JUSTIFIED HORIZONS

March 2026 BVI Charter

What a legendary trip! Mike, Sara & Shelley delivered luxury and laughs from the second we stepped on board! It was the perfect mix of 5-star treatment and party of the year energy. Every meal was beautifully prepared and delicious.. way beyond what we were expecting. This crew handled our crew like total pros and included our unexpected special guest Theodore in all the activities. It was out of this world. We developed genuine connection with this crew, the service and friendliness cannot be beat. Thank you for embracing the chaos, elevating the celebration and giving us a couples trip with stories we will be telling forever! Out of this world doesn’t even cover it and we hope we gave you some good stories as well.



 Love, your friends from Louisville

January 2026 BVI Charter

This was the most AMAZING vacation. The crew is OUTSTANDING- I wish I could have them on every vacation. We have bare boated many times, but now we are spoiled! Sara fed us 3 meals a day- the menu and her skills as a chef were unbelievable- fresh baked bread and muffins, everything from scratch- we had to make her sit down. Mike “Captain M” “Coach” is the BEST. Always making sure we are happy playing in the water, going ashore if we need anything, helping out in so many ways. We had 2 children on board and they had an experience of a lifetime. Shelley made sure of that! Shelley was always smiling and so happy, she spoiled us. Our glasses were always full, our cabins were magically straightened up and our children were always making lemonade with her. And the the pirate treasure hunt- fabulous, will be the picture on my Christmas card 2026! 



We hate to leave this crew- many thanks for making a 70th birthday extra special!

Justified Horizons and crew are exactly what we needed! Boat is beautiful! Michael, Shelly and Sara are all making this trip so comfortable and easy. I’m not sure what else we could want right now. 



We have enjoyed this boat and have enjoyed seeing others as we’ve passed them or have docked close to.  I think kids have enjoyed all the toys on the boat, space to relax alone and together as a family. Fishing has been fun. Diving good too.  



Everyone wants to do this again! Just need to find the right time!

November 2025 BVI Charter

It’s so hard to put into words. Justified Horizons is a complete decompression for the mind, body and soul. The crew is top notch and they keep you busy yet relaxed. The yacht is gorgeous, just stunning. I’ve never been gone a week with only a carry on in my life. They stocked so much for us so we didn’t have to pack everything. Just makes it so much more relaxing. Great products too. Everything is monogrammed onboard which we loved. We got personalized cups for the week and they sent gifts home with us. We are from a small town in rural Appalachia and we noticed and appreciated every little detail and took nothing for granted. 

Captain Mike planned out a perfect experience, we will be talking about it for years, chef Sara worked daylight to dark and is the sweetest person ever, First Mate Shelley is so kind and we feel like we left with a new friend. We are truly grateful to everyone involved.

'They had an amazing time and had numerous positive comments about the three of you as well as the yacht itself.  They commented on Michael’s great skills as a captain and leader; Sara’s artistry in the galley and the ease which she accommodated their requests; and Shelly’s never-ending good cheer and amazing service.



They shared many of their highlights and the top of the list was you bringing the tender in to the beach at White Bay - Sara having a boombox on her shoulder along with the bottle of fancy tequila and shot glasses - made them feel like rock stars!  Diving the Rhone was a close second!



Thanks for taking such great care of them, and we look forward to working with you again soon.



Happy 2025!!!

Our trip on Justified Horizons couldn't have been any better, the yacht was beautiful, with so many spots to lounge it was hard to decide where to plunk ourselves down to enjoy a cocktail or basque in the sun!  

Shelley, you are the best mixologist and your smile is infectious. 

Sara, your smile is infectious and your cuisine was out of this world, we loved everything!

Mike, Thank you for taking us to the most beautiful and serene spots in the BVI and always keeping us "toyed up!"

Wow! This trio checked every box and exceeded all my expectations of what a sailing trip could offer. These were plenty of peaceful moments, but not one single boring moment. Jack, Shelley and Tanya were my dream team. They all work so well together. Always smiling always answering with yes we can make that happen. No doubt we will be back on the water with Justified Horizons again. Thank you all for making this dream vacation a reality.

-Anita and Daryl



What a magnificent way to see the BVI. The boat adventures were impressive with room for 10 adults and all the water toys you could need. But the best by far was the crew. Their teamwork was exceptional, and the skills in which they performed their respective tasks. From Captain Jack taking us to the best spots, Tanya making the most delicious and unique dishes and Shelley with her service at the bar, cleaning the rooms and mermaid water skills. We felt like royalty. Thank you and god bless.

-Bill and Connie

What an amazing team. Jack always so helpful with the water toys, taking us scuba diving, snorkeling and many other fun things. Shelley is the best bartender ever and if you loose a phone 25ft deep, she can find it. Tanya is the best chef ever, the meals are to die for. Justified horizons is an incredible boat!

From the moment we stepped on the boat you have served us with such graciousness and so joyfully making us feel like family. Its hard to describe how much we will forever remember this week spent on the Justified Horizons. Everyday seemed to exceed the day before. Yes, the scenery was spectacular, but it was each of you using your gifts and passions that send us home with our cups overflowing. Thank you, thank you! I pray God’s richest blessings and protection over each of you.
