Personality: Tim and Zara were super receptive to our family`s objectives for the trip. They tailored it based on feedback I gave them ahead of time and then made some adjustments on the fly. Beyond that, they were just fun people. For example, one of our kids is really into planes, and Tim took us to some sunken planes to dive on.
Food: The food was incredible. Whether it was the breakfasts, lunches, or dinners, I can’t say enough about the quality and variety.
The Boat: The boat was clean, well-decorated, and comfortable. I liked the layout and the ease of use of the various “toys” on the boat.
Bottom line: we were looking for a trip of adventure, nature, and family time, and Ocelot and the team definitely delivered. Thank you Boatbookings, professional with lots of knowledge on the best boats and crews.
Hazel Della was wonderful!
Captain Jeremy got us to all the best spots; private beach areas, excellent snorkling spots, a scuba dive at a magnificient coral reef and a picturesque sandbar. Chef Kylie made us so sad to go home. Her meals and drinks were on point. This will be a trip we will never forget!
Thank you Boatbookings and LAMIMA for giving us such a wonderful experience in your magical islands. All of the crew were magnificent and made us feel so special. We were all able to try new and challenging activities in a safe and encouraging environment. Well done to you all!
To our LAMIMA crew, what an amazing time we have had on this trip! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality - nothing was too much trouble for you!! We are filled with gratitude for all the experiences - the beaches, the dives & snorkelling, the water activities with fabulous toys, the food and entertainment..... the list goes on! Thank you Boatbookings for guiding us to LAMIMA to explore Raja Ampat.
To our lovely LAMIMA crew; thank you for sharing your magical underwater world of colour and wonder. Thank you for the jungle walks and claims, songbirds and amazing views. But most of all thank you for sharing your incredible hospitality, your grace and your smiles. You made this beautiful boat our special home for an unforgettable week!
We had a great time! Captain Jamie and Martin were very easy to work with and lots of fun. We enjoyed getting to know them. The yacht worked well and the food was yummy and thoughtfully prepared. Both Jamie and Martin worked at making it a really special trip for us. They were flexible and creative with their suggestions and we managed to get a lot of swim time in. The accommodations were excellent!
This BVI experience is KNOT what we expected... it was so much more!! Joe and Holly, you two are the perfect seafaring hosts. Thank you for such a fun filled week and a spectacular boating experience. Holly - we await your cook book!
Kayla & Chris - wow, wow, wow! Thank you for sharing your passions with us and treating us like friends. The time spent on the water watching the beautiful islands pass and listening to the water was amazing. Chris, your culinary delights were beyond phenomenal, Larry was especially happy. Kayla, your ability to find the right spot was perfect, and the wet dinghy ride was memorable to say the least. The islands are gorgeous and we truly appreciate the time you took to explore with us! Until we cross paths again and jump off Willy T`s together, happy sailing! Thank you to Boatbookings for your excellent guidance.
The crew was awesome. They were super nice and friendly. Chris was very responsive and accommodating to all our culinary and thirst needs. Kayla was also very pleasant!
The FELIX was lovely. We really liked the layout of the Lagoon 52. Everyone had their own favourite personal spots, and it had the perfect blend of intimacy and privacy. Here are a few of our favourite memories:
- All the meals on the yacht, Chris was an amazing chef!
-Relaxing on the boat as we motored from one location to the next.
- Relaxing and playing in the water.
- Sipping drinks and cocktails all day long.
- Saba Rock happy hour upstairs.
- Hanging out at Willy T’s for a few with Chris and Kayla!
- Snorkelling around the Indians.
- The taxi ride on Jost van Dyke.
- Looking at all the stars at night.
- Watching the moon rise.
We had a great time and we will be talking about the experience for a long time to come!
The only regret we had about our trip aboard Reach was that we should have made it two weeks instead of one. The whole thing was spectacularly wonderful. Captain Dave`s excellent sailing, the fabulous spots he picked out for us, and the service they both doled out to us all made us feel like William and Kate. This was a once in a lifetime trip that made us wish for two lifetimes. Thank you, Dave and Naomi! Boatbookings, you were amazing through the whole process!
