Garin + Georgie!!

You two made this experience one of the BEST we have ever had. Thank you for being YOU!

Having never been to the BVI before, you showed us all the fun spots. Garin, you fit in with our crew with your humor + wit. Loved it.
Georgie, you are one of the sweetest people I met. Your cooking skills are EXCELLENT.

Thank you for taking such good care of us! We will miss you! ♡ ♡

Go Big Red!

George + Garin

Thanks for taking care of our crazy crew this week, we all had an absolute blast! Thanks for working so hard to help us be able to cheer on our Huskers!
Best of luck to both of you & if you’re ever in the states, we’d love to see you in Nebraska!

Thanks again, the trip was more than we imagined!

Todd & Holly M.

Garin & Georgie,

Everyday we spent with you two was a day I only thought could be in my dreams! Thank you for showing us around BVI and making every day more memorable than the next.

Georgie, your cooking skills are out of this world! I’m going to be thinking of the lasagna and that brownie with ice cream for a long time. I really enjoyed chatting with you about life, expensive boats, wedding planning (which you are quite good at!).

Garin, your sailing us through the massive waves so gracefully was very impressive. I had so much fun joking around, playing new games, wake boarding (or trying to!), and sailing with you!

You two made this trip. I’m so thankful that we got to meet and have these memories together.

♡ Anna P

How am I supposed to return to normal life today after this week of being spoiled in every way?

Georgie & Garin, thank you doesn’t do it, but… thank you 😊.
Georgie, a photo finish on every single meal while making it look easy (it isn’t, I know).

Garin, your sure-handed control of the ship (and putting up with my “messy cabin” — ha), but even more, keeping the fun meter on high with wake boarding, hobi-cat sailing, Corona yacht quesos, chess, supreme cocktails & so much more.

More than all of this, we loved your easy company, your stories, and getting to know you both better. I can’t thank you enough!!

Fondly,
Martha P.

Garin & Georgie

What a week! This is going to feel so far away when we return to Boston in the thick of a polar vortex 😬.

These couple days were straight up unreal. You two made it 1,000 times better. It’s awesome how fast you can get to know someone when stuck on a sweet boat with them.

I’ll be stalking you both on Instagram and will be sending memes 🤝.

When you play Cards Against Humanity please change Casper’s name to Dominic. This boat would be my preferred haunting location. Heaven on Earth.
With the greatest crew of all time.


All the very best,
Dominic P.

Dearest Georgie & Gavin,

What a week eh!

Brett & I (Colby) had an absolute blast! Thank you so much for showing us a world so different from our own at home (Canada).

You two were a pleasure to party with. It was awesome to cut loose at Coco Maya with you! Drinking, dancing, Jenga… Brett lighting her hair on FIRE! So fun!

All the meals and the banter I’m going to miss so much.
Georgie, you’re an incredible chef and Gavin, you’re a fantastic host.
You both made this boat feel like home.

Thank you so much for everything! We are going to miss you!

Colby & Brett ♡

Gavin & Georgie —

I can’t say enough how much I’ve enjoyed this experience and no doubt that a huge part of it has been due to your incredible & gracious hospitality & care — even when you were “off duty ;) ”

I’m returning full of incredible memories and thank you for creating it all and sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Rob 1 & Rob 2

Georgie & Garin

The celebration of my 70th birthday was beyond memorable. I could not have imagined a more perfect way to ring in a new decade. You both went above and beyond for everyone
in our group. The break-crash (unclear) chaotic dinners created priceless memories which will be remembered for the rest of our lives. We all hope this isn’t the last time we cross paths.

All the best,
Greg

Thank y’all so much for such an amazing vacation. I couldn’t ask for better food, views, and company!

I will never forget this vacation — all thanks to you.
Thank you and wishing you safe travels for your future.

Georgie & Gracie,

Thank you so much for showing your beautiful island to us and making us feel at home on the Libra.
Your wonderful hospitality, amazing food, and ability to adapt to our needy game playing family made this one of the most special family vacations we have ever taken. For Kris and me, this was our 5th catamaran experience and still we saw new and amazing places, creatures, etc. We look forward to coming back again.
Take Care
Kris and Jim E.

How would you describe your yacht? Was the yacht comfortable and clean? Well ventilated? Sufficient Shade? Sufficient Space to relax?
Great size vessel for our group of eight. Plenty of places to enjoy privately or in groups, along with options for shade.

