Trip of a lifetime to be repeated

We chartered catamaran, Alive! for 7 nights in mid January. Booking with Ellen at VI Sailing was a breeze. She is extremely friendly and helpful. Kristina was also wonderful and assisted with planning our trip. While aboard Alive, Captain Noam and Chef Dalit were incredible! Noam is a great captain, he knows all the best islands and activities. Dalit is an incredible chef, we loved every meal! They are truly an awesome crew!! We had a total of 8 guests on the boat, it was plenty spacious and the accommodations were great. We had a wonderful trip and highly recommend this vacation!!

This is an excellent crew. Christiaan is a first class captain. His maturity, experience and dedication to safety is well beyond anything you would expect from a young man of his age. There were a few early moments of "getting to know each other" as he was maybe a bit too abrupt in explaining the rules of the boat. He got along great with the four adults and our six children. He had great suggestions for the itinerary, snorkeling, water sports, hikes, bars, drinks, etc. And he makes a mean Painkiller. Best in the Carribean, trust me! You will not regret having this movie-star looking young man as your captain. Now...the piece de resistance...Hanrie. What this little lady does in her galley kitchen is absolutely miraculous. Breakfast, lunch, cocktail hour, dinner. One fabulous meal after another. I was telling them one night about the great South African BBQs (brai's) I had been to over the years. Voila! On the final night we had the most incredible leg of lamb with all the trimmings. The intimate Afrikaans meal. Can't wait to get back on a boat with Christaan and Hanrie. Maybe next time without the kids! W.

Greg, Vanessa and Blue Passion gave my family the trip of a lifetime. We were totally satisfied and won't hesitate to book with them again. They are totally committed to customer satisfaction, know their sailing areas very well, and have all the tools to make your vacation a true joy. Vanessa is gourmet French chef who turns every meal into a dinning experience. Greg is an extremely competent and experienced captain. They are both wonderful to be around.

I contacted several charter brokers when researching our trip for the BVIs. Emily, at VIS returned my calls immediately. She was very honest on her opinions of the different boats. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking to book a boat charter. Emily was prompt to answer all my questions. I can't say that for the other companies I spoke with. We were traveling over NYE. This is the busiest week of the charter season. Other brokers wouldn't even return my calls as if they couldn't be bothered. Emily really dug in to find the right boat and crew for us. I am thankful and will use her in the future.

Amazing and wonderful sailing time with Pierre & Adele. The best crew of the world. Lovely places in the Spanish Virgin Islands, great food and once again, the best crew!

Wonderful, everything!!!!

This was our second sail aboard a VI Sailing charter boat, and once again, we had a fabulous trip. Nadiya is a well-appointed 47-foot catamaran. Captain Colleen and Chef/First Mate Matt were welcoming, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and eager to make sure our family trip was a success. We sailed over Christmas week -- our first Christmas away from home -- and they made it extra special by decorating the boat, including a tiny Christmas tree! Matt's cooking was five-star every single meal. We asked for healthy meals and fun desserts, and he outdid himself preparing breakfasts, lunches and dinners that satisfied our desire for light, fresh food while focusing on truly beautiful presentation. Out two teenage girls had loads of fun snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding, hiking, shopping, visiting local hot spots, swimming in the Bubbly Pool and relaxing aboard. Great sailing and lots of fun games of hearts by candlelight!
