VISION | 1995

What a beautiful charter we had this week Jenny, Bob & James!
Had a fantastic time starting in Tortola and sailing to Norman Island. Having a blast jumping the Willy T with Valentin as a great tour guide. We enjoyed all the best food onboard VISION ! We were very well fed! And "watered"! Another adventure to Peter Island for snorkeling and then to Copper for lunch. Val was brave enough to saved as the best mooring close to shore! Thank you to Charlie, Carolina and Valentin for welcoming us onboard and taking such good care of us! Your warmth and hospitality are top notch! Thank you for a beautiful trip. The S.

Charly and Carolina, Thank you for a truly magical family experience. We felt right at home and enjoyed our family time snorkeling, sailing and enjoying amazing meals. Thank you for wonderful memories that we will cherish always! The D.

My favorite thing was fishing. I caught 2 fish and almost caught a barracuda. William D. (11 y/o)

Thank you so much! Snorkeling with you and swimming were so much fun, as well as sitting on the trampoline in the front of the boat while sailing. Keeley D.

Truly a fantastic way to end our first visit to the BVI! We absolutely enjoyed our visit and time on VISION.
Perfect weather, awesome sailing and wonderful snorkeling. Thank you! Ted R.

Captain Charlie & Carolina,
What a spectacular adventure! I first came to BVI to stay on a boat 30 years ago and to came back this week with my girls and sail with you both has been magical. It was an exciting adventure navigating the winds, visiting Norman and Cooper Island. We loved finding a lobster in the waters at Norman and Starfish and stingrays at Cooper. Your roti, your chicken salad and the seafood dish were DELICIOUS!
Carolina, I will always remember your amazing desserts, specially the chocolate chip cookies with whipped cream, dulce de leche and hot chocolate.
It was a perfect start for our trip. Thank you both for taking such good care of us and letting us leave our stuff all over the cabins!
We will be back!

Capt Charley & Carol, Thank you so much for such a memorable trip around the BVIs. It was a great compliment to the Rosewood at Little Dix Bay to experience the area by boat for a few days. Your food was amazing, but even better was hearing your stories. We look forward to next time.
Please let us know if you ever come up to Boston or Vermont!
Thank you so much Tom & Marie H.
Best of luck to Valentino and his career endeavors as a pilot!

Charly, Carolina, And Val
Ed and I dreamt & planned for this sailing adventure for a LONG time! I must say it was more amazing than we could have ever imagined! Everything was a new experience for us, as the days went on our "sea legs" improved (LOL) :) OUR sleep NEVER better!

The food was incredible & delicious but more than that, spending time with the three of you and learning how to "live" on a sailboat, & most importantly learning about how you live your lives—was such a delight!!!

We loved your stories, your songs, your laughter..... We feel we have made friends for life! We thank you so much for the caring, kind and thoughtful ways you all took care of us!

Love you all xxxx Patty

P.S. Patty has said it all and better than I can ever put in words! This was the trip of a lifetime, most of all the new friends that will live in our memory forever plus a day :) Our lives are in a better place after meeting all of you and sailing the B.V.I. VISIT US IN NAPLES! Love you all , Ed

Avery: "Thank you so much for such a fun trip! The food was great and I loved Christmas dinner, it was very filling and yummy. I enjoyed the trip to Willy T’s where we jumped off the boat and I enjoyed going back to Saba Rock!

Kelly & Ryan: Our 2nd trip with you was amazing as expected! Thank you so much for everything — every meal, cocktail, gifts, conversations and details — so thoughtful. We will miss you, until next time. Love, Kelly & Ryan

Charly & Carolina, Thank you so much for allowing us to board your boat to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. For our first sailing over night trip, it will be hard to top in the future. You were both so kind and lovely host, and an amazing chef. Until we meet again, and again, happy birthday Charly. Holly & Ben L.

Charly + Carolina (and Val too) How wonderful it was to join you again after all these years! Thanks so much for providing our expanded family with fun times, great food and adventure.

Charles: To Charly, Carolina & Val Thank you so much for a wonderful week! Please remember that you are always welcome in Colorado! Until next time!

