Chloe, Alex, Stefan & James —
From the moment we set sail from Nanny Cay to the Gatsby-themed celebration on our final night, you made every part of this journey exceptional. The BVI gave us stunning scenery, but nothing compared to the experience created by the Nalani and her crew. Every detail was thoughtful, every moment intentional — yet what stands out most is that we arrived to celebrate and left with new friends.
Whether it was the cool breezes on the flybridge, wandering sandy islands in search of the perfect drone shot, James’ unforgettable meals, or the victorious cries of “YESSS!” from the nightly liar’s dice champion, this trip hit every note — nearly as well as Alex’s legendary “Despacito” guitar rendition.
On behalf of all of us, thank you for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. The memories made on the Nalani will stay with us forever.

Thank you to the amazing Nalani crew, Stefan, Chloe, Alex & James for such a memorable stay.
You created a welcoming, safe and comfortable atmosphere for all ages, with everything from sunbathing and swimming (even for Ed, who can’t) to expeditions, water toys and movie night. We’ll especially miss James’ daily 3-course meals and the DRINKS, somehow always flowing — even on detox days.
Grateful for the hospitality and memories. To safe future voyages.

Dear Nalani –
Iris, Chloe, Val & Stefan –
This has been an absolute amazing journey. We could not have asked for a more professional, friendly, attentive and wonderful crew to lead us on this 10 day journey and celebration of our dear friend Laurentiu’s and his 60th birthday. I believe any other charter we venture to take in the years to come will always be compared to this one. – Thank you! And I do hope our paths will one day cross again.
Much love and appreciation

Dear Stefan, Chloë, Iris, and Val —
What an exceptionally fantastic journey that was! Thank you for the kindness and buoyant spirit you carried throughout our experience. It goes without saying that you are exceptional beings, and your drive to keep up with our every desire is unparalleled. Stefan, your guidance and knowledge of the sea was enticing; we felt like kids listening to a whimsical story involving pirates. Chloë, your gracefulness and warm generous spirit lit up any area you entered. Iris, your quick-wit, constancy, stoic demeanor and playful laugh will echo our thoughts when we reminisce about our time here — you are truly one of a kind. Val, your talent is unreal and if anyone asks us if we’ve ever seen magic, we’ll say “yes—her name is Valentina.” Thank you for making our journey a unique experience beyond sailing with us. You will all hold a special place in our hearts. The cat wasn’t bad either.
Much love & gratitude,

Hope to see you some day in Brazil. Cheers! Lucas and Nathalie Lenci

"Dear Crew,
This has been one of the best weeks of my life <3. The journey from Mallorca to Ibiza has been nothing but spectacular. Me and Karen appreciated every moment from when we got on board to the final moment of when we left. We are so grateful for the love and service we received on the trip. It made us feel like home. As days went by, the trip just got better and better. Really, it's nothing less than special. I even said that one of the nights here were as special as my wedding night!! :) From Ray the Chef to making us great food, to Iris taking care of all our needs, to Esther helping and making sure we got to our next destination in time. Plus, the El Captain - my friend and the person who made this dream a reality, I cannot say thank you enough. Carlos, you have been amazing and nothing short but amazing!! :) Making sure the crew is on the same page for all 10 days, it's not easy but he made it work. All we can do is "Try our Best" is amazing!! This will be a trip that I will never forget in my life. People who make dreams a reality will always be a part of mine and Karen's life. I hope to continue to be friends with you & hope to see you soon! I wish you the best on the next voyage & don't forget we always will love you!"