How would you describe your crew? Were they courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Accompanied you on your activities/land excursions? Wore uniforms and acted professionally?
Our crew was fantastic! Garin and Georgie - very courteous, helpful, energetic, fun, attentive. They spent time with our kids showing them different parts of the boat, taking them on the water for activities, and were always professional and safety conscious.

Was the food great and well presented? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your crew pay attention to your preference sheets?
Wow, the food was fantastic! Georgie took great care of meal prep and presentation. Garin was a pro on the grill too! They balanced our food needs and expectations really well - the food was delightful and filling!

How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your charter?
The pace and schedule was wonderful. We had a pre-charter meeting when we met Garin and Georgie, and were able to discuss our ideas and their plans, and add a couple additional events into the mix.

Additional comments about the yacht and the crew?
What an experience! From the start, our broker was wonderful to work with as we gathered information and made plans for our adventure. Their communication was excellent, and they were always able to answer our questions. But let’s talk about the catamaran and crew—while our broker coordinated the logistics, it was Georgie and Garin who truly made the trip unforgettable.
We take an annual beach trip with three generations of family—my husband, and our four kids, along with my in-laws—our group ranges in age from 12 to 78. This year, we decided to take things up a notch with a catamaran trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, we felt safe, secure, and incredibly well cared for. Garin and Georgie walked us through safety protocols, gave us a tour of the boat, and immediately made us feel welcome with snacks and drinks.
From there, the fun began. We sailed, snorkeled, paddle boarded, swam, floated, learned to wakeboard, jumped off the boat, visited beaches, and explored islands. Garin even arranged for a saxophone player to join us one evening—a highlight that made for an especially fun and memorable night. We toured Virgin Gorda (with Sweet Ice Willy, of course!), enjoyed delicious meals, and savored plenty of drinks along the way.
To make things even more special, Garin and Georgie created little games for the kids each day—hangman, word searches, map clues—to help reveal the day’s upcoming adventure. It added an extra layer of excitement and kept everyone engaged.
Our days were filled with sunshine, laughter, activity, and relaxation, and by evening, everyone was happily exhausted. All in all, it was a perfect trip with truly terrific people. We could not have asked for more!

Was it easy to travel to and from your yacht?
Yes

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes

In the future, would you consider : Charter again, Book the same Yacht again, Follow the crew onto another yacht, Sail a different destination. Any additional thoughts about your charter experience?
While we call this a "once in a lifetime" trip, we hope to make it a regular event, whether with family or friends.
Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories!

I have no idea how to even explain how much this trip meant to me.
Garin and Georgie (mom and dad 2.0) are some of my favorite people and I will never forget this trip because of them.
I will find you so watch out!
With so much love,
Josie Pedersen (charter princess and mom’s favorite ❤️)

Also the barracuda was after me.

An epic week in the BVI’s! Soggy Dollar, Willy T’s, Guana Island, Sweet Ice. Willy (and his DJ skills), the Baths, endless card games, and a saxophonist!
Your fun-loving, easy-going spirits made our time unforgettable!
We’re grateful for every sunset, every sail, every moment you helped create with our family! Love,
Sharon

Our family (including our 8-year-old son) had the best time! Garin and Georgie were super friendly and really great with our boy — they played with him and made sure he was having lots of fun, they even got him a toy! The food was amazing for all of us — especially the coconut crème brûlée, which we’re still dreaming about. Everything was clean, comfortable, and easy. We felt so well looked after. Can’t wait to come back!'

We had an amazing trip — everything was so well taken care of. Garin is incredibly experienced and made the whole journey smooth and relaxing, even when the weather got a bit rough. Garin and Georgie were super friendly, kept our cabin spotless, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect mix of comfort and adventure — we felt totally looked after the entire time.

The most amazing trip that we’ve ever been on. Connor and Ada were a perfect fit for our crazy party of people. Showed us all the spots we asked to see and a lot more that we didn’t know about. Ada was an amazing chef. From breakfast through dinner she nailed it. We will hopefully see them in the future
Thank you both
The Libra 50
Mario and Alicia

Captain Connor and Ada
We want to thank you both for the most amazing and chill trip we’ve ever been on. Sailing with you was an absolute dream on board the Libra — smooth seas, great vibes, and unforgettable moments.
And Ada — the food and presentation were off the charts! Not the map lol! Every meal was a five-star experience.
You both made the trip something we’ll never forget. Can’t wait to sail with you again someday!

