Serene, connected, intimate. Xander created an experience that we will carry with us for a lifetime.

Authentic kindness + a love for the place made for an adventure so much more fulfilling than we could have ever hoped for.

We truly felt at home + well cared for. Perfect pacing and really 'getting' our family's vibe resulted in the closest thing we've ever come to A PERFECT TRIP!! WANG!!

Dear Chris (aka Chris cross applesauce) 

Thank you for a great senior year graduation tour! You are an amazing captain! Thank you for taking us to so many beautiful places! We loved to sail, even when we were soaked on the net. Some of our most memorable moments were…

• Losing your hat to the ocean 
• Grilling 
• Surviving the torrential rain

Thank you both for an incredible week filled with sailing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, photo shoots, and truly a day even better than each preceding day!

Kate, Arden, Sarah, Felice

Thank you for the fun times & incredible memories you helped us create, we will cherish our time together! The men loved the diving spots and the gals snorkeled every day enjoying the ocean scenery! Xander was always on watch, the equipment worked great and was well organized. Xander's menus were more pictures of his amazing food presentations than the island scenery. Xander's cooking, artistic ability and menus was GREATLY appreciated! Wow, what an awesome trip. I can't wait to create a photo book to share with Xander & friends in AZ & UT! AGAIN THANK YOU for our wonderful BVI adventure! Warmest regards, Mike O'Connor, & Betsy Weightman

From the beautiful spots we were able to see, to the incredible food and endless laughs, this week was absolutely unforgettable. Chef Xander... we can't thank you enough for a truly amazing trip. It was so fun to trust the process, embrace the surprises, and roll with the punches along the way. We hope the next group has just as much fun as we did... and that they're a little bit better at keeping the sand on the beaches to save your sanity.

Thank you for a vacation we'll always remember! 

-Andrea, Chris, Michelle, Joel, Steve & Sarah

Captain Chris

What an unforgettable week! From the moment we stepped aboard you made us feel less like guests + more like friends. Thank you for safely guiding us through these stunning islands and playing along as "the man we need!" You've made #savethemamas extra special.

With Love Krista

Our fabulous chef Xander made each meal an experience with his great presentations. His kindness and personality made him feel like family. Would recommend this charter and crew to family and friends. Never forget the BVI Bar Bandits!!
