o Crew?

5/5

o How would you describe your Captain and crew?

Friendly, attentive, fun, knowledgeable, wonderful

o And last but not least, the food?

5/5

o Tell us about your meals.

Meals were outstanding. Chef adjusted her meal plan to our preference sheet while staying true to the foodie experience. Creative cuisine with a flair for ingenious flavor profiles. BEST gluten-free meals I've ever had. Five stars for sure!



o      Now, do you remember what you liked best about this trip?

The crew quickly adjusted to our style of vacationing and they offered wonderful suggestions on how to have the best experience.



o And what did you like the least about this trip?

The off-boat experience was probably the least favorite. Cocomaya was a very long cab ride from where we docked which we didn't realize. The food was great but I'm not sure it was worth a $180 cab ride. Gi's food was better in my opinion.



o Thank you. Please tell us how did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?

Perfect. We were presented with options that suited our pace, and we trusted the crew to steer us in the right direction...and they did.



o Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:

Yes! We are already talking about a 2027 trip. We loved Dylan, Mario, and Gi. They made the trip so much more than we ever expected. If they are still on Odyssea, great! If they are on another boat, we would follow them to that boat.

AFTER CHARTER FOLLOW UP:

How did you find your crew?  Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating?

▷ All three crew members were fabulous.  We would give them  all very high marks on all these attributes -  friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating.  They were very focused on doing what we wanted and what we liked. They were very enjoyable to be with. They went out of their way to understand what we liked and disliked and adjust the plan to accommodate our feedback. 



Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your favorite aspect of the yacht?

▷ The crew took great pride in making sure everything was clean and in good working order. They had a number of very creative ways  to make us more comfortable  and  have easier access to things we used.   We did tell them that they needed more ventilation in the outdoor dining area and another step or two on the ladder to get out of the water.  They had already planned to address those issues when they had down time. 



Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the menu to your preferences?

▷ Gi was simply amazing.  Her meals were all phenomenal - creative,  fresh, very well  tasty, healthy .  She vetted the menu with us and adjusted to special needs.   We really enjoyed her descriptions of the preparation that she gave before each meal.  She should create and sell a cookbook!



Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed?

▷ Very much so.  They tailored the itinerary to our requests.  They gave us an overview on day 1 and then discussed the plan for the day based on winds, currents etc to make sure we  agreed.



Can we use your comments as a reference on our website?

▷ We left several glowing reviews with the crew with authorization for them to post anywhere they choose.  We highly recommend them to anyone!

Bob & Liz



-  Dylan, Gi, and Mario -

This amazing trip is hard to put into words but I will try my best! The spots we snorkeled & anchored were so beautiful. Gi, your food every day was soooo delicious! You put some of the best restaurants to shame. We had fun playing cards with Mario & Dylan. Mario, you kept up with this crews drinks and you make a killer pina colada! I really enjoyed watching you all work. It was interesting to see the hand signals + coordination it takes to sail, anchor, and leave crowded bays. You all work so seemlessly together. This was a huge bucket list item for us and we are so glad you were the crew that helped us check the box. We will NEVER forget this trip! Thank you for everything! We wish you all the best! Sarah + Bill

P.s. We will still be on the lookout for an octopus but thanks so much for the tips on spotting!



Dylan, Gi & Mario,

Thank you for an amazing week sailing the BVI’s. Your hospitality, team work and attention to detail was the best! We appreciated every extra touch.

TRIP 4



Dylan, Mario and Gi,



Thank you for giving us this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitute for the incredible experience you provided during this trip (and all previous trips for all of us but Ken =) ). From the laughter and stories to the always amazing food and breathtaking scenery, every single moment was truly unforgettable.



Your professionalism, warmth, and attention to every detail made the entire trip seamless and special. The only thing that would have made the trip better was if Mario had caught his tarpon.



The memories we created will certainly last a lifetime (or until next time).

We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to be our crew.

Thank you for all the memories!



Ken and Tracy

With Love Eloise and Mark

Dear Dylan, Gi, and Mario



Thank you so much for everything! I have had the best birthday. Dan and I have done this for his 60th and commented that you had big shoes to fill and you did! Perfect amount of interaction and attention to detail. So many memories were made! Hopefully again!



Been everywhere, done that, but what we have experienced this week was truly special. An exceptional and wonderful time. We will be back.



