September 2022 in the Grenadines

It was just as we had hoped.
The boat is so well equipped and we made use of all the sea toys on offer. We spent a lot of time in the water!!
The route and venues meant that we saw and stayed at some beautiful places - so we have some stunning pics to share with family and friends.
Alex ensured that we got our snorkelling done in some good spots and that we did just right amount of sailing each day on our route.
Carla prepared us fulsome breakfasts which set us up for the day and lovely varied dinners which we were ashamed not to finish sometimes, such were the generous portions.
Gui, the deck hand, was very attentive and kept us plied with drinks and the crew conjured up some great cocktails.
All in all, we had a memorable time; it was just a shame that our eighth passenger was not able to be part of it due to his ill health.

We would all do this again!! Perhaps the BVI’s or somewhere new to us next time….

Alex has taken us to locations, that other boats have not been able to get to, his gentle mannerisms, cruising us around the islands, has made the trip so relaxing. Our chef Carla has cooked us food everyday like no other meals we have ever eaten at any restaurant, each meal has just got better and better, can’t believe the meals she made all perfectly timed for us to all eat together and taste so amazing. Beatrice such a lovely host, so accommodating, friendly and gorgeous person always looking after everyone’s needs individually. “Michlle you want Chardonnay??” So cute.

We have had the most fabulous trip with Alex as our Captain, Carla as our gourmet chef and Bea as our incredible bar tender, waitress and housekeeper extraordinaire! Everything has been over the TOP! Excellent! We have been treated to the most beautiful, scenic spots in the BVI by Alex who knows every highlight in the islands. We cannot describe how fabulous each meal prepared by Carla, has been! Better than any first class restaurants we have been to for dinner! Five Star! Bea is the Island Bartender beyond our dreams! Tropical treats every day! She waited on us hand and foot and we never wanted for anything we could not get! Bea is always there!

Bucket List Trip

The cruise aboard Bagheera was absolutely wonderful. The boat is super well maintained and we love the contemporary feel in it’s appointments. Alex, Karla, and Bea are so professional and organized. Karla’s meals should be featured on a cooking show ! Alex sailed us everywhere with such ease and efficiency. Bea was amazingly attentive to everyone’s needs. We saw and did more then we anticipated; stopped in at all the famous watering holes, looked for buried treasure, and enjoyed the stunning views of the BVI.
It was certainly a “bucket list trip” . Thank you so much for all you did for us !! Len & M'Recia

January 2022 BVI charter

“Meals – WOW!!! Carla was an amazing cook. She also remembered Jo Ann’s aversions (any meat but pork, runny eggs, etc.) and sometimes had something different for her or made sure there were substantial sides if we had something like chicken or beef. We ate like kings and queens. B (Beatrice? We were told to call her B so not sure of her full name) was awesome as first mate and server. Super nice, always trying to make sure we had what we wanted. I think we only ate one or two meals off the yacht. Other than that we had three amazing meals every day. And I have an extra 5lb to prove it, which I rarely gain on regular cruises.

I know they couldn’t get everything we requested as far as alcohol, but they had great options and took care of us.

The yacht was beautiful and Alex (and Carla and B) were constantly cleaning and making sure it was clean and in great shape. Sometimes on boats things get a little moldy or whatever but I never saw that. They did have rules they wanted us to follow about where we could sit when we were wet and where was off limits, so I’m sure that helps keep it nicer. And no red wine inside – great rule on their part! They had lots of fun toys, but we mostly lazed around and floated. They got one of those power surfboards the day we left, so more fun toys. Alex was great about explaining how to use them, getting it set up, cleaning it up. It was a lot of work for him! The first day he taught us how to use the nemo thing he told us we couldn’t drink before, which was understandable. B cleaned our rooms once a day and made the beds etc.

Crew – amazing! Super friendly and helpful. Alex was super knowledgeable about the islands and who lived where and would explain it all to us as we cruised around. It was kind of weird being in such close quarters for that long with people we really didn’t know but by the end of the week we had fallen into our routine and were comfortable talking/not talking, whatever. I think that feeling was on our end because this was new for us and we weren’t sure how much to say hi when we walked by them if they were working, etc.

The BVI was beautiful, but we were surprised how uncrowded pretty much everything was except for Jost Van Dyke. I asked if that was covid and Alex said it was the hurricane in 2017 and then covid. Everything is still recovering. We did find a couple fun places to dance and party where there were other people, but it was a pretty chill trip (except for Willy T Sunday night escapade lol). I wasn’t too impressed with the snorkeling but maybe that’s because I’m used to diving in areas better known for diving. The rest of the group seemed to really enjoy the snorkeling. I think if we went again I would probably line up diving and also find some more resorts that had some nightlife if we could.

