***July 14-20, 2024***

Guest One:



Thank you Justin, Megs, Tamlyn and Chef Anthon for a fantastic week aboard Emrys. I've enjoyed getting to know you while sailing the Bahamas. Megs attention to detail and thoughtful assistance has helped me relax like never before a trip. Megs I also enjoyed the trip around Normans Cay with your Dad. That was special and he clearly knows it like no others. Justin thanks for sailing us so thoughtfully and hitting the sights at the perfect time. Tamlyn your video is fantastic and will be a cherished memory. I also really appreciate Justin and Tamlyn’s help and wise guidance on the excursions keeping us out of trouble from foolish boaters and always keeping us refreshed with water and a beer of two. Chef Anthon I have never eaten so well! Everything was delicious. I also appreciate you working around my red meat allergy with so many substitutes. The mahi sliders and grouper were particularly fantastic and chocolate souffle and the weekend a very sweet treat. To all of you thanks for making this vacation the best ever. With my gratitude! 



Guest Two:



Emrys Crew,

Can't say enough about how accommodating you all were to all of our needs. Megs - you are so attentive and set the most beautiful table! Chef Anthon - your food was delicious! Thank you for accommodating everyone's special needs. Tammi - Thanks for all the excursion assistance with snorkeling, boat tours, and medical knowledge. Capt.

***April 10-14, 2024 ***

Guest One:

Thank you Megs, Tamlyn, Anthon, and Justin for the best weekend ever! You all made us feel extremely safe and comfortable. We especially loved the watersports (snorkeling, jet skiing, tubing) and the beach all day. It is going to be hard having our cooking after eating all of Anthon's delicious meals. Megs made amazing cocktails too!!! This is a trip that we will never forget!! Justin made the ride feel so smooth and Tammy helped us feel so safe when swimming with sharks. I hope I can be back soon!



Guest Two:

We had the most incredible trip! Every meal was unbelievable and somehow better than the next. We were so taken care of and all of our needs were met, and then some. The excursions were so cool, truly a once in a lifetime expereince. Every moment was magical and the staff made sure of that. I'm so grateful for this unforgettable trip, one I'll cherish forever. From swimming with sharks, snorkeling a plane wreck and jetskiing, I always felt taken care of by Tammy and Justin. Megs attention to detail was unmatched she was always thinking of ways to make our experience better. Anthon's energy was so warm. His food is next level as he took so many cuisines and elevated every dish. Truly the best weekend made possible with this special staff. Thank you for everything.



Guest Three:

This was the most incredible unforgettable trip of my entire life! From the moment we got onboard the fun and amazing memories began. Megs greeted us with the most delicious cocktails and the warmest welcome. Justin is the bestest captain in the whole world! He helped us get out of our comfort zone and took us on the coolest adventures along with Tammy! Without Tammy, I wouldn't have done half of the activities we did. She gave me so much confidence and always made us feel safe. Justin helped me get out of the wake and back in for the first time while waterskiing. He was so patient with all of us and made sure everything was safe and taken care of. Now the food was INCREDIBLE! Every single meal Anthon made was out of this world. He is the most talented chef in the world! Every night there was a creative delicious special meal with a crazy good dessert. We were always wowed with what he did in the kitchen. Meg is the most fun greatest stew! She was always helping us with what we needed and made the best specialty shots! She remembered all of our preferences and was so much fun to talk to. This really was the trip of the lifetime! I cannot thank the crew enough for the past 5 days!



Guest Four:

This truly was a trip of a lifetime. I made so many fun and special memories w/ my friends but also with Justin, Tammy, Megs, and Anthon. The food was out of this world - I couldn't pick a favorite meal. Tammy and Justin were so helpful and knowledgeable. They made every excursion amazing and safe. I felt like I was in great hands the entire time. I never saw them without a smile. The snokeling at the plane was my favorite and Tammy and Justin knew everything! Megs made some kick ass cocktails and always brought high energy. This trip ws so special and wonderful - I never want to leave. Thank you!!!

***March 23-30, 2024***

Many thanks to the crew of Emrys Charter Yacht for the fun times and incredible memories on our Nassau vacation. Our family will cherish them forever.

***April 22-30, 2023***

Des, Taruna, Justin and Anthon, 



You have given us an UNBELIEVABLY awesome vacation aboard the EMRYS! It completely blew away our expectations. Completely AMAZING food, Anthon, with outstanding accommodations for the food allergies of our various family members! Taruna, you so cheerfully anticipated our every need, brought us anything we requested, made our guest rooms look beautiful each morning and made us the BEST variety and quality of cocktails we have ever seen! Justin, your enthusiasm for our on and off boat activities was infectious, you made every moment an adventure and you took awesome videos of our vacation! And Des, you are the nicest, most competent captain we could imagine! Thank you ALL!!

