About the Crew
In 2017, Paul and Lexy unknowingly began an adventure of a lifetime when they met working for Broadreach as a sailing instructor and scuba diving instructor respectively. During that summer season, they sailed up and down the Southern Caribbean leading groups of 13-17 year olds from all around the world. When parting ways after that summer, they knew somehow it was fate that they would come together again somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. Since then, the couple spent six years in St. Vincent & the Grenadines and stints aboard privately owned vessels across the Caribbean, the UK and the Mediterranean.
Captain Paul was born in the UK but was raised all over the globe. From living in South Korea to the Devon countryside, his fascination with travel and other cultures began quite early. When his family settled in Brixham, Paul and his father bonded through sailing. What started as a hobby soon became a passion, and that passion turned into a career. In 2015, Paul left his life in England as a hotel manager and sailed across the Atlantic. Along with a group of three others, he sailed from the Canary Islands and landed in the Southern Caribbean. After exploring the diverse islands, Paul made Bequia his home, where he captained the jewel of the Grenadines, The Friendship Rose – a classic 100-foot wooden schooner built in Bequia. After three years in this role, he moved on to captain Star of the Sea, a 35-meter motor yacht, for another three years. During this time, he also captained a wide variety of yachts, including his own catamaran, Cataja.
In his spare time, Paul volunteered with Bequia Junior Sailors, an organization that encourages young people to expand their knowledge and skills within the historical sailing community in the Grenadines. In 2019, Paul transitioned to freelance work, captaining a variety of boats throughout the Caribbean islands. Before embarking on his sailing career, Paul climbed the hospitality ladder, working in various hotels, bars, and restaurants, eventually earning a general manager position at Queen’s Court Hotel & Quayside Hotels in the UK. Paul holds an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification and an AEC 1.
Lexy was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but as an island girl at heart, the sea has always felt like home. While living in New York City, Lexy had a career in event planning and marketing, which she continued when she relocated to St. Vincent & the Grenadines (her father’s home country), working for the Bequia Beach Hotel. After a year behind the desk with the sea right outside her office door, Lexy quit her 9-to-5 job to pursue her career as a yoga instructor and started her own studio, Wild Thing Wellness, alongside her family’s Airbnb business, Ohana House Bequia.
In 2019, Lexy began her professional sailing career, acting as first mate and chef aboard Cataja and freelancing with Paul on multi-day charters throughout the Southern Caribbean. For Lexy, cooking is a form of creativity and exploration, so she invites her guests to savor the selections of her carefully curated menu, which is healthy, locally sourced, fresh, and delicious.
“Coming from a multicultural household with roots in the Caribbean and South Korea, my understanding of cooking has always been interlinked with one’s personal history and community. I’m so excited to prepare delicious meals for guests to enjoy as they spend quality time together in some of the most beautiful cruising destinations in the world.”
Each dish fuses luscious local flavors with global inspiration and is truly prepared with love. Some of the best memories are shared around a table with good wine, good food, and good company! Lexy holds a certificate in culinary nutrition and her Food & Hygiene Level 2, and she recently completed a culinary nutrition certificate from Leith’s School of Food & Wine.
As innate adventurers and people-people, Paul and Lexy's passions for travel and hospitality come together magically through the yachting industry. “We really put in the effort to make our guests feel a true sense of adventure and ease while they’re aboard their home away from home. Through sharing our love for food & sailing we create a high-end adventure that is also authentic and true to us, so our guests truly enjoy a slice of paradise aboard the yacht.”
Yoga Charter Add On Brought To You By Chef Lexy
Lexy is a highly skilled yoga instructor with over 600 hours of training. Her journey began with 200 hours of basic training in New York, followed by 300 hours of advanced training in Portugal. Lexy also had her own yoga studio in Bequia, where she further developed her expertise and passion for teaching. She now offers personalized yoga sessions onboard during your charter, designed to help you relax, increase flexibility, and build strength.

