Our expectations preparing for the trip were extremely high. Without ? question, those expectation were exceeded in every manner. The vessel was spacious and comfortable, food was abundant and delicious, nightly anchorages were interesting and offered great opportunities for snorkeling and swimming in virtually crystal clear waters. We used and enjoyed all the water
toys onboard. We collected king conch and Emma made delicious conch fritters and conch ceviche. Mitch and Emma are the perfect crew for the Soulmates. Both are delightful people and
expert in what they do.
They had a suggested itinerary, explained it fully, and were willing to make adjustments to it if necessary. We are not an easy group to feed as a group of eight including kids with various taste
preferences, peanut and gluten allergies, etc.. Emma mastered the task completely! Every day offered a new adventure. We swam with pigs, played with the nurse sharks at Compass Key,
saw the iguanas, snorkeled Pablo Escavar's sunken plane wreck. One night in Staniel Key, we all went out for dinner at the restaurant at the Yacht Club. It too was a treat! The best gathering
spot on the Soulmates is the upper deck, the views are great, the breezes are exhilarating, My grandkids on most nights elected to sleep on the comfortable cushions on deck under the stars.
We indeed got lucky with near perfect weather. The Exumas are just amazing and interesting as it offers so much without venturing out in open ocean which insured calm seas. We collectively had a world class family vacation that we will never forget. Please let the owner of the Soulmate know what a tremendous asset his new crew is. They are literally the best !!!

Emma and Mitch,
Thank you for a magical week in the BVI. You shared an amazing experience with our family. The beauty, the laughter, just the sheer joy of enjoying life – building memories. We loved the
hikes, snorkeling, amazing food and cocktails and friendship. We got to meet many animal friends along the trip – Billy, Crush (sea turtles), our bird friend with the pierced bill and the cigarette smoking tarpon. AMAZING ADVENTURE! YOU BOTH IMPROVED OUR LIVES!
