Makin Memories - Crewed Catamaran Charter

This trip exceeded my expectations by far. Thank you for taking us to your favorite spots and for sharing all the toys! I had the best time, snorkeling, and seeing all the wildlife. Courtney, thank you for going above and beyond in cooking. Every meal is such care and attention. Everything was absolutely delicious!

When my son suggested this trip to help me with my bucket list, I did not know what to expect. It by far exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing Courtney. Jim thanks for being a great captain and for sharing your toys. The Dolphins were a highlight!

Thank you so much for helping us create the most amazing memories on the most amazing trip! I cannot think of a single time our family got along so well, and you are both to thank for that. The meals, the sites, and the laughs were all dream worthy. I am so grateful to you both for taking such good care of us, and for your unfailing kindness and generosity. I’m looking forward to more memories soon!

How can we ever thank you for the best trip ever! Personally, I have never felt this relaxed and cared for on any vacation! Courtney, the delicious meal you prepare were above our expectations and made us all feel so healthy and satisfied. I’m leaving with some of your recipes for sure. I doubt they will be as good as yours, but I will try. Jim, you were the captain of fun! We had a ball on the boat toys and off island adventures. You both thought of every detail before we could have imagined. I cannot say enough about your beautiful boat either. No question it was the prettiest out there. Thank you both SO SO much for the vacation of my dreams. I truly appreciate everything you did for my family on this trip, and I am happy to have made two new friends! You two are the best!!!

I expected to have a great time, I expected gorgeous blue water, and I expected to enjoy being taken care of. What I did not expect was to meet two incredible people who put their heart and soul into every single part of the experience. Courtney, the food was beautiful scrumptious and healthy. You are a master chef. I so much appreciate the thought and care that went into every meal. Jim - I dub the “possibility man“! Every toy that got used, every drink that got drunk, every jump that got jumped - you suggested what was possible, and we knew that taking these suggestions would lead to nothing but a great time. You both worked behind the scenes to keep everything on track, and all we had to do was “Be“. You executed every expectation and met hopes we didn’t even know we had. Best trip ever!!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. You have made this vacation so special for me. The beautiful sites were amazing. Courtney, your wonderful meals were absolutely amazing. And Jim all the work you did getting the toys ready and always being there for us - especially with the hotdog toy! Everything was six stars! We made super memories on this trip!

This was an amazing experience, especially for a couple like us that hasn’t done a whole lot of water adventures. The sites were well picked and all food selections were very considerate and well thought out. We appreciate everything!

Makin’ Memories is an understatement. What a trip of a lifetime with great friends and making two new friends. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. Your service and food is above five stars. The memories made here will be with us for a lifetime.

What a fantastic trip! The food was amazing! You guys are terrific hosts, who went above and beyond in all aspects. Every day was memorable, but the second to last day was the cherry on top. On that day, we caught the mahi-mahi and within a couple of hours you guys had cleaned it and served fresh ceviche for an appetizer, and then an unbelievable fillet. Top-notch food and service to make that happen. The locations you guys picked were all great, and the snorkeling was out of this world. Thank you guys for the unforgettable trip, being amazing hosts, and all the memories that were made these last six days.

Thank you for this amazing week we will never forget. Loved the boat, the community, and the off-the-beaten-path adventures. We could not have asked for more. We hope to be back very soon!

What a wonderful trip. Couldn’t ask for anything better. We are blessed to spend this week with great friends and very happy about the new friends we met with you two. We had so much fun and ate like royalty. Thank you so much for all the hard work and great company.

There aren’t enough words or time to say how much we appreciate the two of you in the special memories we will cherish for years to come.

Wow! There’s so much to say, you guys are truly amazing. Thank you for allowing us to spend a week on your incredible adventure. This has been a once in a lifetime trip that we will always remember. Thanks for all the good times!

“Best vacation ever! Incredibly hospitable, great healthy meals, and wonderful drinks. I felt totally pampered. Recommended without hesitation!”

“This week so far exceeded my expectations!!! Everyone in our group agrees that this was the BEST trip of our lives!! I’m never going to sail again without thinking of this week. The effort and planning that you both do is “above and beyond the call.” Meals and cruises were perfect! Not only will I highly recommend you to others, I hope to return for a new Makin’ Memories week!”

“OMG! After dreaming and planning this bucket list trip for 30 years, we can’t believe how wonderful everything was! Far exceeded our expectations! Courtney and Jim, thank you so much for the personal touches on everything you did! We felt like we were staying in a five star hotel! The food and presentation was so impressive! Healthy and delicious! Truly awe-inspiring! We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives as the best vacation ever and having made such good friends in you both! Thank you so much! We can’t say enough about Makin’ Memories!”

“What an amazing experience…everything was perfect – a 5 star sail! From the minute stepping foot on the boat until we stepped foot off….so many wonderful memories were made as well as seeing places and doing things we would never have had the opportunity to do. We were treated like royalty – such pride in all aspects – the food, the fun, the fact that the crew make such an awesome team and work so well together - and delivered beyond any and every expectation. So very accommodating no matter what our requests may have been. They delivered without hesitation and willingly…with excitement and a smile. We are so grateful and so glad to have been part of the experience aboard Makin’ Memories!”

