Allure 64 - Crewed Catamaran Yacht Charter

Dear Scott, Nikki and Danielle,
We can’t thank you enough for all the thing you all did for us to make our trip in the BVI on Allure so incredibly wonderful! The Allure is an amazingly beautiful and spacious boat but it is the three of you, your fun kind and warm personalities and all you fantastic skills which made this trip so memorable, awesome and perfect for all of us.
Scott you are such a great captain. It was so fun for us how you came up with a great itinerary and and shared the daily plan each day at breakfast. Your captain skills made us all feel so safe and we loved sitting with you as you drove the boat and told us all about the area and many fun stories about your and Nikki’s adventures. I could go on about the countless other things you did to make our trip spectacular. You’re the best!
Nikki! Wow! Your cooking is phenomenal and your presentation of it was always a work of art! Thank you for also cooking dairy free for Abby and gluten fee for Lucy. That was incredible and sweet of you to go to all that effort doing that for them. They loved it and felt so good and healthy on this trip! That meant so much!
Danielle, thank you for taking special care of us in so many ways. You are a bartender extraordinaire, set a beautiful table and helped us keep SuperYacht Abby in check and almost on time (haha!) and had our cabins so cozy and beautiful. You did so so much more and we really appreciate you so much. We will truly miss you all. We adore each of you. The Adams family

Dear Scott, Nikki and Dan,
Thank you so much for an experience that will never be forgotten. You made a trip that already had high expectations better than any of us could have imagined.
Scott Thank you so much for guiding us around and showing us some beautiful islands and waters. Also I loved our conversations and hearing the plenty of jokes you had throughout the week.
Nik, I don’t know where to start on your cooking and baking. I can easily say that is by far the best food I’ve had for a week and honestly some of the best I have had in my life! I also enjoyed getting to know you and hear about your and Scotts’ adventures.
Dan it was amazing having you with us all week. You were so kind, humorous and respectful and all the above. Your drinks were topnotch, and I am going to have to learn some your napkin designs.
I can’t say thank you enough for how wonderful all three of you made the trip. From the boat to the drinks and the food to all the destinations, and of course your unbelievable hospitality, t6hank you for blowing our expectations out of the water! Parker.

Wow!!! What an incredible week aboard the beautiful Allure! Captain Scott, Niki and Danielle went above and beyond our expectations to make this trip a truly amazing experience. They were able to cater to our youngest family member (age 8) to our oldest (age 90) and everyone in between. We loved visiting all of the picturesque islands and playing in the water. All of the water toys were readily available to make each anchorage more fun. We are so grateful to have had this wonderful family experience. We hope to come back again very soon. Thanks to Scott, Niki and Danielle

We had an amazing trip. The Allure is an amazing boat but the staff Scott, Nikki and Dan were amazing from the second Scott picked us up until our drop off.

Wow Expectations exceeded
We came with ideas at what it could be like when spending a week on a “crewed” boat but the degree of personal care was way beyond.
The attention to detail..
we felt the love
we tasted the love
Thanks for all
Professionalism is appreciated but the personal care made it so much more.

I am writing this review on behalf of our family and friends. To say that our vacation was wonderful is an understatement. Scott and Niki were excellent hosts with impeccable attention to our every needs. Each day was planned around our wishes with the perfect combination of advecenture, relaxation, celebration and laughter. Scott kept us safe with a gentle smile but always for the lookout for our every need. The meals prepared by Niki were a truly culinary experience. Every meal was a special treat! Scott and Niki are true professionals with an obvious attention to detail. Their experience in the yachting industry translated into the trip of a lifetime! Thanks from the bottom of our hearts!!! Cheers Kirk, Genie, John, Susan

We sailed on the Allure around Antigua with Captain Scott and Chef Niki and Stewardess Laura. We were a party of 6, 3 couples, and had no expectations. I mean what could you possibly expect having never sailed nor spent 5 days on a boat? We knew it would be fun, luxurious and an experience of a lifetime, but the trip far exceeded everyone´s expectations. It was the most incredible journey. From the second we boarded the boat, we felt at home, comfortable and were treated like kings and queens. The accommodations were outstanding, as the boat is modern, clean, well laid out, roomy and very comfortable. The was food delicious, every meal was well thought out and a culinary journey. Niki is a master in the kitchen, not sure how she does it with just a kitchen on a boat, but you would think she was working with a full restaurant set up. The service was impeccable. All 3 of them made it their priority to wait on us at all times, but never too pushy or uncomfortable and always striking the right balance in giving us the personal time we wanted and of course getting to all know one another. At the end of every night Scott would spend the time with us to figure out what we wanted to do the next day, always offering suggestions with great ideas on how to make the most out of our time together and the wonderful island of Antigua. When we departed we were a bit sad to leave our new friends, but we know the memories of this trip will last a lifetime!