My Friends, Where do I start. This adventure started 2 years ago. We had such a great time on the first charter that we could not pass it up again. Spending time with great friends again. With the boys having such a great relationship, to playing 'Spin the disc' on Spotify playing good music and singing with the best of friends. There is no part of this journey that I could pin point as my favorite part. There are too many favorites to list. I hope in the future that you all will come to visit us in Minnesota and we can make many more memories together. With all the love and friendship in the world, Matt S.

Charly, Carolina + Val : I cannot overstate how much I have enjoyed getting to know you guys more & more with each passing day. I do hope our friendships will last for years to come & we have many more adventures together as families... then as adults only while the boys are away @ college! So many memories this time around, but a highlight was jumping back into the water after hearing Val yell 'Shark' and finally finding it and swimming with it! And the nerve wrecking moments watching the boys cliff jumping @ the Baths. What a difference 2 years makes. Thanks again for your kindness & generosity. We will see you next year. Much Love, Erica S

Ethan: "I think my favorite part was going to the Willy T and jumping off it again. Doing flips into the water was so fun. Yeah and tacos was delicious, and hanging out with Val again was cool."

Wyatt: "My favorite part was either jumping off the Willy T again, or spending a day on Virgin Gorda and renting the seabobs and going to the baths and cliff jumping with Val and Ethan. Thank you for the memories once again. -Wyatt"

Captains Charlie & Carolina, Thank you so much for a great couple of nights cruising the channel. Such a FUN celebration of my 60th birthday and our 15th anniversary. We had a great time eating, drinking, and floating our way through the islands. We will see you before our 30th anniversary! Kim & Sean G.

"Charlie & Carolina, We had an amazing time exploring the BVI with both of you! Thank you for creating memories for Tara and I that we will have with us forever. We enjoyed the great lunch and dinners that you cooked for us. Our favorite day was probably the snorkeling and seeing the different fishes. Also jumping off of Willy-T’s was fun. We will continue to season our foods with Argentinian spices in memory of both of you! Love, Dan & Tara D.

Few perfect nights aboard VISION with Charlie, Carolina and Valentin complete with some sailing, delicious meals and wonderful conversation. Can't think of a better way to spend our last days in the BVI. Thank you! L. & W. R.

Thank you for helping to create memories that will last forever! You made my 50th Birthday celebration perfect. You made us feel like family all week. We will never forget celebrating New Years & bringing in 2025 with you at the amazing Rosewood Hotel Party as well as celebrating Carolina’s 50th Birthday. So many celebrations in one week!! I want to let you know that you have raised an amazing son! Val was wonderful to Bryce (11 yrs old) & they had the best time together. Val was the best tour guide around the islands. We came in as guests but leaving as friends!! We will absolutely be back on the Vision. When in Virginia, our home will be your home & we will cook for you.
Love, Angela, Richie & Bryce M.

Charlie & Carolina,
We can't tell you enough how incredible our trip was together. It will be one to remember forever! You made our engagement feel so incredibly special. Thank you for taking care of us, we will never forget this trip. We love you guys!
Pete & Joelle Z.

Thank You for a wonderful charter despite the circumstances. We appreciate all of the hard work that went into chartering us all around the BVI's, despite rain & wind. We felt SAFE (Very important) + appreciate that you were taking care of us. I can't say enough how much I LOVED + appreciate the good, fresh natural food you provided us. Each chop of the knife was done in love and we felt that, so thank you, thank you. We hope to see you again one day. Please look us up if you ever come to San Diego. Of course, we would love to meet Valentine one day too. Sending you love & light.
Wishing you only good things & happiness.
Ross & Lisa

Thank you so much for a beautiful memory. What a blessing you gave us to spend time with our children & friends. Come to Augustine and I will cook southern food for you. Blessings to you and your family. Jim & Dan

Dear Charlie and Carolina, Thanks you for un unforgettable three nights adventure in the BVI. We had such a fantastic time sailing and exploring. Every moment was so well thought-out, from the amazing meals to the seamless navigation that took us to the most stunning spots. It was a real treat to let James assist with the sailing. It made the experience so personal and special.. We truly appreciate the care, hospitality and expertise you share with us. We look forward to seeing you both again and to hear updates on Valentin's future. James and Danielle M.

