As the trip planner for the soggy six group, I can truly say that we hit the jackpot! The best crew, beautiful boat and the most amazing backdrop made for an adventure of a lifetime. You were both so talented as captain & crew - the sailing was amazing & the food to die for. I'll be dreaming about our experiences! for years to come! Thank you both for a fabulous week on EMYSA! We hope to sail the seas with you again!

We can truly say this was in our top 5 vacations & we can’t name the others (ha)! You exceeded our expectations! The island locations, the colours, the food, the company! keep doing what you're doing! You two are very hardworking, knowledgeable and gracious! Thank you so much! And keep that sense of adventure!
-Dave and Cindy
We know the soggy six would have a phenomenal trip together, but we did not anticipate the two of you and how you would make our trip truly EPIC! Caleb, you took such good care of us! The boat was spotless (and we did our best to keep it that way!), the curated adventures were so beautiful, and a new experience every day! The vistas were unparalleled. And then there was the food! Deeks, you managed to blow us away with your amazing culinary skills. Every single meal was better than the prior. You raised the seemingly unraisable bar every single day. The two of you never made us feel like an inconvenience or in your way. You were beyond professional and your interactions were so sweet. You are great partners and you made our trip infinitely more special. Thank you for our incredibly week aboard Emysa. We cannot wait to sail with you again!

Last week me and my wife and two other couples chartered the EMYSA for a week-long trip in the BVIs. The captain was Caleb Haydock and the chef was Adhika Malhotra. The trip totally exceeded our expectations in so many ways and as a group we attributed much of the experience to our crew. The attributes that made the cruise so enjoyable included:
Hospitality - From when we arrived till the time we departed Caleb and Adhika were on point, attending to our every need, be it a fantastic meal, a cool fresh drink or a warm dry towel. I can't tell you how that type of attentiveness made for such an enjoyable experience.
Work Ethic - From dawn till dusk Caleb and Adhika were cleaning the boat, preparing meals and readying water equipment for our use. They were moving the entire time making sure we were prepared for our next BVI experience.
Knowledge - Caleb captained the boat like a pro. Two of us are boat owners and were continually impressed by his yachtsmanship. Adhika is a Five Star Chef! The meals she prepared were visually appealing and just as delicious.
I have managed global sales and marketing organizations for most of my professional career and the Caleb and Adhika embody the attributes that make for winning teams. As an employer, they are excellent ambassadors of your brand. We were lucky to have them as our crew. We'll be back!

Over the pat 25 yeas, my wife and I have enjoyed sailing in the BVIs. Without a doubt,
we have never had a crew we enjoyed sailing with or were taken as Care of as well as
this trip with y’all.
I have never eater as well either. Sailing with four rids under 12 always adds a little
spice butY’all were incredible with then and
so caring to adjust the meals to cater to the littles. I haven’t ever seen my kids eat as
much as they did this week. Caleb thank you for adjusting our plan daily to make each
day special for our kids and thank you for setting up all the excursions like taking my
kids to catch lobster in the reet off Anegada. I also appreciate you waking up so early to
run me over to the island to run at 5 am. As the kids get bigger, I am going to need yall
to move to a bigger boat so we can make more memories with you in the future. We
cont imagine sailing with anyone else.
Thank you again for such an incredible week full of priceless memories. We will be
praying for you both that you will continue to make memories together, for safety for you
both and knowledge that you are blessed.

roller coaster waves on the nets and snorkeling near Willy T's bar. Thank you for being
so kind and making my birthday so fun and special. Deeks, thank you for changing my
life with food, now I know there is B.D. and A.D. (Before Deeks and after Deeks). You