“OMG! I don’t even know where to start. The absolute best vacation in my 55 years of life!! I fully expected the beautiful scenery because I’ve been to the islands before. What I did not expect was meeting and being looked after by 2 of the kindest, most genuinely good people!! I also could not have dreamed for better food. Again the best I’ve ever had. My 23 years in the military has taken me all over the world and I thought I had some great experiences. But this topped them all!!!”

“Courtney and Jim – Truly enjoyed every moment of our time spent on Makin’ Memories! Your hospitality is next to none. One of, if not the best vacation we have ever taken. You guys have thought of everything and make it the most relaxing experience. Food and cocktails are all 5 Star! We will be back to try Itinerary #2!!!

“Wow! Wow! Wow! What an amazing vacation! We had SO much fun and it was so relaxing. We have traveled all over the world, but this was one of my favorite trips! Loved all the drinks and the food was amazing! Thank you so much for spoiling us! Totally Amazing!”

“We had a great time! The amenities were new and high quality (e.g. water toys, towels, furniture, etc.). The food was outstanding! Courtney and Jim were very friendly and professional. We’ve already recommended to friends and family!”

“Courtney and Jim, this was an amazing vacation!! The two of you are wonderfully thoughtful and a pleasure to be around. The work you do is very much appreciated not only for the quality (which can’t be beat), but also for the graciousness. You are able to make a crew of people who are normally very uncomfortable being served and taken care of, feel at ease and relaxed. You are consummate professionals with a welcome friendliness. And let’s not forget that the food and drinks were amazing! We loved every single gourmet meal and surprise drinks! We won’t sail with anyone else after this – never would stand up to your complete comfort and adventures. We wish you the greatest success and hope to vacation with you again soon!”

“Every aspect of our trip exceeded our expectations by miles. Each meal was carefully thought out and somehow was better than the last. I can say I have never had so many consecutive awesome meals. It was like picking your all-time favorite meals and having them prepared for you throughout the week. Unreal! This has been by far the most unique and enjoyable vacation I have ever been on. The most important aspect has to be the crew. You are the ones who allow us to relax and enjoy experiences. Jim and Courtney were the most impressive part of this trip. I had so many enjoyable conversations with you both! Thank you for being so hospitable, accommodating and for pouring your heart and soul into this boat and business!”

“Wow! What an incredible trip! Makin’ Memories sure lived up to its name – beautiful boat, beautiful scenery, amazing food, and the BEST crew! Jim and Courtney – you both are so welcoming, fun-loving, and knowledgeable. The trip was full of action and laughter! Thank you for inviting us into your home and teaching us so much along the way. Can’t wait for the next trip!!”

“Courtney and Jim – Thank you for an awesome week! You both went above and beyond to make the trip incredibly relaxing and fun. The two of you make a great team and I can’t imagine anyone being any better at what you do. You two rock!”

“I am so grateful for all the accommodations that you both worked hard to make us feel so good the entire week! Food was unbelievable and my stomach felt great the entire time. All the spots on the islands were awesome! I would definitely take another time to visit and have you both host us again. Thank you for welcoming us to your boat!”

“Fantastic trip! Lots of sun…lots of relaxation! Fantastic food by which we were routinely impressed. Courtney and Jim were very attentive and doted on us all day long and were super flexible regarding activities. The SubLues were a total hit and the snorkel spots were awesome. We did not want to leave and we will do this again! By far, the best vacation ever! The Aperol spritz’s were terrific – so were the Painkillers, Zombies, Bushwackers, etc. Courtney and Jim are the ultimate hosts!”

I cannot say enough about our vacation on Makin´ Memories. Everyone in our family has nothing but positive and fond memories that are going to last a lifetime.

Courtney and Jim are owner operators and work as a fantastic team. The new boat upkeep and details to guest amenities is impeccable. Both take pride in the care and comfort of their guests.

“The beautiful catamaran´s name Makin´ Memories is exactly what all of us did from the moment we boarded the boat until our adventurous vacation came to a close. Courtney and Jim went the extra mile to ensure we had our wish list of what we would like to do during the week happen. It was incredibly important for us to spend time as a family, laugh, relax, and be outside. Our 2 teenage boys had a ton of fun. Let’s just say my husband and I were thrilled the cell phones were not the main focus of the day!

Courtney is a certified culinary nutritionist. She made an incredible variety of delicious meals and snacks, while keeping our food allergies in mind.

“What a fantastic way to celebrate Christmas through New Year’s!! Captain Jim and Courtney thought of everything and left us longing to come back for more. “Makin’ Memories” held up to her name as we ventured, snorkeled, sailed and scuba dove. Courtney (a certified Culinary Nutritionist) provided endless meals, each one packed with variety, color and flavor. No one in our party is going home hungry. Captain Jim at the helm navigated us from location to location providing us with breathtaking views of the island while giving us plenty of time to relax and explore. We’re looking forward to coming back in the future!”
