I want you both to know that I’m very grateful about your assistance , kindness and help
during the trip aboard Lola.
Judith you are an excellent chef, you didn’t repeat one food during seven days and it
was amazing and Hugo was the best captain we could have.
You both took care of me and my family at all times and this made our week on Lola
one of the best trips in my life.
I wish you both the best in the future. I’ll miss the beautiful days we spent together n
BVI.
Thanks a lot. Kisses

Judith & Hugo,
Thank you both for making this the most incredible week. You truly exceeded all expectations. The itinerary was perfect - such a great variety of activities and the flexibility to change things up as we went - for instance, "Hugo, we can't get to Ivan's, please come help us!" (Ha). Your hospitality and PATIENCE with us was most appreciated.
Judith - the meals were spectacular! The presentation and variety - always something to look forward to. The attention to every detail didn't go unnoticed.
Above all - we truly enjoyed your company. You two are quite the duo! Thank you again for taking the best care of us!

Judith & Hugo,
Thank you both for such an incredible adventure! This has truly been the trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget! Hugo, thank you for planning such a wonderful itinerary for us and keeping the whole crew safe and having a blast! Dash may have asked to fish a dozen times while Hunter was asking for the sea scooters at the same time and you never lost your mind! Judith, your cooking was incredible and better than any restaurant on island - everything was fresh and beautifully prepared and thoughtful. Thank you for taking the time to make cookies with the kids, they will always remember that! The music and cocktails were always a hit and will be greatly missed! Please come to Seattle to visit soon!!

Judith & Hugo -
We have been overwhelmed with your hospitality this past week. J-Dog - the food as out of this world. So many unique flavors and presentations. We were amazed at how well you accommodated our gluten & dairy free granddaughter. And to also go out of your way to help us make our beach barbecue real - thank you!
Hugo - Thank you for the smooth sailing, how you 'cleaned up' after all of our spills with a smile, and making our happy hours 'happy' in so many ways with all your special drink concoctions. Thank you for making an effort to hunt for my lost sunglasses. That was above and beyond and I knew if you couldn't find them, nobody could. Thanks for taking the kids for their 'joy rides' and taking us out of your way to Sandy Spit. We created so many memories - not the least of which was our celebration dinner that you helped us arrange.
We are so grateful that we met you both and had your as our captain and chef. You are the best and we will always recommend you to friends who would like to take a BVI adventure! Take care and thanks for all your efforts. They made a difference.

Dear Judith & Hugo,
We are a group that has done a lot of boating, on our own boats and charters, and can say that this was an exceptionally great week on the water. The boat is terrific, but you two are the 'secret sauce'. You are so talented - individually and together and have such fun and friendly personalities. I can't believe you are so young! I felt perfectly confident in your abilities.
We loved your choice of activities and meals. We are sad to have the week end. We are counting on our paths crossing again!!
March 2024
Hugo & Judith,
Thank you for such a dreamy week aboard the Lola! Every single detail has been perfect. We appreciate your professionalism, your humor, your attention, and your willingness to join in all of our shenanigans! We have been so spoiled this week and are wondering how we can possibly go back to our landlocked lives. Thank you for everything!!
February 2024
Hugo & Judith,
More than a trip of a lifetime, the tailored experience and food will be unmatched without you.
Forever burned in our memories will be snorkeling, beautifully displayed tasty food, sunsets, night skies, fast storms, lounging rooftop hangouts and dance parties!
Thank you just isn't enough! You are much adored!
February 2024
Hugo and Judith - We cannot thank you two enough for your exceptional service this last week. You were friendly, engaging, professional and delightful. You were so attentive to our needs and always eager to offer whatever we needed or wanted. True professionals and truly wonderful people! We hope to sail away with you in the future!
January 2024
We can't thank you enough for a fabulous week! You were attentive to every detail and your youthful energy was a perfect fit for our family. The itinerary was ideal with each stop offering something special and breathtaking view. Hugo - your knowledge and experience always assured us that we were in the most capable of hands. Judith - your meals were beyond description, flavorful, varied, healthy and above all, delicious. Everything was a feast for our eyes and our bellies.
The boat (Lola) was wonderful, clean, comfortable and just the right amount of space for everyone. We loved sitting on the bow or upon the flybridge - especially while underway. We appreciated learning more about what we were seeing and hearing about your experiences.
We have traveled extensively, including previous catamaran charters in the BVI, and this has been a family favorite. You made everything easy thanks to your impeccable organization. We had so much fun and hope to travel with you again soon!

