September 2024

We have chartered with Steve and Bonnie twice, each time as part of our yacht club's annual cruise. PARADIGM SHIFT provided the platform from which six of us would race our sailboat each day. This was an unusual assignment because we were gone all day racing, but it put many demands on Steve and Bonnie which they lived up to with smiles and interest. Not only did they need to move PARADIGM SHIFT to specific locations, they had to be there before we got there and be ready for us to raft up which they always did. While Steve had to deal with our logistics, Bonnie had to deal with our meal schedule - breakfast early, lunch packed by 8:30 to start which she magically did each day. Breakfast was different everyday and we each looked forward to what treats would be served to us. Whether it be blueberry pancakes, quiche or eggs with bacon, there was also plenty of fruit and everything was beautifully served. Lunch each day was fun because one of us would "peek" to see what Bonnie had dreamt up for lunch. Each meal was imaginative and delicious. Dinner was always a highlight so we would try to hold back on the delish appetizers Bonnie served, but that was hard to do. Everything was prepared and served with care, love, and graciousness. One of our friends wanted to take Bonnie home so he could continue to enjoy the meals she prepared for us. Bonnie and Steve do it all with huge smiles - you know they really care about their guests as people and want them to have the best possible experience. I wish them all the best and hope to see them again next season.
Best,
Patti

Steve and Bonnie Carroll made our charter everything we had hoped for and more. From the moment we met them, after exchanging sincere hugs, their first priority was making sure we were comfortable with them and being on their boat. Bonnie was an incredible cook for us. She was always making something delicious and was extremely kind in doing so. On a few occasions we watched and helped her prepare meals. It was fascinating for us to learn new recipes and share some of ours with her. What a delight! Steve always made us feel as if we were in good, safe hands. He had total control over the boat at all times. We enjoyed watching him sail and navigate. He took the time to show us what he was doing, explain his high tech navigational system, and together we developed the itinerary that best suited us. In both of their respective roles, they were true professionals with personalities you dream of. They were always aware of everything. They had the perfect blend of asking if we need anything, and knowing when we wanted space. They had so many fun water toys and we all played on them together. Having them participate with us on their stand up paddle boards, walks on the beach collecting sea shells, meandering through island towns, and early morning swims, showed us that if you're lucky, you're crew can have a fun side to them. Steve was happy to show us how to drive the dingy, although i might have made him nervous :) Their dog, Tabasco, was adorable and never felt in the way. Every morning he would climb on my lap while I enjoyed Bonnie's delightful coffee. I'm allergic to dogs, but Tabasco, being hypo-allergenic, never gave me a single problem. Definitely the best dog I've ever met! Steve and Bonnie were genuinely interested in hearing about our lives and it allowed us to feel very easy going. This is a subtle but important trait you want on your charter. After all, you're sharing limited space together. Their casual and relaxed nature made us feel as if we made life long friends. The boat was always very clean, neat, and organized. Whenever we were looking for something, down to the littlest thing such as a toothpick, nail clipper, or tape; they knew just where it would be. This trip was an all time travel highlight for us, and we've been all over the world. While we were still on the boat, we were trying to make a plan for when we can get back on in the future.