Todo esto comenzo como una aventura, partiendo a un lugar que nunca me habia imaginado. 7 dias vividos increiblemente junto a parte de mi familia. Nunca me voy a arrepentir de haber generado esta quimica entre mi familia y amigos, amigos del corazon y del espiritu. Un gran beso y abrazo. Gustavo O.

Caro y Charlie, ha sido un placer y un honor conocerlos a ustedes y al genio de Val, que estuvo atento de todo lo que pasaba en el barco.No tengo mas que palabras de agradecimiento, todo estuvo impecable en todo sentido. Gracias, Gracias, Gracias!! Daniel O.

Caro y Charlie, estos dias en el Vision han sido sonados. Los lugares, las vistas unicas, la hospitalidad y la buena onda de todos los dias, las historias de cada lugar que visitamos y el introducirnos a la cultura local...maravilloso! Desde el primer momento nos hicieron sentir en familia, abriendo las puertas de su hogar, compartiendo anecdotas y momentos que quedaran guardados en nuestro corazon. Muchas gracias! Sol O.

Como en todos mis viajes, llegue sin expectativa alguna, pero este viaje fue muy especial ya que fue con mis tios, en un barco y el plena naturaleza. Pude desconectar completamente y conectar con lo simple de la vida, la naturaleza y el disfrute del ahora. No me quedan mas que palabras de agradecimiento por estos dias, por los lugares tan lindos que nos hicieron conocer, por la buena onda cada dia. Nos abrieron las puertas de su casa y pudimos vivirlo con ustedes. Val es lo mas!!! Muchas gracias, espero volver!!! Tati O.

Charlie and Carolina, Thank you for the perfect ending to our first but, not last, trip to Virgin Gorda.

A big THANK YOU to Captain Charlie and Fist Mate Carolina! We appreciate everything you did to make this trip such a success. You made Alex's first sailing experience so memorable and we are excited for the next one!

Maybe next time we will meet Val!
Erica and Alex

Everything went with a flow, places, activities, pirate Show, cookie making, dinghy rides, a lot of sailing, a lot of snorkeling and even a nurse shark encounter. Good laughs, good food, and moments.

Charly & Carolina,
Thank you very much for your excellent hospitality and attention to detail on our charter. I know the entire family had an amazing time on the trip, and it met all of our expectations. We will definitely recommend you and the Vision to our friends and family! Let us know when you are in Colorado again!
Michael

Thank you Captain Charly & Carolina for such a wonderful vacation for our family. We have been looking forward to this for a long time and it didn’t disappoint! The food was excellent, the boat was amazing, our stops were enjoyable…for me, a highlight was chatting with Carolina and getting to know her better. Our day in Virgin Gorda was my favorite day.
God bless you both, and Val as well!
Michele

Charly and Carolina,
It was so nice to travel with someone so experienced and knowledgeable! Thought I’ve been to the Virgin Islands before, this time we saw so much more details about our destinations, and also new ones completely! I’m glad you were able to bring our family together again. You took such good care of us, we had more time to catch up and connect. I do hope you can enjoy a visit to Seattle sometime.
Hasta luego,
Mason

Thank you for having us aboard Vision. I had an excellent time. Every day I looked forward to a new adventure, snorkeling or enjoying, and then coming back to the boat to enjoy an expertly crafted meal. I am impressed how well kept and maintained the boat is. I hope that many more can enjoy it in the future.
Morgan

Thank you both for the memories in the BVI. Tis will be a trip to remember for the rest of my life, thanks to your enthusiasm and positivity. The presentation of the boat and meals were incredible. It was so cool to meet you both as total strangers, and leave with you guys as part of the family. Thank you for all you’ve done, and I hope to see you again in the future.

Thank you very much for all that you did to create the perfect sailing getaway for my family over the New Year’s holiday.

