pivot’ and for making it so much fun along the way.

***March 20-27, 2022***

Guest One:
Thank you for the best vacation! You all were so fabulous, and I can’t wait to come back!

Guest Two:
I with you the same happiness you bring others. I am happy beyond words! Hugs to all.

***March 12-19, 2022***

Guest One:
If I had a yacht I would want all of you as my crew. This week was AMAZING! No detail was left out. Thanks for helping to make memories!

Guest Two:
I cannot say enough great things about this crew. It was almost like they could read our minds. Everything was amazing. The food was incredible.

My grandson said that another yacht trip would not be as great if we didn’t have this crew!

***January 21-28, 2022***

Guest One:
This experience has been absolutely sublime. The wonder of the excursions to the iguanas, swimming pigs, nurse sharks, and the pure joy of playing in the water and napping in the sun provided the relaxation that I solely needed.

The food was excellently prepared, the drinks intoxicatingly delicious, and the appointments of the boat sumptuous.

What made this trip perfect was not the events and food, however it was the graciousness, charm, fun, and fabulousness of Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean. These are the best hosts ever and the trip would not have been the same without them.

Thank you!

Guest Two:
Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean,

Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

Your knowledge, professional demeanor, and attention to detail are superb. You should all get raises! But most importantly, you are just plain wonderful! It has been a joy getting to know you.

The Bahamas are dazzling, but the four of you really made the trip shine!


Guest Three:
Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean,

Ya’ll rock! This week has been amazing. Thank you for taking such excellent care of us and making this the best vacation ever. The way you tailored each day and then went with the flow to make sure each of us had the best time shows that you really cared. Getting to talk to you and learn a little of your stories was also a high point. I truly hope we have a chance to hang out again someday!


Guest Four:
Des Megs, Justin, and Jean,

The care, kindness, creativity, and hospitality of this crew is unmatched. For a compact crew, you demonstrate an outsized capacity to meet our needs – both known and unknown. Before a thought was formed, an answer/drink appears. While the paradise of the Bahamas is its own delight, this has been an extraordinary experience because of each of you, and I am grateful!

***December 12-19 2021***

So you can imagine a family who has visited the Exumas/Bahamas many times before, we had very high expectations. To say that you exceeded all of them is a true measure of your commitment to share your love for this beautiful place with us. We cannot thank you enough for accommodating our crazy food requests. That was obvious when you delivered a “Kit Kat” birthday cake to the Kit Kat birthday girl! It makes the parents so happy when the kids are over the moon and appreciating every moment as much as we did, and I mean every moment.

Each excursion, each meal, each table decor, each special touch. They all added up to one of the best vacations we have ever had and we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips. So bravo Team Emrys, we will remember this trip as one of the best and that has everything to do with the four of you!

Thank you, we so appreciate everything you did for us and we look forward to our return.

***December 2-9, 2021***

Guest One:
This trip has been absolutely amazing! The crew has been spectacular in every way. Your energy level, personal interactions, outstanding service, and local knowledge make you the best at what you do.

It was our good fortune to spend the week with all of you!


Guest Two:
Brilliant crew, superb food, outstanding excursions. Thanks for a fabulous week.


Guest Three:
Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Awesome and knowledgeable crew. A once in a lifetime experience.

***November 22-29, 2021***

Guest one:
We finally did it! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable vacation – and it definitely was!

We all kept saying our week is flying by, time truly flies when you are having a blast!

Thank you all, Des, Megs, Justin, and Nikki for making a fantastic and memorable Thanksgiving holiday for our family!

We will cherish our new friendships, special memories, and all the exciting adventures!

We hope to see you soon!


Guest Two:
This boat trip has been the best, I loved meeting the crew, they were all very sweet and caring. They made the trip very enjoyable. I feel like it flew by because of how much fun I was having. I really hope in the future I will see everyone again.

***June 19-23, 2021***

Guest 1:
This was our virgin charter, wow! What a way to start.

The list of important things for a great vacation was not only met but exceeded. Service...check!

Meghen, Des, Joel, and Justin, you spoiled us. Food, Joel thank you for customizing for our family. Delicious.

We will be back. Everyone made sure we were happy and did it with a smile.

Big thank you!


Guest 2:
Thank you all for making these four days so memorable. I will never forget this trip and all the great memories we made on it.

First of all, thank you to Meghen for putting up with my family who drinks a lot and rapidly making cocktails. Also, for always cleaning my messy room and giving us scented towels and drinks.

Justin, thank you for showing us all the amazing parts of the Bahamas like feeding the fish, sharks, and pigs.

