Karma - Crewed Catamaran Charter

Dear Captain Ivan and Chef Marisia,
We had a spectacular, once in a lifetime (but we´ll be back) trip!!! It was the perfect combination of relaxation, activities, and first-class hospitality!
You made Olivia´s 18th birthday an awesome memory - from diving to great meals and festive decorations, we could not have asked for more.

The diver was incredible. The swimming and snorkeling as beautiful as we dreamed and every shore experience was perfect!
The food could not have been better! Chef Marisia is incredibly talented and prepared all of our favorite foods every day, ending with sushi experience our favorite ! But most of all, it was both of you that made this the best vacation ever! Your energy. Laughter and kind spirits made us feel not just like your friends but like family!

We hope to see you both of you again very soon.
The Cole Family

We could not have hoped for a better and more attentive crew for our first attempt on a boat charter. You made our week with our kids such a special memory. Thank you for all your work coordinating with our friends on two other boats with two other sets of crew as we realize that could not have been an easy ask. You are both such positive lights and bring joyful energy to the room. Thank you for anticipation of our every need. This is one of the most special trips we have ever experienced. The two of you are such wonderful people and made us feel special the entire trip. The two of you make a perfect team, and anyone would be lucky to have you as their crew. From the food to the stops the safety and helping all of us , you have created something truly special.
-The Curley Family

You both are absolutely amazing humans beings! Your energy and kindness simply radiated from the moment we met you. It only got better from there. The attention to detail + luxurious touches truly made this a once in a life time experience! It was such a treat to be taken care of. The activities & suggested itineraries were perfect. Marisia, you are such a bright ray of sunshine. Your food is 100. Ivan, thank you for your patience and attention, and wonderful diving experience.
-The O´Neil Family

Amazing!!
We had an absolutely amazing trip with beautiful water adventures catching delicious fish.enjoyed the inside knowledge of Ivan and Marisia the thoughtful planned trip. Teaching our kids to snorkel, fish scuba Diving. Exploring the sea creatures educating us all about BVI wild life all of these fantastic memories were effortlessly provided while creating delicious meals (Marisia queen of the sea and kitchen)and guiding the vessel like pro captain Ivan is. The list can go on and on.
-The Keese Family

Wow, what a great experience. Ivan and Marisia went above and beyond our family expectations. They were knowledgeable about the area and extremely experienced in the realm of sailing. Marisia even helped entertain our 5 year old daughter and truly went above and beyond, teaching her to snorkel and to be comfortable in the ocean. Was HUGE! She also did such a fantastic job with the menu that the meals that´s heaven prepared, were delicious, varied, and presented beautifully. They were flexible with our itinerary and did such a great job guiding us through the amazingly locations. It´s clear they take pride in their work, work well as a team, and take care of their vessel, so it´s in tip-top shape at all times.
We can´t wait to book again.

-The Chomplin Family

July 2024
This was our best catamaran trip yet. The crew were a fantastic crew who understood all we were looking for & had great knowledge to share & such enthusiasm for life! Our group of 6 all loved our time on Ether!

May 2024
This trip was absolutely perfect and it was all thanks to Ivan and Marisia! We were absolutely spoiled and no other sailing trip will ever compare. We all got to experience new things and some of us conquered our fears of the ocean thanks to the calm and expert guidance of our crew. When we get home we will all forever be longing to hear the conch shell for the chef´s spectacular meals. Please come visit us. Thank you for a week of unforgettable memories.

May 2024
This week has been incredible starting with the warm welcome and big hugs. It was easy to see your genuine personalities and bubbling energy. We knew you were the perfect fit for us! Chef-your attention to meals was over the top and much appreciated. I don´t think we ate one thing that we didn´t like. We also appreciated the variety of snacks set out for any time. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious never lose that ! You both made us feel at home and inspire us to return sooner than later. We will definitely miss you especially Monday morning when we are making our own breakfast! You are truly something special and we feel blessed to know you. We wish you all the luck. Thank you for the most unforgettable week and for letting us be part of your world. Stay in touch .

February 2024
We just competed an 8 day charter with Ether and her crew and had a wonderful time. They are both kind and energetic people who are outstanding professionals. I would not hesitate in the future to book them for a repeat charter and hope to do so. I can highly recommend them for your next BVI trip.

