Charter Yacht MERRY-TIME Guest Reviews
Amazing Trip
It's not possible to overstate how amazing this trip was, and it was absolutely due to the way that Ron and Mary ran their ship and the expertise of the 2 captains we had (Malcom, Jeremy). We sailed for 7 days with them in the BVI, and while the locale was of course amazing, the 'experience' was due to the hospitality and tireless service from the crew. We came on as guests and left as good friends.....what more can you say? :) Trip of a lifetime. My wife and I have already been scheming how to get our family back down here to do the Merrytime again. Thank you, Ron, Mary, Malcom and Jeremy. You made this trip! -The Wright FamilyDecember 2023
We hit a grand slam when we chose the Merry Time Yacht. Ron and Mary were great hosts. The food was incredible. The ship was clean. We were spoiled to the maximum. This was our first experience on renting a private yacht. Mary and Ron were the absolute best. They took care of our every need. The food Mary cooked was amazing. They were so very kind and went overboard (literally) to accommodate us. I highly, highly recommend taking a trip on Merry-Time.... - The Butterfields
Great Time
Our week on Merry -Time was one of the most enjoyable vacations we have ever taken. Beautiful boat, excellent crew, and unforgettable food! I want to do it again! Thanks to Mary, Ron, and Malcolm for a great adventure. -The Walkers