Joel, thank you for always making such delicious meals for us every day and teaching me how to bake muffins. I hope to see you on TV cooking something.

Finally, Des, thank you for trying to teach me how to waterski and wakeboard. I loved all your jokes.

Thank you all for being an amazing Captain and crew for my crazy family!


Guest 3:
Meghen, your candles are amazing, thank you got making the living room and kitchen smell delicious. Thank you so much for welcoming us onto the boat with such friendly drinks and gestures! Also, for cleaning my messy room that I probably left dirty clothes on the floor of.

Des, thank you so much for keeping us alive by steering the boat and bringing us on amazing adventures with creatures and critters!

Justin, you literally took us everywhere on the tender. Also, I am very grateful for the hotdogs and cereal that made us attractive to the fish. You told us awesome pirate stories and caught all of our hilarious moments on film. Thank you for taking us on awesome tubing adventures.

Joel, you truly are an amazing chef and always surprised and delighted us all with every creation. I really can’t wait to see you on America’s Top Chef or something along like that line. Thank you so much for teaching me some cooking skills and giving me recipes! I promise to make them at home – or at least try to! It was so much fun getting to cook with you and learning new techniques. You really are the best Jiu-jitsu master chef I’ve ever met. Thank you!

Thank you all so much for putting up with my family, it truly is a talent. Thank you for making this trip as memorable as it is and for making our stay on the yacht truly an unforgettable one. I know we all had such an amazing it’s honestly because all of you.

I hope to see you all again sometime, but until then, thank you!


Guest 4:
Wow. I’m sure that’s probably a very strange way to start a note but let me explain.

When you think of all the qualities of a perfect trip, I’m almost certain at the top of that list is food, freedom, activities, organized, and rare experiences that you will remember for the rest of your life. This is where the “wow” comes. Somehow everything on this list was met and exceeded. Wow.

I thought this feat could never be completed, yet, it was.

Wow, Joel, I’m not sure how you did it. Somehow you made every meal, appetizer, and dessert perfect for all six of us.

Justin! I’m guessing Justin had at least 20 years of experience with that boat for how perfectly he always parked it and controlled it. Also thank you so much for still being so great to me, even though I had a terrible first impression (I got pretty seasick on our first day).

Des, you are maybe one of the most patient and helpful people I know. With all of our weird questions we ask you, I’ve never seen a hint of annoyance or frustration. Through my many failed wakeboarding attempts, instead of a “I’m sick of this, let's just get it over with” you helped me back up, and told me what I could do to stay up for longer next time. All this and also being able to direct a giant ship like this.

Meghen! Everyone always thinks of swimming with sharks or jumping off the top of a boat, as the best parts of a trip. While that’s true, less often do people look at the behind-the-scenes. While we’re out doing that Meghen is here cleaning and making our return the best and nicest it could be. I always hop off the boat and see a warm towel and delicious drink there for me.

This is why I say “wow.” A perfect crew for a perfect trip.


Guest 5:
What a perfect inaugural yacht trip! From the minute we started the plans to the moment we will step off the boat, this has been an amazing journey with no detail ignored! We will keep the Bahamian waves in our hearts with each of you holding a very special place. We cannot wait to come back!

Thank you Meghen, Des, Justin, and Joel!


Guest 6:
Thank you so much for everything! I’ve felt so safe on this trip, and I was honestly so worried. I am so incredibly grateful for the work you guys have done to make our vacation so special!

Thank you, Joel, for the amazing food! I was excited for every meal! And Meghen thank you for always being so incredibly helpful and fantastic! Des, thank you for being so calm (which kept me calm) and planning and executing the trip at every stop. Justin, thank you for driving us on the tender, and all the history stories you knew, also for taking the videos!

Thank you all for making us feel super welcome and excited throughout the whole trip!

***June 10-17***

Guest One: We just left Emrys and already at the Bahamas airport for a flight back to Miami. I am writing on behalf of myself and my entire family, to thank you all for the wonderful week of vacation we had. Unforgettable! Everything perfect and above all, the exceptional crew led by the spectacular Captain Desmond, Megs, Joel and Justin. They were exceptional with us, making us feel at home with 5 star top service. Once again our recognition and gratitude for this Crew The Emrys Yacht was also excellent and met all our expectations. We will certainly be in touch very soon to book the next charter.”

Guest Two: We know how hard it is to keep a staff in this level. Their score is 11, more than 10.

***April 17-24, 2021***

Guest 1:
We have been on 20 dive and ocean vessels. This is by far the best boat, the best time, and the best crew ever!!! Keep this crew.
Captain Des, Meghen, Justin and Joel are extremely caring and efficient. Safety first!! So much fun!! Great staff and chef.

