Excellent.

Robbie is a dedicated, experienced and well education captain. Not only did he ensure our safety, he ensured we had fun! He was an excellent teacher of all things water sports, giving detailed lessons on how to best snorkel and use the efoils/sea bobs. His demonstrations were key to our success! We always found fun things to do on and about the yacht. Robbie is a natural leader. He is respected by the crew and in turn is respectful to the crew. Robbie has the keen ability to anticipate our needs. He is extremely knowledgeable the vessel and of the British Virgin Islands. He was our private guide of the seas - Thank you Robbie!

Robbie, Sofie, and Kristin's attention to detail and elite level of service created a once in a lifetime leisure experience for our group. From the champagne welcome, through the guided yacht tour, to the most ideal itinerary, they far exceeded our expectations. Every day was met with great enthusiasm. They are a well-connected team who work together seamlessly.

C'est la Vie feels spacious, yet private - best of both worlds. One of the reasons we selected this yacht was the various group seating/lounging spaces. Our group of 6 enjoyed dining together in both the main deck dining area, and also the roof top area. The roof top area was ideal for happy hour/sunsets and to indulge in the surprise drink of the day created for us by the crew. We also enjoyed laying on the large couch/lounge (upper) area while motoring between islands. We dined in several spots together on the yacht. The list goes on and on. The front deck was used as a spectacular dance floor! The electronics/speakers were perfect for playing our favorite playlists - and we also enjoyed the playlists created by the crew - well done! The yacht offers numerous areas for sun lovers and also for the shade lovers. The living room/inside main cabin is well appointed, and large enough for our group of 6. After one soggy rain day, we hosted movie night in this space utilizing the large screen television that drops down from the ceiling. When the day was done we all enjoyed a bit of quiet and privacy in our queen cabins, with attached baths. Everything on this yacht was pristine and in good working order. It was apparent that the crew treated this vessel with much care and a white glove.

Our experienced crew did all the planning to ensure the most ideal stops possible. We provided a few preferred destinations pre-trip, and the crew enhanced based on their experience/knowledge, our preferences/likes and of course weather/winds, etc. Each morning after breakfast we attended "Storytime with Robbie" as our captain walked us through our plan for the day, while using a map to show us where we'd been and where we were going. Every day was a welcomed surprise! Our group felt like excited children again, coming out to see what Santa left Christmas morning - much talk and lively speculation each evening about potential destinations next day. In a life full of meetings, timelines, and structure we fully appreciated these moments of whimsy and surprise! Our itinerary included various activity based stops such as the Baths where Captain Robbie gave us a guided tour and also pointed out the best photo stops. We also had meal/shopping stops. Reservations were made for us as needed - never having to wait for a table. (we elected to have a few meals ashore) Some stops were at leisure, beach bar-hopping style. Robbie always giving us an overview of bars/stops on the island, based on our preferences. It was a perfect blend of planned and spontaneous days! For the sea turtle lovers and scuba learners in our group, special stops were selected to dive and also see marine life. Spectacular! This crew is committed to giving a personalized and unique experience.

Another main reason we selected this yacht was the multitude of water activities on board. Our group of 6 had different levels of activity comforts. Some of the easier options included snorkel, paddle board or simply having cocktails on the floating dock - use of the giant bean bags for lounging waterside. Others preferred the next-level power sea-bob, or the efoils experience. Some guests also enjoyed Scuba, and 2 guests became certified during the trip. Having a crew of 3, and crew being scuba certified, helped tremendously for a group this large. During scuba lessons, the remaining guests had full service on the yacht.

Sofie is delightful while also being a masterful and creative chef, working in small quarters. Pure magic happens below deck! To our delight her galley has a little window through which we would call to her while we swam about - making sure she didn't work too hard. So much fun!! It is immediately evident that she truly loves people and loves to cook and care for others. All of our special requests were met and exceeded based on our pre-trip preferences. Sofie personally walked through my food restrictions (required due to a health condition) during the pre-trip call to ensure she fully understood, as my list is unfortunately long. My main request was to not deprive the other guest of these foods, only my plate. Sofie delivered successfully the entire week. If you have restrictions, you'll know how reassuring it is to sit down to a plate made by someone else and know that it safe to eat. I cannot thank Sofie enough for her attention to detail in this matter as it truly can be a day-ender for me if not addressed properly. We especially enjoyed Sofie's constant smile and warm disposition. Her meals are a culinary delight, prepared especially for us from behind the magical mirrored galley door. We had a lot of fun guessing what the next meal might be and made a game of not "peeking" into the galley to survey the area for clues. One of our favorite activities was the big reveal each meal. The plates being delivered to the table, and Sofie explaining in delicious detail what we were preparing to eat. Cheering and clapping always ensued!! We also enjoyed perfectly paired evening appetizers with a unique drinks of the day during the roof-top happy hour. Special call out to the pre-planned 50th birthday dinner party for one of our charter guests. Special meal made, special decorations, a golden crown for him adorned at dinner, twinkle lights, and a dance party on the front deck after! Not to mention instead of a dinner party only, the crew modified the itinerary to give him an entire (surprise) day of it, waking up at his favorite island! Above and beyond always!

This trip exceeded our expectations!