December 2023
The crew of Ether were just incredible. As I shared with them there is customer service and there is customer experience. Customer service is how you treat someone, customer experience is how that person feels treated. I believe I can speak for each and every one of us that were on the trip that they treated us like Royalty! The food was better than a 5 star hotel and their patience, kindness, and humbleness is unheard of in today’s world. If there is anything that we can do to pass on our gratitude to whomever they work for or our appreciation please let us know. Again I lack the words to convey how amazing they were. THEY made the TRIP!!

´Best vacation ever! I don´t think we could have packed any more fun and adventure into this week. Thank you for the hospitality, awesome food and entertainment. Hopefully we will see you all again soon!´

´Thank you for an amazing trip!! From the land and sea adventures to the tubing, to the excellent food, our kids really enjoyed the entire trip. Thanks again!´
-Dodson Family

I know I speak for all of us when I say WOW! We all expected the BVI to be gorgeous, and it sure was, but what we didn’t expect was just how great the actual charter experience would be. Karma was a beauty! She was perfect for the 4 of us; giving everyone plenty of room to spread out and relax, or allowing us all to join together for dinner/drinks/music/story time. The provided towels, sunscreen, cups/koozies, shampoo and conditioner really put the cherry on the top. Extra kudos to the AMAZING AC in the cabins. Very unexpected and greatly appreciated. Carol and I also really enjoyed our time up front during the sailings and also was our favorite way to end our nights with some music from their provided speaker. 10 out of 10 for Karma!!

Now onto our top notch crew….Jake and Mackenzie could NOT have been any better. From our communication beforehand, all the way to our “forced” departure from Karma was nothing short of perfection.
Jake wears 100 hats on that yacht: some being captain, plumber, electrician, dingy transporter, keeping everyone informed of the daily plans, leading you in scuba dives, arranging on shore transportation, and our favorite hat was his patience and sweet smile/smirk while listening to our LOUD antics. Jake is so knowledgeable about all things BVI and yachting, we all felt completely safe and in good hands.
And now let’s talk about Mackenzie…THIS FOOD!!!! We woke up every morning to the unreal smells of her breakfast filling our cabins. Mid day “snacks” were gourmet and mouth watering even for our picky boys. And her dinners…..HOLY SMOKES!! I have no clue how she was able to do it every single night, but she did!! Top tier meals and desserts that left all of us ready to pop. We told her in advance our boys like plain food and she took “plain food” and elevated it into a three MICHELIN star meal that had our boys cleaning their plates. She is so thoughtful in everything she makes and it shows in taste and gorgeous presentation.

On top of shared yacht time, we were able to spend some time with them off yacht, per OUR request, and really feel like we left with two more family members. From Shark Shots, family meetings, lobster dinner ashore, random story times, the 7/14 game at Hendo’s, girl time in the water at Soggy’s, my surprise 50th bday decorations and cake, to the real sign of adoration…nicknames!!! Jake Ma Boy and Mack Daddy will come highly recommended from our group to anyone and everyone that asks, and they have an open invitation to stay with us in San Antonio!


Another Happy Karma Guest,
Sarah

All we can say is WOW! You´ve shown us the most beautiful places and fed us as if we were kings and queens. Thank you a million times for your warm spirits and hospitality. You became family to us this week and we will never forget you both or this epic 40th Birthday trip.

We wanted to express a heartfelt ´Thank you´ for an extraordinary week aboard Karma. Great dives, amazing snorkeling, phenomenal food, and superb cocktails! All we can say is that you all made this a truly unforgettable 40th! Thank you guys so much!

From the hugs at greeting us on Day 1, to our daily ´Captain Lectures´, the Hoyle 7 had a memorable and fun week courtesy of you. So many highs - from tubing, wakeskating, hiking, the Baths (scaring you both and Patsy by ´disappearing´ ;) ) to paddleboarding, chilling at Soggy Dollar and snorkeling! I´m sure I´m forgetting a few! The experience was 5 stars and you both were so warm and welcoming. Last bu not least - the food was absolutely AHMAYZING! If you´re ever in San Diego, please look us up! Lots of love, the Hoyle 7

Thanks for an amazing week in an amazing place on an amazing boat with an amazing crew! We made memories that will last our lives and we´re excited to get back to the BVIs as soon as we can for more fun! And if you´re ever in the Boulder area, say hi! We´d love to show you our town!