Guest Reviews

This was a bucket list trip to celebrate my 60th birthday with my adult kids. We chose Iara for its space for the family to spread out and its amenities.
While the boat was perfect, what really made our trip was Captain Paul and Chef Lexy. We felt safe, cared for and pampered. They quickly got the rhythm of our family and the things we enjoyed doing.
Captain Paul made sure we got to amazing snorkel spots, patiently taught the kids to e-foil and his golden hour cocktails were 10/10.
Chef Lexy”s menus were creative with multiple layers of flavors and were extraordinarily yummy. She leaned in and embraced our GF eater and killed it, including making an epic flourless chocolate cake. Lexy cooks with love and every plate is beautifully intentional.
We are grateful for Paul, Lexy and Iara. This adventure was spectacular! Thank you all so much!

When looking to book a trip to celebrate some major milestones, 20th anniversary, 30th anniversary, and a 50th birthday, we decided to book. We came across the boat Iara with Captain Paul and Chef Lexy. We are happy to report all the reviews are spot on. They made us feel immediately at home and excited to start this amazing trip.
Paul did an amazing job at getting us boat ready. He is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with patience, as if he doesn’t get asked them every charter! Don’t get me started on the bar skills he has… cocktail hour is one of the best times of day aboard Iara!
Lexy is a magician in the kitchen. She poured love into every bite! Every meal was delicious, fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Our group plans to try and recreate some of our favorites.
The Iara was the perfect size for our party of six. We loved all the gathering spaces and the views they provided. My favorite was star gazing on the top while sipping a drink and listening to music.
Between the wonderful staff and dream team of Paul and Lexy, we had a trip filled with memories to last a lifetime. We cannot wait to find our next adventure with them. Thank you Paul and Lexy!

Our experience aboard the Iara with Captain Paul and Mate/Chef Lexy was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear we were in the hands of true professionals who care deeply about both their craft and their guests.
Captain Paul curated an outstanding itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, exploration, and relaxation across the BVIs and USVIs. Each stop felt intentional and thoughtfully chosen, giving us a true sense of the islands while still allowing for spontaneity and discovery. Just as importantly, they struck a rare balance between engaging with our family and giving us the space to simply be together. Traveling as a family of five (with three daughters ages 9–14) that balance made all the difference.
Lexy was extraordinary in every sense. Her meals were consistently outstanding: creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. She somehow managed to accommodate a wide range of tastes, from kids to a pescatarian, without ever compromising on quality. Every meal felt abundant, with portions that were more than generous, and dinners were elevated by her fantastic craft cocktails. It’s not easy to deliver that level of culinary experience on a boat, but she made it look effortless.
They also went above and beyond in helping us celebrate two special milestones—hosting birthday celebrations on board for our 9- and 12-year-olds. They made each one feel thoughtful and memorable, adding a personal touch that meant a great deal to our family.
Beyond the itinerary and the food, what truly stood out was the warmth and attentiveness of both Paul and Lexy. Their service was seamless, friendly, and intuitive; they seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even asked. They created an environment that felt both elevated and completely comfortable.
This trip was, without question, a trip of a lifetime for our family - exciting, relaxing, and above all, safe. We will carry these memories with us for years to come, and we cannot recommend Captain Paul and Lexy aboard the Iara highly enough.

We just returned from the most incredible catamaran trip in the British Virgin Islands with friends, celebrating a couple of 50th birthdays, and it was truly unforgettable!
The itinerary was perfectly planned by Captain Paul and Lexy, giving us the chance to explore beautiful beaches, crystal-clear water, and some of the most stunning spots in the BVI. Each stop felt like a new adventure.
Lexy’s food was absolutely fabulous—every meal was fresh, creative, and delicious. It felt like dining at a floating restaurant with a new island view every day!
Paul was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, and fun—making the trip relaxed and enjoyable. The service throughout the trip was excellent, and they went above and beyond to make our celebration special. Truly a great team.
A special thank you to Zelda, our trip advisor with Charter Smarter, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and made everything so easy for us. 🙌
If you’re looking for an amazing way to celebrate a milestone birthday or just want a truly memorable vacation with friends, a BVI catamaran trip is the way to go. We made memories that will last a lifetime!