***April 12-19, 2023***

Guest One: What can one say to perfection? Capt Des is charming and leads with integrity. Luke is always there, prepared with the right attitude.  Chef Anthon, I can’t over communicate our “awe” of your talents. So much diversity, quality and flavor, 5 stars on everything you touch. Sweet Taruna to wake up daily to this smile, this kind of soul, is to truly be in paradise. You have all given us a taste of just that, paradise. 



Guest Two: Thank you for the great time we had aboard. On the positive side, Des is a great Captain, Justin was as well so nice and entertaining, Taruna and her beautiful smile and fantastic cocktails, last but not least, Anthon and his amazing food, every day a new surprise and a new taste. On the negative side…. Absolutely nothing! Itinerary was top, I wonder what we can do after such an amazing cruise to top this experience. .



Guest Three: Thank you for this week! It was great! Fantastic! Very deep thanks and congratulations to Des, Justin, Taruna and Anthon for hosting us. The week was amazing, you guys are a great team!

***March 11-19, 2023***

To the lovely crew, 



8 days was not enough with you! In fact, when I sat down to write this last night, I got teary and was not prepared to say goodbye. You are the dream team in every sense. Your cherry demeanors, knowledge of the Exumas, and creative ways to keep us entertained were unmatched. We will miss you all! Thank you for the most amazing week. 



Captain Des – I’ll work on my jet ski skills until we meet again. Thank you for your great stories, excellent itinerary and for keeping us all safe. You were wonderful. Please come visit us! Would love to host you. 



Luke – Thank you for making this so fun for the kids! I loved all of the excursions and they will always burn bright in our memories. We wish you a wonderful and exciting year!



Chef Anthon – You are SO talented. The food was incredible, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’ve never loved every single meal on a charter. The cuisine was so varied and you were so accommodating with our requests, etc. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to meet you!



Taruna – Your sweet smile every morning and your infectious energy was unparalleled. We hope we get to see you in Florida. Thank you for your entertaining our crew this week!

***March 2-9, 2023***

Thank you for what has undoubtedly been the best week of our lives! Everything was absolutely perfect, thanks to all of you. 



Captain Des - nightly storytime with you was the best! You kept us laughing and we learned so much about the beautiful islands. We also loved getting to see your family's home on Norman's - so beautiful! 



Chef Antone - thanks to you our clothes don't fit after a week of spectacular meals! You exceeded all of our expectations and blew it out of the water every time. We still can't stop talking about these ribs on the private island!



Tavana - you are the queen of cocktails and just the loveliest, most friendly person ever. You always kept smiling and going the extra mile to help us make memories. We adore you!



Luke - you are amazing. You documented every part of our trip to ensure that we'd have a beautiful reminder of this week. You never got stressed or tired (or at least you hid it well), you gave us fantastic trips, kept us safe on the toys, and were just great to be around. 



Truly, the crew made this trip - we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and hard work. We will never forget our week on M/Y Emrys!

***January 27-29, 2023***

Dear Meg, dear Des, dear Rob, dear Antone. It's hard to express how much we enjoyed but we can try with a poem:



On crystal blue waters we did sail,

With a crew kind and without fail

Meg, Des, Rob, and Antone were their names

Their service and smiles put us at ease, without any strains

Their kindness and generosity were truly a treat,

Making our trip a memory we’ll always repeat



From navigating the ship to serving meals,

Their skills were truly impressive

We felt safe and so well taken care of

Their attention to detail truly impressive



We’ll remember the memories we made,

Cruising on the sea of the Bahamas with you

And we’ll look back on our journey 

With gratitude and fondness of you



We love you!

***January 18-25, 2023***

To our Emrys family,  



What a fantastic week have had aboard. Your attention to detail was evident daily.  



Antone... you never missed a beat. Everything was prepared perfectly. Every meal we had tasted different from the last. They were picture-perfect. The flavors were paired so well with each course. We will miss all the beautiful pastries customized for us. We hope to read about you in the next Michelin Guide.  



Rob... always ready, willing, and definitely able to keep us occupied even though we were and really enjoyed being on Emrys for most of the day. Loved waking up and seeing you smiling from sunrise to sunset. What an asset!! 



Des... you have gone above and beyond with all of our requests. And I know they weren’t easy to fulfill. We really enjoyed your familiarity with the islands and learned so much about the area. You made us feel comfortable and safe on and off the water. A truly skilled captain and a wonderful person as well. Thank you for all of your hard work. It did not go unnoticed.  



Megs, Megs, Megs...Emrys would not be the same without you. You have catered to our every request. Always ready with the daily cocktail, confirming that we are still content with our menu for the day, always checking on us, going above and beyond as well as making sure we are always full and well “hydrated.” Your attention to detail with your decorations made every meal feel different than the last. Thank you as well for fulfilling our requests for reservations and appointments. That was much appreciated. You are fantastic!! 



We will miss our Emrys family and hope to return soon. 

