    Dez and Johnny....what a perfect experience! Your efforts in hosting us made this trip unforgettable for us.

    Being up extra early with coffee already made, putting the extra touches on meals and snacks. Hanging the towels we forgot to, picking up the rooms when we werent looking. I have no idea how to put down all the little things that have meant so much to us both.

    Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience

  • January 2025

    We have been blessed over the years to travel the world and experience things that most don't get the opportunity to ever do.

    This past week is right at the top of the list..of a thing we have never experienced!

    Not only the beauty of the islands but the way we have been treated by Captain J and Des. I can’t think of one thing we needed or even wanted that they didn't make sure we had.

    The cooking....OMG the cooking.

    Des absolutely knocked it out of the park with every single meal. Our favorite was the slidders! Then you add the fun loving personalities that they both brought everyday, we immediately felt at home.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us create another 5 star memory!

    An Unforgettable Escape on Memento Amori

    Our recent boat charter trip in the British Virgin Islands aboard Momento Amori was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we set sail, it was clear this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With 10 of us on board, the yacht felt spacious, luxurious, and impeccably designed to cater to both relaxation and adventure.

    What truly elevated our trip, however, was Des, our chef and the heart of the experience. Des went above and beyond in every possible way, ensuring we felt cared for from sunrise to sunset. Her culinary creations were nothing short of spectacular—each meal was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and delicious, with something to please every palate. Beyond her talent in the kitchen, Des’s kindness and warmth created a sense of home on the water. Whether it was a perfectly timed afternoon snack, a warm smile to brighten the morning, or her uncanny ability to anticipate what we needed before we even asked, Des was the embodiment of service and hospitality.

    The BVI itself was breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters, stunning sunsets, and countless hidden gems to explore. Each day brought a new adventure, from snorkeling vibrant reefs to anchoring in secluded coves. But the magic of Momento Amori—and Des’s care—made this journey unforgettable.

    If you’re considering a charter in the BVIs, I cannot recommend Momento Amori enough. With its perfect balance of luxury, adventure, and heartfelt service, it’s an experience that will stay with you long after you return to shore.

    Ed & Des - Thank you! Thank you!

    First, for the hospitality. It was our absolute pleasure to get to spend the week with you both,mlaugh w/ you, learn from you, beat you in Liar's Dice (well, not Des, haha ). Second, for taking care of the one leg "pirate". I highly recommend "rehabing" under the care of these two- you literally didn't let me lift a finger. AND the FOOD. Des is truly a master chef "MWAH" AMAZING. Can’t say enough good things. GOOD PEOPLE. We’ll be back! Safe travels until we meet again!

    God Bless,
    Ashley & Jeff
