It was absolutely great, the crew in particular was fantastic - exactly our thing! The boat was just right. We could have easily stayed 2-4 days longer and would have preferred to skip our hotel vacation that follows.

Gordon

Zara and Tim,

Aboard Evenstar, a birthday celebration we did seek,
with Zara's cuisine, from feast to sweet treat.
Thanksgiving delights, her skills on display,
carrot cake magic, the star of the day!
Tim's seamanship, steady and true,
with e-foil spins and water toys too. 
Stops that amazed-
Anegada's bright shore,
Soggy Dollar's rum and views we adore.
The weather was perfect, the skies crystal clear,
Tubers and centaurs, our bond grew near.
Genealogy clues, Bananagrams played,
On Evenstar's decks, the best memories made. 
With laughter, adventure, and memories dear,
This trip was a gift, one we'll hold near.
So here's to Tim, to Zara, to Evenstar,
To making this week the best by far!!

With Thanks, The Bermans

Zara and Tim,

What an amazing week this was celebrating our friend Lauren‘s birthday! I can’t thank you enough for all that you did and making this trip perfect. You both went above and beyond and exceeded all of her expectations. Besides being great hosts you were so much fun to hang out with and we’re always up for anything. From Willy T’s to the full moon party I loved every minute. I hope we can all do this again and have y’all as our crew!

Keeley

Zara and Tim,

Than you for allowing us to be your first Ladies Only Boat! When you can keep eight ladies happy for five nights you are obviously special people. Every meal was better than the next time and we knew it was gonna be a fun time and we walked onto the boat to a bottle of Veuve! Not only did you never judge us but you always helped us take whatever idea we had (neon parties, Pirate night) to the next level. You made the birthday girl feel so special while also catering the trip of a lifetime for everyone on board. We will think of you every time we have hood rat ratchet hour! Let me ride that dinghy dinghy!!

love you both, Erin

Tim and Zara,

WOW! What an amazing trip that will forever make us think of all the laughs, dancing, amazing food and friendships that will last a lifetime. Your hospitality and laid-back nature made us feel welcomed and extra special! You guys took such good care of us from the delicious food, fun suggestions of what to do and where to go and even joining in with us to have some fun! It’s truly was the trip of a lifetime we are forever grateful for having a chance to do this! Hoping our paths cross again!

Candace

Tim and Zara,

This is truly the trip of a lifetime that exceeded every expectation! You took excellent care of us the entire time and we are leaving this trip with two more friends! Thank you for being so accommodating and for embracing all our antics! This trip will be hard to top! You helped me ring in the big 40 in the bougie style.

XO, Lauren

Zara and Tim,

You guys are the best! We knew this would be a great trip, but the two of you made it amazing. You took us to places we won’t forget, the food wasn’t fantastic, and we had so much and we had so much fun hanging out with you. We will always be thankful that you made our friends birthday trip unforgettable. And we know you won’t have dance parties like ours again. Good luck with the new boat and if you’re ever in North Carolina come see us!

Erin

Zara and Tim,

This was the BEST experience!! You both are wonderful and took this trip to the next level for us! Thank you for the delicious meals, fun drinks and hanging with us when you could! Love that you to get to do this together and wish you both many blessings ahead.

Thank you for all your hospitality on this epic catamaran vacation! I appreciate all your hard work to make this trip amazing from the cocktails to the beautiful meals, every detail was exquisite. Also, thank you for putting up with our shenanigans! I hope your next adventure in the Bahamas is amazing!

Best of luck, Brooke

Tim and Zara,

What an incredible trip this has been! You two are simply the best hosts, Captain, and chef making this adventure true trip of a lifetime for us! All the stops, food, and drinks were remarkable and let’s not forget about all the dance parties! Thank you for your amazing hospitality and hanging out with us too! We are blessed to have met you and I hope our paths cross again!

Love, Brandy

Zara and Tim,

Thank you for everything! You have made both of our trips with you above and beyond our expectations! We feel like you’re a part of our Tennessee and Florida family!

Every experience from Willie T’s, to the bubbly pool, our favorite Anegada experiences were amazing! The food…OMG! The food, drinks, and fellowship was wonderful!

From what we thought would be a once in a lifetime trip is now an annual event. The two of you truly have a gift of making us all feel and experience the Bvi‘s in the most fun and beautiful way with all the fun packed in as well! We love and appreciate you so much!

PS thanks for introducing Casey to food!

