Leeway Guest Reviews
March 2023
I enjoyed the most incredible retreat from start to finish - everything was so thoughtfully planned and curated to ensure each guest felt seen, heard, and so taken care of while on the boat. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience.
Awaken The Waters Retreat was the most life changing experience of my life. St Thomas’s magic was undeniable with incredible food , host and captain! Bioluminescence and shooting stars were the highlight of the trip. I will be back again and again.
What was the highlight of your experience on Leeway?
Oh gosh, this is a hard one. The highlight would be witnessing the passion that you have infused the experience with. Each detail was carefully curated based on your own experience and your love for the lives you have created. From the presentation of the flowers on the boat to the tours, the excursions, the snorkeling, the sailing, the FOOD! It was all offered with such pure intentions of bringing the best possible experience for us all.
The entire trip was the highlight - from start to finish it was an experience I will never forget.
The bioluminescent waters, the shooting stars, the private experience, the food was absolutely phenomenal.
How was the food? What was your favorite meal and what was your least favorite?
The food was incredible!! I miss Jess´s cooking so much - although I did invest in an airfryer when I got home! haha My favorite meal was the lobster - both evening and morning breakfast with it. YUM! I´m not sure I had a least favorite.
Insane! It was like dining at a 5 star restaurant every meal - so delicious. You could taste all the love, energy, and effort that went into the meals.
I loved them all so much. No least favorite. I loved day 1 food. I loved the pancakes!! I loved the fruit mandalas. I loved it all.
February 2023
We were a party of four and spent one night out on Leeway along the south side of St. John. Bubba, Jessica, and Heather were awesome! They were attentive to the needs of our group and always on top of things before we had to ask. The boat is absolutely beautiful! The beds are comfortable, the crew keeps the boat immaculate, and the AC worked perfectly. The living areas on the boat are the best – there is so much space and so many different spots to hang out, take a nap, or eat Jessica’s amazing and healthy food.
The boat is loaded with water toys and fun things to do on a mooring or at anchor. We did one dive at Ledges and the corals and sea life were magnificent. Bubba and Heather are awesome divers and Jessica is a great hype girl and underwater photographer! We spent hours trying out the hydra-foil which is a must! And paddle boarding around was a blast. I highly recommend a trip on Leeway! 10/10

Thank you Chef Jessica, for a once in a lifetime experience of constant fun and good times! From amazing meals to helping us with spiritual growth, you have been way beyond nice! Your food was absolutely delicious and fueled all of our fun times together! Thanks for connecting to each of us on a personal level and reaching all of our hearts through our tummies!
January 2023
I have to say that the experience on the Leeway was one of my all-time favorites thus far! Being on the yacht provided an intimate container to simply BE. The food was incredible; colorful, flavorful and plentiful! The extra attention to the care and delivery of the excursions and adventures allowed us to experience the beauty of the local area without the overwhelm and crowded tourist aspect. I thoroughly enjoyed the extras that the boat offered such as fishing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, efoiling, and snuba diving. Every detail down to the towels, the bedding, and the pillows offered a feeling of luxury. I will definitely be back!