We had a fantastic experience on the Iara with Captain Paul and Lexy. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and had wonderful suggestions for excursions. They were a great resource in assisting travel for the excursions and to/from the airport. The food was absolutely amazing! The boat was clean and beautiful. Excellent overall! I would do it again for sure - no changes.

The boat was excellent and the crew even better. Paul and Lexy are a supremely competent and congenial team. They were calm and efficient handling the boat, even in the face of a squall with winds upwards of 40 mph. The food and drinks were fantastic and continually exceeded our expectations. They dealt well with the idiosyncrasies of our group, were patient and constructive as we fine tuned our itinerary, and were always fun to be around. The boat was immaculate, and we are especially appreciative of the high-end espresso machine. I could not recommend them more highly.

Our week aboard the 50-foot catamaran IARA was truly the ultimate family vacation — one that exceeded every expectation.
From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Paul and Lexy made us feel completely at home. They are the perfect balance of professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. Traveling with four children (ages 9–15) can sometimes be an adventure in itself, but Paul and Lexy made it seamless and unforgettable for every one of us.
Paul patiently taught the boys a little how to sail and got them involved whenever possible. The boat was stocked with plenty of toys and watercraft to keep everyone entertained, and there was never a dull moment. My husband’s favorite day was visiting the Bitter End and Saba Rock, where we used the BOBs (handheld underwater propulsion devices) — such a thrill!
Lexy is an absolute culinary star. She prepared breakfast every morning (cappuccinos to DIE for) and lunch and dinner on the days we opted for it, and every single meal was creative, beautifully presented, and delicious. Our entire family looked forward to each meal — and with four kids, that’s saying something! She has such a talent for combining fresh ingredients into dishes everyone loved.
We packed so much into our seven days, but my favorite day was visiting Anegada. Paul and Lexy connected us with the perfect vehicle rental, and we spent the entire day exploring the island — such a unique and memorable experience.
The boat itself was spotless, comfortable, and clearly very well maintained. You could tell Paul and Lexy take great pride in IARA, and it shows in every detail.
What speaks volumes is this: I am usually ready to head home toward the end of a vacation. This time? I could have happily stayed another week — especially with Paul and Lexy. Their hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail made this experience extraordinary.
This trip did not just meet expectations — it surpassed them. If you’re considering a charter, IARA with Captain Paul and Lexy is an absolute dream. We will treasure these memories forever.

Our trip on the IARA was fabulous. Paul and Lexy are superstars. The itinerary was great, the food was five stars and the boat was perfection.
We decided on an itinerary that was split between adventures (snorkeling, hiking, and local restaurants/bars) and time on the boat to relax as a family.
This was our first cruising vacation. We found everything to be organized and efficient. We had a video conference with Paul and Lexy prior to our trip to go over our itinerary and meals. We had done our research on what we wanted to do and see, Paul and Lexy offered some suggestions that turned out to enhance our trip.
Once on board it was easy to immediately relax because Paul and Lexy have such an easy and chill way about them. The food prepared by Lexy was as good and at times better then some 4-5 star restaurants we have eaten in.
The IARA was comfortable, clean, and totally relaxing for our family of six. Plenty of room to all be together and plenty of room to relax and escape when you wanted to. The IARA has a wide range of “water toys” that really enhanced the trip and Paul took us to some spectacular snorkeling spots that we really enjoyed.
We would highly recommend a trip on the IARA with Paul and Lexy.

What a way to ring in 2026! My wife, our two daughters, and I had the absolute best time sailing around the BVIs aboard IARA. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets bookended a week full of unforgettable adventures, both on the water and on land.
Lexi always had amazing aromas coming from the galley, and Paul made sure cocktail hour was consistently memorable. They were incredibly helpful in planning our menus for the week—everything was delicious, well-balanced, and never too heavy. The itinerary they put together was fantastic as well. We hit all the must-see spots and truly felt like we got a great sense of the BVIs.
One of the best parts was being on autopilot for the week, letting Lexi and Paul take the lead. No matter our mood, they could effortlessly tailor each day to be as active or as relaxed as we wanted.
The IARA itself was beautiful—very clean, modern, and well maintained. Even though we spent most of our time outside, the staterooms were spacious and extremely comfortable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and are already looking forward to the next trip.

