TESTIMONIALS

Every tour & luxurious stops were magnificent! Thank you! What a wonderful trip! We totally enjoyed sailing with our family & crew! The southern views over the top, so much fun! Thank you both for taking us to so many beautiful islands & giving us so many new experiences. We hope to sail with you again! Love, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Bill KP, Eli, Tom.

Magnificent!

Brilliant, extraordinary, outstanding, exceptional, really good! Exceeding expectations is always a good look and you guys are right on! I am so appreciated with the level of involved activities with family and friends. Always felt relaxed and looked after. We all always felt very safe. The meals, presentation and variety were excellent. The variety was my favorite part. All the best..

July 4th

Dearest Crew, What can we say except for the fact that we don’t want to leave! It has been an amazing time reconnecting with close friends and making new friendships with you both. Every day was a perfect day with snorkeling, relaxing, island hopping, sitting at the top chatting and getting some sun. I’m not sure how to amazingly put into words every day, but we will take the memories from this trip and enjoy them forever. You both have a place in our hearts and a house to stay in Gra.

April 2025

We will forever be changed after spending these last several days sailing with Nantes and Liam! This has been such a special way to celebrate a milestone birthday and share time together as a family before Roh heads to university. You have both been the most kind and gracious hosts and we will never forget it. We loved learning from you and hearing the amazing stories of your sailing + cooking adventures. Thank you thank you thank you for making this trip be both a rich experience and a relax.

22 FEB, 2025

Best sailing and cooking I’ve ever had on the ocean onboard Cocktails & Dreams! Also, thank you for teaching me how to play poker and blackjack, even is the greatest at it! — Micaela Hartley-Barbee.

Best sailing and cooking I’ve ever had

Thanks for letting me help with the boat driving and anchoring. It was very fun to learn how to drive the boat. Also thanks for the lucky glasses, probably wouldn’t have won without those. — Caden Butler.

2025 Trip

The mates above have said it all but thanks for showing us all your secrets. Please let us know when you are ready to see the ways of the great lakes!! 300 miles by 100 miles are the Lake Michigan dimensions. 1000 ft depth. Come see us! — Brian.

2025

I don’t even know where to begin. What an incredible trip. Thank you for helping us to create some unforgettable memories. Learning about how to navigate and sail the catamaran, stories, inspiration. Nantes, your energy, education, discussions, dinghy rides, multiple returns to the boat for forgotten items. Chef, the incredibly creative and tasteful foods, the presentation, variation and perfection..

Dear Crew,

From delicious food to capable skipping, to hospitality, most importantly, creative! You hosted the crystal blue memories for us & the kids. Thank you, thank you! Erick & Sharon Maddie 😊 10/10 – Neila.

10/10

Thank you for providing us with this trip that has provided beautiful memories for our family. We are truly thankful for guys and this trip would have significantly more dull without y’all. Liam’s cooking brightened our mornings and Nantes’s kind and made us feel welcome. Here’s one more dull joke; Why did the scarecrow get an award? He was outstanding in his field..

Dear Crew,

You guys are officially our favorite South Africans! Thank you for hosting our idyllic Caribbean journey. We love experiencing new things - 30kt winds, sea sickness, paradisical landscapes, turquoise blue waters. You both did a great job taking care of us & showing us BVI!.

You guys are officially our favorite South Africans!

Family of 8, ages from 20–64! Everyone's needs/wants were fulfilled. The crew was very attentive and knowledgeable. Great activities geared toward the interests of the group. Food! Lots of great food! Cheffy brought back conch and lobsters from an excursion and made the best lobster risotto on short notice! Lots of great dishes and desserts — out‑of‑this‑world double chocolate mousse! .

Best ever ever!

You are amazing! From the couple who charters their own boat — this was a very special experience for us! Nantes, what can I say? You are an incredible captain, very talented & calm in all states of the sea. (And that is coming from Chris who is an accomplished sailor for over 20 years!) Loved chatting with you on Sailing(!) And your DJ skills — incredible / good luck! Liam — your chef skills were amazing. The food absolutely delicious (perfectly cooked!), perfect proportions & perfect t.

Captain & Chef!

I would like to extend the biggest, heartfelt thank you to the both of you! Zipping around the BVIs on our one‑day charters always left me wanting something more. This week‑long charter was what my life found that was missing all these years! My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the memories that you’ve provided to my friends and myself. It will live forever inside my soul. Thank you both for expertly navigating us around the BVI, showing us everything — but also to dive from Scr.

Sunday June 15 – June 22

This was the best family vacation ever and all thanks to you two! Nantes, knowing all the great spots to hang out and where our favorite plays were — the baths, an Indians & Peter Island. Swimming with sea turtles & snorkeling! Chef Kipp — thank you for all the amazing meals! Best pulled pork & banana cream pie ever! We made some of the most incredible memories & will never forget the role you played in those memories! We hope to stay in touch for future adventures! We wish you both the be.

Dear Crew,

You know, for South Africans you are not that bad. Great week and a great time and thank you for taking such good care of this crazy crew. It was a great week. As a fellow captain and chef, I would sail with you both anytime. Cheers and good seas, Carl & D’Anne P.S. Come visit Monticello, Danvers..

You know, for South Africans you are not that bad.

Best days of our lives! We have been so blessed with the best friends + best crew! Nantes + Liam gave us the greatest trip. It was healing + bonding and something we will remember until the end of time. — Megan .

Best days of our lives!

We love y’all! Thanks Liam for cooking amazing food + Nantes for scheduling the best trip ever! We couldn’t have had a better vacation thanks to you two. Hope to do this trip again one day. BEST TRIP EVER — Best, Madeleine + Rob.

We love y’all!

The most amazing week! Liam and Nantes thank you so much for showing us the best time — everything was so perfect!.

Thank you for showing us the best time

Thank you for providing us with a trip that has provided bountiful memories for our family. We are truly thankful — you guys made this week! We would have been more dull without y’all’s jokes! Liam’s dad jokes every morning (and Nantes’) plus made us feel welcome. Here’s the “dad joke” of the week: Why did the scarecrow get an award? He was outstanding in his field..

Dear Nantes and Liam,

Thank you Nantes for being a great captain and taking me to the wakeboard for the first time. I had a blast! You guys are so fun and lively, and now I’ll start saying lekker all the time 😄 Also thanks for helping with all my injuries 😊 — Gisella (+ sea urchin).

Nantes

In-love with getting to know you both better. I will let you know when I’m in South Africa — you both are journeying very well. Thank you for this atmosphere. All the best ♥️ — Mandie.