Thanks Scott, Niki and Laura for a wonderful experience! We loved every minute and will certainly be back to do it again! Until then, ´To Absent Friends & Those At Sea´

We are so appreciative for our beautiful and perfect vacation. Everything was above and beyond and we are so thankful. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
During our stay onboard we booked again and are bringing our three boys. We all are already looking forward to that trip! Niki´s care and attention to details from food to anything else we may need was exceptional. Watching two captain compare notes all week were very special. Captain Scott and Captain Mike are looking forward to sailing again,
Best wishes Kathie and Mike

Our family had the absolute pleasure of being aboard Allure for spring break. We couldn´t have asked for a better crew than Captain Scott, Chef Niki and Ellie, which ended up feeling more like family. Captain Scott traveled the waters of Antigua with such expertise and skill and we learned a bit of sailing. Chef Niki created beautiful dishes that our whole family thoroughly enjoyed (even our pickiest eater). Ellie made sure that all of us were taken care of at all times – we all felt truly at ease and pampered during our week. We cannot wait to come back on Allure! We all have the fondest memories of our time together.

The experience aboard Allure was impeccable in every way. From the moment we stepped on Allure it was like being welcomed home. The Crew, the food and the luxurious detail has far exceeded our expectations. The ocean is its own language but we were gifted transition through the crew with their knowledge and experience. We felt as wild and free as the wind that carried our laughter! We are made greater for having experienced this adventure, where we were gifted time to quiet the noise , linger longer and soak in the salty air. There are glimpses of heaven on earth and this experience on Allure was one of them.
The adventures we take we do not just remember, they form a part of our story and this one will be long remembered after the bags are unpacked and our sun-kissed skins fade.
Until next time with gratitude The Albrights and the Smrts

From the moment we stepped on Allure we were in AWE! It’s hard to describe something indescribable or even capture photos to show the magic of this adventure. So instead we spent every moment being present, soaking in the turquoise water, the warm breeze that carried Allure’s sails and our laughter. We sat and celebrated the golden sunset over the water everyday, toasting to friendship, adventures and blessings. Every meal made was a work of art from the chef, followed by dessert and games, dancing or star gazing. There are places in Antigua that are a piece of Heaven on earth & being on Allure was one of them. An unforgettable experience.
We will forever be grateful and arrive home having made some of the most incredible memories we’ve ever made together! What a gift!!!

There are no words to describe our experience.
The crew are remarkable! Captain Pierre was constantly attentive to any of our requests. From sailing between islands to mooring in beautiful bays for snorkeling and paddle boarding. Pierre’s expertise in mixology was much appreciated by all of us!
Chef Desree was remarkable. Never have we had this level of cuisine. Every meal was truly a piece of art and we are going home with some extra weight under our belts!
Ellie was the steward that brought the whole experience of the trip just that much more enjoyable. The whole crew feel like family and we can´t wait to see them again.
Last but not least, THE ALLURE!!!
A stunning piece of art. She sails so smooth and is very classy. The owners thought of everything when designing this beautiful yacht. Sure you can go to shore but we loved being on the boat.
Can´t wait to return

It was an amazing experience that exceeded our expectations. The crew made the trip exceptional – Pierre kept us safe and ever sensitive to making sure we were optimizing where and when to go, balanced against the weather. Desree went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of and is a world-class chef, that prepared us delicious dishes the entire trip. Ellie was always very helpful, polite, and attentive to our every need.
The entire crew worked together seamlessly, and we enjoyed their service as well as their company. They were able to predict what we would want/need and were lovely to chat with. The boat was brand new and we were the first people to charter the boat. Amazing boat and the crew made a very memorable vacation for us.

We have known Scott and Niki Smith for about 7 years now, They where the crème de la crème at the Moorings, it has taken Us 4 years to finally get them to come over to the private side.
Scott is cool calm and collected the perfect English gentleman a total professional.
Niki is a sweet heart and a wizard in the galley her meals are pure perfection and the presentation is 5 star and above.
If I wanted to out on charter I would not hesitate to go on Scott and Niki’s boat.
All the best

We were so fortunate to have Scott & Niki as our captain and chef. They make an amazing team and truly provided us with the vacation of a lifetime. When we go back to the BVI, we will not charter a boat with another crew other than Scott and Niki. They became like family during this past week and helped us make such fond memories, ones we will never forget. We were all blown away by their commitment to service. I’m sure you will receive similar emails from the other two couples as well. Should you have any prospective guests that may be on the fence regarding a charter, please feel free to give them my contact information. Also, please feel free to share any parts of this email as a recommendation for their services. I truly can’t imagine another crew anywhere topping the vacation we just experienced.

We just recently chartered with Captain Scott and Chef/First Mate Niki. I would like to report that the trip exceeded my wife’s and my expectations on all fronts.
I can honestly say that Scott and Niki were the “secret ingredient” to our dream vacation’s recipe.
