We have chartered with Steve and Bonnie twice, each time as part of our yacht club's annual cruise.  PARADIGM SHIFT provided the platform from which six of us would race our sailboat each day.  This was an unusual assignment because we were gone all day racing, but it put many demands on Steve and Bonnie which they lived up to with smiles and interest.  Not only did they need to move PARADIGM SHIFT to specific locations, they had to be there before we got there and be ready for us to raft up which they always did.  While Steve had to deal with our logistics, Bonnie had to deal with our meal schedule - breakfast early, lunch packed by 8:30 to start which she magically did each day.  Breakfast was different everyday and we each looked forward to what treats would be served to us. Whether it be blueberry pancakes, quiche or eggs with bacon, there was also plenty of fruit and everything was beautifully served.  Lunch each day was fun because one of us would "peek" to see what Bonnie had dreamt up for lunch.  Each meal was imaginative and delicious.  Dinner was always a highlight so we would try to hold back on the delish appetizers Bonnie served, but that was hard to do.  Everything was prepared and served with care, love, and graciousness.  One of our friends wanted to take Bonnie home so he could continue to enjoy the meals she prepared for us.  Bonnie and Steve do it all with huge smiles - you know they really care about their guests as people and want them to have the best possible experience.  I wish them all the best and hope to see them again next season.

Bonnie Carroll is a very talented chef, who went to great lengths to make sure we had the foods and beverages listed on our preference sheet. We had delicious, freshly made meals every day, inventive hors d’oeuvres with just the right balance re: frequency of meals and snacks! We felt very well looked after. She was also extremely accommodating when it came to having the occasional guest on board. It was a delight to cruise on Paradigm Shift and my husband and I look forward to our next trip with them!

We couldn’t have guessed that one of the most memorable, delightful parts of our Caribbean sailing adventure would be the onboard food and drink experience. As exciting and other-worldly as the overall journey was, it was Bonnie’s thoughtful touch and unbelievable capability in the galley that we keep talking about. We never had to ask for our cup to be filled with something delicious, nor did we ever pass by the salon dining table without there being a delicious, beautiful option for a snack or a meal. Bonnie’s ability to provision the perfect ingredients and then create a truly memorable dining experience was a highlight of each of the half-dozen cruises we’ve taken aboard Paradigm Shift.

Dear Bonnie, Steve, and Sailor

I wanted to convey our appreciation and gratitude for the care and attention to detail you both showed us on our wonderful Christmas / New Years charter….Nicole and I had fabulous week, Bonnies’ food was exceptional... the freshness , variety and portions were perfect for us. Captain Steve was able to fast track the paperwork required to enter the BVI which was our goal on this trip as we had been denied entry in 2020 due to Covid restrictions. All in all an amazing trip, both relaxing and fun when we needed it…best charter ever! Thanks again Steve & Bonnie..

PS: We miss Sailor dog every minute and hope you are sneaking treats to her in our absence!!

Best,
Bernard and Nicole

Bonnie, Steve and the Paradigm Shift exceeded all expectations. This is not our first rodeo. We have enjoyed sailing in the BVI's many times but this was, by far, our best overall experience, even though Covid limited our cruising area. Bonnie and Steve knew where to take us to maximize our experience. Snorkeling off Culebra was a highlight. We will definitely be back on the Paradigm Shift!

Dear Bonnie, Steve and Sailor,

We knew this would be a trip of a lifetime but thank you for making it better than we could have ever imagined! You guys ROCK!

We miss the islands already! We try to keep the island vibe going 😊

Bonnie and Steve were awesome!! We can’t imagine a better week. They were more than accommodating!! The boat is perfect and you can tell they take pride in it. Bonnie is an awesome cook and nailed every meal....and drink😉

They are amazing people and we had a ton of fun with them. They were a perfect match for us. Hopefully they had fun with us 🙂

We can’t wait to get back!!!

We spent 8 magical days on the Paradigm Shift and as I was stepping off the boat on our last day I turned to Bonnie and Steve and simply said that sometimes dreams really do come true!! I also want a special shout out to Bonnie for being an amazing chef!! The quality of the food was unexpected from the relatively tight quarters of a boat galley!! In summary, I highly recommend Vine Yachts and Steve and Bonnie Carroll on the Paradigm Shift !! The sign of a fantastic vacation is in stating that my family and I can’t wait to do this again!!!!!
