Dear Charlie and Carolina Thank you for a wonderful experience. Coronavirus did not stop our group from having fun! Your home on the sea was so much fun, the food delicious, the Titos Tings perfect! Cake for breakfast and a huge Party on the last night! We wish you health and happiness! Christy W. I had so much fun. My favourite place was the National Park in St. John and I loved the Liza's huge Birthday Party. Cake for breakfast PLUS PLUS. I saw a Turtle, a Dolphin, Sting Ray, Angel Fish and lots of Hermit Crabs! This was the best, with love, Greyson W. I thank you so much for the time we spent with you this week. Even with the Coronavirus going around. I still had a lot of fun snorkeling and hiking with you guys. And napping on the boat! Yours truly, Andy W. (the philosopher) Thank you for the amazing trip and all the memories with these 3 tandem boats of good friends. Cooper W.

14-19 Feb in the Virgins

We had an amazing time! The boat was super well kept, the crew was amazing, not only warm and professional but always worried to make sure we were going to the best places we could with the time we had and the fact that T had her green card right before our trip made things much better as we could sail in the BVI and go to amazing places. The food was great and they were always making sure that everyone was eating something they liked, even if that meant cooking different options. We had a great time with Charlie singing together with our daughters M and C always warm and helpful with the girls, especially when T was feeling nauseous as we had a storm and a few strong showers and winds!! Thank you so, so much for taking care of everything for us and for your advice and negotiations! We are already dreaming about our next charter!! 😉 The T Family

To our new and dear friends Charlie, Carolina and Valentin, THE OLDER ONE GETS THE MORE ONE REALIZE THAT TRAVEL IS MORE THAN TICKING DESTINATION OFF YOUR BUCKET LIST.

THANK YOU!! KEITH l. To be at sea is to reconnect with the soul. To be at sea with the ones you love is to give the soul wings and flight.

For Carolina and Captain Charlie and Val thank you so much and good luck with your future voyages!!!

New Year Charter on Vision

Dennis, Thank you very much for all that you did to create the perfect sailing getaway for my family over the New Year’s holiday. This is the second charter we have done with you, and my husband and I, and our two school-aged boys, could not imagine a more perfect vacation. You have a magic ability to know who would be the right charter for us, and your deep knowledge of the industry and the boats/crews available helped us enjoy the most wonderful, relaxing, fun, and perfect vacation we have ever experienced together as a family. Your professionalism and thoughtful follow up only added to the very positive experience. Our time on catamaran Vision with Capt. Charlie, Carolina and Valentin exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and well-outfitted boat, delicious food and drink, and incredible comradery set on the warm turquoise sea with jaw-dropping views, swimming and snorkeling, and stunningly private anchorages. We really wanted the feeling of being completely free and away from it all, yet with luxury amenities; you made that dream come true. I hope that we may have the opportunity to book with you again. Warmest regards, The Lockhart Family Massachusetts

Repeaters like family!

6-13 January, 2019 - Fabulous Food!!

Wonderful charter. Great crew. Fabulous food especially prepared for us gluten-free people. Highly recommend Vision.

Some more photos of our gluten free meals

Caro & Charly I have chartered 5 times in the BVI. Our honeymoon was on a BVI Charter. I would rate our trip with you the best ever. The reason I would give you a 5 start is because you were service oriented. You always were there to help us with all our needs and requests. We are a difficult family due to difficult food allergies. You were able with Carolina to supply our each and every dietary need. The variance and quality of your food was exceptional. The desserts were the best and so I would highly recommend your charter to my friends and family. Thanks you for your kindness and caring. Dr. David S.

Family Fun in British Virgin Islands

How did you enjoy your cruising vacation? It was a great time! Boat was great, Crew was outstanding and attentive, weather was excellent. How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Top Notch. Carolina and Captain Charlie were helpful and courteous. Definitely made long term friends! Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets? While I am sure that our strange palates caused some adjustment, the food was excellent and met/exceeded our expectations How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade? The Catamaran was perfect. there was plenty of shade when needed, the cockpit was large and very comfortable, and the Cat was always clean, not sure when they cleaned but miraculously it always was. Cabins were the perfect size – comfortable to serve the purpose and compact enough to encourage being up on top enjoying the crew and scenery What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation? Perfect, Captain Charly made suggestions and we were able to direct where we wanted to go and when. Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain: ABSOLUTELY! We have already recommended the Vision and Captain Charly to at least two different families

28 June - 5 July, 2018 My family will never forget the memories you helped create!!

Dear Charly & Carolina, Thank you for the fond memories. We all had a blast. Would love to come back with my kids someday. I look forward to getting my recipes! Thanks!

