As a child, he was involved in a wide range of activities, from baseball, basketball, and track and field, to fishing, spearfishing, and performing lead roles in local plays and choir groups.

Broker Feedback:

I wanted to pass along some feedback from my client following their recent charter aboard M/Y Margate. Overall, they rated the entire experience an A+.

Some highlights:

• The yacht was in excellent condition—very clean, everything was fully operational, and they experienced no issues at all.

• Captain Shane received exceptional feedback. The client described him as friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, and, most importantly, someone who made them feel completely safe throughout the charter.

• Chef Mandy was outstanding. Every meal was excellent, and they genuinely couldn't fault the food. Their only joke was that next time they need to wear elastic waistband pants because there was simply too much incredible food!

• Stephanie was warm, attentive, and always available whenever they needed anything.

• Erin also received great praise. He did an excellent job introducing them to the water toys, tender, and jet skis, always ensuring everything was done safely. The client said it felt like staying at a luxury hotel—whenever they needed something, someone was always there to help.

• They also appreciated that the crew struck the perfect balance between being attentive and giving them plenty of privacy to enjoy their vacation.

They had fantastic weather throughout the trip and made great use of the jet skis. One of their favourite days was spending Saturday on a beautiful private beach.

The crew also went above and beyond by decorating the yacht for the birthday celebration and presenting a beautiful cake and champagne, which made the occasion extra special.

Regarding the itinerary, this was their first time in the Exumas. They found it worked out perfectly, as they realised they preferred spending more time enjoying each destination rather than cruising long distances every day.

The only feedback they had for a future charter was that they would book an extra day or two. Since they departed the marina around noon on Thursday, the initial run to the Exumas took approximately 6–7 hours, meaning a portion of the trip was spent underway. With a slightly longer charter, they felt they would have had even more time to enjoy the destinations. I pushed them to charter for longer but unfortunately could not do it this time.

Overall, it was an outstanding charter, and the client couldn't speak more highly of the yacht and the crew. Thank you and the crew for all the hard work.