Expectations? That’s so hard because none of us really knew what to expect. We loved the laziness of the days and the ease of having everything right at our fingertips for food and drink. They had a lot of great toys and the crew, again, was fantastic. I personally missed more action like nightlife, but that’s probably because my expectations weren’t realistic and had nothing to do with the boat/crew. If I did it again I would pack even less than I did for sure. We bought quite a few t-shirts and outside of swimsuits that’s basically what I wore every night.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the Bagheera and its crew. Fair Winds,

What an incredible voyage /trip/vacation ….this has been the first of its kind for me ! I will always cherish the unbelievable memories we made on this trip. I tried so many new experiences … wakeboarding, tubing etc. I also. Explored a new geography and come to better understand the diverse ways people live on this lovely planet – a refreshing perspective. I am determined to visit all Caribbean Island before I die and if there is an opportunity to do so with Carla and Alex. The team is absolutely brilliant and I couldn’t have more positive things to say about this trip. Huge shoutout to our team of elite navy seals.

New Year Charter 2020 -2021

To Bagheera crew and friends, words cannot even describe how much we enjoyed this trip! But here is my best attempt to summaries the amazing times we shared….
This is a week we look forward to all year long. With all the craziness of this year, we needed this trip more than ever. Your warm smiles and endearing spirits made this the absolute best one yet!
We are no strangers to sailing but after hearing my parents sing your praises all these years, I honestly didn’t believe there was anyway you could possibly live up to it. I was incredibly wrong! You exceeded every expectation. Everything was perfect from the food, weather, conversation. Thank you for allowing us to be your first charter of the season. We hope you enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed yours.

Captain Alex:
Thank you for an amazing trip. Your willingness to accommodate all our needs… knowledge of sailing is unmatched
Carla,
Thank you so much for yar wonderful food. Although my wardrobe will definitely fit a little snug when I get back. Your culinary expertise, sweet humor are something I’ll always remember. Everything was Very nice.

February 2018

We had a fabulous vacation aboard Bagheera. Our entire family of 8 agreed it was our best vacation ever! We loved the casualness of just getting up in the morning, putting on our swimsuits, or bathrobes, having breakfast and starting the day. Carla, Alex and Angus were tremendously accommodating and great hosts. We never wanted for anything. We did a good amount of sailing, which we all loved. Many times we would sit up top while Alex was driving and he would tell us the history about the areas we were passing. He was so knowledgeable. We left the itinerary in Alex’s hands, and we could not have been more pleased with all of the beautiful areas he took us to. Beautiful private beaches, great snorkeling, Fun bars, etc. It could not have been better.

We actually had a hard time leaving the Bagheera each time as it was so comfortable and indeed a home away from home. Carla made sure our beds were made, bathrooms cleaned, as well as serving 3 delicious meals a day with snacks! We really don’t know how she did it. Angus the first mate was a delight! He was so impressive for a 19 year old! We loved hearing his stories. He actually joined us on some of our snorkeling adventures. We wanted to take him home with us. Our vacation aboard the Bagheera not only met our expectations, it far exceeded them. Thank you for your help in coordinating this trip! We couldn’t be happier!

February 2016

Mac and I wanted to send you a quick note thanking you again for a fabulous week touring the BVIs with you and your awesome crew. It was the vacation of a lifetime and one we will always treasure. I am a veteran cruiser and was very apprehensive about a catamaran trip, but it was PERFECTION! Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the adventure and that we are looking forward to going again sooner than later.

Captain Alex, you made everyone feel at home from the moment we stepped onboard. Your knowledge and expertise in your job was apparent in every aspect of our trip. Your gentle smile put each one of us at ease and made sure that we were having fun. Your ability to share information, both fun and historical, made island hopping so much fun. It was fascinating that we always found a front row spot, no matter where we went. You made certain that we were comfortable and were entertained, both on and off the boat. You encouraged us to stretch our comfort levels and enjoy the amenities and that was a stretch for me. I will never forget being pulled at slow speed (your words) round and round the cove and later flying up in the sky on the rope swing. Wow! So much fun! And, you make a mean painkiller!

