The crew was exemplary. They were very friendly, happy, professional, interactive and a keen sense to our needs. Their work was seamless. We had a great captain... voiced his commands respectfully and precisely. He provided the dinghy which allowed us our water sports. We played (doing something special each day... water skiing, tubing, wake boarding, hobbie cat, paddle boarded) and snorkeled every day. The Baths were awesome as always. Every place they took us was fabulous. The chef filled our tummies with three full meals a day and everyone enjoyed every meal. It's hard to believe she could make us all happy while cooking all day long for 10 of us. The food was excellent. She also set up reservations where and when we needed them. Excellent, excellent, creative meals. We had everything we wanted. The changed center pieces with each dinner were remarkable... warm and inviting.
The boat was clean and well maintained. They took great pride in offering us a gorgeous vessel. The crew cleaned our cabins daily and provided a linen change mid trip. Everything worked as it should.
SO... on to Liam! Oh my, oh my did they ever make it a memorable trip for Liam. Liam had a great time. He was presented upon embarkation, a treasure challange. On the scroll it had several things to complete before the end of the trip...He was so excited..... tying knots, sailing a hobbie cat, feeding the Tarpin, water skiing , drawing a picture of a couple things, helping the chef make brownies for dessert one night..... he played chess with the crew, he and the captain tested many chocolate chips for the brownies, the crew taught him about the sails on Seahome and let him captain the wheel. He loved the snorkeling and the tube... all the places we went. Extra cuddle time with Mommy and Daddy. He jumped off the boat, he helped serve the meals... It could have not been better for him. On the last night on the boat , the crew presented Liam with a certificate of completion and a case that contained the treasure... all kinds of dinosaur things, candy,..... he was very excited . We all were very touched. He cried because he didn't want to go home. The crew also gave us a card and a flash drive of all the pictures he had taken of us throughout the week. Awesome.
I could go on and on, Hadley. Suffice it to say we all had a marvelous, happy time . One we will all keep close in our hearts forever. As you had suspected ... it all ended with many, many hugs, exchange of info and invites to come visit. As for your involvement, [...].
Our best to you. Fondly, Linda and Bill

Our chartered vacation was incredible. The crew were absolutely fantastic. From the small details to the new adventures every day, it could not have been a better experience. Ultra was a beautiful boat. Very well maintained, clean, and comfortable for everyone on the trip. The food was BEYOND our expectations! The chef is an incredible chef. The food was exquisite, the presentation was beautiful, and every day the menu was completely different. She was able to accommodate all of our dietary restrictions and made everyone feel special. Our Captain, went above and beyond to ensure we were having an amazing experience. They were extremely attentive to our requests and was very knowledgeable. Every aspect of the trip was planned out and there wasn’t a detail that was overlooked. It was my husband’s birthday, and they made sure it was a special and memorable one. I cannot speak highly enough about the crew. They are a great team.”

AMAZING-pretty much the perfect crew. They are young and happy, experienced and energetic, thoughtful and caring. They managed everything as if it were nothing, all the while making sure we had everything we needed and more. The first day when I went down to our cabin and saw that the bed was made- I thought- OMG this is really over the top!
They are fun to be with, manage the crew/guest relationship really well- and for guests who are sailors, and alert to all the stuff that goes into managing a boat and sailing and and and- they did it all with ease and quiet communication and confidence.
Plus, the boat itself is really pretty awesome. Very comfortable, well designed, accommodating. We got to do a lot of sailing (hooray!) and that was great.
The chef is truly an amazing cook. The time and energy she puts into her meals- her presentation, the quality, all of it is very yummy and impressive.
