HEAVENLY | 2016

Fabulous trip! loved everything about it, the boat, the natural beauty, Madison food, Eric's confident steering. Most of all, Madison and Eric's warm and engaging personalities. Hope to sail with you again in the near future! Let's keep in touch!
You both were such wonderful hosts! Thank you for showing us the beauty of the BVI, cooking wonderful meals , and laughing with us :)
Beautiful boat, great sailing, and experiences, fantastic food, but most of all, truly wonderful people in Eric and Maddie. Would be back in a heart beat. Only issue was too short a time spent on heavenly.

Eric and Madison, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable week in paradise aboard the heavenly! Eric, your calm and steady caretaking made everything feel effortless. Your knowledge, stories, and constant optimism created a sense of ease and trust that allowed us to fully relax and be present. Madison, you are pure sunshine. Your talent as a chef is extraordinary, but even more special is the love you pour into every meal. You filled our stomachs beautifully and refueled our souls in ways we will long remember. Together, you created an adventure that was seamless and full of love and laughter. We will carry this week with us always and are so grateful to you both!

We had an incredible week ringing in the new year aboard heavenly while sailing through the BVIs with captain Eric and chef Madison. The trip was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and every detail was exceptional. Chef Madison's meals were truly Michelin star worth... we even found ourselves missing her cooking whenever we ate off the boat. Captain Eric took wonderful care of us, guiding us from one beautiful destination to the next and making the entire experience seamless and unforgettable. We love you guys!

TC & Sonja,
What a fantastic trip you curated for us. So attentive, so friendly and engaging with our family, and you gave us exactly what we wanted. Couldn’t ask for more. Sonja’s menu and preparation were excellent – 5 stars! TC’s stories and knowledge of the islands brought everything more to life.

Thank you so much for the excellent week.

My experience on “Heavenly” was truly incredible!
I was already very grateful to be on this excursion, but the crew seriously made it ten times better.
Sonja, your food is AMAZING, you’re so talented, and it was awesome getting to know you. And TC, you’re so funny, and a great person to get to know.
Thank you both for enhancing our experience on board this boat! I wish you both the best.

Best wishes,
Lizzie

Heavenly!! Perfect in every way!
The weather was incredible! The boat comfy. But the CREW made it the BEST!
Captain TC & Sonja catered to our every request. Changed our itinerary to get my husband’s bucket list – an island with no other people and amazing sunsets.
Great snorkeling area – one of many.
Captain’s stories about the islands were fascinating.
The food was presented beautifully, on schedule and tasted fantastic! Sonja even adapted for a sick child! Above & beyond!!

Thank you!

8 of us recently had the pleasure of embarking on a five-day cruise aboard the stunning catamaran yacht, Heavenly. It was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we set sail, everything exceeded expectations.

The yacht itself was beautiful and meticulously maintained, offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. The cabins were cozy and comfortable, and the deck was the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail in hand while taking in the gorgeous sunsets each evening.

What truly made this trip special was the crew. Captain Jason was highly experienced and made sure we were always safe and comfortable, all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. The first mate, Jennifer, also served as our chef, and the meals were nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh, local ingredients, and every meal was a culinary delight. From gourmet breakfasts to incredible dinners, we were treated to an endless array of flavors that made the trip feel like a luxury retreat.

Throughout the journey, the crew went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time. Whether it was guiding us through serene coves for a swim or sharing fascinating insights about the islands we visited, they made sure we had an immersive and enjoyable experience.

This cruise was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for a getaway with incredible views, exceptional food, and a professional, friendly crew, this is the experience for you!”

What an amazing trip! Jason & Jennifer make an awesome team and took such great care of us, taking us to the most beautiful beaches and great snorkeling spots while teaching us a little bit of history too! Jennifer kept us well-fed with her delicious food, and Jason, with his smooth margaritas. We can’t wait to come back!
~ Jerry & Ellen

Jason & Jennifer worked as a team to make our experience LEGENDARY! Their mission was our enjoyment, and they succeeded.
~ Owen Tierney

We had such an incredible vacation! There’s nothing like waking up and going to sleep to the ocean breeze and the lull of the waves. Jennifer & Jason are amazing hosts. We were well-fed with delicious gourmet meals and refreshing drinks and treated to the most beautiful beaches! Together, we shared lots of laughter and great music! We will be back!
~ Wendy & David

This was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you for an AMAZING trip! We will miss you, Jason and Jen, and hope to see you both again. Good luck with all your travels.

Jason & Jennifer—Super time, exceeded all expectations. We were family for the day.

What a highlight during my life in the BEST possible way. Andy, Amy (longtime friends and best travel companions), Michael, and I booked this charter about a week before we arrived. We wanted to check out the experience of living on board a catamaran like Ithaka. SPLENDID is the word I’d use to describe Ithaka and her crew!

From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Jason and Chef Jennifer helped us navigate every comfort and experience of this trip. I felt very safe and blessed to find such an impressive first experience on charter with such a lovely team in Captain Jason and Jennifer. Every night and every sunrise presented an experience filled with JOY.

The pitcher of painkiller brought to us on the beach by Jason and Jennifer, unexpectedly, was one of many surprises. No need to eat on the island—Jennifer’s meals were wonderful! We were well-fed and loved through healthy, scrumptious food all week!

May Ithaka sail on in the beauty of St. John, and may we have the experience to join her and her crew again. With much love and respect for the sea.
~ Michelle

What a FABULOUS family vacay! Jennifer & Capt. Jason pulled out all the stops to ensure that adults & kids alike had fun at every turn. The prettiest beach was White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, the coolest experience was touring Necker Island, and snorkeling was a highlight of every day! As was Jennifer’s cooking! We will be back!
~ M.A. Allen

Thank you for a wonderful week! Memories made for a lifetime! Jennifer, you are the #1 BOSS who always kept us on course and well-fed with delicious meals! Captain Jason, your expertise at the helm and positive energy made every day a great one.

You both have an open invitation to NC ANYTIME. We would love to have you!! Until next time, fair winds and tight lines.
~ Love, Chester

J’squared turned J’cubed this week!! I loved our talks and time under the stars every night! Y’all made this trip UNFORGETTABLE with Jennifer’s delicious meals and Jason’s fun energy. Thank you for taking the kids and me to the Pirate Show—I think Jason loved it the most. Haha.

This has TRULY been a spectacular journey. Love you!
~ XO Ja’nanny

Jennifer and Jason made our trip exceptional. We had to make a last-minute vessel and crew change, and both Jennifer and Jason made everything come together so that my 52nd birthday trip was amazing.

This was our first charter, and they provided so many opportunities for special memories that we will always cherish. Jennifer—your culinary skills are amazing, and thank you for the love & care you showed our family! Jason—I will never forget our talks. You are so young! We are envious of your life adventures ahead!

PS. We will pack much, much, much less next time!

~ Love, John & Kristin
