To Rosie & Adam,

We are so grateful to have spent such a wonderful debut charter week with the two of you onboard Mare Blu. We have been touched by your hospitality, warmth and generosity of spirit.

Rosie - your cheffing skills and culinary sense (not to mention your wicked captain capacity) were amazing.

Adam - your attention to detail (immaculate table outfitting) and especially your careful attention to the care and safety of the Mare Blu and her guests was fantastic.

We feel privileged to be your first charter on this beautiful boat and do hope that your continue to go from enjoyment to enjoyment as you share your love for being on the water, these magnificent islands and each other.

With Gratitude,
K & M

Week in the British Virgin Islands aboard Mare Blu was an absolute dream come true

DEC 7-17 Aboard the Mare Blu -

We recently embarked on a week-long adventure in the British Virgin Islands, chartering a new to us boat that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we set foot on board, it was clear that we were in for a remarkable journey. Our Captain, Tony, and the exceptional crew made this trip a truly unforgettable experience.

Captain Tony was the anchor to a great team. His extensive knowledge of the British Virgin Islands, coupled with his passion for sailing, ensured that we enjoyed the most of our trip given the weather and the fact this was our 15th year in the BVI. Tony's friendly demeanor and willingness to share stories and insights about the islands added a personal touch to our adventure.

The crew (Jordon & Darsey) on board was nothing short of incredible. Although Darsey was only stepping in for Mia, she did her proud in all respects! A tip of the hat to Virgin Charter Yachts for making sure our experience never changed with a crew change. They operated seamlessly, taking care of all our needs with efficiency and a smile. From helping us with water sports activities to keeping a cold drink of choice in your hand, they were always one step ahead. Their hospitality and warmth made us feel like part of the family, and their dedication to ensuring our comfort was truly commendable.

One of the highlights of our charter experience was the exceptional culinary skills displayed by the onboard chef Darsy. Each meal was a masterpiece, carefully prepared using fresh, local ingredients. From mouthwatering seafood dishes to delectable desserts, our taste buds were in constant awe. Dietary preferences and allergies were accommodated with ease, showcasing her versatility and attention to detail.

The vessel itself was a marvel, perfectly suited to our needs. It was clean, well-maintained, and spacious, providing ample room for relaxation and recreation. The cabins were comfortable, offering a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. The boat's amenities, including water toys, snorkeling gear, and comfortable lounging areas, ensured that we were always entertained and comfortable.

Highly Recommended

In conclusion, our week in the British Virgin Islands aboard this charter boat was an absolute dream come true. Captain Tony and his crew went above and beyond to make this journey extraordinary. The stunning beauty of the islands, the delectable cuisine, and the comfortable accommodations combined to create an experience that we will cherish forever.

If you are considering a charter in the British Virgin Islands, we wholeheartedly recommend Captain Tony and this exceptional crew. Their dedication to ensuring a memorable trip is unparalleled, and we are grateful for the memories they helped create. Don't miss the opportunity to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with this outstanding team. We are already looking forward to our next voyage with them!

Thank you, Captain Tony and crew, for making our British Virgin Islands charter an experience beyond compare. You've set the bar incredibly high, and we are grateful for the memories that will last a lifetime.
