Aura Guest Reviews

Previous Guests with Jos & Julia, Summer 2022, Foxy Lady

Jos, Julia and Mich,

Where do we even begin? I think we all collectively agree that this was the most amazing vacation ever! Your kindness and hospitality far exceeded our expectations - we were absolutely blown away by everything!

Julia´s each and every meal was a work of art - not only beautifully presented but totally delicious. Jos´s knowledge and expertise - not to mention his patience - was amazing! And we are all fighting over who gets to take Mich home with them. She is the sweetest person and the best bartender.

Goodbye is hard to say - we never want to leave this little slice of heaven.... Until next time!


FIRST CLASS BOAT - WORLD CLASS CREW!! Beyond grateful for this experience and equally grateful for our new friendship.

Previous Guests with Jos & Julia, Summer 2022, Foxy Lady

Dear Jos, Julia and Mich.

In this crazy world of ours with virus variants and protocols changing daily - we truly did not think this BVI vacation was going to happen! It was a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

We arrived worn and weary and were taken care of immediately. Julia, Jos and Mich - you are experts at what you do! It´s not easy, but it looked effortless!

Cocktails, meals, tucked away anchorages, guided scuba and snorkelling, and most importantly, making us feel comfortable and relaxed on Foxy Lady. It was a special family vacation we will cherish forever with our kids.

Clean plates, full hearts and eager eyes! We can´t wait to meet up again!

Previous Guests with Jos & Julia, Summer 2022, Foxy Lady

We cannot thank you enough for this beautiful week on this gorgeous sailing ´home´. Foxy Lady has so far exceeded our expectation that it´s difficult to list all the magic we´ve experienced!

We cannot thank you enough for your suggestions and creating the perfect itinerary and captaining us into beautiful bays and cays and even more beautiful sunsets every single evening!

The fabulous, delicious, beautiful meals will be remembered and missed so much. Absolutely 5*! You are an amazing and gifted chef and we were so lucky to have you.

Mich - it´s been a joy to be a recipient of your beautiful and delicious cocktails and your delightful and joyful personality.

Our time on Foxy Lady has been a dream come true and the three of you have a left a big, warm print on our hearts.

Previous Guests with Jos & Julia, Summer 2022, Foxy Lady

Jos & Julia,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the most amazing week aboard Foxy Lady! We loved every minute and will never forget our time with you. You are so much fun, and helpful, and we will miss so many things - amazing food, non-stop watersports, laughter, trivia, getting our asses kicked at trivia by Julia, and everything in between. You are the BEST!
