Olivia Charles - Crewed Catamaran Charter

To sail in the BVI has been my dream trip and this week exceeded all of my expectations largely due to
you, Tommy and Emma! You have treated us like family and catered to our every whim (and there were lots!). The two of you work together like poetry. Your mastery of the boat made us feel safe at all times. You maintain the boat as if it were your child. It is beautiful and clean and inviting and comfortable. Tommy’s endless cocktails were a delight and what can we say about the food??!! Emma, we truly do not know how you can whip up such wonderful, creative, delicious and beautiful dishes, day after day in the tiny galley! ……..5 star every meal!.
The endless beautiful sights and activities have created lifelong memories for us all. We truly feel blessed to have had the great fortune to spend a week with you in the BVI! God willing, we will meet up with you again. Please look us up if you ever get to Atlanta!
With all our love and greatest of thanks, K family

Emma and Tommy,
Another year where our family is fortunate enough to spend a week with you both aboard the Olivia Charles. This week in the BVI has exceeded our expectations. The food, the sharing of boating and local island knowledge, the sailing and motoring about along with your absolutely wonderful company has been nothing short of amazing.

As I write this I’m sitting on the bow, looking out over Little Harbour. It’s Bea out, the sky is clear blue as is the water, and I’m listening to the waves lap against the shore. Thank you for giving us all these moments, along with the adventures of hiking, snorkelling, swimming and kneeboarding! Until next March these memories will serve us well. With love and appreciation for all you do,
Kathleen, Pete & family

Tommy and Emma,
Such a perfect week! A little rain made it all more fun and adventurous. Emma I don’t know how you create such meals that should be winning awards instead of disappearing as fast as we can consume every bite. Tommy, I don’t even drink and I had the very best cocktails ever! Annie and Patty kept you busy, but you kept them happy as I’ve ever seen them! The picnic was so fun. You two are what really made the entire week memorable. You went above and way beyond, thank you so much,
Bruce, Eileen, Patty, Rick and Annie

There are not adequate words to express how much we enjoyed this truly magical experience and how grateful we are to the two of you. The entire week was perfection- from. Tommy´s fun drinks and exceptional sailing to Emma´s out-of-this world food and consummate professionalism and kindness. We have laughed (and laughed until we cried), and on and on. None of us will EVER forget this trip, and we are going home begrudgingly.......but with memories that will last a lifetime. You all (y´all) are ALWAYS welcome in Kentucky, and we will treat you to the very bourbon, fondly, Rebekah, Shannon, April, Brooke, Shannon G, & Jenny

Thanks so much for an amazing week! Your kindness and care for us was always evident in every delicious meal, drink and time spent together whilst sailing and relaxing bays and anchorages. We truly enjoyed ourselves and feel rejuvenated as we return back to work and to some of our normal routines. Thanks also for the extra attention and acknowledgment of Monica´s and my 33 year anniversary. We hope to return one day and to see you both again. Please visit us in Virginia if you´re ever traveling to Washington D.C. and let us treat you like Royalty as you have done for us, love Charlie & Monica and the gang.

Way beyond expectations! What a wonderful sailing a culinary experience! It was a definite “must do again” because both of you are amazing! The energy, laughs, and the effort you both made to create the perfect “esprit du couer’.
Please know how much we appreciated all your work in making our voyage a very memorable experience! I look forward to seeing you again under sail.

What a fabulous voyage! Thank you for making our first sailing trip so wonderful. The sailing was marvellous and the cuisine was exquisite. Never have we felt so pampered! It will be very difficult to leave.

It’s fair to say we have been blown away by this week spent on the Olivia Charles sailing the Windward islands with you both. From the moment we met you, we knew we were in good hands and Tommy and Emma delivered exceptional service from the start. Thank you for accommodating the dairy intolerance Emma, your ability to work around it and make incredible meals every day was amazing!
Tommy- Painkillers will now be a family tropical staple.
Your attention to detail, kindness and sense of humour (and putting up with two young boys) made this trip our best ever. We hope to see you in the BVIs next year! All the best the Rees family

Tommy and Emma, what a wonderful experience! Having previously been on at least 10 sailing charters, you two are unquestionably the best crew that we have ever had! Tommy your maritime management skills are exemplary and Emma, your culinary skills are commensurate with the finest restaurants that we have ever experienced. It was a trip that we will remember for a lifetime. Come visit us in New Orleans!

Dear Emma and Tommy,
Not sure where to begin, but what a fabulous sail! The food was 5 star and the service the same. Thank you for all you did to make our vacation so special. A sail to
Remember!
Tracy and Frank

´This was a special adventure to share with our dearest friends, to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and our favourite pastime, traveling! It was made so special for all of us with your kind attention, fun stories, and we loved discovering some new and old destinations with you. We have chartered a lot and always love the food, but Emma, you are a very talented chef! This week was like eating at a Michelin starred restaurant everyday! Thank you so much for a wonderful time.
Terri & Larry´

Dear Emma and Tommy,
From our first conversation on the phone, I knew we were in store for a fabulous charter. Thank you for everything. Your genuine warmth and caring to see that all of our wishes were met and exceeded. This was our first charter, something we have talked about for years, you’ve set the bar high.
We will be back to see the BVI with you, I’m already looking forward to it. We will see you both again.

Dear Tommy and Emma,
Thank you for the most amazing week! No better way to experience the Caribbean than aboard The Olivia Charles with you two. As soon as we saw this gorgeous yacht, beautiful flowers and champagne toast, we knew we were in for a special week. All the meals were exceptional and beautifully plated. Tommy your drinks were delish!
Thanks for all the laughs. We hope to see you in the BVI soon.

Captain Tommy and Miss Emma,
We have enjoyed every moment of our trip! The food, sailing and company was amazing.
Thank you for creating so many adventures for our family. We can’t wait to come back.