I appreciate you being so kind and always making us laugh. Thank you for putting so much effort into cooking and making us a slide show! I hope I will be back to see you soon. Ty Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime! I loved getting to visit the islands with my closet friends and family. The food was amazing!! I think I gained about 5 pounds on this trip.

28 April - 5th May, 2018 ~ A Lifetime Experience none of us will forget!

Charley and Carolina were AMAZING! They cleaned daily, made every accommodation we requested and were very pleasing to be around for a full week. Everything was fantastic. The cabins were clean, beds were comfy and plenty of common space to hang out with the others. We hit up a different island or beach setting everyday. It was a perfect mix of being on the water and stopping for beach bars. Our group wasn't the most active but we were made aware of everything that was available, which more than suited our needs. The food and drinks were FIVE STAR! I was continually amazed at how they were able to prepare such quality meals, from scratch and in such a small space. The service was GREAT! It was a lifetime experience that none of us will ever forget. The R Family The R Family guests comment to their broker: Thank you for setting up a great trip. The trip was amazing & Charlie & Carolina were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, please convey that we are all VERY happy and had a great time

BVI Yacht Show 8-11 November, 2017 ~ Broker Lunch ~ Superb Presentation!

My lunch on Vision was wonderful. Charly and Carolina are gracious hosts and eager to make guests feel welcome. Their passion for food is evident and the presentation was superb. Their experience in the charter industry and their willingness to make every charter special will give guests a great vacation. Regards, Nancy

BVI Yacht Show 8-11 November, 2017 ~ Broker Lunch ~ Amazing!

Thank you so much for your hospitality, the amazing lunch on Wednesday,and for taking the time to speak with me during the BVI Boat Show. Having the extra time to speak with you provided a wonderful opportunity to get to know you better. Lunch was amazing! You opened my palate to things I had never tried before, like the Argentinian sangria, the empanada, and the mussels. Everything was incredibly delicious. And the chocolate mousse at the end was simply to die for! I also want to thank you just for being there. I firmly believe that the best thing the yachting community can do to bring back the BVI is to charter! The vendors are ready, the crews are ready; the water is beautifully blue and teeming with marine life, and the land is becoming greener as every day passes. I know that you know where to take your guests to ensure a wonderful charter. Your faith and dedication to the BVI is fantastic. Fair seas, Jennie

The testimonials below are from Charly and Carolina's previous yacht charter:

August 2016 Charlie, Carolina & Valentin, Sailing with you was one of the highlights of our 8 magical days here in the BVI. We are grateful for the experience that you provided. We enjoyed the wonderful cuisine, the fantastic stories and sightseeing and your hospitality…With gratitude Dough & Laurie (Colorado) July 2016 Charlie, Carolina & Val, What a glorious 8 days we had with you guys and the beautiful yacht. Sailing, food and company was delightful. It was an amazing vacation thanks to your hospitality and fun personalities. Thanks for adding the “cherry on the top” for us all. Fair winds and following seas. Gary & Pam , Christy & Erik (Colorado) 5th-12th July 2016 Dear Captain Charly and Carolina: How do we begin to thank you for the most amazing Honeymoon? From the start we had an amazing experience. Your boat was absolutely beautiful!! We were so lucky to have such a relaxing place for our Honeymoon. Your cooking was so delicious, vegetarian for myself and non-vegetarian for my husband. We can’t wait to come back to see you! Love Jason & Erin (North Carolina) 24th June- 4th July 2016 To the family member we did not know we had! What an incredible and restful experience with you three on the yacht. We truly were treated like family. We loved our tour guide Valentin and playing cards and snorkeling with him. The meals were 6 Star Plus in every way, including the stunning Mahi-Mahi and the fire Grill lobster. We got to go over 7 knots with 3 sails up, got to feed tarpons in Billionaire’s Bay and eat an Argentine meat-fest after the seagulls almost stole our food. We cannot wait to return and repeat the experience! Steve & Martha (Atlanta) 21st-28th May 2016 Dear Captain Charlie, Carolina & Val: WOW!!! Another amazing adventure with you in “paradise”! What a great celebration of Torin and Julia’s graduation…so many great memories we will take home with us. From snorkeling Caves, Indians, Lee bay, Peter Island to dancing at Willie “T” and Foxy’s. Wonderful breakfast, lunches & dinners! FIVE STAR!! But most of all how you all are so fun to be with, making us feel at home and making it all seem so easy. Thank you again for the “Sail” of a lifetime.” Rob & Jen (Florida) May 2016 Dear Charley and Carolina, Thanks you for making our WEDDING day so special. You made us feel very welcome on board the yacht and gave us memories that we will enjoy for a lifetime. The food was exceptional and your care and attention have been wonderful. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy your hospitality again next year! David & Donna (United Kingdom) 7th-12th April 2016 Dear Charly and Carolina, Thank you so very much for giving us a wonderful 5 days with you both on the yacht. Even though we have visited the BVI’s many times before, this has been by far the most memorable. We have experienced so much more of the beauty of the BVI by been able to sail to so many wonderful places with you. On top of this your hospitality has been second to none. The wonderful food and drinks and your warm welcome are things we will never forget. You also got Lynne to dive from the boat and to snorkel which is a first for her and a mark of her trust in you both. We hope to see you again soon! Gareth (New Jersey) Dec.29th-Jan.5th 2016 Thank you for your wonderful attention to detail and thoughtfulness in hosting such a memorable trip for us. We will all have fond memories for a lifetime. Randall What a fantastic experience you all created for our family. You welcomed us onto your beautiful boat with open arms and the detail and care you used every minute of every day was terrific. Wendy (California) 20-27 Dec 2015 From Tucson Arizona came the B Family! Our first such adventure and we done it for a week with a family (Caroline, Charly and Valentin) we hadn’t met. What a gift we received, of sun, ocean, wind and sails. But above and beyond was the amazing hospitality, love and friendship we were given (not to mention the safety, food and countless comforts!). It has been an absolutely unforgettable experience for our family and I’m eternally grateful to the family for their generosity of heart in making it happen. A thousand thanks and much love! Robyn, Brad, Powell, Glen, Paige and Abbey. (Arizona) Guests said this about their charter in early April, 2015 Please pardon our delay as married life with new jobs has occupied us since our return! We appreciate you facilitating this trip of a lifetime, that incidentally began our life together. Our consensus feedback is as follows. Without hesitation we recommend Charly and Carolina with their yacht for a trip of a lifetime. My wife and I can tell you how the yacht consistently was the most elegant and well cared for vessel among the other boats anchored in the bays we spent our nights at, or we could speak to the uniqueness and splendid gourmet quality of our meals that never repeated themselves, or the meticulous mastery of scheduling the crew wielded to craft an unforgettable trip for us hitting all the must-do's in the Virgin Islands tailored to our interests. But what is the most important and sincere point we can communicate is our deep gratitude for Charly and Carolina who made us feel as family in their home they welcomed us into aboard This yacht as we begin our own family--we saw pictures and heard stories of all the patrons who returned time and time again for follow-up trips, even couples who spent their honeymoons with the crew only to now invite Charly and Carolina to their own children's weddings! You don't just find an unparalleled voyage with This yacht, you find life-long friends. Best, Dominique Comments by guests aboard the 54 ft ketch in November, 2014 Sorry it took so long but we have been on the road since we returned from the charter. We had an incredible time in the islands. Charly and Carolina were fantastic and the This yacht was awesome, several people complemented Debbie and I on the beauty of the boat. I was awed by Anagada and the Baths and will have to return someday for a longer stay. Our Crew welcomed us like family and never lost patience with our constant stream questions. The last word: The best food, drinks and friendly service anyone could imagine! Larry Mahan From a family aboard in June, 2013 Our vacation was an amazing experience! All five of us had a fabulous time!!! We would wholeheartedly recommend This yacht for anyone contemplating this type of vacation. Here's some feedback on a few items: yacht- The yacht was gorgeous and was stocked with everything we could have needed! Charly and Carolina are very particular about their yacht, and therefore it is is great shape with no problems! The sleeping arrangements were comfy (although our middle daughter Hannah did bang her head on to the upper berth several times before she learned not to!). crew- Charly and Carolina were gracious, accommodating, fun-loving, and dedicated hosts. They worked hard to make sure our vacation was what we wanted. They understood that our family liked to have adventures and stay active, so in addition to sailing, they made sure we went swimming, snorkeling, hiking or exploring every day. They took us to the most amazing beaches and bars and always had great recommendations for drinks and snacks. They were very personable and really took the time to get to know each one of us. They excelled at time management, and gave us just the right amount of time to do things and get places without feeling rushed (but we packed an incredible amount into our 7 days with them). They also made the trip a lot of fun - Charly with music, dancing, camp games while sailing, and an infectious attitude for fun; and Carolina as our tour guide on hikes and snorkel excursions. Both Charly and Carolina made the trip educational, answering all our questions about the islands, fish and animals, sailing, etc. food- the meals were fabulous!!! very delicious!! Charly is a fantastic chef. We always had more than enough to eat and drink. We enjoyed trying things we had never tried before (even the kids) - mussels marinara, Russian salad, melon with prosciutto, Argentinian barbecue, etc. Some American classics (burgers, hot dogs, brownies with ice cream) also hit the spot at just the right time. Island connections - an unexpected (but not surprising) benefit was the help that Charly provided for arranging for car rentals, ferries, taxis, and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of Charly's connections to utilize the pool, hot tub, slide and trampoline at Scrub Island Resort and hiking trails and beach at Biras Creek. We didn't know enough about the area to decide our own itinerary in advance, but Charly and Carolina quickly learned what we liked to see and do and their recommendations were always spot on. Each day seemed to be an adventure that topped the previous day. We were even treated to a fireworks show on Peter Island during our last night on the boat! Again, our week aboard the This yacht with Charly and Carolina was everything we hoped for and then some. It was a trip of a lifetime. Thank you for your role in hooking us up with them!