This is the second charter we have done with you, and my husband and I, and our two school-aged boys, could not imagine a more perfect vacation.

You have a magic ability to know who the right charter for us would be, and your deep knowledge of the industry and the boats/crews available helped us enjoy the most wonderful, relaxing, fun, and perfect vacation we have ever experienced together as a family.

Your professionalism and thoughtful follow up only added to the very positive experience. Our time on catamaran VISION with Capt. Charly, Carolina and Valentin exceeded all our hopes and expectations.

We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and well-outfitted boat, delicious food and drink, and incredible comradely set on the warm turquoise sea with jaw-dropping views, swimming and snorkeling, and stunningly private anchorages.

We really wanted the feeling of being completely free and away from it all, yet with luxury amenities: you made that dream come true. I hope that we may have the opportunity to book with you again.

Warmest regards,
The "L" Family

To Charly & Crew,
Thank you for a wonderful experience on boat the boat VISION, Great food, service and entertainment. We will have memories for a life time and funny pictures of us at Willie T’s, Sola Rock, etc. Food was amazing. With the exception of being stung by a tropical bee, it was an amazing trip. Best to you and your families.
Till next time,
Tom

Charly & Crew,
Thanks for an amazing time. First time to ever sail on a boat and ya’ll made it fund and beyond comfortable. You’re welcome for the cardio and leg workout on 300+ beer runs (lol). Again thank you for the memories and wish you both success on your future voyages and adventures,
Rick
P.S. Can you grab me a beer please? 😊

Can’t thank you enough for an amazing adventure! This was my first trip to the BVIs and I will definitely be back!!
Thanks Captain Charly and Crew for being attentive and so knowledgeable about everything. And our last night was incredible, you shared your food and culture and your music!!
All my best,
Matt

The laughs, the cocktails, the games, the conversations, the memories, the never ending swollen smiles (and swollen legs and hands and fingers!)
Captain and Crew were the most amazing, most gracious hosts, Captains, First Mates, dive Instructors, organizers, chefs, mixologists, D.J.’s, housekeepers, doctors, party planners, BUT most especially…everything they did…they did with their hearts and with compassion and a Special SPIRIT we will never forget!
We love u Charly!
Nancy M. x 7

This morning we are ending a seven day experience with our 2 sons, age 20 and 17, with Charly and Crew as our exceptional hosts. This is our first trip to BVI. What an amazing journey! Each Island was uniquely beautiful. Charlie and Crew knew all the best places to visit. I think our entire family loved Anegada the most, probably because was so different from the others.
We have been completely spoiled with amazing food and excellent service. We enjoyed hearing stories about their travels and learning about the Islands.
This maybe the last trip we take with just the four of us, but I hope to return one day to build on the wonderful memories created during this trip.
Rob & Ellison O.

One of the great joys in life is meeting people from different parts of the world living different lives from your own – it’s on of the things that attracted us to sign on for a trip with Charly and Carolina. Your knowledge and experience was on full display and we enjoyed both sharing an appreciation for the beauty of the BVIs and the lovely conversations. While we were disappointed that Carolina could not make the trip, her baking was on full display, and we really enjoyed getting to talk to her and Valentine over dinner one night at Laverick Bay. Another crew member was an outstanding addition to your team and really added a lot to the snorkeling and diving while on the trip. We enjoyed learning about his travels and experiences throughout the world!
Thanks for a wonderful journey though the BVIs, it has been a trip of a lifetime with many fond memories for our family!
Chow! And hope to see you soon!
Brian

Thank you so much for hosting our family on this fantastic journey! We appreciate your thoughtful hospitality from our welcome dinner to farewell breakfast. We will always remember how special our anniversary BBQ was and all of the delicious meals and desserts. Charlie has been so patient to listen to all of our requests and has been so fun being our adventure guide. Thank you again for helping us make lasting family memories!
Sincerely,
Kelly

Thank you so much for everything! This will be a trip I will never forget! The food was amazing. Thank you so much for all the La Croixs. I loved getting to try new flavors! Thank you so much for all the laughs and memories made on this trip! I’ll always remember this. Thank you for everything!

