Sea Dog - Crewed Catamaran Charter

GUEST REVIEW TO BROKER

We arrived home safe and sound last night. I wanted to let you know what an amazing time our family had on the SeaDog. We were treated like family by Nick and Kate and our son absolutely adores Nick. He spent so much time helping Nate fish and educating him on things, that we saw Nate come out of his shell and have great moments of dialog with Nick. We couldn’t be more happy than this.
Kate prepared amazing food all week and waited on us hand and foot.
The SeaDog was very clean and accommodating.
We couldn’t have had a better crew. We highly recommend Nick and Kate, they championed this entire memory for our family.
Thank you.!!!!

Yacht Name: Sea Dog

Rating of Yacht & Crew: 5

Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes very good layout and very clean.

Was the yacht well ventilated?
Very - we kept the doors open during the day and the AC was nice and cold at night

Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Our crew was absolutely amazing. Captain Nick was the perfect balance of fun and safe. I knew about 30 mins in to being on the boat that he had our safety as his number one priority and that he knew sailing inside and out. He took us to great spots and when he wasn’t busy sailing he was busy cleaning up, getting toys out, helping Kate, or answering any of our million questions we were always throwing at him. He fished with us every night and that was definitely a highlight of the trip. Kate…no words. I think I speak for all of us when I say we wanted to take her home with us! She was the sweetest, kindest hostess we could ever imagine. Her food was delicious and her drinks were even better! She worked so hard the week we were there and you could tell she loved every minute of it. It would be hard to imagine doing this trip with anyone else.

Was the food good and well presented?
Yes the food was amazing. Every meal was delicious and our Chef, Kate, took into consideration all of the likes/dislikes we each told her about.

Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
We can’t imagine a better time than the one we had onboard Sea Dog with Kate and Nick. Every aspect was perfect - from the planning with VI Sailing to the trip itself. The boat was beautiful and safe and our crew took the best care of us. It was hard to leave on the last day.
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes! We were so glad we were about to visit both the USVI and BVI in one trip.

We had the best week ever on Sea Dog with Captain Nick and Chef Kate. Every aspect of the trip far exceeded any expectations that we had. The boat was beautiful. Very spacious and the lay out was perfect for our group of 6 to be together or spread out when needed. Our absolute favorite feature of the boat was the flybridge. It was where we ended every day and I can’t imagine being on a boat without that space.

We just returned home from a fabulous week aboard the Sea Dog. We were celebrating a couple of 40th birthdays with some dear friends! We could not have chosen a better boat and crew. Nick & Kate took the best care of us and made the week even that much better! They even joined in on our 80s theme night. Loved getting to know them and would sail again with them in a heartbeat! Sea Dog was the perfect size for our group and we loved all of the snorkeling, SUP, and fishing! The sky bridge was my favorite spot for pre-dinner happy hour. This was the absolute best way to see the USVI & BVIs. We cannot wait to do it again!

Thank you for all your hard work! You made our vacation relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. Your hospitality and attention to detail is unmatched!
We wish you well in your future adventures

Thank you so much for this vacation that I´ll never forget. I appreciate everything you guys have done.

Thank you so much for taking our family on an amazing adventure! From the first sunset to the last, the week was full of gorgeous scenery and picturesque views. Your attention to detail, expert planning, and delicious meals have truly given us the most memorable spring break!!

Highlights: avoiding the shakes with well crafted cocktails :), snorkeling with sea turtles, sea scooters, sailing....sailing....sailing, deserted beaches, food....food...gummy bears....cheese puffs..., playing family games every night while we still have the kids under our roof.

Sincerely, Thank you for sharing your expertise and ´second home´ with us!! We will never forget this experience or you two. Best wishes to you in your future sails!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for an amazing, unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. Looking forward to this, but not knowing what to expect, we relied on your guidance and knowledge. We were able to see some of God´s most beautiful creations.

Thanks Mike for smooth sailing and taking us to some great snorkel spots. It was a good balance between activities and relaxation. We sure got lucky and spoiled with some amazing food and will be dreaming of how delicious everything was.... and probably need to go on a diet when we get back home :)
I think it is safe to say, that this has been the best vacation for all of us.

Thanks for navigating our dream vacation! Your attention to detail and your professionalism was outstanding.

We could not have had a better crew couple that treated us with the most respect, service and food I could have ever imagined.

Thank you so much for an incredible week. We had high hopes and everything exceeded our expectations. You two are an amazing team and you cover every job from Chef, to Captain, to activity leader, to bartender, and even hair stylist! It was lovely to be pampered all week and I will miss the lazy days and long beautiful sunsets. You both were a joy to have a long as company as well. We hope to stay in touch and please let us know if you ever head toward Chicago. Looking forward to coming back to the Virgin Islands soon - maybe you will have a bigger boat by then and we can all fit.

Best of luck to you both!

Thank you so much for a wonderful charter! You both made the journey incredibly relaxing and were very accommodative. I know we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.

On top of that, the beautiful views, the BOMB food band the organization of the ship made this something I look forward to doing again.

What a pleasure it has been spending this week with you both. You both are incredible hosts and have made this trip one I will never forget.

Thank you for making our journey fantastic beyond anything we could imagine! The food was amazing and five stars for Captain Mike as well!

The teamwork was amazing! The adventures and food was all 5 stars!!
We were so comfortable, pampered and relaxed!!
Our seven day journey became a lifetime memory! Thank you!

Thank you both for hosting such a wonderful trip for our family. She is a beautiful boat. The primary cabin is huge and was such a treat for my wife and I. There was plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy meals, play cards, read and take in the spectacular views. The food was delicious and the service was flawless. We are grateful for all the spot on activity recommendations. This was our first charter experience and we can´t wait to come back and do it again!

´Thank you´ is not enough to show our gratitude to you Mike and Julie for an incredible trip!! We always felt safe in Mike´s capable hands and the 5-star meals by Julie were the best part! After this vacation, we are going home well rested, pampered and wishing we could take Julie home with us to keep us fed :).

This week of sun, amazing cocktails, beautiful beaches and tons of laughs is exactly what we all needed.

For all your hard work, we say: THANK YOU!!

You are the reason our vacation had been perfect! The Caribbean is beautiful, Sea Dog is fantastic but Julie and Mike- You Rock!!
Your professionalism, hospitality, anticipation of every need of your guests is just incredible!
... And the food- Delicious, beautifully presented and exceeding our expectations every day.
You both took great care of us and we can´t thank you enough for making our vacation an amazing experience!
If we had to rate your service, five stars isn´t enough, a constellation & BEYOND!

Thank you for treating us so well! You took incredible care of us and we are so grateful! You made our 15th wedding anniversary super memorable. We loved the snorkeling and exploring via SUP! What an amazing way to see the USVI! The food was so perfect and delicious! We will be craving your eggplant parmigiana for years to come!

Your hosting was so attentive and yet so effortless. You are both such naturals at this gig. We enjoyed our easy conversations and getting to know you both!
Watching the stars on the upper deck and listening to random 90s music was another highlight!
Thank you!!

I wanted to send a quick note about our trip. I’ll start with fantastic! Wonderful! Amazing! Spectacular!
It TRULY is just gorgeous. It is spacious and very well appointed. Mike and Julie were so great! They were simply lovely people who were thoughtful, kind and anticipated what we would want. They take good care all the way around. We were pampered beyond expectations.

(Our only disappointment was on Sunday following our return home we were left to our own devices in our homes to mix our own drinks, prepare our own meals and clean up after dinner! HaHaHa )

I will close with a heartfelt thank you for sharing your beautiful sailing vessel with us.
