Genesis II Guest Reviews
A wonderful time onboard GENESIS II
We stayed on Ken & Jane’s lovely catamaran and they took us on an amazing tour of the Grenadines.
After the safety briefing and discussing our route we felt right at home straight away; Ken was extremely professional as captain and very patient with my husband who was eager to assist!
Ken and Jane were an excellent team, we thoroughly enjoyed Jane’s hospitality and never ceased to be amazed by what she could rustle up in her kitchen! The surprise mimosa on my birthday morning was lovely.
Their knowledge of the area was excellent, we found fabulous snorkelling sites and lovely restaurants too.
We had such fun and really enjoyed our time on Genesis.

Amazing Holiday
We wanted to thank you for your amazing hospitality while on your vessel the Genesis II.
The week was full of adventure, sailing on the vast ocean and the anchoring at different islands. we sure learned a lot about the picture perfect Grenadines.. snorkelling is a must!!
The food and drinks served on board were delightful, including the snacks! Jane you truly used your magic in the kitchen.. with 8 of us on board..
For those people thinking about this adventure, Book it, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you again,
Joanne
Sailing with Ken and Jane
Ken’s skill as a captain is top notch. We always felt safe, and enjoyed
the fact that we sailed everyday, both sails out, clipping along at very
high knots! It was so exciting and exhilarating! It was also fun to learn
a bit about sailing, and be able to assist with some of the jobs!
The vessel itself was very clean, and as expected. There were no
surprises. The cabins were clean and comfortable, really nice quality’s
sheets and towels, and we slept very well. Loved the electric flush
toilets!
Thank you again. Lisa & Benoit
A great holiday!
Ken is a very able Captain and knows the waters extremely well.
We never felt at any risk at sea. The route was timed perfectly to
allow for ample sailing time in the beautiful Caribbean waters,
plus plenty of down time at moorings in various ports; some quiet
and remote, and others that offered a little more action. On board,
Jane was our gracious hostess, and chief cook and bottle washer.
Breakfasts, lunches, cocktail hours, and dinners, were handled
casually and expertly.
Our group had some reservations at first about being in such tight
quarters on a boat for a week, but Ken and Jane were easy to
hang with, and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We
enjoyed our social time with them, and felt confident in their
knowledge of the area, and their expertise on the water.
Best regards,
Doug
Holiday in the Grenadines
Ken proved to be very capable sailor and leader on the boat. He was very
comfortable and familiar with the boat, and handled it well. He was very
familiar with the area, clearly very experienced, and was known at many of the
moorings. He had a good eye for weather and sea conditions, and he took
safety very seriously, being sure, for example, to give us all a good orientation
on sea safety and safe operation of the boat, and then being sure to remind us of
procedures each time we did something. His most memorable trait was his
calm demeanour and quiet and friendly authority. I’d be happy to sail with him
again anywhere.
Jane was a well-organized and energetic hostess and mate. The boat was well
provisioned with everything we needed, and meals were always a high point of
each day. Marvellous meals, with stories and laughter! She was a good cook,
and was comfortable preparing dishes from a wide range of tastes and areas.
Local foods, such as locally caught fish, were a highlight. She was very
familiar with the area, and had excellent suggestions about where to go, and of
what to do at each spot we visited.
I look forward to sailing with Ken and Jane again!

Our most Memorable Vacation
Dear Ken & Jane,
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for what ranks as one of our most
memorable vacations. It was our second trip sailing with you on a 50’ catamaran and
this 2020 March trip was even better than our first sail with you!
You both made us feel right at home on board the Genesis II – the cabins and common
areas were well appointed and spotless – the décor and amenities on board were
perfect – we loved the paddleboards, snorkeling gear and the comfy beanbag chairs
sure came in handy for lounging and stargazing.
Captain Ken is undoubtedly an accomplished sailor and we felt completely at ease
with him at the helm – he loves sailing and is always on top of safety and comfort for
his passengers & crew. And it was fun to learn the ropes about sailing with him -
Captain Ken has sparked my own interest in taking up sailing too!
You guys planned a super itinerary and took us to some really cool places for day
trips, hiking, shopping & dining – it was the best mix of on board and on shore time.
Ken always found the best moorings and the best beaches for us.
The provisioning was well planned out and there was a good variety of healthy, fresh
choices for all meals. We loved the big breakfasts, shore lunches and happy hour with
delicious appetizers. The dinners you prepared on board met our every expectation.
Although this was only our second voyage with you, it seems to just keep getting
better. Vicki and I can’t wait for our next trip with you as soon as we are done with
this darn pandemic!
Take care and thank you for making our holiday stand out as one of our best vacations
EVER! We look forward to sailing with you again, as soon as possible!
Sincerely,
Jeff & Vicki