I also loved going to The Baths. The beautiful table and food at the Christmas dinner. All the food was very delicious.
Until soon, Jack O.

The splendour and beauty of the BVI was perfectly matched with the kindness, expertise and friendship of Captain Charlie and Carolina. From the time we boarded VISION to the time we departed we were treated like royalty! Captain Charlie and Carolina knowledge of the BVI was superb and made our trip a grand experience. From Anegada to Norman Island, From Virgin Gorda to Peter Island the scenery was breathtaking. The combination of our crew encompassed as Captain, Chef, Mechanic and Rock Band! We had a fabulous HONEYMOON; Theresa and I are very fortunate. We hope to use the information and skills we learned to return in the future and sail, once more, with Charlie and Carolina. May the wind always be at your back. Thank you, love you guys!
John W.

You made great choices of overnight calm anchorages and suggestions of Restaurants for us with a Half Board system! We will definitely recommend to others. Val, keep up the good work!
Hope your monohull gets together and floating soon! If ever traveling to Oregon, let us know! Definitely have room and is a great place to visit the outdoors!
We hope the rest of your Season is as good as the start of the Season. Hope we weren't too troublesome, just troublesome enough.
Don and Nancy S.
PS: Val will make a great Captain some day, great mentors in Caro and Charlie.

Thanks for the wonderful sailing experience, fine food and drinks. It was a pleasure to meet Valentin, he is a true joy. Bright and helpful in many ways, he has learned very well from both Captain Charlie and Carolina. You should be very proud. See you next summer in Arizona.
John and Bev R.

Thank you Charlie and Carolina for an amazing adventure and guided tour around the BVI!

Thank you so very much for a fantastic week on Vision. Snorkelling, sailing, eating, drinking, singing, sunbathing...and then there was the laughter and peace! Wishing you all the very best in life and health. If you ever make it to Scotland again, you are very welcome! With love and best wishes...Amanda and Andreas N.

Kids: I really had a fun week and thank you Carolina for the beautiful Sea Urchin. Thank you for showing me things I will never forget.

Valentin, my email is xxxx so we can chat! and my Instagram is xxxx for when you get. I enjoyed so much you company and for helping me to feel secure in the ocean. Snorkeling was amazing. From Fern and Willow N

.

Day 1 to Day 8 was top of the line hospitality, guidance, relaxation and fun!! Love the excellent food, drinks and experiences! Snorkeling so see the beautiful coral and fish was amazing (even with all the jellies!). We loved sharing a short tour with Bob and learning about Biras Creek of the past. We would highly recommend Vision to anyone that wants and experience of a lifetime!

Thank you for providing an experience of a lifetime! Your personal touches of cooking our meals and sharing your special recipes made our trip personal and unique. All your suggestions for shopping, meals out and beaches were spot on. We love getting to know you on a more personal basis and sharing some time with your sweet son. Val made it even more personal and family oriented.
Our families would recommend this charter to anyone! Truly a first class vacation!

Broker comment:

I was able to tell my clients that we've had 11 bookings with Vision that averaged 4.5 out of 5 stars, and with Charly & Carolina as crew, the reviews are a consistent 5 stars. What an incredible record!

Charlie and Carolina,
What an incredible experience for our families! Thank you for making our first Charter Adventure so special! We created an abundance of memories with you! Thank you! Nate and Mara R.

Thank you for a wonderful time. You made my family and our friends feel very welcome. You were great hosts and very kind and considerate to all our needs. I will never forget you! James B.

Kids: Thank you for the wonderful food and desserts and experience, it was so fun to jump off the front of the boat and visit so many places. Scuba with Elaine was really really fun! Thanks for suggesting so many new experiences and fun. We love movie night outside with the projector and big screen! And popcorn! My day was so happy helping to fish at night with us! I hope you will be able to visit us in Ann Arbor.

Thank you guys so much for an amazing great trip. Your family is truly fantastic. Your job may be a lot of work dealing with guests while keeping the boat in tip top shape but I can tell you enjoy doing so and this makes it worth it! Thank you again for the lovely time this week. Tommy C.