You guys were the best

Diane and Jeffie

We just returned from the most AMAZING charter on Libra! Captain Connor and Chef Ada went above and beyond each and every day to make sure we had the best time!! They listened to what we wanted to do and what kind of food we liked and they delivered! We were excited each morning to see what the day would bring. It always started off with a delicious breakfast from Ada and our chart “lesson” lol from Connor! We enjoyed every place they took us to as well as Capt. Connor’s drink of the day! I could go on and on because it really was that WONDERFUL! We really feel like we have new lifetime friends with Connor and Ada and we hope to return someday!!!
Shelly and Scott

Thank you for taking us around the USVI and BVI. We really enjoyed our stay on the Libra. We learned so much about this part of the Caribbean. We enjoyed a great time with our good friends aboard your yacht. We were well taken care of with exceptional food and service. The two of you are always welcome to stay with us in Texas.
Cheers
Eddie and Dondrea

Thank you so much for the wonderful snorkeling spots and the lovely anchorages every night. We really appreciate your knowledge and experience on the water. You make everyone feel so comfortable and you made our week a memory of a lifetime.

Ada, we couldn't have asked for better meals everyday. You truly go over the top with your food prep and lovely presentation.
Thank you for a fantastic week.

Thank you is not the words to express how fantastic our experience has been. You both went above and beyond for our once in a lifetime experience! We feel we have new friends!!
We were out of red wine and Connor went to another boat to get us a bottle!

If you ever want to go to California or Tahoe call us!
You will always have a place with us.
Streve and Wende

Connor and Ada
How do we thank you for a truly perfect week! For ourselves as individuals, and as a family - we loved every second! Thank you for sharing this perfect place with us and for being an extended part of our family. We hope you will please stay with us if you ever come to Cape Cod, Charleston or Washington D.C.
Love you guys
Lolli and Pop

I've just returned from a week-long trip aboard Libra 50 with a great group of friends.
Connor and Ada were incredible hosts; you know it's a great trip when you're sad to leave because you feel like the hosts have become your friends, not to mention the incredible food, service, and all of the amazing places we got to visit.
Libra 50 was spacious and comfortable.
We look forward to returning again!

How would you describe your yacht? Was the yacht comfortable and clean? Well ventilated? Sufficient Shade? Sufficient Space to relax?
Absolutely incredible. Surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Plenty of sun if we wanted, and shade if we didn't. A/C units worked well. Roomy enough for 10 people on board to either spend time together, or apart without feeling like we were in each others' spaces. Yacht was modern, great aesthetic.

How would you describe your crew? Were they courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Accompanied you on your activities/land excursions? Professional?
Connor and Ada were the best and so professional, but not stuffy. We really, really enjoyed them. They made sure we had everything we needed, kept everything clean, answered any of our questions with confidence. Our entire group would charter with them again, no question.

Was the food great and well presented? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your crew pay attention to your preference sheets?
Menus exceeded all expectations. We ate 5 star meals. The food was a highlight of the trip. Yes, they paid great attention to our preference sheets.

How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your charter?
Perfect. I still can't believe we saw so much of the USVI and BVI, but still felt like we were truly on vacation and not "stuck" to a fast-paced itinerary.

Additional comments about the yacht and the crew?
What a high, high bar that is now set! Everything was great.

Was it easy to travel to and from your yacht?: Yes
Did you like the area you chartered in?: Yes

Ada and Connor
What a wonderful trip and adventure for the "old" folks on the trip. Your patience and kindness were a gift to us.
Transfers to and from the dinghy and growing sea legs kept us on the go.
Ada, the cooking was delicious and interesting - three squares on a rocking boat - a new experience!
Thanks Connor for all your sailing expertise and interesting history. if you ever need a break from the sea head to our wheat farm in Eastern, Washington.
You guys are living the life.
Greg and Julie

Had an Amazing Week with Connor and Ada.
They legitimately went above and beyond to make sure we had a terrific week in the Virgin Islands. Connor has great Knowledge of the area for Snorkeling / Hiking and Ada cooked great meals every single day which kept the whole party full and happy!
Would highly recommend this crew for your next charter.
Steve P.

Phenomenal vacation thanks to Ada (chef and first mate) and Connor (captain and mixologist exemplar).
Truly the best vacation sailing and powering around the US and British Virgin Islands. Everywhere we wanted to go, they made it happen.
The meals were fantastic and Ada’s culinary skills are not to be missed!
Bev S.

