Reviews

January 2025

Our family couldn't have asked for a more magical way to explore BVI. Rob has a gift for find the perfect spot to moor and we were lucky enough to see so many turtles & tropical fish while enjoying playing in the water. Rob’s love for being a captain is evident in the way he explains each new place, the planning he puts into choosing a location, the ease in which he maneuvers the boat: not to mention the expertise in making delicious cocktail. Ariq’s food was incredible. Each of our family of 6 had a different favorite meal, and all agree that we had the best tiramisu of our lives. Ariq and Rob took such great care of our family and have a wonderful, funny dynamic that added more joy and laughter to such an amazing experience. Thank you both so much!

Best Boat Experience Ever!! The hospitality that we were greeted with was unmatched. Ariq was the best chef, and Rob knows how to make a mean Espresso Martini. I can honestly say the crew made our trip. We all had a great time. The BVI is incredibly beautiful. We are very grateful to have had this experience and share it with this dynamic duo. Not only were they attentive to our every need, but both Rob and Ariq bring a lot of personality. It wouldn’t have been the same without them. Ask Ariq for the Caprese and the mango BBQ. They’re amazing. And make sure to ask Rob for his life story. Would love to come back.

Best Christmas Ever!!! This trip was amazing! Our family enjoyed every day. We made so many wonderful memories we will always treasure. We decided that Peter Island was our favorite stop, the snorkeling was the best! So many fish and even a spotted eagle ray. We loved going to Willy T's and jumping off the boat. We also loved Tipsy’s. Such a great bar with good drinks, great music, and the owners were so kind. Our captain, Rob, was so good and took great care of us. Our chef, Ariq, made so many delicious meals for us! 5 stars on everything he made. We cannot thank Rob and Ariq enough for such a wonderful week of fun and adventure—truly a unique trip. We hope to do it again in the future!

I don’t really know where to start, but I will say that I’m 100% “touched” by the way Rob and Jorja took care of us the entire trip. They truly have the heart of a servant and made our trip one that we will never forget!! All of the Crecion family: Celia, Adam, Kayla, James, Peter, Lucas and Sevilla truly and from the bottom of our hearts thank Rob and Jorja for making this past week an experience we will never forget!!

Super proud to be the fourth charter! Trip of a lifetime!

Thank you gentlemen for helping us capture everything the BVI's have to offer. You left no stone unturned.

The service, food and especially the stories with those fabulous smiles made everyday magical.

We will be back!!

July 2024

Our family had a great time! We enjoyed the Virgin Islands and all the beautiful beaches and places we visited. Rob & Ariq were very nice and helped in everything!

The food was delicious, Ariq is a pro! They made special accommodations for someone with dietary restrictions and that was very nice.

it was our first charter experience and we will repeat it in the future!

July 2024

Hands down the 2 most talented, extraordinary, magnificent crew ever - Captain Rob & Chef Ariq!

1 week of sailing, exploring and eating amazing food has built memories, opened hearts and minds to possibilities, and deepened relationships with family, including crew.

As we laughed, played and relaxed, Captain Rob and Chef Ariq shared their stories, their talents and their wisdom!

Never have I ever chartered a boat - I would do it again - as this is now the way! And without hesitation - charter with Captain Rob & Chef Ariq - #1 Crew!!

June 2024

Captain Rob & Super Chef Ariq rocked our 5 day sailing escape in the BVI. Rob steered us through waves with the finesse of a sea ninja, making sure we felt like salty pirates on a grand voyage. Ariq whipped up the most scrumptious grub. From plotting our course to blending the perfect sunset cocktails, this team knew how to sprinkle magic to our days at sea. We felt like pampered rockstars aboard thanks to the top-notch service and contagious enthusiasm of Rob & Ariq. Every sunset felt like a scene from a movie. We left the yacht with full hearts and happy bellies.

June 2024

Our sincerest thank you to Rob & Ariq for making this week memorable.

Ariq's food was definitely one of the highlights - from delicious steak that reminded us of home to delicious snapper, tacos, salmon and more. We finished each meal with an amazing dessert, a full stomach and a happy heart.

Rob always managed to pick the best spots and showed us the magic of the BVI. Peter Island was one of the highlights where we all got to swim with the turtles.

Thank you both for making us feel at home and treating us so well, we don't want to go home!

May 2024

What an incredible vacation! Rob and Ariq spoiled our entire family so we could enjoy this amazing vacation. So many laughs, good bays, good drinks and amazing food! Hands down THE BEST VACATION!

These men were an incredibly skilled crew that made us feel right at home.

There isn't a mooring ball these men couldn't catch! They made sure our every need was taken care of! We had the best vacation ever!

March 2024

The crew were safe, thoughtful, accommodating, friendly, smart, and knowledgeable. Particularly competent both at seamanship and handling our culinary needs.

Chef Ariq was superb--a real highlight. Accommodated everyone's food desires, provided 3 nutritious and delicious meals a day, was organized and had lunches and dinners on the table exactly when we wanted them--and could offer early or late breakfast as long as it fit into Captain Rob's sail plan for the day. Would happily sail with him again; we all gained weight.

Captain Rob was great at turning our misty 28 year old memories of our last trip into a real itinerary for this trip--and doing safely and with a flare; and Chef Ariq was an awesome star in the galley.