It was amazing!! Tim and Zara are the most gracious hosts! We had so much fun with them! The boat was beautiful! You could tell they took pride in their work! Zara is an amazing cook- Tim made a few yummy things as well! Tim had great knowledge of local things. Took us to the “popular “ places but took us to places we didn’t know about and we had some great adventures! I couldn’t recommend this trip enough- especially with Tim and Zara!!

Melissa 

It was an awesome trip that exceeded our expectations! Zara and Tim are fabulous hosts and went above and beyond to meet our every need. They made our experience truly amazing! I would highly recommend this trip with Zara and Tim to our friends and family. They together made our trip a huge success!

Margie

Tim and Zara,

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! This was the trip of a lifetime for me. I appreciate every little detail to our comfort (yay hazelnut) delicious food and knowledge of the area. Best wishes for a lifetime of continued adventure.

Lisa

Zara and Tim,

You both provided a once in a lifetime trip! It was spectacular in every way. We can’t thank you enough for your amazing hospitality. The food is amazing and your consideration for everyone’s tastes was appreciated! Our words can’t express our gratitude. You both provided the BEST experience EVER!

Thank you!

Margie

Tim and Zara,

We have had the best time this week! The food, the beaches, the drinks, everything has been amazing. You made us feel so welcome and fit in great with our silly group. Thank you so much for my birthday cake! It was a fantastic way to celebrate. We loved all the places you took us and will never forget our time with you.

Thank you for everything,

Kaylee and Emily

Dear Tim and Zara,

I can’t thank you enough for the most amazing trip! Truly a trip of a lifetime. We came in with very little expectations and wow! More than I could have ever dreamed of! You took us to amazing places and fed us like royalty both of you have culinary skills. We can’t thank you enough for everything! Wishing you all the best. Thank you so very much!

Warmly, The A’s

Tim and Zara,

Your thoughtfulness and true desire to make our experience unforgettable was only exceeded by your kindness, humor, and generosity. You take such pride and attention to detail and preferences of your guests ensuring an incredible experience. The food was amazing! The places you shared with us were unbelievable and your suggestions were invaluable. We are so grateful for your warmth and hospitality. Thank you is not enough, but I sincerely thank you both!

Greg

Zara and Tim,

We cannot thank you enough for the amazing time! From the moment we stepped on board we felt completely at home. You both are so warm and gracious. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Our every want and need was anticipated.

We will never forget all the different sites, activities and excursions you planned for us. We would have a difficult time picking a favorite. Each day was better than the last and the meals were so delicious that many nights we chose to eat on board rather than venture out. When we did go dine on land your recommendations were just right!

We hope to see you back in the states- you are welcome at our home anytime!

How can we begin to thank you for the incredible week we’ve gotten to spend on your incredible boat?! We will cherish every memory. The fishing, the snorkeling, the hiking and all the laughs! You offered unparalleled hospitality and treated us like family.

Thank you for curating the best stops, incredible meals, perfect cocktails, fantastic conversation but most of all for putting up with the Thornton family chaos and shenanigans! We miss you already! If you ever need a Texas ranch fix we’re a call away!

Tim and Zara

BEST. TRIP. EVER!!!

Everything was wonderful from the moment we stepped on Ocelot! We had such a fun relaxing trip. The food was amazing and each day had us going to a new adventure!!

Zara and Tim,

You never missed a trick! From the excursions to bars to the best food in the Caribbean- it was first rate. We feel like we had a great time and added two real good friends to our list- thanks for everything it was great!

Zara and Tim,

Thank you for a magical week! The thoughtfulness on every level was superb!

Happy New Year Tim and Zara! We can’t think of a better way to kick off 2024 than being on this AMAZING cruise with you! We have had the trip of a lifetime creating great memories our family will cherish forever.

Thank you for being the best crew we could ever imagine. Your cooking was top tier, the excursions were great and the cruising was simply spectacular. We wish you all the best for 2024 and hope the rest of your season goes as well as our trip did.

Dear Tim and Zara,

Thank you for making my last break for a while so magical! Thank you for the rare opportunities (like water skiing and knee boarding) that even if we drove you crazy you still let us keep trying until we got it. The food was absolutely incredible along with the visual. You guys are so amazing and I will miss you both endlessly. Zara, thank you for letting me cook with you and showing me the behind the scenes in the kitchen. Tim, thank you for putting up with my stubbornness when I was attempting to waterski and then hyping me up when I went knee boarding. I would also like to thank you guys for teaching me how to sail, maneuver a boat as well as how to tie them off. I couldn’t ask for a better crew to spend my vacation with! I wish you the best and I hope to see you guys again some day!

