I would like to thank you for your assistance and support. This was our first charter and therefore an unknown experience. Picking a charter company and a boat on the internet is a little concerning the first time as you are talking about a reasonable sum paid in advance with someone unknown. Your industry knowledge, open, candid and professional style helped make this process relatively easy for me. In my opinion, you shared the pros and cons of the options and did not try to apply pressure. I will certainly come back to you if we have future needs and will recommend others to do the same . You helped make a special occasion very enjoyable and very memorable. Keep up the good work!

The Motu experience was the best vacation I have taken. First, simply being on a boat living in luxury with the flexibility to roam wherever your heart pleases may just be the perfect combination.

We did the BVI's under the Motu, a 60 foot cat that is in excellent condition. There are four rooms each with showers and a toilet. There is an upper deck and lots of space. Additionally, there are fun toys like the waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, kayaking, snorkeling, exploring, hiking, fishing and of course sailing.

Captain Luc and Freddie were dynamite. Freddie is one of the best cooks I know. She made mostly French food and we drank exclusively French wine, but it was all for the best. A cooler full of beer and a BBQ on the back of the boat topped it off.

We saw most of the BVI's including Anegada in one week. But you will want to stay longer! The crew went head over heels and were fun to hang out with.

If I had one complaint it is that the cat is not the best sailing boat, it is more for luxury. If you plan on doing long sails and are into that, you may want to go with a monohaul. But you really can't complain when you have the space and luxury. DO IT!

Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with during my stay in Mauritius. I had to hire a boat to accommodate a very particular crowd with rater odd requests. I must have called Peter 1000X asking him for another favor, I was just waiting for him to say enough is enough, but he worked with me through the entire affair, checking in to make sure everything went and was going okay.

Peter goes above and beyond the required and I recommend him and his services to anyone who visits Mauritius.

I came across the BoatBookings.com website and was thoroughly impressed on the amount of information and the customer service. Sharon returned my emails very promptly and gave me all of the information that I needed. She also made me feel very comfortable when I was unsure about things. She was accommodating and found us the vacation we had always hoped for.

Thank you for a true vacation. I came back so relaxed and revived, more than I have ever experienced before. Our trip started on a Friday, and by Monday morning we could not remember what day it was, Brian and I are typically fairly time conscious so this was showed how truly relaxed we were.

Overall there is no way to put into words what our time on Paradise was like, and what Ruth and Bernd were like to be around. Ruth, Bernd, and Paradise were too amazing to allow anyone to get a good picture from a few words. If I was to touch on everything that made the vacation so special I would need a whole book. All I can do is recommend anyone who is contemplating a vacation on Paradise is to stop contemplating it and book it now; you don't want to miss out on an opportunity like this.

Thanks again for a fantastic days sailing in Cannes which really brought our management team together. The whole experience of dealing with boat bookings was stress free from start to finish.

After stumbling across Boatbookings.com on Google I sent an initial e-mail and was called back very promptly by Peter who took the time to listen to what I wanted and was able to suggest two or three boats for the day at pretty short notice and within my budget, which were able to be viewed there and then online.

The skipper was friendly and very experienced and suggested an excellent restaurant for lunch. He even arranged for the sun to shine and the wind to blow so that the sailing was first class, but I do understand that this is not guaranteed!

I manage sales people for a living so I notice the standard of service I receive and on this occasion I was very impressed and have bookmarked Boatbookings.com for the next time I need a boat. A Regional Manager for a top 20 Pharmaceuticals Company

Many thanks for all your kind assistance - we found the Oceanis 411 the perfect venue for our stay in Cannes (both in terms of the boat and its facilities and its location). We look forward to seeing you again next year.,

May I take this opportunity to say an enormous thank you for the way that your company dealt with a rather difficult situation in respect of my boat hire for my stag weekend in Majorca.

As you know I had booked 31 ft Sunseeker for 1 day as the high point of my stag weekend. Your colleague Ashley telephoned me on the day that the 6 of us arrived in Majorca at 8 pm with the worst news possible, that the boat had been broken or damaged by the people that had hired it on that day. This for me was a disaster as this was the main reason for all 6 of us to be in Majorca. Clearly I was very disappointed and made it clear that I would look to your company to supply a replacement boat.

At 9.30 Am on Saturday I received a call on my mobile from Ashley, needless to say I was prepared for the worst news. However Ashley made both my day and my friends day with the news that a 41 ft Cranchi was waiting for us with a skipper at no extra cost over the initial fee paid for the 31 ft Sunseeker.

What followed was one of the most enjoyable days of our lives, the skipper Tomeo was wonderfully friendly and provided us with a fantastic itinerary and had the boat fully stocked with refreshments when we arrived. The boat totally exceeded our expectations and my Stag weekend was a total success. My thanks again to both you for "saving the day" A Stag Party Customer in Palma

"I just want to thank you for all your hard work in setting up my wife and I on one hell of a day. The boat was fantastic, the weather and scenery were beautiful. You really made it a special day by going that extra mile in securing a reasonably priced boat for my wife and I to take out and enjoy ourselves. I will defiantly be using your services again when my friends and I head off to the Caribbean next year and will be in direct contact with you since you were such a pleasure to work with." A customer who rented a powerboat in Cannes during his honeymoon.
