70th Birthday Trip of a Lifetime!

We just got back from a Bucket List trip for my 70th Birthday Celebration aboard Angeleyes in the BVIs. My husband and I and eight of our closest friends enjoyed a week of yacht life. Kevin Jonas from Mainsail was super responsive in helping us plan a trip we will always remember. We were then left in the capable hands of the Angeleyes crew of Captain Darrell, Chef Jenn, and First Mates Jenni and Chris. Every meal was presented with phenomenal table decorations, and the culinary experience was second to none. Each day, we were given options on what we would like to explore in BVI, and we enjoyed each unique experience that was suggested. The week exceeded ours and our guests’ expectations. We would highly recommend Mainsail Yachts and especially the Angeleyes crew for the trip of a lifetime!

It was AMAZING. We ALL had a total blast.

It was AMAZING. We ALL had a total blast. Heiko, Rebecca, and Maia were simply the best. Maia’s food was great, and she really was the perfect chef for us. Lots of seafood and veggies. All delicious! Plus, Maia is adorable and always cheerful. Heiko is a superlative captain – so steady and uber-responsible. He also was a great tour guide in general. His love for snorkeling and everything in the sea was contagious, and he took us to many out of the way snorkeling spots. I think my youngest grandson (10) wants to be just like Heiko when he grows up. 😂. Heiko really planned the perfect itinerary for our family. I feel like the activities, sailing, etc. were perfectly paced for all. Rebecca is an amazing woman. Just so terrific, kind, and interesting. She took such good care of us every single day. Both Heiko and she always made sure Ed (89) felt safe, particularly getting on and off the dinghy. We kayaked, snorkeled, paddle-boarded, tubed, and in general spent a ton of time in the water. The boat was very comfortable, including the beds. The weather was terrific. The food was delicious. The crew was A+. The trip exceeded my expectations, and they were very high to begin with. It was a great family celebration, and we will always remember it as a very special and fun adventure. Though Ed didn’t do the water activities, he also really loved the trip. Thanks for your help in planning a terrific vacation.

Highly recommend using Mainsail Charters to book your trip

Just returned from a 7-day charter to BVI’s with Capt Nate and Chef Makayla onboard Ithaka, a 54’Bali. Makayla was an awesome chef, preparing excellent meals, even making exceptions with dietary restrictions for some of our group. Capt Nate was the best tour guide, giving us options/suggestions for all our stops. He also was a great bartender. Kevin with Mainsail was great to work with also, highly recommend using him to book your trip. Will definitely book with him for our next trip!

Family of four had the most amazing and relaxing spring break!

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!

Don’t miss out on an amazing experience!

My family and I did a seven-day charter with Knot5280 in BVI and it was amazing! Holly and Joe were fabulous, great food, knowledge and service. Kevin was great to work with, responsive and prompt in communication from the beginning. Don’t miss out on an amazing experience! Will definitely be chartering again! Thanks Kevin, Holly and Joe!

10 out of 10

Just wrapped up a 7 night sail on Touch the Sky! 10 out of 10! The boat was so spacious for a group of 10. Never felt crowded and we were all able to hang out together or separate if we wished. The food was amazing! Hillary and Nate were great and lovely people to spend the week with. Sailing is one of my favorite vacations and this past week was perfect. Thanks Kevin!!!