What a treat to have Lexy and Paul plan ahead and make the travel happen aboard Iara - planning groceries, cooking gourmet meals made especially according to our requests, entertaining us and sharing space with another family…. Lexy and Paul did a great job navigating our family’s needs and also giving us space for family time in a gorgeous setting. Lexy’s food was delicious and Paul navigated a great adventure. Highly recommend!!!

We spent Thanksgiving week aboard Iara with Paul and Lexy, and it was an absolute dream come true! The boat is pristine and has all the comforts of home. Lexy whipped up incredible gourmet meals all week, and Paul is such a patient, kind human. We traveled with our daughters (14 and 9) so Paul and Lexy planned our adventures with the entire family in mind - and they’re amazing with kids! They were so accommodating and flexible whether it was our itinerary, food selections, or showing us how to e-foil. The Iara has a great selection of toys, and we loved playing everyday while seeing all the beautiful sights around the BVIs. This vacation was the perfect mix of relaxing and adventure!

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our charter on Iara. We couldn’t have asked for a more fabulous week! We loved Lexi and Paul! Paul was an incredible captain and made us feel confident in his abilities and experience. He also made great cocktails! Lexi was an incredible first mate whose culinary skills were second to none. The thing that I loved about the week was that it was truly was a vacation. We didn’t have to think about anything. Our days were very laid back and we just rolled with whatever options Lexi and Paul offered us. It was so nice to wake up every morning to the smell of coffee and enjoy the morning with a book on the top deck. Then, we would be called down to the most beautiful breakfast! Everyday was something different and delicious. Each day we would have either lunch or dinner on shore and the other meal on the boat. Lexi and Paul took care of all of our reservations and each of their recommendations were wonderful. They knew all the great places to snorkel, and we got to see some very cool things. We saw a ship wreck, lots of beautiful fish and even swam in a cave. When we weren’t sailing, snorkeling or swimming off the boat, we were exploring the islands. It was so relaxing that most days I didn’t know what day it was or what time it was! Our girls loved this vacation also, and it was a great way to spend quality time together. I highly recommend Iara, Lexi and Paul. They made this bucket list vacation one to remember!

As a family we have been wanting to take a charter in the BVI for many years!
After finally deciding to just do it, we had no idea where to start. So, we started where I’m sure most do and went to Google! After reading and researching many broker companies, we settled on Yacht Warriors!
Matt and his team were so responsive! He listened, gave honest opinions and direction, and really helped shape our charter. It was honestly his recommendation of the benefits of the boat and our research on the crew that we decided on IARA – and what a perfect decision it was! This was our first charter but definitely will not be our last and I would use Matt and Yacht Warriors every time.
IARA - The boat is gorgeous! So well maintained and the décor is beautiful. Never doing a charter before, we were concerned having 2 teenage girls that we would not have the space we would need for 7 days. This could not be more wrong! There are so many different spaces that we could be together as a family or spend time alone if needed.
Although IARA is beautiful, it was the Paul and Lexy that made our trip unforgettable. From day 1 they made us feel welcomed and ensured that everything we needed was taken care of. The food was amazing – Lexy is an incredible chef – every meal was perfection and Paul’s nightly cocktails weren’t bad either!! Each day was planned perfectly – from helping us secure a Moke rental and dinner reservations in Anegada, to the Baths and snorkeling Monkey Point, the Indians and the Caves – our family experienced a trip of a lifetime. Paul was always so patient in teaching Dustin how to sail – and even included our teenage girls!
As the week came to an end, we were so sad to leave. We made lifelong friends and cannot wait to sail aboard IARA again.
If you are still deciding whether to take the trip… TAKE THE TRIP! You will not regret it. This trip was epic and will be hard to beat.
Thank you so much Lexy and Paul for the memories! We will cherish them forever.

