November 2010 "Words cannot express how wonderful our vacation was with you. 

Mark the way you entertained the kids so Barry and I could rest or snorkel together was something we never expected.  Sally your talent as a chef is indescribable.  I am constantly being compared to Mrs Sally, something I will never be able to achieve, but you have inspired me and given me a goal. Also, the way the two of you work as a team was not only fun to watch, but also a great lesson for our children to see. The level of service you both give to your guest is far better than any 5 star resort.  Oh how I would love to hear that adorable accent...."Marrrrk, port tack" ......right now.

We had decided 2 years ago that the BVI was our favorite place in the world.  Now knowing it is home to 2 very special people makes the BVI even more close to our hearts.  Not only do we want to come back as guests again, but we hope one day......we could be your neighbors.  Until next time, thank you a million times over for the cherished memories of our week in paradise.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may God continue to bless you,"

August 2010 “Pitch Perfect, ONCE AGAIN!!”
The food was outstanding (as were the Captains Cocktails!), and you two ALWAYS make it so easy to RELAX!

Your attention to detail is incredible. I love the upgrades – especially the trampoline pillows. It’s apparent that you’re always looking for ways to enhance your guests experience, and we certainly appreciate it.

Looking forward to next year!

P.S. Thank you for orchestrating the Dolphins!! :)

May 2010 We would like you to know, that because of your good cheer, the B V I in our book, no longer stands for British Virgin Islands, but rather:
BEST VACATION EVER !!!!

“Oh my Gosh”, as my Dad would say – the food was delicious, the sailing was ‘unbelievable’!!

And most importantly, the Company was OUTSTANDING!! THANK YOU

 New Year January 2010 "How in the world does anyone with three of age sons take a family vacation where every one is “happy”. THIS WAS IT! You had something for everyone at all times. The food that came out of Sally’s galley was inspiring, to say the least. (I think you should develop a cookbook for sailing charters!)

Your collective knowledge of the wildlife, on land and at sea, and the flora was extensive and appreciated.

Thank you Mark, for your patience with Windsurfing, I secretly hope that Jon and Jared will carry on and build on their experience with you.

Your home on water is beautiful, and as people before us have stated, your are one amazing team, and just observing your love for your boat, work and respect for each other was beautiful. Thank you for the best week of vacation we have EVER HAD! I can’t wait to tell all of our friends. Looking forward to tonight’s moonlight snorkelling safari!"

Love from all of us, Jami, Jimmy, Jacob, Jon and Jared

July 2009 "You have blown our expectations out of the Caribbean! You went above and beyond in making our vacation special in every way. The meals, the cocktails, the appetizers were all incredible. Thank you also for the snorkel tours, and even the night snorkel. I was fearful , but still so thankful to have that opportunity to see what we saw.

You made our whole week a “first class” vacation. You showed us places we have never seen and you helped us relax in a way that some of us have not been able to in years and years! I saw my husband get the “giggles” for the first time in years too. Thank you for that! Your knowledge skills and spirit are something that we’ll keep with us until the next time we get to sail with you, and we will be back! Happy and Safe sailing."

April/May 2009 "Thank you for sharing your home with us and giving us the opportunity to “Live the Dream!!” Sally, the cooking, where do we start?! We tried to pinpoint our “favourite” dish, but couldn’t because they were all incredible!! Mark, your snorkelling spots and guided expeditions, led us to experience the underwater world like we had never seen it before – Vibrant corals, LARGE barracudas, turtles, stingrays, angel fishes, parrotfish……..our first sightings of trumpet fish, squid, Christmas tree worms, bristle worms, sea cucumbers and octopus (night snorkel!!)

Thanks for your hospitality, second to none!! The sailing, the food, the cocktails, the laughs…..we couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy the BVI’s.

Your love and passion for the sea, sailing and each other, is truly an inspiration. You are superb hosts, and have made this vacation special, and one we’ll remember forever. See you in the Grenadines."

April 18-25th 2009 "We set sail on a six day voyage With a crew we barely knew But it didn’t take long to fall in love With the islands, Mark, and Sally too. Each day was filled with much to do From the Willy ‘T’ to Michael Bean And lots of snorkelling in between. Captain Cocktail disappointed not And Sally’s meals always hit the spot. All expectations were exceeded daily From the Crab Cakes & Rock shrimp To Kim’s nightly Baileys. Professional windsurfers we are not But Marks patience allowed us to give it our best shot.

Nights on the yacht or the Soggy Dollar bar Made us consistently say ”Arrrrrr”. The day has come to say goodbye We have a tear in our eye But don’t you fret, we’ll be back For another ‘Viking Dream’ attack!"

April 2009 "Kent and I would like to thank you for the lovely vacation. It was a truly amazing week, from the snorkelling, land exploring, the island hopping and the wonderful food. We have already started making plans to return. I have not seen Kent that relaxed in about 10 years! Thanks again for the super lovely experience."

Kent & Cindy Griffith

"I just want you to know that this was the best vacation ever! I know my mom liked being here for her birthday! I will have a lot to share when I go back to school. I loved spending Easter with you guys it was really fun! And you guys definitely know how to have fun! I think Sally is the best cook ever! She could qualify for “Iron Chef America!” And Mark, thank you for teaching me how to kneeboard and do a 360! I enjoyed it very much."
God bless. Hanna Nordale. PS. Thanks for showing me how to drive the dinghy!
