This is our 3rd time on a catamaran trip. This trip has been epic. All the places we got to see and experience have been better than we expected and you continued to surprise us and show us places/things that we haven’t done. The food was incredible and just overall an amazing trip. We look forward to our next trip.

Wow! What an unforgettable week - we truly feel like we hit the jackpot with the timing of our trip and getting placed with you. Every detail was perfect. Your energy and warmth and attention to detail made our experience magical.
Noah - thank you for keeping us safe, charting the course and always greeting us with a calm and confident presence.
Jorja - your food was out of this world. Every meal was somehow better than the last and you made it look effortless.
You’re both so talented at what you do and more importantly, just really great people. Thank you for sharing your time with us - hopefully our paths will cross again soon.

Thank you for making my first trip and first charter to BVIs memorable! The experience was amazing and Noah your knowledge of the waterways was appreciated and a gift! Your skills as a captain were highly professional and I felt safe at all times.
Jorja’s skills in the kitchen were impressive and my belly was always happy!
Belle Vie is lucky to have you both as are the Belle Vie guests!

This was our 2nd yacht charter - first to the BVI and we must say that you set the bar unbelievably high for our 3rd!
Noah - we appreciate you taking us to all of your favorite spots (we especially loved Prickly Pear beach), navigating us safely, “dinghy-ing” us around, and all of the things you do behind the scenes. We also were elated to see a dozen dolphins, and the sunset/full moon on our last day!
Jorja - when are you opening the restaurant!? We have boujee palates and you made some of the best cuisine I’ve tasted! The potato salad, bao bunds, Mediterranean red snapper meals were my favorites! Thank you for teaching us some your Scottish culture - the Cranachan was a nice surprise!
If our paths meet again on a future charter, we would not be disappointed! Thanks for everything.

We had a fantastic time!!! Jorja and Noah were amazing. We left Scrub Island Sunday and headed to Cooper Island and Willy T's. Such a great afternoon. Spent the night there, went to Peter Island for a few hours Monday morning and then headed to Virgin Gorda where we docked in marina there. Tuesday we went to the Bath's, amazing, and then headed to other side of the island where we went to Saba Rocks and spent the night there. Left Wednesday morning to head to Jost Van Dyke, hit Soggy Dollar bar in the afternoon and Foxy's at night. Another amazing day. Sailed back to Scrub Island Thursday and spent last few nights on Tortola.
Everything was absolutely amazing. It was everything we had hope and more.
We'll definitely look to do another trip with Noah and Jorja.

Thank you for such a wonderful week! I had high expectations for this trip and the two of you exceeded all of them! Everything from the details you gave attention to - like the cozy beach decor and the amazing food and presentation. It was all so lovely. And of course the destinations, the variety, the snorkeling. Everything was so perfect!

Stella and Iona - This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity . . . we thought, but we are now planning our next time! You ladies made this such an amazing experience!!

From the moment we met we knew we were in capable hands. We are so impressed with your confidence, competence and professionalism. We loved every stop - like waking up on Christmas Day! Stella, you were always at the ready to answer our questions and tote us where we wanted. And Iona, we’ve never been so delighted by mealtime. Your skills in the kitchen were out of this world! Our bellies will be grateful forever!
To you both - a dynamic duo - capable, confident and so very IMPRESSIVE.
Our next trip will only require two things - STELLA & IONA
PS we’ve been to many amazing places across the globe… this was by FAR our BEST family vacation - because of you both!

We are so appreciative of the care you planned and executed our holiday adventure with. The table settings were extraordinary, the moorings, just right, the route selected to ensure fair winds and following seas, the meals planned and executed to many dietary restrictions, with. Most importantly, you both bring a quiet confidence and smile, making even the most timid sailor comfortable. Thank you for that most. Our family trip was a huge success because of you. Your unique skills, talents and personalities made this year's present one we will cherish for years to come.