Spending a week on the Iara was everything that we had hoped it would be and more. The boat had comfortable space for our family of five adults and we thoroughly enjoyed all the water activities, but the best part of Iara is her crew.
We can’t say enough good things about Paul and Lexy! Their attention to detail and genuinely fun vibe put us completely at ease from day one. As first-time charter guests and first-time visitors to the Virgin Islands, we couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Paul and Lexy truly set the bar high.
Paul’s skill as a captain and patience answering our questions made the sailing a memorable and exciting part of the trip, while Lexy’s incredible meals will be talked about — and (attempted to be) recreated in our own kitchen — for years to come. They worked tirelessly to provide us with a great experience.
As a team, they’re thoughtful, kind and an absolute joy to spend time with. The itinerary was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, with plenty of time to explore the islands, swim, snorkel, and simply float in the crystal-clear water.
We haven’t stopped talking about this vacation — I keep calling it the trip of a lifetime, and it honestly was. Yet even as I reflect on how incredible it was, I’m already looking forward to seeing Iara’s itinerary for next year, hoping we’ll have the chance to sail with Paul and Lexy again!
Thank you for a 5-Star vacation. Highest recommendation for the Iara with Paul and Lexy.

We just returned from a fun trip through the beautiful British Virgin Islands and had an incredible experience aboard the IARA. The IARA is a beautiful, well-kept boat with plenty of great spaces to relax and hang out. We especially appreciated the small touches that made a big difference — like having the air conditioning on when we arrived so we could unpack comfortably, and a thoughtful basket of essentials including sunscreen and other helpful items we ended up using throughout the trip.
Captain Paul was a true professional — calm, patient, and always accommodating, even as our group made last-minute changes or had a range of requests. He also proved to be a top-notch bartender, keeping us well taken care of during happy hour and beyond.
Lexy’s meals were a standout. Each dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. A few of us are self proclaimed foodies, and her cooking became a daily highlight we all looked forward to.
We also had a great time using the games on board — a few intense rounds of Clue got competitive quickly thanks to the two brothers in our group, and it added a fun, unexpected layer to our downtime after hours of snorkeling, island bar hopping, ship jumping, and more.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip full of great memories, thanks to the IARA and its amazing crew. We’re so grateful for the experience and are already thinking about when we can come back! Thank you again Paul and Lexy!

Our week spent on Iara was incredible! Paul's confidence and knowledge of the area made us feel so taken care of. Every spot we sailed to was amazing. Snorkeling, beautiful beaches, and paddle boards were a few of the great activities available when we weren't moving. Lexy’s food was beyond good. Everything was so creative, flavorful, beautifully presented, and always tailored to our needs. One of our party members had a list of food allergies, and Lexy was so considerate and made her feel so comfortable eating anything without worrying. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, specialty cocktails, and desserts were always 10 out of 10. There was not a single meal that wasn't great. Sailing with a crew that takes care of everything makes a world of a difference in being able to just sit back and relax! We can't wait to do it again.

Our family of four had the most amazing and relaxing spring break of our lives aboard the Iara. The sailboat is well appointed and clean. We had plenty of space, and the kids loved all the nooks.
We traveled throughout the British Virgin Islands, hitting every spot we'd heard about and some areas recommended by the crew. Our favorites included the Baths at Virgin Gorda, the bubbling pool at Jost Van Dyke, snorkeling around the Norman Island caves and making it to the Bitter End.
The crew was the best part of our trip. Paul and Lexy made our vacation so easy and fun. Paul ensured we had the right mix of adventure, water sports and relaxation. Lexy is a talented chef, and the meals were fresh and delicious. She somehow adapted her menu to please our picky kids. We lingered over gorgeous sunsets and different cocktails every evening.
We will never forget that trip! It was amazing!

