June 2022 USVI Charter
Bubba and Heather were wonderful hosts!
We so enjoyed their company. I'm not sure it's even possible for Heather to cook a bad meal! Their trip was truly a unique experience and one I will think fondly of for the rest of my life!
This trip was so fun!
The food was awesome and they are so accommodating to everyone's needs. We went snorkeling almost every day and swam with turtles. Heather and Bubba are such a sweet couple and have 100% become my besties.
You guys made our family escape a super success! We so needed to get away as a family and Tortuga made it possible, taking us on with almost no notice. You met and exceeded our expectations! Food was awesome and trip/route planning was geared to our interests. We wish you both the very best in the future and great success where life takes you!

Dear Tim & Siboney,
Thank you both so very much for making our vacation on board Tortuga so special and full of fond memories! We haven't stopped thinking about our time with you and the gorgeous USVI since we got home, and we continue to look at our pictures and reminisce.
Tim, your experience and expertise as a captain and sincere desire to make sure we experienced as much as possible in a short week (including so many beautiful beaches) made us feel safe and special. You clearly paid attention to our likes and dislikes, and to every detail on the boat. You carefully studied weather conditions and forecasts to avoid too much wind and rough waters when choosing an itinerary, and you constantly checked with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, all of which made for a perfect charter. And when you were able to relax, we loved getting to know you better. Some of our fondest memories are of our after-dinner chats among all six of us.
Siboney, you are amazing. Not only was every single meal that we had beyond delicious, your energy, creativity and obvious love of cooking was over the top. And all from a small galley! It was clear to us how much you enjoy making your guests feel comfortable and special. Not only did you feed us like kings and queens, but you were a fantastic first mate/mooring ball expert. You and Tim make a great team!
When the charter began, we were excited about the week ahead but didn't know what to expect. However, at the end we left feeling like close friends and with a new and wonderful perspective on sailing in the Caribbean. It far exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to do it again with you! Please feel free to share our message with anyone as we can’t recommend a charter with y’all more.
Your grateful friends,
Carolyn and Bruce

Wow!! What a treat this week has been. The catamaran was fantastic. The food was beyond great. The snorkeling, beach time and relaxation were just perfect. Time and Siboney were the best host and hostess.

The perfect hosts, perfect weather. And he food!! oh my goodness Siboney has found her calling. The guys loved their scuba trips and we all loved the snorkeling with Captain Tim. He found such amazing spots to stop and moor for the evening and nights. Thank you so much you were such a blessing to us. Safe travels.