We loved snorkeling on the reef at Bitter End, seeing sharks and turtles. Thank you for introducing us o Virgin Gorda - we loved exploring it. We had a great time playing poker and perhaps our favorite night was Argentina BBQ with songs and laughter! Too bad Manchester United didn't win. Maybe next time. Thank you Thank you for everything! I think my Spanish got a little better no? Adios Gracias Hasta Luego. Jamie & Lori April 2005 Dear Charly and Carolina, Once again... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! This trip was better than the last- and it was amazing! How truly lucky Joe and I feel to count you a our friends. AND we're all so very talented at scuba diving - SCUBA PROS we are! I know we feel totally relaxed with you and enjoy your company and lovely home - what an adventure you are both living - thank you for sharing it with us. After our first trip with you I was thinking it would be so nice to sail with them again someday... today I am thinking - I can't wait until our next trip with Charly and Carolina! Take care both of you we will be in touch! Love Gretchen Dear Carolina & Charly, Thank you both for an amazing week. You really know how to make one feel at home and so welcome. We will always remember our first wedding anniversary and Caleb's first sail. Thank you for all your hard work and making us feel so special! Best wishes, The Margulis Charly and Carolina, The second time was even better than the first! Thanks for making it so special for us and especially for Shane. California this summer? All my best, Sandy Jeanne and Jason Thank you so much for the best, and presumably only, honeymoon cruise of our lives! The amenities, the food, your friendliness, the fantastic locations, the snorkeling trips and local tours, and the gift of seeing Charly dance like Michael Jackson with Jason were all muy muy muy bueno! We have had such a wonderful time sailing with you, and we wish you clear skies and perfect breezes o see you safely down to Venezuela and your fabulous life adventures beyond! Come see us in California on your big RV trip of the USA (or anytime!) Love, Jeanne and Jason Jessica and Jim To capture a moment in time is an extremely difficult task. Cameras and camcorders can do no justice. It takes special people to take those moments and make them real. You are those special people. I cannot think of any other people or way that could have made our honeymoon as special as it was. We will never forget this week or the two of you for the rest of our lives. We thank you from th bottom of our hearts for capturing this moment in time for us. We are glad to call you friends. Thank you for everything. Dear Charly and Carolina, We had such a wonderful time on this cruise with both of you through the BVI! We really enjoyed your company, your hospitality, your cooking, and especially your friendship. Brooke and Ben had the trip of a lifetime with you and we are sure they will never forget the treasure hunt, football on the beach, sandcastles and, how can we forget, the game Set! They felt so special by both of you and we appreciate your time with them! From one pirate family to another, we look forward to sharing the waters with you again! AARGH! The Hunsakers Brooke (Age 9) Dear Charly and Carallina, I really enjoyed the cruise you gave my family and I loved the treasure hunt it was so much fun! When I get home I am going to put together the fish puzzle. (I may need a little help because I'm not good, but it will help me get better.) The turtle made out of shells is going to go on my dressure where everyone can see it. Your guys cooking is the best! It tasted like a restruant. I loved your hospittallity. I liked playing with you on the beach. I liked the pirate flag cerimony with the swords, eye patches, and the telescope. It was so instering to watch the baracota eat with his big teeth. I will remember this for the rest of my life. From, Brooke (Age 9) Dear Charly and Carolina, We came wih few expectations, just a hope to relax and enjoy the sun and water... What a wonderful, magical time this has been. You are two unique spirits, and sharing yourselves, your love of life, your beautiful sailboat and home with us has been such a pleasure. The past two days have been fantastic- what a change from the crazy day before (travel!) We hope to keep you in our lives and be able to share time again with you. We would love to have you come and see Virginia and Chesapeake Bay (and oysters and crabs). Thanks again for everything- John and Page September 2011 The Freyembergers HONEYMOON Charly & Tom: We had a great vacation with you. The food was delicious and you always keep us entertained. It was great seeing the islands from our own floating fortress! I appreciate you dedication to my search to find the perfect lobster. Thanks for all the pics you took! You documented our trip much better then we could have! We all feel like family now! The Van Horns Captain Charly & Tom: Thank you so much for a wonderful HONEYMOON !