Guest 2:
Missing you guys already. I have never been so sad to leave and it’s all because of you. Thank you so much. You made our trip unforgettable. Good food, good people, great service.

Guest 3:
This has been a trip of a lifetime. The crew Meghen, Captain Des, Joel, and Justin were awesome. The food was impeccable, Meghen was on top of everything, we didn’t have to ask her for everything. Justin was so helpful to me and I appreciate it. Captain Des answered all my boat questions and very patient.

Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Awesome time, this crew made a great time a dream. From the food to drinks we never wanted for anything. Very informative as well. This trip is a 10.

***April 3-10, 2021***

Thank you Des, Meghen, Joel, and Justin for making it a trip of a lifetime once again. Everyday you made sure we had a new experience and everything was done with a “wow” factor. Meghen and Des, your attention to detail is amazing.

As you know, we have done a fair amount of charters and no one comes close to your ability to make a vacation the best it can be. We love your stories, knowledge, dedication, kindness, and company. We will follow you anywhere. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.

Meghen, we wish you the best on your endeavours of shutting the box. We’re confident you will triumph, please let us know when this happens. We hope your leg heals soon.

Joel, your talents in the kitchen are unparalleled! Our first meal was fantastic and every meal after it got better and better. How did you do that?!

Justin, you fit in as one of the family and we enjoyed your sense of humor on game night. We adore you.

Thank you for the wonderful memories. We will cherish them forever.
Until next time.

Thank you for a magical voyage. Des, Megan and Justin. You made each day a joy filled with extraordinary excursions, each day was even more magical. And Joel-you are such a talented chef. Every meal was stupendously delicious. The cauliflower pasta was the bet pasta I ever tasted! The ribeye, the fajitas the chicken, the best ever!
All of you are so special. Megan- your birthday decorations were just amazing, you could start your own business. The jet skiing and the tubing was hilarious and fun! You, the crew made our trip the most wonderful trip I have ever had. You are our new family. I could write 20 pages about each fantastic memory. but then there would be no room for the other guests to write! Justin – you made our excursions so phenomenal and you have gotten us to love jet skiing again. Bravo to you all – I truly mean it when I say you are the number one crew I have ever experienced. Always present to help and bring us anything we needed. My only sadness is leaving you. As I feel like home here with the extraordinary Emry’s family. What an experience. One I will never forget because of you!! Be safe and happy until we meet again! May God hold you all in the palm of his glorious hand!

Different boat, same spirit. We told you we would follow you wherever you go. This new boat doesn’t know how lucky it is to have such a special crew, but they will quickly see your uniqueness and your gift for showing people what it means to live in the moment. You have become part of our family. Not sure what was more fun seeing you all laughing on the hotdog, or watching you play charades. We wish you had more time to enjoy yourselves. We know you are working around the clock to make each trip magical. And we appreciate you always going above and beyond, from the amazing food, to the super cool adventures, keeping us safe, making us feel special, and always sharing good laughs.
Sarah, hands down the best food any of us have ever had, no matter where we’ve been in the world, or what restaurants we have ever been to. You are beyond talented. Justin, the girls give you a 10 out of 10 for tubing experiences. One minute we are hanging on for our lives, the next we are being cruised around a beautiful island to see the colors of low tide. Meghen, is there anything you can’t do? You are so quick witted, and have the best sense of humor. We could listen to you all day. You somehow can read people’s minds, and before we can even ask for something, it suddenly appears.
Captain Des, Tyler will never forget you teaching him how to navigate through the ocean. It takes a special person to have so much patience with children. And our children look up to you as a role model. Thank you for the very serious life lessons you have taught them. We are fortunate to have someone so genuine in our lives. You took us nonstop exploring, showing us how to respect other people, other cultures, and the world around us. Thank you all for sharing your life stories with us. You are amazing people. It’s always difficult to leave you guys. The impact you have on all of us, especially our children, makes us better people. We hope in life that your kindness comes full circle, and you get everything you deserve and more. The hardest part of leaving isn’t leaving the ocean it’s leaving all of you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being you. We love you!!!

It is hard to think of the words to describe such an amazing trip! Sarah’s food was the best I have ever had and she made everything taste so good! Justin and Des took us on so many amazing adventures and answered all of Jayme’s endless questions! Meghen took care of everything and kept us laughing the whole time. We cannot thank the crew enough for such a wonderful week and helping us make so many great memories with our family!

Another absolutely wonderful trip because of you (Des, Megs, Justin & Sarah).