Dear Tim and Zara,

We can’t thank you both enough for one of the most amazing trips of our lives. From start to finish each day was filled with memories of joy, adventure, and most of all love. Our family truly appreciated your warmth and hospitality. We look forward to another with you both in the near future. We wish you all the best in 2024!

We really appreciated our time on Ocelot. You both made it a special vacation for all of us. Thanks so much for all your hard work and taking good care of our crew. We loved the amazing meals and can’t wait for the recipe book!! We look forward to a future trip on Ocelot. You guys are the best!!

Dear Tim and Zara,

Thank you very much for a fantastic charter. You both worked very hard to provide all of us with a “family memory” filled your. We want to do it again with you folks sometime. We all wish you the best for a successful 2024!

An epic week of birthday celebrations who knew that a bunch of 60 year olds could shut down the Willy T and Foxys! What an amazing week of fun, sun, drinks, and karaoke. The food was fantastic, breakfast lunch and dinner. No other crew that we will sail with ever again. Thank you!!

An amazing week with Zara and Tim- Thank you for everything, delicious food, drinks (loved having a painkiller waiting when we arrived!) Sails we’re amazing, great snorkeling spots and island hopping. What a great trip!!

Thank you Tim and Zara for an outstanding trip and being super fun. Also thanks for putting up with our “help” crewing when you could have been but were never impatient with our incompetence!

P.s faves include Zara’s amazing apps and cocktails, the beanbags and float, and Zara’s incredible ability to get me outside my comfort zone.

Tim and Zara thank you for jumping in to provide a most amazing trip. This was truly spectacular. It would be hard to top this trip. Thank you for your hospitality, good natures and amazing meals. Lots of great memories thanks for making it so special. You guys rock!

Amazing trip Tim and Zara! Thank you for the fantastic meals and for transporting us from one magnificent spot to another. We appreciate all your work and thoughtfulness on our special 60th birthday vaca! So grateful for all the memories you helped us make together aboard Ocelot

Bucket list/ dream trip USVI and BVI. Tim and Zara were a perfect match for our “Party of 5.” The food 10/10. Loved the attention to detail for the teens whether it came to chilling on the mat or Tim giving sailing lessons… as we write our reflection of the week, we cannot decide on if lobsters and limbo on Anegada or hiking the Baths or snorkeling the Indians.. all of it was pure perfection.

Thank you Zara for the attention to detail on our preference sheet and more!! We will miss paradise but are so grateful to have made lifetime memories.

All our love, The Crochet Family

Our family has had a fabulous and relaxing sailing vacation in and around The USVI. From the moment we got onboard Tim and Zara were incredibly friendly, thoughtful, professional, and a warm desire to be attentive to our needs as their 1st family charter on Ocelot! We have sailed before on a catamaran in Croatia, so we know what to expect of a week living and dining on a catamaran. Tim and Zara did not disappoint. Dining on the boat was delicious, healthy, varied, and beautifully presented. Zara was easily able to accommodate our family's dietary needs as well. Zara was an incredible host and bartender! Tim definitely knows his way around The USVI and every great beach, snorkeling area and routes to sail. Tim was flexible in giving us options for the day so we were able to pack in a lot during a day- snorkle, paddle, kayak, and hike all in a day. Tim and Zara became part of our family unit as the trip progressed which made it that much more special. We were absolutely blown away with nightly Hanukkah treats for us- really so unique and thoughtful. We would 100% love the opportunity to sail again with Tim and Zara

Hands down best family vaca! Voted by all of us. Zara and Tim made our time on the water so special. The meals were above and beyond delicious and accommodating our family's dietary needs is not easy. Beautiful coves and water activities were perfect for our adventurous family. We hope to do this again and couldn't imagine any other crew to do it with. Thank you Zara and Tim for everything!!

Thank you Zara and Tim for the best Camera Family 2023 vacation. You both went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and at home. Your meals were delicious and the cocktails tasty. Snorkeling the caves and Indians were beautiful. The Baths were glorious to enjoy! Who can forget our "Foxy's Facts" and late night living there. Your hospitality and little extra touches made for a perfect trip. We can't wait to come back! We can't thank you enough!