Mackenzie and Jake, Wow! What an amazing trip and experience you both have given us! Your attention to detail, AMAZING meals, and incredible itineraries every day made this trip one that we will never forget, and we hope to come back very soon! Everything from scuba diving, playing sequence and Rummikub, and all of the amazing islands you showed us was nothing short of amazing! We hope to stay in touch and see you soon!
-The Cummings Family

Wow! Another unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Thank you both for making it so special. Y´all were (again) the best part of this amazing trip. Thank you for everything! We love you and it´s not goodbye, it´s see you later!´

Thank you again for putting together this great week and please let us know if you ever have any questions for us or about Karma.

We LOVED this week of great food and excellent service! You provided us with all the special touches to make us feel like we were in paradise. You provided us with an amazing holiday, and you both were so helpful, great, and made our trip so enjoyable. Thanks again!
-The Birch Family

Thank you so much for such an amazing week. You guys are so awesome. Every day was so special because of you. The Anegada 500 was so epic and a day we will never forget. From the bottom of our hearts to the tops of our budgy smugglers, you made our engagement so special and perfect. We felt like you guys were part of our crazy family & loved that you came to our engagement dinner and celebrated with us. It meant the world! You guys didn´t just help make our memories, but you guys made our memories, and we are forever grateful! If you are ever in Portland, hit us up! Cheers and hope our paths cross again.

When you live with people for more than three days...Jake and Mackenzie, you are an amazing team, and you were instrumental in ensuring a mixed family vacation, birthday, and engagement surprise! Thank you for making the week super special.

-The Koonings

´Thank y´all for making this trip so amazing! From the food to the card games, I´ve loved it all. Y´all have made this trip so unforgettable. Y´alls high energy and happiness has radiated onto all of us. I am so lucky to have experienced all these things with y´all. From the dolphins to the turtles it was so perfect. Y´all will always have a place in my heart and I hope the future treats you well!´

´What a wonderful vacation, spectacular in every way! The scenery, the weather, the food, the company, the boat, all were perfect. Thank you for making the week one we will remember forever. The time together as a family is precious and the two of you made it even better. Thank you for creating such a wonderful family experience for us. You made us feel like part of your family and I will not forget this special time with you both. We will treasure our time on board Karma for a lifetime!:

´This vacation was simply amazing!!! All of the places we visited were beautiful and I loved the itinerary y´all put together for us. Thank y´all for helping me fulfill my dreams of seeing a turtle AND the dream I didn´t know I had of seeing dolphins. Jake and Mackenzie, I have also loved getting to hear yall´s stories and creating memories with y´all. Y´all both made this vacation one to remember, especially because it´s my last one before college. I wish y´all the best!´

What an incredible adventure with Karma and the amazing crew! Mackenzie and Jake were fantastic in every way. The food, story telling, and exploration of all the islands were incredible! Thank you both for filling our bucket - trip of a lifetime! You two will be talked about for years to come!
-Delano Family

´Wow! What an incredible trip. You two are amazing hosts!´

´You guys have opened my view of the world and made me braver! Thank you for bringing more adventure into our lives. Until next time!´

All we can say is wow! What an amazing week filled with so many amazing adventures! You both were amazing. Thank you so much for the hospitality! Trip of a lifetime!
-the Dean Family

Our gratitude is inexpressible. You´ve gifted us with your company, hospitality, and kindness at a time in our lives when it was so direly needed! Your reception and warmth was second to none. The itinerary you built around our interests was spot on every day without fail; and your meals were works of art - feasts for all the senses. If you ever find yourselves in NC, be it exploring the area or just passing through, please know there is a place for you to stay any time!
-The Schonwalders

Thank you for a memorable week! All the great planning and excursion spots were top notch. Mackenzie we missed you for the last part of the trip but Jake did an amazing job and Casey was fun to get to know. We are glad we got to be with you guys for the end of 2023 and start 2024 off on the right note!
We will definitely recommend Karma to our friends!

