Charter Yacht Dolce Vita Guest Reviews
Bahamas with the BEST CREW - 15 out of 10!!!
Y'all, these folks are the WAY TO GO! When we started looking with very short notice, the gentleman we spoke with worked non-stop to get us with the closest set-up to what we needed. We originally were trying to get on a power-catamaran, but there were none available in our requested price range in the Bahamas. But Jeremy Snider worked through an evening and most of a day to match us with a sail catamaran that would get the job done, and we are so thankful he did! We were set up with the most incredible Captain and Chef - Louis and Tersia. I've never met such kind and accommodating people from the moment they sent a welcome letter through the entire trip. They were in constant contact asking any of our preferences and special requests and doing everything in their power to make it all happen. And her meals - 15 OUT OF 10! Above and beyond what we were expecting...from the taste to the presentation, every bite we took was delicious! She even made us a Thanksgiving dinner- AND they helped us set a projector up for the Thanksgiving football games! Ps- I've never had turkey so moist and perfectly cooked. Ever. Capitan Louis kept us informed and asked our opinions on the itinerary, taking any of our must-do-excursions in mind. We encountered great weather, so we've been lucky there, but I'm sure there was a large part that the captain took into consideration to keep us comfortable and safe. Long-winded story short, do everything you can to make it happen with this crew. They make you feel like royalty while being a part of the family with you. I'll never forget this trip!
