SANDY CINCO

BVI 21st – 28th March 2026 “Food, fun, water and sun.”

Mike and Lizzy, I can't tell you all how much I appreciated this trip and everything you did for us. I'm so grateful for everything you all did as this will be a trip I remember for a lifetime. MM

 

Mike and Lizzy, thank you so much for everything this trip. I've had such a fun time playing Yahtzee, sea scootering, snorkeling and more y’all made this trip something I won't forget. Thanks AKM

 

Thank you for an epic vacation! The sailing was amazing. Food, fun, water and sun. Thanks Lizzy for the yummy food. SP

 

Mike and Lizzy, After years of searching for a charter, you came highly recommended. I wanted to bring my family to the BVI because I had such a great experience sailing around the islands in 1993 when I was in 8th grade. You've given us more than a family trip. This will be a trip that ignites A lifelong love of exploring and travelling for all of us. I pray that it is also just the beginning of many new foods for the children! You both complement one another so well - making for an unforgettable experience for everyone. We have truly been spoiled by all the food, sailing and exploring.  We're ready to sail again! Love KP

BVI 13th – 20th March 2026 “A spring break never to forget.”

Star gazing, Mabel tours, remote search and rescue, secret baby turtle spotting, baby goats, beach walks, bar pops, delicious lobster and even more delicious Lizzy creations, sun rashes, sea scooters, Tarpons, high seas, mangrove canoeing, snorkeling galore through rough currents and sprinkles, spilling all of our drinks, and feeling so loved and cared for the entire trip by the best crew we could have hoped for! A spring break never to forget and to do again so soon! Thank you doesn't seem like enough! A,D,P & B G

BVI 30th March – 5th April 2026 “A wonderful, memorable vacation.”

How can I put into mere words what has been an over-the-top sailing trip? I have done two previous sailing trips to the BVI, but this one was 300% better than the others. Mike and Lizzy you are the ultimate dream team. Mike's expertise with sailing and acting as tour guide (especially on Anegada!) and Lizzy's five star meals were absolutely fabulous. Thank you both many times over for a wonderful, memorable vacation. God bless! LK

 

From initial on board, everything couldn't have been more excellent: Many thanks CP

 

My first time sailing! I was worried about being seasick and I shouldn't have done so! What a fabulous experience. Mike and Lizzie really treated us like family. Mike was an outstanding captain and guide; Lizzy, a five star gourmet chef - she made magic happen in the small kitchen! Truly a trip of a lifetime - thank you so much BP

 

What a wonderful experience! Thank you Mike for your superior hospitality and exceptional bartending 😊 chefs kiss to Lizzy. I will be making many at home. Cheers to Lizzy and Mike, hopefully we will see you again soon! JF

Mike and Lizzy - thank you doesn't seem enough to say- just WOW!! The sailing, meals and memories are simply priceless and beyond wonderful! P&J H

 

No words can describe this trip! We could not have had a better couple to spend time at sea with. Lizzy, the food was awesome and Mike, your drinks aren't bad either! Mike thanks for such wonderful sailing. Your knowledge and expertise made our first sail amazing! RH

 

Mike and Lizzy - Gybe Ho! What a great experience for our first BVI trip (and won't be the last!) The sailing, food and drink were all top shelf! Thanks for a great time. JH

Sandy Cinco - April 2026

Dear [Broker]



We are on our way home after an amazing week on Sandy Cinco.  Thank you for all your help choosing the right yacht and crew.  Mike and Lizzie did an incredible job and created the conditions for us to have exactly the vacation that we wanted with our family.



I would highly recommend Mike and Lizzie – they are very experienced and that translates into a very high-quality experience and an ability to avoid crowds and only experience the best anchorages and locations.  The food was also excellent.



I hope that this feedback is helpful.



Thanks so much for helping me make a good choice of yacht and crew – as you know, it makes all the difference.



Best,

John

March 2025

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

   ° Mike and Lizzy were welcoming and knowledgeable about the islands and history. They made it clear up front if we needed anything or had questions to just ask. 



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

   ° The yacht exceeded our expectations. The additional covered space on the top deck was great!  It allowed everyone to spread out and added a lot of space to relax. 



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

   ° Lizzy was an amazing chef!  She made sure that individual dietary needs were addressed and carefully distributed the dishes so everyone got what they requested. 



•Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed? 

   ° We didn’t have any real plans which put an extra burden on Mike. He had a clear plan each day and it worked for us

So much fun - we will always remember, and hope to come back to share with our family. Thank you. J&T Y

March 2025

We had the absolute best week with Mike and Lizzie on the Sandy Cinco. 



We met via a zoom call a couple of weeks prior to our trip and knew immediately we were going to enjoy vacationing with them. They wanted to get to know each of us personally. 

They are both very organized and take such pride in making sure the Sandy Cinco is in top condition.  We immediately felt right at home. The boat is absolutely beautiful and we loved the personal touches like our color coded drink bottles, towels, and snorkel equipment.  



Every meal Lizzie prepared for us looked amazing and tasted even better. It was so nice not to ever think about a meal, but they just appeared and we enjoyed them with our family on the back of this beautiful boat. 



Mike made sure our days were filled with a variety of things from sailing, to exploring,  to snorkeling, to bar hoping or just relaxing! Everyday was different and so much fun.  They both went over and above to make sure all 6 of us were happy at all times. We did a lot, but felt like we had lots of time to just relax as well. Perfect combination for our family! 



This will be a week that we will never forget and will treasure forever! 

BVI 28th February – 5th March 2025 “An amazing week.”