Carla, you are an amazing talent! Not only are you lovely, but you are extraordinary in the galley. Our meals and wine choices were delicious and the food presentation was incredible. Your attention to every detail - whether it was our food allergies or just our own personal preferences was so appreciated. You made each meal and cocktail hour- an event that we looked forward to each day. You know how much we loved your cookies and your willingness to share your scrumptious recipes was so kind.

Best wishes and we look forward to seeing you again. Until then..

With love,
Susan and Mac

Mid June 2015

As much as we loved our first trip to the BVI, this was by far several levels above that, we could not have made a better choice than Alex and Carla.
Absolutely the best crew in the BVI, Carlas meals were amazing and Alex is just a crazy SOB, perfect for our group. The thing that was evident from the start is how attentive they both are to making sure you have a great time, which we did in spades.
We loved their approach to making our trip memorable, the itinerary was perfect, spent days at beautiful beaches and then Alex would run the girls to shore for shopping expeditions then come back and entertain the boys with watersports or fishing. They worked their butts off, constantly making us cocktails and spoiling us.
Avalon was very well maintained and we had no problems whatsoever, as we sailed to different locations; Alex provided commentary on the islands and points of interest, hes awesome.
They both made us feel like family, and I know I came away with a deeper respect for how much work is involved in taking care of 8 guests for a week. If you cant tell by now, we had an amazing trip with these two and only way I would come back is with Alex and Carla.
I very much appreciate all you did to simplify the process. Hope to see yall again in the near future. Thanks again for a great trip.
Cheers;

April, 2015

Thanks for your help in setting up this trip. I really cant recommend Alex & Carla enough. Here is a brief review:
Our family, including 2 grandparents and 2 grandchildren ages 7 and 9, enjoyed a week with this great crew in April 2015. If you are considering booking, dont hesitate. The yacht, the crew, the dining, and the itinerary were all top notch.

Alex and Carla are an outstanding crew. They catered to our every need, and they can be very interactive or they can give you more privacy depending on the style of service you prefer. They designed the perfect itinerary based on what we wanted to experience in the BVI. Alex is an experienced sailor, and he knows just about everything there is to know about every island in the BVI. Hes great with kids, and he helped us play a hilarious April Fools day prank on our boys. Alex also makes the best Pina Coladas ever, so dont miss out on that.
Carla is an amazing chef, and she really went above and beyond catering to a group containing several picky eaters. My parents are gluten free and dairy free, and my children extremely picky about what they eat. To make things more complicated, my wife and I are adventuresome eaters. Somehow Carla managed to make everyone happy, which would normally require going to 3 different restaurants. And the meals were exceptional including artistic presentation and delicious deserts. Carla also made awesome snacks, which were perfect after a swim, snorkel, hike, or paddle.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a cruise in the BVI or anywhere else Alex and Carla will take you.
Thanks,
Al

July 2014

We had such a terrific time. They are amazing hosts. Carla is a fantastic cook and really went out of her way to make certain she was cooking food we all would enjoy. Alex is a great host and certainly knew when to hit each spot when the crowds were about to disperse. He really knows his stuff!
We can't say enough about the quality of the trip and the attention to detail. We have so many wonderful memories and photos too. I think Alex is going to use some of the shots for their facebook page. Our kids caught two big fish one day and we managed to capture the haul on camera!! That shot alone is enough to entice any family with young children.
We'd love to do another trip with them on the Avalon.

Warmly (and with sun tan lines galore)-

More than ever imagined

Dear Alex and Carla,

Well, weve been home for a week and were still riding high on our happiness from that fabulous with you guys. Thank you, thank you for that you did to make that very special week more than we ever could have hope for or imagined. Believe me, our expectations were high (and I was a little worried about that going in) but you made it so that it surpassed anything we dreamed of. We will treasure the memories forever and be ever grateful that we were fortunate enough to spend the time with you.

Thank you so very much.

Fondly,

Terri & Larry

February 2015

Thank you for an incredible week of sailing the BVIs! Your knowledge, passion, talents and attention to every detail made this adventure an experience of a lifetime! We will forever cherish our Caribbean memories with you ... Sunsets, painkillers, freshly ground nutmeg, snorkeling, fishing, dinghy rides, the gorgeous beaches you helped us smoothly navigate and discover, paddle-boarding, kayaking, tubing, relaxing on the 'starship painkiller'! The cards, the disco lighting, the perfectly executed romantic celebration and or course, very wonderful Carla-creation ... It was all so magical!

All our love and appreciation,

Carolyn, Steve, Sarah, Dan, Mike, Amy, Ed & Courtney