It’s impossible to overstate how indulgent, luxurious, comfortable, and invigorating our time was aboard Iara (our hosts’ catamaran). It was truly the most satisfying week I’ve every enjoyed traveling. Not merely because we soaked up sunny, 78 degree weather in the Virgin Islands. But because our hosts - Paul and Lexi - made it so. They were so easy to be with, so natural, so pleasant, so affable, so capable, and so helpful at all the right times. They created the vibe and path for us to completely unwind, 100% relax with each other, both exploring and escaping.
Food: Lexi is a fantastic chef - she made every single meal feel gourmet, special, home-cooked…because it all was. From steak, to scallops, to fish tacos, to creme brûlée, to eggs Benedict, to fresh salads, to paella - it was all so satisfying. Paul made killer cocktails every night while we took in the sunset from the top of the boat. Then he’d bring delicious appetizers (that of course Lexi made!) Maybe mimosas with breakfast, definitely wine with dinner, fresh fruit and snacks before or after a swim - always right there, always easy. We were served by Paul and Lexi - always attentive, never lingering, always available and willing to chat when we’d strike something up.
Boat: a super-cool, Scandinavian/modern/sleek feel with so many great spaces. A sunny spot up top with a big, L-shaped couch. A front with cushions for laying out. A shady, comfy L-shaped couch/booth around a big table (that we incidentally played cards, jenga on at least as often as we ate there. (I also napped there several times. Another long couch in the shade for looking out the back. Another shady, cushioned reading nook. The bedroom(s) in the hull with more storage space than we could use. We took hot showers and woke up looking out the window of our bed watching the sunrise on mornings we faced East. My favorite spot by far: the webbing (Paul called it a trampoline) on the front of the boat where I laid out and caught sun and the splashing of waves when we were hopping from island to island. Literally one of my favorite things to do on the planet. It felt like being a little kid.
Activities: we snorkeled around more reefs than I can remember, virtually every day. We snorkeled around caves, the Indians (rocks/reef sticking up out of the ocean). We’d paddle board, float in the water, explore beaches, found iconic oceanside bars, hiked in some sort of rainforest, explored caves, and swam in a magical protected cove that was like a jacuzzi fueled by waves channeling through oceanside rocks. I’m sure there were more things that others would have explored but the range, ease, accessibility, and diversity of hitting a couple of these things each day was plenty for us. And Paul and Lexi listened to what we wanted to do and mirrored the pace and activities we sought. And always offered a cold beverage, meal, or bottle of bubbly when we would return.
In the end I think what I appreciated the most was how easy it was just to be. The only decision we needed to make: which part of the boat to sit on while we read, had a drink, or caught sun. Paul and Lexi owned ALL the responsibilities. Such a delight that they took on literally everything that the week required. If Paul and Lexi lived here instead of on a boat in the Caribbean, I know I’d be friends with them. We shared so many great conversations and laughs - I think that made it all that much more special. I’ll be talking about this trip for the rest of my life!

Paul and Alexa,
We had such a relaxing week aboard Felicia with you both! We appreciated your calm dispositions and willingness to teach the boys. Thank you for taking them wake boarding, allowing them to explore the night life of the sea creatures, fishing, tipping over the kayak, exploring the shore and teaching them to sail! The report back to the parents was mostly about how cool Paul was! The food was wonderful! I really appreciated your calm, "all is well" disposition. It made for a wonderfully relaxing week for me, thank you! Most definitely one of our favorite trips of all time!
Blessings on your future adventures!

Dear Paul and Alexa,
I tried to write an official sounding review but my thoughts feel so personal that I decided to write it in the form of a thank you letter to you both. I hope this is ok.
Thank you so much for an incredible week aboard Felicia! Wow— you exceeded our expectations on every level. Paul, you’re not only a great captain but your bartending skills are pretty epic! I’m still thinking about those spicy margaritas! Lexy, every meal was excellent and the variety of meals was incredible. You worked tirelessly in the kitchen— always with a smile on your face. Both of you were so patient with us— answering numerous questions, accommodating all requests, closing our hatches when we forgot, and the list goes on and on!
We were expecting the week to be wonderful but the 2 of you made it better than we could have dreamed. You helped us celebrate Tricia's big birthday in such a fun way— videoing our dance party, letting us hang up decorations, making specialty drinks, providing a birthday cake, and joining in on the fun.
You were flexible with the itinerary when suggestions were made and navigated us through some tricky wind and weather. We always felt 100% safe with the 2 of you in charge. (not sure we can say the same about Mark and Lee’s kayaking skills!)
It really was a trip of a lifetime with our dearest friends and we are grateful that you were our crew! Y’all are a Dream Team for sure and I hope we can return to Felicia (or whatever vessel you’re on) in the future!
All our best-
Kristy & Keith
I tried to write an official sounding review but my thoughts feel so personal that I decided to write it in the form of a thank you letter to you both. I hope this is ok.
Thank you so much for an incredible week aboard Felicia! Wow— you exceeded our expectations on every level. Paul, you’re not only a great captain but your bartending skills are pretty epic! I’m still thinking about those spicy margaritas! Lexy, every meal was excellent and the variety of meals was incredible. You worked tirelessly in the kitchen— always with a smile on your face. Both of you were so patient with us— answering numerous questions, accommodating all requests, closing our hatches when we forgot, and the list goes on and on!
We were expecting the week to be wonderful but the 2 of you made it better than we could have dreamed.