From the moment we stepped aboard - no actually even before that - you were both gracious, hospitable, and attentive beyond measure. Mackenzie - your warm and loving demeanor are welcoming like a dear friend, and Jake, your chill vibe exudes confidence and capability to ensure your passenger´s safety. You each bring an easy, good-time-to-be-had-by-all tone that is delivered day after day. From beginning to end, we could not have been more fortunate to have you as our hosts for this long-desired experience. You each embody the name of the boat you crew, and you created not just a great week, but a lasting reminder of how to live. I am deeply grateful and appreciative of all you did for us this week.

Thank you for an awesome week of beautiful coves, great underwater adventures, and amazing food and beverages! Couldn´t have asked for better hosts! You guys ROCK! I appreciate your time and efforts to make everything so perfect - even the last minute surprise wedding. Magnificent!

Pretty sure there was never a crew so perfectly suited to a boat´s name - it was a karmic pairing to be sure! Thank you for the early AM SUP sessions, watching waves at Little Jost Van Dyke, and creating a perfect wedding day for our friends! You two created a perfect experience. Thank you Mackenzie and Jake!

Words can´t express how much I´ve enjoyed our time on the boat. Memories for a lifetime - thank you for taking such good care of us. You two were the best! part of the trip. Thank you for all you do and did to make our BVI adventure absolutely amazing!

Jake and Mack -
Thank you for an unforgettable week filled with incredible food, gorgeous sights, and even more laughter. Your abundant hospitality was so appreciated as we celebrated a milestone. Life long memories were made and we can´t thank you enough for your energy.
Much love,
the Kenkel Family

Thank you so much for such an incredible week on Karma. We had so much fun! It´s hard to pick one (or even a few) favorite when we enjoyed so much. The diving was amazing, as were the on land excursions at The Baths, Anegada, and Soggy Dollar. We loved those adventures but also had such a blast on the boat - a magical home away from home for this week. The family breakfast / lunch / dinner table with all of us together is a gift that is somewhat elusive during this chapter of life, and this time together will be cherished forever. And the food. Truly magnificent every time. Works of art!!!
Since I´m delivering these thanks I´ll add a special shout-out for the TSwift dance parties - and I´m sure the whole family would concur - the games, music, conversations, and boat vibe provided much needed connection and relaxation!
Thank you!!´

Many thanks for an awesome week! Your hospitality and attention to detail could not have been better. The dives, activities and cuisine were fabulous.
Thanks again for such a memorable family vacation!

Jake & Mackenzie,
We can´t thank you enough for making this such a wonderful birthday celebration! From the sailing, diving, amazing food, cool land excursions, and relaxing time on the boat, everything truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you for both welcoming us and making us feel so comfortable throughout the week. We have so many wonderful memories to carry back to Texas with us!

Jake & Mackenzie,
Thank you so much for an unbelievable week! We appreciate so much you sharing your home with us. We enjoyed immensely your energy and spirit, you made the trip so much fun. Awesome dives, wonderful food, and great conversation. All in all, the most relaxing week we´ve spent.

Jake and Mackenzie,
Thank you for making this vacation a memorable one! Y´all are an amazing team, thank you for the wonderful food and sailing! We will miss you!
Much love and Warrrrrr Eagle!

Mac and Jake,
Thank you for such an amazing trip! We had a wonderful time! The entire trip was perfect. The boat, the food, the service was spot on.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

´Wow! Best week ever! Everything was wonderful from the start to the end. You went above and beyond with all the details. The 80´s celebration birthday was so fun at Saba Rock... definitely one for the books! Food was amazing and thanks for everything.´

´We had such an amazing trip!!! So many highlights and memories of a lifetime. Thank you both for hosting and being a part of this awesome trip.´

Thank you so much for making our family holiday so wonderful! The grandchildren, Sarah and Greg, and us all had a really fantastic time. The kids had a wonderful introduction to sailing and the ocean. The meals were delicious and I will miss being so spoiled! Thank you again, this has been such a special holiday!

