TESTIMONIALS
We recently returned from an amazing week aboard with CJ & Tilley. They were incredible hosts, exceeding our expectations! Tilley was so thoughtful, adding special touches to ensure we had a wonderful time - e.g. making my birthday celebration special, having chocolate martinis waiting for us upon return from a trip onshore, etc. We all agreed that Tilley's Painkillers were much better than any others we had at the various stops. CJ created a great itinerary of snorkeling stops, an island .
Phenominal Week Aboard with CJ & Tilley
We spent an amazing week on aboard for my husband's 50th birthday. CJ and Tilley were great hosts and went over and above to make sure we had a wonderful trip. We had just the right mix of activity and relaxing. The boat was clean and comfortable and more than enough room for our party of 6 people. CJ gave us options every day for our next adventure and Tilley made great meals for us. Our favorite part of the day was planning our next meal with her. 🙂 She also went out of her way to accommodate.
Wonderful week
We had an amazing family spring break trip with CJ and Tilley. Before we even landed back home, all three kids were begging us to book again for next year. For each of our days on the boat, CJ and Tilley worked with us to create the experience we wanted to have that day. They found great places to snorkel, built an itinerary that allowed us to meet up with friends, created opportunities for us to try water sports and took us to secluded beaches we could enjoy as a family. Tilley prepared incr.
The best family trip
Our recent vacation aboard Utopia was a dream come true! CJ and Tilley were the best hosts and made sure we had anything we ever wanted. I initially had no idea what to expect but in the end I was blown away and consider it the best vacation I have ever been on!!.
Best vacation of my life!!
Coming at the low season was absolutely the way to go- amazing weather, no crowds! We had a spectacular week, with Travis and Mirvet spoiling us the whole time. Travis found the best spots for snorkeling and exploring the islands. Mirvet made us the best food and anticipated all our needs, even when we didn’t know we needed something. We were celebrating 3 milestone birthdays and an anniversary and Mirvet was there with cards, decorations and a cake! All of us on the trip agreed that we would .
Trip of a lifetime!
This is our third trip on the Utopia. Every single time has been an incredible adventure with new places to see and new things to do! We have done the BVI’s, USVI’s and the Puerto Rican islands. Captain Jake was a wizard at the helm and took us to one beautiful place after another. The scuba, snorkeling, beaches or just swimming around the boat were all fantastic. The boat is very comfortable, beautifully decorated and well thought out. There were 6 of us on the last trip and 7 the trip befo.
AMAZING ADVENTURE!
6 of us stayed on Utopia recently and what an experience. We’ve never sailed or been to the BVI’s before so everything was new. Captain Jake and Chef Richard made us feel right at home right away with great food, conversation and great music. Jake took time as we were sailing to point out historical events around the islands which was awesome. His knowledge of where to go to see the best things wether it’s snorkelling, beaches , fishing or dancing was immense. Numerous dance parties were .
Amazing Experience!
This was my first sailing trip ever! … and I had a blast! I’m no sailor, and I did not grow up near the ocean. Needless to say, I was nervous before the trip. …. I just didn’t know what to expect. Would I get seasick? Would I feel trapped on a boat? ( more like a yacht) would I be responsible for putting up the sails? Well, I’ll tell you! I did NOT get seasick and I did not have to do anything but have fun. It’s a catamaran, which is a smoother ride, in fact, my favorite part of the .
First Time Sailing!
What a spectacular vacation!! Had the best time ever. Highly recommend this trip on the Utopia. Our Captain Jake made the trip. His knowledge of the BVI and all the right spots to see and explore, helped make it fantastic time. Not to mention, tons of fun and dancing…..be sure and ask him to show you a few moves! 😜 Our chef Janine prepared amazing meals and is just such a special person! Miss you guys like crazy, you can count on seeing us again! Your adopted Mama Now, don’t do anyt.
THE boat to take!
Absolutely the most relaxing week we had!! Captain Jake took us to amazing spots and great snorkel reefs. He is a very talented and safe captain always watching his guests and commanding his boat. He has a wide variety of song lists that fits the mood of the day or evening! His dancing abilities are phenomenal and we had so much fun! Chef Janine prepared and presented our meals with such class like you see in magazines that can't be real. She always accommodated our needs with food options if .
Bucket List. Must do it again!
We are a group of eight who have travelled together frequently several times on cruise ships. The Utopia is obviously much more intimate and much less crowded and we had a blast to say the least.From the time we were welcomed on board by our crew Captain Jake and our chef Janine we felt like family.Jake was an excellent captain who really took pride in his work and responsibility’s. Our safety always seemed to be his top priority.He also was very knowledgeable about our itinerary and he really.
Group of 8 great friends from Ohio!
Utopia was a week of fun and adventure around every corner. We spent a glorious week with friends aboard Utopia. I had never been on a crewed charter before and I loved every second of it. It was true relaxation. Everything was planned out and taken care of beforehand by the captain and options for day trips, restaurants and activities that I didn’t even know existed were offered. The food was amazing and the chef made every meal an experience. I loved that our preferences for food and drin.
