TESTIMONIALS:
Captain Tim and crew, a huge thank you from me. I just spoke with my client, and I have to say hearing such a happy client is the best part of this job! He raved about the crew, the experience, and the yacht. He has chartered many times and is a previous yacht owner so I was thrilled to hear: “The crew was off the charts!”, “The trip was perfect, could not have been better”, “this was a great yacht for us”.
Broker, September 2022
We had a group of 6 on the Lady Victoria and had a marvelous time. The boat was pristine and the staff was remarkable. I would highly recommend this boat and her crew.
Client, March 2022
We are so happy to tell you how much we loved our time aboard LADY VICTORIA abd the dedicated staff. The boat was so beautiful and impeccably maintained. We were very comfortable throughout the trip. We enjoyed each destination and loved exploring in the tender. The kids enjoyed night fishing and all the water sports. One of the biggest highlights were the amazing meals prepared by Gaylinn. We loved the fresh fruit in the mornings, the lunch salads and the fish for dinner. The presentations were unbelievable and to say we were impressed is an understatement. And, she was incredibly warm and friendly and well prepared. The captain and crew were professional and fun! They were attentive and helped us create some crazy, beautiful memories.
