Kyle and Tilly,
Thank you, we could not have asked for a more beautiful week! It was such a joy sailing with you. Everything was perfect from the boat and amenities, the amazing meals and presentations, desserts, table decor, amd wine pairings, the boat drinks, and cocktails. Every suggestion you made from coves to stay in at night, hikes, excursions to Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock, Soggy Dollar was incredibly fun. We are also thankful for you helping us gather with our friends onboard another boat! You also made our diving experience amazing!
We especially enjoyed you! You are an amazing crew, team and couple. Playing cards, star gazing with music and getting to know you is a special memory. We wish you joy and the best for the future.
With many thanks,
Megan, Rick, Elias, Alaina

Comment: Kyle and Tilly went above and beyond to make this a fun vacation. The food was excellent, and Tilly was an amazing chef. I have celiac disease, and she was very careful to make sure I had a gluten free meal every time. I never felt like everyone else was getting the good food, and I wasn't. The boat was SUPER clean,
and they kept it that way all week. Thanks guys for a wonderful week!

Comment: Kyle and Tilly were ever so accommodating, fun and pleasant to be around. They met our every request and did much for us that we did not ask for. Would love to sail with them again. They were delightful and worked so well together. I've been on several sailing trips and they rate right there at the top of any captain and mate we've had.

Comment: What a great trip!! My first catamaran and adventure with TRADEWINDS. It exceeded my expectations. The sights were amazing but the crew made it an outstanding week! So thankful we had Kyle,
Tilly and Johann taking care of us for the week. A great team that clearly loves sharing their home, Sweet Pea, and passion for all sights and experiences the BVI’s have to offer. The service, food and cocktails were exceptional! Could not have asked for anything better!! Thank you for a week I will never forget and will always appreciate!!

Aboard Sweet Pea on the 11 Mar 2023 in BVI with Kyle and Tilly.
Comment: Our crew was outstanding! Captain Kyle and First Mate Tilly make an amazing team and should be a model for Tradewinds. TW should do everything they can to keep such a wonderful couple happy and prospering in their careers. Kyle is such a skillful captain, keeps the boat in the very best shape that he can.. Kyle and Tilly take such pride in keeping the TW boat in as tip top shape as they possibly can themselves. It is clean, organized and neat and the whole crew pitches in to keep it that way. Tilly’s skills in delivering delicious and beautifully presented food is top notch! She and Kyle are skilled in both their professional duties and in delivering outstanding customer experiences. Could not ask for a better crew!

Comment: First time with Tradewinds and the entire trip was perfect. We were guests of the owner of S/Y Sweet Pea, and had a wonderful time with our group. I can’t say enough nice things about the crew Tilly and Kyle. Both of them exceeded our expectations at every turn. You can tell they genuinely love what they are doing. Only problem was that I gained weight because of the great food Tilly made us. So good!

Jake and Caitlin made us feel like all our wishes came true. We were always at a perfectly fascinating spot at the right time. Our days were amazingly planned out, they felt long and satisfying. We did so much and yet feel like it was a super relaxing vacation. Every day was a surprise. Jake is a great captain and knows the BVIs really well, we always felt safe.
Caitlin's cuisine was so wonderful, every meal was prepared with meticulous care, the flavors were amazing, the presentation spectacular. On top of that they were well balanced nutritionally. They were served without asking, at the perfect time between activities.
While providing a wonderful service, it felt like they were invisible angels taking care of us. We felt like we were at home and not guests on Adagio.
We pretty much surrendered all our decisions to their team, which made it the ultimate relaxation experience. We now know that it is the crew that makes the trip.
Thank you!

Jake and Cait - Thank you both so much for an amazing week! Its so difficult to find enough adjectives to describe all the beautiful things we saw and all the wonderful activities we did. But best of all was our exceptional crew! Cait, your menu was outstanding, and your attention to details in all areas was much appreciated. Jake, a professional captain through and through! You handled a boat-full of captains very well..LOL! And a special thank you for making Erin and my 60th birthday one we will never forget!

Thank you so much for making this week one we'll always remember. Adam and I loved seeing all the new BVI sites - Vanishing Rock, Carrot shoal, Devils Kitchen, and on and on... Caits food was amazing and always a treat at the end of a long day - or at its start - or in the middle! Restaurant quality from the tiny kitchen! The two of you are the salt of the earth!
Let us know when you come to Boston!
John
Thanks so much for the amazing diving, food, games, company and so much more. You both made this week truly special. I loved exploring all the new dive sites with you, Jake, and all the outrageously good food from you Caitlin! I would love to come back and spend another week with you both!

Dear Cait and Jake.
What an amazing week you planned for our family in the BVI’s! I can’t begin to explain how much fun and how special this time was for our family this week. The snorkeling spots, family dinners, trips to Willy T’s couldn’t have been better if we tried. The boys loved seeing puffer fish, sharks, tarpon (especially James lol)
Cait every meal the children would try and guess what you were preparing and every one was surprising and beyond delicious…”Cait‘s plates” is a fan favorite…the girls think they are your marketing team now lol!
The two of you are such a fantastic team! The company is so lucky to have you! We will hunt y’all down the next time we come to the BVI’s and would love to host you in South Carolina whenever you’re free. Thanks for being our crew and more importantly, becoming our friends.
All our love, Stephanie, Doug, Hayes, Anna, Grant, and James

WOW! We had the most Fantastic week on Adagio, from early dives to evening game sessions. Thank you Cait for the most amazing meals cooked fresh for us every day before and after each dive. Thank you Jake for being an excellent Dive-Master as well as showing us no mercy on the tube. Thank you both for made beds, clean spaces and your never ending accommodation, patience and hospitality. It has been a wonderful week of sharks, rays, turtles and trigger fish. We wish you the best on your future outings and we hope that one day our paths cross again on this boat or the next.
With love from,

Dear Cait and Jake,
So sad that you didn’t take us up on our offer to adopt you..perhaps you could adopt us? (you do have the boat) thank you so much for one of the most fascinating weeks of our entire lives. We shall forever remember Cait’s French toast and other fabulous meals and drinks throughout the trip. Jake, you found some wonderful stay over sights and we appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the area and sailing with us. We desperately hope to sail with you again! Fair winds and following seas to both of you!

Thank you both so much for an amazing trip! We enjoyed every second of it. We appreciate all the behind the scenes scenes work you guys do for us, from “surprise drinks” to exploring new scuba spots and many delicious meals, you guys went above and beyond our expectations. We admire your dedication to Adagio. We hope you enjoyed our time with us, as much as we enjoyed our time with you! Thank Y’all for spending our last night all together, we enjoyed all the laughs.

To our wonderful adagio crew,
Jake and Caitlin you made our four days on the water truly exceptional. Even with “rolly”seas, high winds, big swells, rain showers & sunshine..we wouldn’t have had it any other way! You are an absolutely great team. We loved experiencing the BVIs with you. Wishing you both the best, as you maneuver the seas!
All our love the Mankes family
