2024 Guest Feedback for Stewart and Reeve
Everything Was Absolutely Perfect!
Easily one of the best (if not the best) vacations I have ever taken. Everything was absolutely perfect. Stewart and Reeve were gracious and engaging and made our time together all the better. The Ether was well appointed, the meals that Reeve prepared were delicious and elegant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We had a group of 8 (2 families and our children) and had an absolute blast, making 2 new friends in Stewart and Reeve. A++++

Just Do It!
The trip of a lifetime!
We just returned from a week on the catamaran, and I’m still dreaming about the turquoise water, unforgettable memories, and—most of all—the incredible people we shared it with. Stewart and Reeve weren’t just skilled professionals—they were kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and truly unforgettable.
From morning coffees with a view, to meals that rivaled any five-star restaurant (seriously—every dish was a work of art), to belly laughs under the stars, every single moment was magic. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, but it was the people who made this trip so special. We came away not just relaxed and recharged, but feeling like better humans for having spent time with such extraordinary souls.
If you’re lucky enough to book this experience—DO IT. You’ll make memories that stay with you forever.

Crew Were Unbelievable.
These two were unbelievable…. They knew exactly what to do and kept us busy!! They were extremely nice and we all felt like friends.
Captain Stewart knew what he was doing and was a very funny guy.
Also, Chef Reeve made the best food I have ever had. The food was truly amazing. Overall great experience and I wouldn’t change anything about this crew.

I Couldn't Recommend The Crew Enough
I’ve never been on a trip where the crew has truly made an unforgettable experience.
Stewart and Reeve are the most amazing people.
Stewart radiates of positive energy and is full of funny jokes while Reeve is one of the sweetest girls who instantly became my friend.
Captain Stewart taught us how to sail while Reeve made the most delicious food (ask for the Caribbean chicken salad!!).
I couldn’t recommend this crew enough.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.

The food was some of the very best I’ve ever had, Reeve is an absolutely amazing chef the presentation and the quality was amazing and delicious.(she even had her own herb garden she used in the meals)
I can’t give enough praise for these two truly the best experience ever!

The Best Kind Of Humans!
We are a family of three and this being our first sailing charter with a two person crew, we did not quite know what to expect. The boat was lovely, well appointed, and comfortable.
The real stars of our vacation were Captain Stewart and First mate/chef Reeve. These two are the best kind of humans! Generous with their upbeat energy and humor.
Whether sailing, snorkeling, or sitting around playing board games, we had the absolute best time with them. Frankly, we don’t know if we will be able to enjoy future vacations without them. I could gush on and on about how wonderful they are.
Cherry on top, Reeve is an exceptional chef, she made the most wonderful meals! We only ate one meal off the boat and I definitely preferred her cooking.

Reeve and Stewart were amazing! Our first time sailing with them (of many years sailing in the Virgin Islands) and they made sure we had a fantastic time. Reeve cooks a fantastic meal and Stewart pours a mean painkiller - we are heading home very well looked-after. Lots of sailing fun, diving competitions, and some mean card and board game playing at anchor. 10/10 and hope to sail with you both again next year!

Were Both Amazing
Good was great, boat was great, Stewart and Reeve were both amazing and brilliant company to have for a week.
Lots of snacks offered on board if someone got hungry between meals and we had lots of opportunities to explore in the ocean and on land, if we wanted.

Fantastic!
Our week exploring the USVI and BVI aboard *Ether* was fantastic, thanks to the skill and hospitality of Stewart and Reeve. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, but what made the trip truly special was their thoughtful approach and seamless execution.
Every aspect of the trip was customized to our preferences, from the itinerary to the excellent meals. Stewart and Reeve have a calm, confident way about them that made everything feel effortless. We know that sailing and hospitality come with their challenges, but if there were any, we never noticed—they handled everything smoothly.
Beyond the great experiences they created for us, Stewart and Reeve were simply great company. Spending a week in close quarters with them was easy and enjoyable, and we’d happily sail with them again. If you're looking for a charter, *Ether* with Stewart and Reeve is a great choice.

Amazing Time
We had an amazing time.
Stuart and Reeve were incredible. They made the experience. We saw some beautiful spots, snorkeled and paddle boarded.
Reeve’s food was delicious. Presentation was great and food was very flavorful.
Stuart was not only a great captain but also a great bartender! 😀 Overall, we highly recommend Stuart and Reeve!

What a week!
Capt Stewart and Chef Reeve exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we boarded, they made us feel like Ether was our home.
With their signature warmth and humor, they tended to our every need.
We sailed, kayaked, snorkeled, learned how to do stand up paddle boarding, and did nothing at all when we felt like it.
On top of that, we feasted on Reeve’s creative and delicious meals three times a day. The trip may have been only a week, but our lovely memories will last a lifetime.

Gracious Hospitality and Care
There are some vacations you enjoy because of the location, others because of the wonderful food, and still others because of the excellent service.
Our time on the Ether with Stewart and Reeve combined all of the above and more. It was a perfect week of sailing the BVI - full of beautiful locations, lots of laughter and wonderful conversations with our dear friends, as well as our new ones, Stewart and Reeve.
They allowed us to be as active (or not) as we wanted . . . Lazy napping, paddle boarding, kayaking, a bit of snorkeling, a light hike, and taking the wheel of the Ether (without incident)! We would return to this boat - and with this crew - in a flash. It was a beautiful week we’ll always remember. Thank you Reeve and Stewart for your graciousness, hospitality and care. We look forward to sailing with you again very soon!

Most Memorable Time Of Our Lives!
To say that our week with Stewart and Reeve, aboard Ether was above &beyond our expectations doesn’t do justice to the incredible experience provided to us. From our initial communication, and throughout the entire trip, their attention to detail, easy-going and relaxed manner and humor created an atmosphere that was as special as the stunning beauty surrounding us.
The itinerary, planned by the amazing Captain Stewart brought us to sunny beaches, great snorkeling spots, hiking adventures, fantastic sailing days, paddle boarding, and “subnado” runs was eclipsed only by the scrumptious menu, crafted by our spectacular chef Reeve.
We’ll miss Captain Stewart’s morning breakfast calls, Reeve’s warm morning smile with a full pot of coffee in hand, all the laughs, and jokes throughout the day. We left lots of bubbles in the water, and took memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t thank this crew enough, or express how they really made our trip one of the most memorable times of my life.
Reeve and Stewart a special crew!

From The Bottom Of Our Hearts
Our charter on Ether around the BVIs was a trip of a lifetime. What an awesome way to connect with friends and explore a beautiful part of the world. Everyday was filled with a healthy mix of adventure and ‘painkiller’ cocktails.
Such a heartfelt thank you to Stewart and Reeve for such fantastic hospitality. I think we can all agree that we’re going to miss the banter, laughter, warmth and exceptional dishes that were served every day.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🫶
