Halcyon Guest Reviews

Truly Unforgettable Experience!

Being my third time chartering a cat through the BVI, AJ made this trip a truly unforgettable experience. Their unwavering commitment to make sure my entire party was comfortable, entertained, safe, and happy the entire trip was truly notable. The cabins were comfortable and the air conditioning was a great touch in the evenings!
AJ was incredibly patient and friendly with the entire family, showed us all of the best snorkel spots, had great restaurant suggestions, and was always excited to bring out the water toys for us.
Chartering a boat through the BVI with this operation is a great vacation.

With that said, AJ made it the trip of a lifetime!! Would highly recommend it to all!!!

A Memorable Time!

BIG THANKS to Capt. AJ Stephens. Our family had such an incredible and memorable time. AJ made the trip easy, relaxing, exciting, interesting, filling, fun and so much more. It all began before even arriving in the USVIs via a WhatsApp video call, talk through preferences and nail down logistics. My wife and I traveled with our 6 kids (all in their 20s), and the entire week was perfect. AJ wanted everything to be perfect and kept asking how to improve things but I had nothing to say: it was already perfect. AJ was an amazing captain, with smooth sailing in windy weather but also became a great friend, joining us in activities and taking us to great snorkeling spots. Not to mention, AJ’s daily afternoon cocktails.
Again, BIG THANKS to AJ and please come join us in the States.

Incredibly Memorable

This trip was incredibly memorable thanks to AJ. We were in expert hands as AJ guided us thru the BVI’s and made sure we experienced an amazing itinerary custom planned based on our preferences. Everything from the actual time underway, whether sailing or motor, and then activities at each destination, was perfect and well executed. We were a group of 8, including 6 young adults, so there were all different wants and needs and AJ made sure everyone was happy. Truly, a wonderful experience. The yacht was well appointed and accommodated our large crew. It was super clean, the showers were great and we all slept comfortably in cozy beds with AC. There were tons of water toys including rafts, paddle boards, wake boards and of course, snorkel equipment. I’m sure I’m forgetting something but there was so much we did in just 7 days. Best of all, AJ helped us create everlasting extraordinary memories for our family

Wonderful Experience!

Wonderful experience! AJ was brilliant in his captaining, planning, and guidance throughout our time. We saw so many incredible nooks and crannies of the islands we would never have otherwise, and he recommended some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever seen. Loved his evening cocktails as well!

AJ is a wonderful person, wouldn’t have wanted to spend our time with anyone else.

Lots of Laughs and Most Relaxing Trip Of Our Lives

Just returned from the BVI. We were on board with Capt. AJ. The boat had everything we needed and more. AJ took us to the most beautiful places on earth. Incredible snorkeling and views. Everything was planed and we did not have to think of anything that he had already not thought of. He prepared a signature cocktail every night at 5:00. They were truly better than any of the drinks at the local bars. We even got to name one of his drinks! He can tell you that story.
.
AJ kept us safe and was always making sure we were getting the most out of our trip. We all had a lot of laughs and had the most relaxing trip of our lives. I would definitely do it again.

Set The Bar High

We just returned from an amazing trip in the BVI. I have done this trip before, so I thought I knew what to expect. But Captain AJ far exceeded our expectations, and my previous experience.

AJ was very accommodating, no matter how many times we changed our minds about what we wanted to do for the day. He found us amazing snorkeling and dive sites, restaurants and bars, and his quick wit and sense of humor kept us entertained.

AJ set the bar high, and I hope we can find him again to share our next sailing adventure.