Thank you so much for making us feel like family. This week was a trip of a lifetime. We made so many life long memories. Your hospitality was second to none. You were all so welcoming and professional. We can’t thank you enough for everything.



This week was one of the most amazing I have experienced. We have been bowled over more than words can express. The Irish are known for their hospitality, you have outclassed us.



Guys I have one word

“FANTASTIC”

2 - 9 March 24

A life well lived is filled with memories.

You have given us amazing experiences. We thank you.



Dear crew of the Odyssea -

To next year.

2 - 9 Mar 24

Odyssea Crew -



When I think of how to describe this trip, the best word that comes to mind is … Incredible! Having a stomach that doesn’t have ‘its’ “sea legs”, I was quite concerned about coming. HOWEVER, there was never a moment when I didn’t feel that my happiness and comfort was their priority. This trip and CREW completely outdid our expectations! Being a 62 year old wife, mother, daughter…I can’t remember when I’ve felt SO COMPLETELY SPOILED! And, SO relaxed! Can’t imagine ever sailing with ANY other crew. We LOVE them ALL! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, kindness, hospitality and beautiful smiles! :)

24 Feb - 1 March 24

Dylan, Gi, & Mario -



This trip has been more than we anticipated. You all have daily exceeded expectations! Capt. Dylan, your knowledge and expertise of the islands and the excursions has been excellent. Thank you all for helping us celebrate Jerry & Michelle’s 30th wedding anniversary and also my 58th birthday! We created memories that will be talked about for years! We would love to all come back & do another charter with you all. Your the best & we couldn’t have asked for a better time & experience! We’ve enjoyed getting to know each of you & consider you friends! What a great trip & celebration! Your hospitality has been beyond measure!



We love ya’ll, simply the best.

10 - 17 Feb 24

Dylan, Gi, & Mario



We would like to wish you all a heartfelt gratitude for such a special week on the Odyssea. Gi constantly out does herself with each and every meal. Dylan is always able to navigate to the most unique & exceptional anchor locations. He was also “kind” enough to introduce us to the game of liar’s dice. All of us were very impressed with the addition of Mario. We appreciated his sweet disposition and top notch gin & tonics. Until next time…Cheers!

“The best things in life are the people we love (and met), the places we’ve been and the memories we’ve made along the way.” You are all gracious hosts that made me feel like I was part of the ships family. I will cherish every memory made with our short time together. Your passion for what you do is demonstrated in all the perfect details.



“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste it, to experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” Eleanor Rosevelt.



Dylan, Gi, and Mario,

We had an amazing time. Your hospitality knows no bounds. Thank you for giving my friends and family an experience they will remember for a lifetime. I am filled with gratitude.



I pray you have many successful season, May God bless the work of your hands.

1 - 8 Feb 24

Dylan, Gi, and Mario:

When I received the text from Eloise on Dec 9 “BVI for my birthday. First week of February. Ya’ll in?” Well of course I texted back, “I’m totally in.” Planning began and excitement grew not knowing what to expect for this week in BVI.

Dylan (captain) - thank you for taking us to so many beautiful bays, teaching us lots of fun games, sharing all your knowledge about the BVI, and your constant attention to empty drinks :) Thank you for being kind to me on Big Mabel.

Gi (Ninja) and chef extraordinaire: each meal full of flavour and beautifully prepared. You have a true gift and we can’t wait to attempt your recipes. Your laughter (even your snorts :)) are contagious. It was so much fun, all of us sitting around the table spending hours laughing and playing games.

Mario ( Mr. Hospitality): the minute we came up those stairs you had our coffee either already prepared or close to it. Somehow you knew when we needed a refill - oh that’s right - you called it hospitality intuition. Be prepared for a rematch in B.S. :)

I can honestly say this is my trip of a lifetime. What an honor to be on the Odyssea this week.

NYE : 27 Dec 23 - 3 Jan 24

Dylan & Gi,

3 times we’ve chartered w/you and you both never cease to delight, impress and care for all of us. Every location so carefully selected with everyone so well attended to. Gi’s food was awesome at every meal. Juggling allergies and making things delicious is a talent. Gi’s laugh is so contagious! Both of you company is also thoroughly enjoyed. Oh, the patience w/the water sports should earn you sainthood Dylan. I’m sure I’m forgetting something so just comprehensively THANK YOU!

Ps. See you next year for round 4 if you’ll have us!