Connor and Ada were beyond amazing… having taken 5 chartered crewed vacations in the BVI (with couples) this was our first experience taking our children 14,13 and 10. Libra was well set up with the most comfortable beds we have ever had on charter, cold ac, tons of toys and plenty of space to enjoy the views…. Connors knowledge of the area , its history and the quiet places to hangout were amazing. Ada made amazing meals; my son has never finished every plate of food as fast in his life. We’re trying to convince her to move to FL so he will eat and we wont have to argue. They made out kids first boat & BVI trip special & fun; so much so that the kids want to come back to the Libra with them in Lieu of Christmas.

Amish P.

Our second trip in 6 months with Connor and Ada on Libra. After our first trip in the BVI on a catamaran with our children in the summer… We asked the kids if they would rather not exchange Christmas presents instead be with Connor and Ada over Christmas. All three kids immediately said they’d rather be on the boat with Captain and Chef. For six months they’ve been counting down to Ada’s delicious food and their favorites. And, all the fun places Captain takes them and all the history and fishing they get to do. The rooms were perfect. AC was cold, all kinds of fun toys on the boat. They even had the boat decorated for Christmas for us and then all kinds of fun Christmas games and ornaments and gifts to make it even more special .
Connor and Ada are amazing and will definitely be chartering with them again as soon as humanly possible.

Christopher M

Thank you for another wonderful week at sea that went way too fast. We cant wait to see you again. Please send pictures of the fish you caught with the lures and Ada the meals you make with the sous vide. Thank you for making Christmas 2024 so special from the decorations, to shoop, to the olympics.... Thank you so much

Amish P.

I didn't think it was possible but this time around was even better than the first! Everything was perfection and you gave us a memorable Christmas e will never forget! You all have become Family.
We love you!
Megan P.

Thank you so much for making these best vacations. Thank you for all the good memories. Ada's food was delicious. Everything was perfect and thank you for the best Christmas EVER.

You guys are like friends, it was the best! Food was delicious and everywhere we went was amazing.
Chris P.

Thank you so much for making these vacations memorable and so much fun.

Ada, your food is always incredibly delicious and thanks for accommodating my needs - since I'm such a picky eater.

Connor, thank you for bringing us to beautiful places.

Also, I will always remember the word "Ubuntu" - we really are a community/family that I will always remember for years and years.

Good luck on your next diving and culinary adventures.

Bella M.

Wow, what an amazing experience!!
Our family and friends had the best time getting to know you.
Thanks a ton for sharing the BVI and USVI with us.

Ada's daily food artistry perfectly complemented days filled with exploring, activities, relaxing, sailing, secret snorkeling locations, searching for and finding pirate treasure, watching shooting stars and satellites at night, anchoring in secluded bays, guaranteed shark sightings.

All accompanied by a great playlist morning to night.
Finally, the daily briefings in native South african were the best!

Words cannot express how much we appreciate your kindness and sense of adventure this last week. We all made a memory and will always remember you.

-------------------

You both truly gave us an unforgettable experience. It was a pleasure getting to know you. I'll always remember the dinghy rides and the delightful exchanges on Channel 69
If you ever find yourselves in Denver you've got a place to stay.
Continue to pass on blessings.

Connnor and Ada, we couldn't have asked for a better week and you two are the reason why! Ada, your food is amazing.
Connor, you always found the best places to go with the best recommendations on the most fun things to do.
Thank you both so much for your hospitality and showing us around this absolutely amazing place. I can guarantee we will be back!

Thank you for an amazing trip. Your hospitality aboard the Libra was relaxing, fun and easy going.
Ada, your meals were amazing and full of flavor. We love your free spirit and fun personality.

Connor, we loved your quick witted humor and your knowledge of the islands. You have an easy and comfortable personality.
Love the both of you and wish you all the best in your future.
Hope to see you again sometime.

Thank you so much for an amazing week on Libra! We enjoyed many of our favorite beaches in the US Virgin Islands and have found some more favorites in the BVI! We have truly loved the relaxing times, fun watersports and exploring beaches and snorkeling. Thank you so much for your hardwork to make this week so special for us! There's truly no place I'd rather be than here celebrating my 40th birthday and Mother's Day .
You guys are amazing!

This has been such a wonderful week and is exactly what our family needed! Thank you for all the beautiful new coves you introduced us too. (Little Harbor and the Baths were my favorite) Thank you for all the wonderful meals! Thank you for the delicious cocktails, especially the Espresso martinis with orange!
Thank you for making so many fun memories for our kids and us! We wish you both the very best and know that you both have bright futures ahead! Hope to see you again.
