MOTU

Charter Feb 18th - 25th, 2012 / SXM / 6 guests

Dear Janet,

We truly had an incredible time on Motu. It is a beautiful catamaran, very spacious and comfortable. The staterooms were roomy and the shower and bath amazingly adequate.

There was always hot water and the king-sized beds were comfortable. Dany always managed to make up our beds each morning without us knowing. She is an exceptional chef, serving eclectic meals three times a day.

Frankly, I don't know how she put everything together in such a small galley. We were served lasagna, boeuf bourguignon, lobster, salmon in puff pastry, just to name a few of her dishes. The assortment of cheeses were always varied, and desserts included creme brûlée, chocolate fondant, and fondue served in a hollowed out pineapple. I could go on and on about the food on board!

Jeff is an accomplished captain, having sailed across the Atlantic many times, including solo. Our seas were often rough, but we were veryconfident of his abilities. He has a marvelous sense of humor, very quick, and his knowledge of the Caribbean Sea impressive. The two of them were fun to be around.



We sailed from St. Martins to Anguilla, then to St. Barth. Next we had a 6-7 hour sail to Nevis, St. Kitts, then back to St. Barths and St. Martins. Wonderful sailing.

Will fill out form and send back to you soon.

Tiel

Comment on the comfort onboard Motu: We found Motu to be of the utmost in comfort – the cabins were spacious, the bathrooms and separate shower were very accommodating, the living spaces on the boat were superb.  We especially enjoyed the large pillows lining the front of the boat for relaxing.  Every inch of Motu is suited for complete comfort.



Comment on the condition of Motu: The condition of Motu was top-notch.  We had no complaints whatsoever and the conditions throughout our trip exceeded expectations.

Charter M. / 8 guests /  January 21-28, 2012 / St Marteen

Bonsoir Patrizia,

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour sur le confortable MOTU et, à peine avons-nous déposé nos bagages à la maison , que les bercements de ce magnifique catamaran nous manquent déjà…..

L’accueil de Jeff et Dany a été des plus chaleureux et nous nous sommes rapidement « apprivoisés » mutuellement.

Il faut souligner  ici le double « challenge » journalier de Dany et Jeff  sur le Motu : être à la fois si nécessairement  présents et si totalement discrets.

L’itinéraire proposé par Jeff nous a permis d’expérimenter une première approche des Antilles avec un juste équilibre entre les heures de navigation et les heures de pause.

Heures de pause durant lesquelles Dany n’a pas manqué de nous gâter avec ses délicieuses préparations culinaires…

Bref, que du bonheur aux couleurs de Sandy Island et St Barth ….

 Charter cruise on April 24th - May 1st, 2010 in the BVI's 

We are safely home to our own bed and shower and toilet and it feels great.  We miss you guys.

Anne and I already have re-lived every moment on Motu.   Our group had such a good time with you during our week in the Caribbean.  Each and every stop was outstanding and better than the previous.  It is with many heartfelt thanks and well wishes to you for our memories of a lifetime.

Where do I begin to thank you for our week?  I think the....ICE.  all Americans require it and I am the worst. From the moment we boarded the Motu, I knew it would be a great week. Motu was clean, big, and fun. 

You and Dany made it special and it showed.  I know good service, genuine people, and a good time from having traveled the World, but you two made it a trip of a lifetime for all of us.  There is no better crew than you and Dany!

Dany, the hospitality you showed was over the top.  We will be talking about the food, forever.  It was absolutely delicious.  I cannot pick my favorite, but the Lasagna was close and the cheeseburger was excellent.  All your snacks were exceptional and the shrimp kabobs and beef kabobs were delicious.  My bed was always made and the bathroom clean...many thanks.

Jeff, you were a true hero.  We all felt safe in your hands and your knowledge of everything superseded all our expectations.  I especially thank you for the care of me and Anne, it was needed and appreciated. 

Your never used the word, "No!"  you helped make the trip exceptional in all aspects.

Thanks for a great trip and we wish you exceptional travels, always.

November 15th - 22th, 2008 / TORTOLA - TORTOLA

My apologies for not responding to your original feedback (survey) request about the charter. 

We will complete the survey in the very near future.  

However, to give you some immediate, brief feedback ... it was WONDERFUL!!!  

The couple that we traveled with (Rob and Leann) both said to me, "Woody, we had high expectations (for this vacation), and without question they were GREATLY exceeded!  The boat, the crew, the experience...WOW...we can't say enough!"  

Their feedback was important, because it was my wife and my recommendation to do a sail charter in the BVI.  Additionally, I handled all the details...well, you actually handled most of them!

At any rate, we're very pleased, and have been telling all our friends about the boat, Jeff & Dany, our experiences, and you.  I think you can expect a few bookings!!