It´s hard to tell you how much this trip meant to us. The girls were in awe of the islands, the boat, the wildlife, and your incredible hospitality. This was the trip of a lifetime and you two absolutely made it. You are both tireless and went above and beyond in every way.
So much love, can´t wait to see you again!

This trip has been nothing short of awesome! It literally was the best family vacation we have ever done and we can´t thank you both enough! From snorkeling to breakfast cake and goat spotting, we had a blast! We hope to be back but wish you both the best.
You are always welcome in Philly and Avalon!

The best of everything! Karma brought us back for round two but Jake and Mackenzie will bring us back for round three! Thank you for all you did to make our week perfect.

What a trip! Our time with you was fantastic! You are amazing hosts and made sure we were well taken care of at all times. Hope to sail with the two of you again!

-The Ransdell Family

Jake and Mac,
Dream come true! We always wanted to do this and two of you made it even better than we hoped for! We had a beautiful week with nice weather, fun outings, and incredible food. Your gracious hospitality is so very appreciated! Wish you both the very best and don´t hesitate to call if you ever get to the DFW area.

´Best. Week. Ever! We owe it all to ya´ll Jake and Mackenzie! You´ve set the bar high for any and all future vacations. Thanks for the adventures, ´10 minute´ walks, shark shots, morning meetings, skis of shots (shot skis?), games, and everything in between. But mostly thank you for having us in your home and sharing your love for these islands. It´s not goodbye, it´s ´see you later!´´

There are truly no words to express my gratitude towards the two of you. Thank you thank you thank you for making this an experience of a lifetime!

You two have made this trip truly priceless! Thank you for everything - the friendship, food, little details, captain´s skills and knowledge, and of course the ´shark shots!´ have been unmatched! I could go on and on, but we will miss you and we will carry these memories forever.

Thank thank thank you for your outstanding and warm welcome. From the beginning to end we couldn´t have asked for a more amazing time! Although the activities, scenery, and food were first rate, it is your ability to please and accommodate this motley crew that impressed us most. You guys are the best at what you do. We thank you so much for making a most memorable time in the BVI and USVIs.

Thank you for making this sailing trip incredible! The meals were gourmet and delicious! We enjoyed getting to know both of you and hope our paths cross again!

Mac and Jake -
Wow and wow! What a fabulous week! Can´t even express how much fun we had. Keep being you and your future will be amazing!

Dear Mac and Jake, Thank you both for the beautiful week on the Karma! We had the best time. You both are so awesome. The adventure took us to some beautiful places we hope to return to!

Take care and if you are ever in the Smoky Mtns., call us!

Mac and Jake,
[We] don´t have the words for how wonderful the week has been! The boat, the weather, the sunsets, the food, and the fun were awesome! However, you guys are what put it over the top!! Thank you!

´Mac and Jake, I can´t even begin to express my gratitude for all you did to make this trip so special! Your itinerary was exactly what we wanted. Thank you for being so accommodating with Kelea and putting up with all of these requests. This trip was magical and I´ll never forget it! I hope to come back. All the best!´

´Mac and Jake, Thank you so much for an incredible week on Karma! The meals were delicious, the sites were amazing, the boat was awesome BUT, you two made the trip special! You two are the best! Come see us in Texas!´

´Mack and Jake, Wow!! Such an amazing experience. Karma is perfect, the meals are absolutely scrumptious and your delightfully happy and positive attitudes made every day perfect. Thanks for all the hard work and incredible hospitality. We would love to host you both in Dallas and take you to the Ranch!´

Dear Mac and Jake

- Best, the Brooks Fam

´Dear Mackenzie and Jake,
What a wonderful week we had. The cruising, sailing, snorkeling, and the meals were beyond our wildest expectations! But best of all were you two, who couldn´t have been more friendly and accommodating. We are headed home with warm memories and a repertoire of new games to play. All the best!´

´Dear Jake & Mac,

´Dear Mackenzie & Jake,
It was a wonderful week. Thanks for all your easy going, positive vibes. We will remember the trip as full of good Karma, good food, and fun! Wishing you the very best always!´

While the boat is beautiful, the magic of this trip was Mac and Jake! The memories made will feed our souls for years, the laughs will be the music in our dreams, and the music of the sea will be a soundtrack we will play on repeat.