Charlie, Carolina and Val,
Thank you ALL! We enjoyed a relaxing time with you on Vision. Great food, fun and easy sailing. Thank you for making our Island lockdown exciting in July 2020!

Dear Charlie and Carolina
Thank you for a wonderful experience. Coronavirus did not stop our group from having fun!
Your home on the sea was so much fun, the food delicious, the Titos Tings perfect! Cake for breakfast and a huge Party on the last night! We wish you health and happiness!
Christy W.

I had so much fun. My favourite place was the National Park in St. John and I loved the Liza's huge Birthday Party. Cake for breakfast PLUS PLUS. I saw a Turtle, a Dolphin, Sting Ray, Angel Fish and lots of Hermit Crabs!
This was the best, with love,
Greyson W.

I thank you so much for the time we spent with you this week. Even with the Coronavirus going around. I still had a lot of fun snorkeling and hiking with you guys. And napping on the boat!
Yours truly,
Andy W. (the philosopher)

Thank you for the amazing trip and all the memories with these 3 tandem boats of good friends. Cooper W.

We had an amazing time! The boat was super well kept, the crew was amazing, not only warm and professional but always worried to make sure we were going to the best places we could with the time we had and the fact that T had her green card right before our trip made things much better as we could sail in the BVI and go to amazing places.

The food was great and they were always making sure that everyone was eating something they liked, even if that meant cooking different options.

We had a great time with Charlie singing together with our daughters M and C always warm and helpful with the girls, especially when T was feeling nauseous as we had a storm and a few strong showers and winds!!

Thank you so, so much for taking care of everything for us and for your advice and negotiations!

We are already dreaming about our next charter!! 😉

To our new and dear friends Charlie, Carolina and Valentin,
THE OLDER ONE GETS THE MORE ONE REALIZE THAT TRAVEL IS MORE THAN TICKING DESTINATION OFF YOUR BUCKET LIST. TRAVEL IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU MEET WHILE EXPLORING NEW PARTS OF THE WORLD. WHAT MADE A WEEK ABOARD "VISION"SPECIAL WASN'T JUST THE STUNNING SCENERY, WATCHING OUR KIDS TO SNORKEL FOR FIRST TIME, GREAT FOOD, ETC. ...IT WAS THE THREE GREAT SOULS WE GOT TO SHARE THAT EXPERIENCE WITH. THANK YOU!! KEITH l.

To be at sea is to reconnect with the soul.
To be at sea with the ones you love is to give the soul wings and flight.
Thank you for an exceptional time together, for your warmth, open hearts, incredible generosity and hospitality, laughter and friendship...
THIS HAS BEEN A TRIP OF A LIFETIME! Emiley L

From the little kids:

Christopher: Hey! Christopher speaking! I had the BEST time ever on VISION; I loved jumping off the boat and then going under the boat. Thank you for your hospitality. Thanks so much!

Kellan: Thanks a lot for this wonderful vacation! I learned how to snorkel, went into the water about 55 TIMES!!!!And had a great time. For Carolina and Captain Charlie and Val thank you so much and good luck with your future voyages!!!

Dennis,
Thank you very much for all that you did to create the perfect sailing getaway for my family over the New Year’s holiday. This is the second charter we have done with you, and my husband and I, and our two school-aged boys, could not imagine a more perfect vacation. You have a magic ability to know who would be the right charter for us, and your deep knowledge of the industry and the boats/crews available helped us enjoy the most wonderful, relaxing, fun, and perfect vacation we have ever experienced together as a family. Your professionalism and thoughtful follow up only added to the very positive experience. Our time on catamaran Vision with Capt. Charlie, Carolina and Valentin exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and well-outfitted boat, delicious food and drink, and incredible comradery set on the warm turquoise sea with jaw-dropping views, swimming and snorkeling, and stunningly private anchorages. We really wanted the feeling of being completely free and away from it all, yet with luxury amenities; you made that dream come true. I hope that we may have the opportunity to book with you again.
Warmest regards,

The Lockhart Family
Massachusetts