To Hugo
There was a young bloke from Suffolk
Who brought Christmas crackers like St. Nick
In every port and bay and bight
He would say, "Jalright"
No better sea captain could you pick
To Judith
There once was a woman from Holland
She didn't want to live on land
So she took to the sea
And she cooked duck confit
With her, no better time could be spent
To our wonderful Lola crew,
Thank you (times a million!) for an absolutely unforgettable adventure. The food was astounding, the sailing was delightful, the company was sweet. We are so grateful for all your hard work. Thank you for being part of our family.
Judith - thank you for making meals that could suit royalty, and accommodating our preferences. Hugo - thank you for putting together a WONDERFUL itinerary for this week.

Hugo & Judith
This trip was a blessing in so many ways. The adventure, sight, food and memories made were some of the highlights expected coming into this trip. You two were put in our paths for a reason. The love and passion that you showed with us was amazing. Tiffany and I are blessed in so many ways, but you two have enriched those blessings tenfold this week. We have shared so many laughs and laughed so hard we cried. You two are so much fun to be around. Our group has prayed for both of you our entire trips and we will continue to pray for you, your safety and that you will continue to share your love and passion with others.
Hugo, your knowledge of the boat, islands and local culture amazed us.
Judith, Your ability to prepare the most amazing meals in a short period of time in a small kitchen is truly inspirational.
The both of you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you both for sharing your love and passion with us.
Love, Jon + Tiffany

Ps. See you in Texas
Thank you for making this trip the best trip ever.
Hugo and Judith,
You have given us so many memories, we loved breakfast on the beach. The amazing stops/ports just when we thought we had a favorite stop, you surprised us. The water sports and snorkeling, the meals were amazing. Not having a worry in the world makes a vacation. Everything was taken care of. The ice coffees and cocktails to start the day and end it. Thank you for making this trip the best trip ever. Thank you for keeping our family safe. You’re the best you always have a place to stay in the States.

Having y’all hang out with us on and off the boat really make it a good time. This is our happy place and you both hold a place in our hearts and memories here.

Definitely 5 star meal.s You gave me some new ideas for dishes to make for Traci and our kids!
Oh yeah, can’t forget about the cocktail of the day, they were all amazing! And thank you both for playing five second rule with us. It was so much fun!! Sorry we had to beat you both at Tipsy’s on the ring game, hahaha!
We pray for gods blessing and favor for both of you in your future ventures.

Pure perfection!
Pure perfection! Everything was amazing! You even ordered up our request for nice weather and (almost) always smooth seas. This was the most unforgettable trip - the food you made was truly 5 star, but the presentation was equally stunning. Great captain! We felt truly cared for with your kind and knowledgeable personality. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you'd like to visit the Midwest and stay at our home. Sorry my cooking will not come close to yours. We would love to sail with you again soon.
Karen & Bruce
Thank you both for this wonderful experience.
The final day has arrived sadly! Thank you both for this wonderful experience. It is memorable for the things I(Greg) learned about sailing, for the beautiful places we visited, but mostly for the warmth & welcoming felt from you both. My only regret is the 5-6 pounds I gained not being able to turn down a morsel of the incredible cuisine offered. Thank you and smooth sailing through life!
-Greg & Sandy
Everything was perfect!
Thank you so much for your hospitality. Everything was perfect! If you are ever sailing up near Bedford, NC, we have a dock for you!
