Escape in Luxury with Crewed Yacht Charters

Our experience on the Merry Time vessel was first class. To begin, Kayleigh was an amazing broker. She made every aspect of the trip straight forward. Traveling (especially during the Dr times) can be stressful but the process was well spelled-out and very straightforward.

The catamaran was new and worked well in every aspect. It was clean, efficient, and well laid out. We specifically researched the Bali design and appreciated the open floor plan and bow lounging area. The amenities and gear were all in top shape.

The crew was also top-tier. I’ve already recommended the catamaran and entire experience to friends.

Barefoot Bliss lives up to its name! The team of Captain Cam and First Mate Sam spoiled us rotten. Which was not easy with a family of voracious teens to crusty octogenarians. Capt. Cam mapped out an optimal route through the many gorgeous islands of the BVI with good humor and calm aplomb, and Sam made me gain a couple of pounds with her pretty, scrumptious meals.

The finest family vacation ever!

What a fabulous trip!! First of all, thank you for coming to the boat to wish us off on our trip. It was a pleasure meeting you and loved seeing your son. Sorry our visit was short but we appreciate you making the effort.

I can not even put into words how fantastic the trip was from start to finish. Well worth the wait! The boat was perfect for our family but Umberto and Judith made the entire trip even more special. They are kind, generous and a delight to spend time with. This trip will be one our boys remember their entire lives and we hope another charter is in our future!

Thank you for sticking with us through the crazy three year journey-you were wonderful to work with and I appreciate your support throughout the process.

First time chartering in the BVI and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The Gypsy Princess is a beautiful boat, impeccably appointed and maintained, with adequate cabin space and abundant outdoor areas.

The destinations were everything we had hoped for: a nice blend of tranquil solitude and a chance to let loose at a few hot spots. Likewise with the activities, which they adapted along the way: a little lounging, a lot of snorkeling, some hiking and even some waterskiing and paddle boarding.

Kayleigh Starkey went above and beyond each and every day. They made us feel at home from the moment we stepped aboard. Both are incredibly warm and pretty darn funny! The food and libations were fresh, local and innovative - far exceeding anything we'd had on land.

It's amazing what Kayleigh can present with the limited galley space. And somehow, between piloting the boat, guiding various adventures and keeping us fed (and never thirsty!) the rooms were cleaned each morning, every surface of the boat polished and beds turned down at night. They worked hard to ensure we had the best vacation ever, and succeeded. Can't wait to go back!

Thank you for following up after our incredible trip to the USVI. I am most grateful for all you did to guide me through the various twists and turns we encountered over four+ months of planning and execution! You are so professional and personable, Kayleigh, and I am truly grateful to have worked with you. A number of friends knew about our trip, and I ran into several of them today. I was raving about you as well as Relentless and the crew! Of course, several of them had a preview, compliments of Brooke and Grace’s postings on Instagram. Don’t be surprised if you hear from some of them this year.

Our week was flawless. Great boat, even greater crew. Kyle and Tilly should be on your Platinum List of best crew.

We had the absolute best time!!! GW and I have been on 6 other charters and none of them compare to the experience we had on Gullwing. The yacht is so nice and well equipped, but the real stars are Will, Anna, and Alicia!! The level of service, the deliciousness of the food and drinks, and absolute entertainment was unparalleled. We can’t wait to go back! Thanks so much!

Our Crew of 8 just returned from a week aboard Amaya. I can not begin to tell you how wonderful the entire charter went. Every single meal was outstanding including the snacks in between. Our expertly charted week could not have gone better. Biff, Amy and Piers know the BVI inside and out and they way they planned our every minute was absolute perfection. We had the ideal mix of solitude and party fun all rolled expertly into one unforgettable week. I would also like to brag on Kayleigh from Horizon Yacht Charters. Not only did she help coordinate us to ultimately choose Amaya she actually took the time to come meet us on departure day. She was attentive throughout the process before, during and after. I always felt I had an avenue to answer questions or requests. I speak on behalf of our whole party when I tell you this was the best vacation of our lives.

To say travelling with Horizon Yacht Charters was the TRIP OF A LIFETIME would be an understatement. It is hard to explain how amazing this trip was. from my first phone call with Kayleigh, I knew i was in expert hands.

She walked me through every detial and set us with the perfect crew - Biff & Amy, who were the dream team - Captain and Chef. They treated us like ROYALTY for 7 days, taking us to a new island every day, giving us new experiences every day and making sure we packed in as much sailing and adventure as we possibly could in the time we had.

And good heavens - THE FOOD - Gourmet all the way. I just cannot say enough great things about Horizon Yacht charters, Kayleigh our booking agent, or our crew Biff & Amy! First Class, Five Star Experience!

Thanks to Kayleigh for helping us find the right boat and crew for our trip. Oui Cherie was superb to sail, the BVI is truly stunning and Corrai and Martyna were the perfect skipper/ hostess combination. Great sailing, snorkelling trips, paddle boarding, restaurants, pirate shows, water skiing, board games, lots of laughs and of course those “cookies’ were all part of the package. We had a fantastic time and loved every minute of our time in the BVI.
