Dear Brett Ronnie Jaime and Elena,

No words could have sufficiently prepared us for what a spectacular week this has been!

This was truely a once in a life-time vacation - unbelievable views, gorgeous sunsets, and breath-taking sailing!

The "smalls" have been so blessed by your hospitality, enthusiasm and kindness. Will any other vacation suffice after this week in the BVI's? Have a wonderful holiday and come to visit us in Colarado for horse-back riding, skiing and hiking, you're always more than welcome!

Many thanks and appreciation!

Gerald & Kylee, Sam, Ben, Victoria, Josh, Caroline and Cam.

Dear Brett, Ronni, Jaime and Elena, No one sentence or word could summarise how amazing this vacation was. After this vacation it is going to be hard to even be remotely excited for other trips. The food was outstanding. It can be easily said that I gained a couple of pounds. I wouldn't be surprised if I starve myself when I get back because the cooking here has spoiled me. Akasha and the crew has found a place in my heart. Roni, the food was amazing, if you wanted, you could probably have your own show. Brett, thanks for being patient with us and the smalls. Elena, snorkeling was awesome and I don't know how you keep this place clear. Jaime, thanks for taking me tubing & you have a good sense of humor. From, Ben.

In a word, fantastic!  We loved every minute.  The crew and cuisine were excellent.  We would love to sail with them again.

When we found out we were heading to the West Indies on our vacation we were intrigued, enchanted, excited, ebullient but we realized the truly enchanting, exciting, etc. part of the trip was going to be the crew of the AKASHA almost immediately upon boarding.  The landscape of the islands and ocean was gorgeous, but your warmth and enthusiasm made the vacation utterly unforgettable.

Truly the AKASHA is filled with unique people who are all excellent.  We had an amazing experience.

Thanks for a fabulous trip!  It was better than we could have ever imagined.  The crew, food and hospitality was amazing.  Its like you are all psychic and know what we want before we do!  The boat is a 20 on a scale of 1 10.  You are also the fittest crew of the Nestle boats.  Good looking, too. 

All our love, Mary and John

What a time!  Barbara and I had the time of our lives.  Fun, fun, remarkable food and drinks.  Times go and come but great people that enter your life last forever.  Heres hoping our paths cross again.  Great people and great couples.  Thanks, thanks, thanks.

Their trip was terrific!  They said the boat and crew are outstanding.  Captain Brett is very knowledgeable about local waters.  Chef Ronnie prepared delicious meals and talked to the guests about what she was preparing a nice touch.  All agreed the yacht is amazing.

Party of 9, late November 2006, BVIs

Brett, Ronnie, Dylan & Mariette,

What a fantastic week. You somehow managed to show us so much of this lovely and magical place in one week.   It pays to have a great captain like Captain Brett to know all the "can't miss" spots - especially Anegada and our "traditional" lobster dinner at Bones Beach - that was great!  We all enjoyed the diving, courtesy of Dylan and will look back on each one as an incredible treat.  The food was fantastic - thank you so much Ronnie!! We are unable to pick one meal as the best - since they were all SO delicious!  It was so wonderful being pampered and taken care of - thank you Mariette!! We were truly spoiled on this trip.  Happy Sailing !

Thanks again for a wonderful experience aboard AKASHA.  We greatly appreciated your efforts to make every detail of our trip enjoyable. All the best !

Fantastic experience . . my only complaint is that this boat and this crew are not mine!  One word, superb.  What an experience - with a crew that must be one of the best in the Caribbean.

We had six nights and five days of pleasure.  The food was beyond belief!  Such great fun snorkeling, skiing, great music and finally the crew - Brett, Veronica, Dylan & Mariette such great hosts, nothing too much bother, an experience to be remembered.

I cant think of how the experience could be improved.  Fantastic.

I have travelled many places & experienced many things. I have been all over the Caribbean and stayed in many luxurious places. This trip has been wonderful & exceeded what I expected. But what really makes this trip stand out is the privilege of meeting you! You have touched our lives in a personal way that will never be forgotten.
Jim & Leslie

Thank you all for a trip that I will be unable to describe upon returning home. You left nothing to be desired, we cannot imagine a better trip under any circumstances. You made us feel so welcome & at home & we felt we had been friends from the start. I have never seen an operation run so smoothly & organised so well! You can now add eight names from Southern Illinois to your already endless number of friends.
Dale & Sherry

What an experience, everything was amazing! Thank you for making our adventure fun and relaxing! The best lunches and the gin & tonics brought by tender to the beach, truly outstanding! All in all, your special touches made all the difference!

Thank you so much for making our trip more than we ever dreamed! The scuba was super, the boat fantastic and every meal was wonderful. You are simply poetry in motion. It was an absolute privilege to spend a week with you. We look forward to seeing you again.
Randy & Nancy

How does a person describe an incredibly magical, breathtaking experience? I'm going to try.
30 years ago I came to these islands and now I return. I find the memories from that time being completely unaware of time, news, current events, have not changed. Our crew made sure we had the time to enjoy it all, the scenery, the environment, by catering to all our needs. Simply put, the best service I've ever had.