There aren´t enough words to describe how amazing this week has been.
Thank you Jake and Mackenzie - AMAZING!

Thanks for the memories and birthday wishes!
Love our time with you guys.

Cieciuch Family, US Virgin Islands
“Jake and Mackenzie, there are not enough adjectives to explain how AMAZING you both were! Kind, warm, fun, energetic and knowledgeable. The food was incredible (and we are not easy to cook for with allergies and vegetarians amongst us). Mackenzie was so creative. Her presentations were gorgeous. We ate like royalty. Our older daughter - who has the allergies - was thrilled, as were we all. And Jake was a blast and has good karma as we always found the best mooring spots! He was always happy to teach us about the boat and about sailing, and energetically facilitated all the activities of our active family. Both of them tirelessly played games and swam with us and the girls in their down time. Our younger daughter cried all the way to town after they dropped us off because she was missing them so much. We would absolutely book another trip with this duo!”

Johnson Family, US Virgin Islands
“I cannot thank you two enough for such a fantastic trip. Y´all are the best! We really needed the down time and we are so appreciative of you both for taking such great care of our family. Y´all make a great team and you provided our family with an outstanding vacation.”

Herold Family, US Virgin Islands
“Thank you for an amazing experience! You make a dynamic duo. This trip was definitely memorable and that is a big part to do with your amazing hospitality!! The island hopping, the games, and the snorkeling were so fun, and we appreciate all of your hard work and efforts to make this the best trip ever.´

Oren Crew, US Virgin Islands
“Wow! What an amazing time we’ve had exploring St. Thomas and St. John with you! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect match than you both. You made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and you embraced our quirkiness and adventures! You chose perfect spots to explore and did a perfect job listening to our interests and needs and creating a great itinerary accordingly. Mackenzie – the food was top notch! We got so spoiled with your delicious cuisine. We created lasting memories and have enjoyed every moment. The anniversary celebration, “bachelorette party,” and 40th birthday bash were all so fun! We all hope to make a return visit and wouldn’t think to sail with anyone other than you two. Whether it’s here or Croatia, this won’t be the last you see of us!”

Best care anywhere! Charming and incessantly attentive. Hannah and Tom made for a care free week on Karma. The natural beauty of paradise was heightened by our amazing crew and boat. Thanks for the memories!
-Carlos

What an incredible week of great food, beautiful views, fun times, and lifelong memories. Thanks to Hannah and Tom for all the great attention, food, and time!
-Michelle

Both the boat and crew rocked! Thanks Tom and Hannah. Can´t wait to sail with you both again!
-Pete and Dani

Such a great time better than we hoped for with outstanding food and service. Hope we can cruise with you two again soon!
-Love Kate and Kevin

Thank you so much for the most memorable vacay! Hannah and Tom exceeded all expectations. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future for sure!
-George and Mitzy

The crew is what made Karma so perfect. Captain Tom and Chef Hannah..I don’t have adequate words to describe them. They work so well together, are so welcoming and accommodating, anticipated any need we might have before we even knew we wanted it, generous with their time and talent, friendly—we felt at home the moment we came onboard. Honestly, I could keep going. We are all ruined now because they set the bar so high.

Chef Hannah and Captain Tom
Wow- I honestly have no adequate words to thank you enough for sharing your ´Karma´ with us all. I knew this would be an amazing trip, but I had no idea how beyond amazing it would be. The setting, the adventure, all of our experiences were magnified by your grace and hospitality. From the depths of my heart I say ´Thank You´
Many blessings on your adventures to come.
Joan and Jeff

Hannah and Tom,
Thank you for a great adventure, sailing, eating, atmosphere. Everything was perfecto. We are thankful for this amazing week.
Best of luck in your future adventures
-Bill

Tom and Hannah,
Your hospitality is superb!! Karma is such a great boat to entertain. Hannah´s cooking has been so delicious. Tom´s expertise in everything has been amazing. We have had the most wonderful time this week. You have made it one of our most memorable vacations!!
Best wishes for your future together.
Trey and Cindy