Carolina & Charly previous charter guests.FAMILY FUN PACKAGE! June'17

Island time, ths is my kind of time! I never knew what relaxing meant until Pete=Dad thought that he'd love to celebrate his birthday sailing in the BVI. It was a leap of faith...and here I am...rounder and relaxed. The food was amazing!(hence the "rounder"), the company exceptional. Thank you for showing me how to snorkel and for a truly unforgettable experience. KRISTIN (Mom) Awesome trip! A great way to celebrate my 50th's! A++ PETER (Dad) One of my favorite things about staying here was the night sky. Back home you only see the city lights. Here you can see all the night stars. I also loved to get "wet"! There were amazing water sports, paddle boarding, kayak, swimming and snorkeling a lot. And I can't forget about the food!!! Everything was very, very yummy! BEATRICE (10) One thing is for certain about BVI and boating: it is a polar opposite from the city. Bustling, loud, and anxious people fill NYC. But in paradise everything changes . That craziness is replaced with serenity and time to take a deep breath. You are in the right place to escape, so come, stay a while!! On another note, who knew I wasn't to bad about paddle boarding? That's a surprise! I'd like to end by saying what a pleasant time I had. There was time for reading, exploring, sailing, eating and much more!! THANK YOU!!!! OLIVIA (16)

Carolina & Charly previous charter guests. HONEYMOON! June'17

Carolina & Charly previous charter guests. May'17

Fantastic! Who says, "You can't come back?". This second charter was as much joy as the first some years ago. This time we had a new crew member, Valentin " the Dinghy Captain"who will, in a few years, be a Charter Captain. Again, we were amazed that Charly and Carolina can sail ALL day long, then anchor and then create the most sensational dinners at the Gourmet level! We were blessed with fabulous weather and superb anchorages and saw some new sights. Anegada was our prize discovery! I also loved the fact that you let the old salt "Doc", return to his sailing days! Thanks for a dream BVI vacation! RALPH & HAUNANI (FL) To the first glimpse of the beautiful "Crystal Clear", to the glorious weather of the week and serene beauty of the BVI, it has been truly a DREAM vacation. Carolina, Charly and Valentin your hospitality has been greatly appreciated and accentuated the pleasure of the week. We sincerely thank you for all your efforts and hope that one day we may do it again! JOE & CATHY (FL)

Anegada was a wonderful Island! We loved sailing there. Beautiful trip, full of surprises! The Champagne for Valentine's Day was a real treat! The food Captain Charly cooked for us was simple amazing. Charly's Argentinian Grill and Carolina's Apple Cake were our highlights! We couldn't have ask for better weather or Harbors to sleep in. The snorkeling, sun, swimming ad location were perfection! Thank you so much for your hospitality! CHEF JOE & EMILY (IL)

Carolina & Charly's AMAZING repeater guests! Carolina & Charly were invited onboard by guests to co-captain with Captain Valentin

We had a wonderful sail away with you all! It was so special to have an intimate group of friends and family together. This made the vacation much more fun and relaxed for us two. our favorite experiences were the snorkeling, the Gourmet Meals, the great stories, lot's of laughter, tales of our travels, Captain Ron, and all the wonderful care and attention. We will see you soon! JIM & ROSITA Z.(GA)

Extraordinary Anniversary! JOE & DIANE

8th November 2016 – A Perfect Wedding!!

15 minutes Silvana changes to a perfect maid of honor dress, with daisies. Captain/Father Franco in his yellow pants and Kelly-green shirt, and my wonderful husband and myself share vows to protect our love and marriage through the eyes of God and nature for the rest of our “time”. It was not only perfect in every way, it was fun & romantic & energizing! Thank you both so much for accommodating our every wish and holiday to our challenging demands of doing it all in 4 days!! We did!! Thanks to you both!! God Bless, Alisa & George

Comments here are Carolina & Charly,s previous Yacht Charter

Dear Charly and Carolina: Thank you so much to make our Honeymoon a trip of a lifetime! Your boat is beautiful and full of charming details that we both loved! The food was beyond compare! The color and flavors were a treat for all the senses. The places you took us to were magical. We enjoyed the snorkeling...so many fish! You both do such a lovely job of making us feel comfortable. The trip would not have been the same without you! We will be back. All so peaceful and romantic! DAN & DINA