January 2022 - Guest Testimonials From Previous Yacht
We had a lovely week on Felicia, sailing around St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. The boat was very spacious and had everything we could want in the way of comforts and water toys. Paul and Alexa did a wonderful job charting our itinerary, finding beautiful locations for us to visit, and generally being very hospitable. Alexa’s cooking was terrific, and the meals generally great.

We had dangerously high expectations for our trip on the Felicia, but I’m glad to say the week far exceeded our best hopes. We spotted Felicia in the bay the day before we boarded her which was exciting and she looked amazing as we boarded her. There is little more exciting than being aboard her doing 13.5 knots as you dart between the islands.
Paul and Alexa were the perfect hosts Paul has abundant energy and is an excellent skipper- very confident and professional. He’s also a superb host which is an impressive combination. He knows the boat, the waters, the islands and the locals and made sure everyday was fulfilling He’s also a very attentive bartender and he is superbly complemented by his ever smiling Alexa. If there is a better chef in the Caribbean I’d be surprised Her range of cuisine was amazing and nothing was impossible! Felicia was an excellent way to see the islands Whether it was day trips to beaches, swimming, lunch or dinner, each day was an experience. Sparrow’s beach club on Union Island was a great afternoon with a lot of cocktails and lobster
Paul and Alexa, many thanks.We shall be back!

Thank you both for everything you did for us all. It was a blissful experience being on Felicia - you both have a wonderful ability to understand the varied needs of all your guests and accommodate them all to make a very special experience for the whole group. The sailing was exhilarating (particularly the last day’s sail back from Canouan!), Lexy’s cooking was exquisite. … and the Rum punches always arrived without fail just at the right moment! It was just the most fabulous week- thank you both very much indeed. Should you ever make it to Scotland a very warm welcome awaits you!
With love from us both

Dear Alexa and Paul,
We had the most wonderful time with you on the Felicia. I was always amazed how you kept your calm - with coping with us old folks!! Getting us on shore - and back on board. I loved watching the sails go up. So we did the real sailing - cutting the engines - it was awesome! Alexa is SO the best cook on the high seas. And Paul was such a kind, courteous, and helpful skipper. The best really!!! We couldn’t of asked for more - I seriously recommend them.
With many thanks,
Bryan & Sara

October 2020 - Guest Testimonials From Previous Yacht
We had the pleasure to sail with Alexa and Paul for a week around a cluster of Caribbean islands called the Grenadines. Before the charter Paul called us and we started to put together our dream trip. As they have lived in the Caribbean for many years they were able to guide our family through the process and set the stage for a very exciting trip for my husbands 40th birthday.
They were delightful to sail with. Fun but relaxed and consistently working hard to make sure we got everything we wished for. Alexa’s food was sensational, happily catering for our young children while also putting on delicious food for my husband and myself later in the evening.
As they have been living in the area they knew all the best spots. Were able to advise us on some terrific restaurants on our nights out and introduce us to some of their friends at some idyllic locations.
We were blown away and have made sure to tell all our friends of what a fantastic family holiday we had.
We will definitely be keeping in touch with Alexa and Paul and are already planning our next adventure away hopefully sooner rather than later.