Hannah and Tom,
You are amazing! Always a smile and a helping hand when needed. Amazing food putting us in all the right places to really enjoy a spectacular week. You are an amazing team and we wouldn´t have had the special experience we all had without all you did for us. Thank you! While you ´say´ no one saw more octopus that us, it was your guidance that got us there! Octopus, squid, rays, eels, and so many turtles. You always put us in the right spots!
We certainly are leaving with a few more pounds than we came with! Hannah -your menus were great!
We leave with many fond memories and will think back on our grand adventure with delight. We will miss you both and hope you have a wonderful life and many great adventures ahead.
-Amy, Steve, Drew, and Cole

Hannah and Tom,
Hopefully the pounds will leave while the memories linger-we had a marvelous week and took joy in your seamanship and teamwork. You truly are a dream!
Love to both of you and our very best wishes on continuing adventures.
-Dick and Maxine

Hannah and Tom,
It is so hard to find the words to say for what this trip means to us. Family, friends, Xmas, and these good islands all together is incredible but then to have the 2 of you guiding us, cooking for us, sharing tips and smiles makes out hearts so full. Amazingly you showed us new things, new places, new drinks and recipes, and bioluminescent fish on our last night. We all feel reenergized and are already looking forward to next year (we will need time to diet before returning). Lionfish, lobsters, mahi-mahi, turtles-we felt like we were in heaven. Bravo! Standing Ovation! And all our love.
-Connie and Miles, Ron and Andy

Hannah and Tom are really special people…friendly, thoughtful, service oriented, always available to help, professional, lovely. They are truly amazing crew. We highly recommend them. No words would adequately describe the miraculous dishes that came out of that galley! I was wondering how Hannah would pull off another week of fabulous cuisine without repeating dishes we experienced last year, but she did!! We didn’t request new dishes but her creativity and presentation impressed everyone. Our experience on Karma was top class, and we will most certainly do it again!
-Ehrharts

Toma nd Hannah
How can we begin to thank you for giving us this amazing, beautifull, memorable, perfect vacation? We will always remember the two of you and the week on Karma. We loved the FOOD, the two of you, the perfect spots you chose, tubing, hiking, shopping, and the snorkeling. Your hospitality was over the top. We are definitely going to come back for another trip. Safe travels to Grenada! Anytime you are in Maryland look us up, so we can return the hospitality.
Thank you

Hi guys!
If you are reading this know we miss you tons! You guys were the absolute best! The food and drinks and activities were fun-but what we enjoyed most was your company! You are both such kind, interesting, and fun people and I´m so lucky that we booked with you! We must go diving in Truks or skiing in Jackson Hole together! I will always remember your family and I hope this not the last time we meet.
Love Always
Kaleigh

Wow-how do we even put into words what this trip has been for us. Our expectations were incredibly high an they were constantly exceeded. Thank you for an amazing week. Not sure what was the best part-the food, the drinks, the laughs, the great vistas? Thankfully the only casualty was one apple watch. Not sure how we can ever top this trip. Thank you Tom and Hannah for making this all that it has been!
Love Kyle and Brooke

We are at a loss for words to adequately capture how amazing this trip has been! Hannah and Tom went above and beyond to make this our best vacation ever! Gourmet food, beautiful bays, unimaginable rainbows, peanut butter bushwhackers and the best gin fizz ever. snorkeling with seat turtles, sunrises and sunsets, best Kentucky Derby party with caribbean hats to boot. All of it was so fun and special. Even a torrential down pour at Lime Out was fun! Thank you for an amazing vacation. Out hearts (and tummies!) are full. We leave rested and relaxed and hoping to do it again.
-Rachel and Robert

Tom and Hannah,
What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sailing expertise, and hospitality with us. We enjoyed the USVI. there are now words to describe the week we had with you both! To the best captain and chef ever! We will never forget any of it. Keep in touch!
Thank you

Thank you for a fantastic week in paradise! Mat loved the snorkeling in Warerlemon, I loved the Maho Bay hike, the kids loved Cinnamon Beach snorkeling and all the gaming. Camden will remember all the Monopoly and Dominoes. The food was fantastic and the rum punch and bushwhackers were superb! We will be back unless we buy our own boat. Thank you for the best family vacation.
-Ursula and Mat
