DRUMBEAT 1 Yacht Charter Monohull

Amazing places!

It was such a special trip for us. Captain Jeff went above and beyond to accommodate all of us. His expertise and knowledge of sailing and the islands was amazing! We loved all the places he took us to. His kindness & generosity along with Violet’s was top notch!

Violet is a wonderful chef and an excellent first mate!

I was very happy and comfortable on board the Drumbeat. I think that there was at least 4 cabins and each had its own bathroom and shower. We had air conditioning at night in the cabins.

Loved all of this trip! Every day was a new adventure!

With snorkeling, hiking, sailing, scuba diving and cliff diving, what could be better?

Planning for 6 people that each have different food preferences can be difficult, but Chef Violet did great and cooked breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert for us every day. I was thankful to wake up every morning to fresh coffee. There was plenty of water, drinks, and boat drinks too.

I am so thankful for Captain Jeffrey Hurd, his spirited dog Pepper, and Cook/First Mate Violet! They made this a wonderful adventure on board the very beautiful sailboat, The Drumbeat, with many great memories for my family! The captain took us to many amazing destinations off the beaten path. In addition to sailing, every day was filled with activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, cliff diving, visiting the local bars, etc. There was an activity for everyone in my family to enjoy from age 11 up to senior!

Captain Jeff knows the great secluded snorkeling spots. He was experienced seamen and used caution when winds were above 15 knots. Captain Jeff took us to shore when we wanted to go, no questions. 5 stars.

1 st mate / cook was fantastic. She helped dock, more, anchor, wench the sheets, clean cabins, prepare fantastic appetizers and meals, etc. We couldn't ask for more.

The Drumbeat was very comfortable and well maintained. Any maintenance that was done was in the middle of the night like a well managed resort. 5 stars.

Itinerary was excellent. Captain Jeff knew all the great secluded snorkeling spots and took advantage of them when winds were above 15 knots. He had safety in mind.

There was plenty of snorkeling and dive equipment on board. There was also a wind surfer and kayak on board that we did not use.

5 star food and drinks.

We are discussing a repeat. My family really enjoyed this trip. It was fantastic.
