“Simply Outstanding!!!”
We had the pleasure of chartering Blue Pepper for a week this June for our family of 5 + two teenage friends. The kids ranged from 13-20 years old, 2 girls and 3 boys. In the past we have been lucky enough to go on many yacht trips in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, primarily on boats in the 150’-200’ range.
Our experience on Blue Pepper was exceptional. While Blue Pepper itself is very nice, new, comfortable, nice linens, well equipped with large outdoor seating area, the service is really what set the trip apart. The crew was not only capable and professional but they worked really hard to provide thoughtful and unique experiences. The crew was kind, genuine, fun, service oriented and a true pleasure to be around.
Starting with the chef, Denise, who is a Brazilian energizer bunny with a passion for life. Her culinary skills were amazing and on par if not better than the much larger yachts that we have been on. The flavors, presentation and absolute attention to detail made a huge difference in our trip. She was always catering to the individual tastes of each guest, far beyond what was expected. Also, we really enjoyed hearing her crazy life stories as icing on the cake!
Captain Taylor is a professional who is a truly a boy at heart. He really made it a trip of a lifetime for our kids. He was always coming up with the next thing for them to do, taking them inner tubing, off road atving, fishing, snorkeling, on adventures around an island, etc. Also, I think he was having as much fun as our kids were. He is just a great guy.
Liz the stewardess, is a sweetheart, always quietly there to cater to all of your needs, constantly keeping the boat and cabins in immaculate condition. Never intrusive but always there in the background to ensure the service was great.
In the end it was hard for us to leave as we felt that Denise, Taylor and Liz were part of our family. I highly recommend them for your next charter experience.
The crew on Blue Pepper was outstanding. The crew and the boat were perfect for this trip (in May time) and we couldn’t be happier. As you know, the crew is always the difference maker. We were a family charter with kids, the kids loved it. Overall the spirit and the energy of the crew was superb for our family. Thanks Boatbookings team for recommending. We better understand how you know the crews of the boats and why you guide us to the best choice.
Everything was really perfect! To the Crew - your attention and your care for all the details made our trip memorable. Chef Rich offered us amazing food, Captain Nick chased me seriously for snorkeling, Megan took excellent care of all our needs and Blaine was always here to help! You are a SUPER team!! Thank you very much. Knowledgeable recommendation by Boatbookings.
Cruising on Altesse is the trip of a lifetime! The combination of adventure and luxury... the food, the fun, the crew... the sailing, diving, water skiing, tubing... did I mention the food and drinks... put this vacation experience at the VERY TOP of our list. We will charter Altesse again... guaranteed! Looking forward to our next adventure with Stefan and Chloe and the BEST Lagoon 560 in the BVI! Boatbookings did a marvelous job with everything!
Our experience of Boatbookings, namely our Broker, was exceptional. You provided detailed and quick responses to our questions over and above other providers. The yacht manager was extremely good, the team there are helpful, and friendly. We will definitely come back to you with our next requirements.
It was a great charter. The crew tried very hard to accommodate all of our requests – we had terrific weather and the boat is quite comfortable and clean. We loved India – she is a gem. The kids loved getting to know someone who is their age and doing exciting things! What a good fortune.
Thanks Boatbookings for your help with organizing the week!
ALTESSE is a beautiful boat for 4 couples to have an absolute blast! Thank you to Richard and Sarah for taking such good care of us. Richard, you made sure we were safe and Sarah, you fed us amazing food all week!
Thank you for the most wonderful week in the BVI. Every second was a blast! The crew were the perfect hosts and we look forward to sailing with you again!
The most amazing start to a year anyone could dream of - thank you. We have been absolutely spoilt rotten by your food, hospitality and endless activities for the boys and you have chosen a spectacular backdrop for showcasing your skills. Whether swimming with turtles, stingrays or tarpons, tubing or snorkelling on incredible reefs, we had a series of unforgettable experiences.
Thank you so much, we can`t wait to come back!