***November 12-19, 2022***

Dear Des, Megs, Rob, and Anthon,  



Thank you for an amazing time on Emrys. You all went above and beyond taking us snorkeling, lobstering, fishing, tubing, and playing with water toys... Megs waiting with a yummy smoothie when we returned. The memories on Emrys are many but to highlight a few – spearfishing and getting a lobster that Anthon prepared for lunch the next day, fishing and catching a Wahoo, and again, Anthon preparing it jerk style and grilled with your amazing homemade sauces and Pico de Gallo. Cruising, snorkeling, looking for conchs, and Anthon preparing amazing conch chowder. Feeding the pigs and iguanas, nurse sharks, snorkeling the shipwreck and seeing reef sharks, a plane crash, going to the beach and finding shells, snorkeling down to the mermaid and piano. 



Each of you worked all day to make our trip so special. Megs, you always made everything perfect. From decorating and making the boat so festive, always checking to make sure we had everything we wanted, keeping the boat immaculately clean and organized, making us delicious smoothies when we retuned from our excursions, having clean towels waiting, filling us in on the Bahamian ways, you are amazing.  



Anthon, you will have to roll us off the boat. Thank you for your amazing meals. You are a pro. You were so kind to make everything from scratch from the delicious Thanksgiving dinner, homemade sauces and dressings, preparing our catches for us, your variety and thoughtfulness and time making breakfast lunch and dinner each day.  



We appreciate you Des and Rob, you made the trip so fun with the incredible excursions. Your endless energy always willing to take us to snorkel, tube, fish, play on the beach, explore the coral reefs, and kept us entertained from sun up to sun down and more. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in planning our days and always being helpful with what we would see and explaining what we needed to know and do.  



We had an amazing time thanks to each of you. We know we have left out numerous memories, but we just wanted you to know what an amazing vacation this was thanks to each of you. You each add so much to our experience and we can't thank you enough. 

***July 9-14, 2022 ***

To the benevolent crew of M/Y Emrys,  



The ***** family is eternally grateful for your hospitality and kindness on what was our greatest family vacation ever. Thank you for being so helpful and patient with our little kids. I can promise you that all three of our kids will remember this crew for the rest of their lives.  



To Justin, thank you so much for being so fun with the kids. They loved the tubing and the sand castles – you are simply the very best my friend. Please never change your wonderful attitude and temperament. 



To Chef Anthon, we so enjoyed every meal, snack, and dessert. The food was perfect. Thank you so much for taking much good care of us. 



To Megs, you are such a wonderful stew but an even more amazing person. The whole family just adored you and so appreciated everything you did for us. You are an incredible ambassador of the beautiful island and the daughter of what is one of the most special places on earth – The Exumas. Thank you for making our trip so great! 



Captain Des, you're the finest captain we’ve chartered with, big or small boats, simply the best. Thank you for the attention to every detail. Thank you for all the attention you gave to the kids. Thank you for all your hard work you and Justin did to make our beach/sandbar setups perfect. And thank you for getting me taken care of for my business needs.  



To the benevolent crew of the Emrys, we love you all and are all so very appreciative of making this one amazing voyage, adventure, and vacation for the ****** family.  

***June 1-6, 2022***

Celebrating a 2022 graduate from UNC, a 2020 graduate (who never for a celebration due to covid), and two birthdays! What a fabulous week. We had to change our trip itinerary to adjust for a tropical storm, but even so this amazing crew made it all happen! We swam with the pigs, the sharks, the rays... we snorkeled with the turtles! Caught two glorious Mahi Mahi (the fish so nice they named it twice)! We water skied, wake boarded, paddle boarded, explored private beaches. Had lunch off boat at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, dinner off boat at McDuffs at Norman Cay. We got to swim around Pablo Escobar’s sunken airplane at Norman – which was one of the highlights of the trip. But the primary highlight was the incredible crew! Des, Megs, Justin, and Anthon. Wow! Did we score the perfect group for our experience. Everyone was so attentive to our every need – the service was over the top excellent. Outstanding in every way. We especially loved the welcome towels with peppermint scent and the variety of shot cocktails! The theme dinners with appropriate decorations were awesome too – and the food!! Michelin 5-star!! The chef’s table on our final night was a huge hit! The *** family will be back again for sure. Many many thanks for making our experience so extraordinary. We had such a great week on board despite having to navigate some tricky weather. Kudos to this crew for an awesome ‘pivot’ and for making it so much fun along the way.  

***March 20-27, 2022***

Guest One:

Thank you for the best vacation! You all were so fabulous, and I can’t wait to come back!



Guest Two:

I with you the same happiness you bring others. I am happy beyond words! Hugs to all. 

***March 12-19, 2022***

Guest One: 

If I had a yacht I would want all of you as my crew. This week was AMAZING! No detail was left out. Thanks for helping to make memories!



Guest Two:

I cannot say enough great things about this crew.  It was almost like they could read our minds.  Everything was amazing.  The food was incredible.



My grandson said that another yacht trip would not be as great if we didn’t have this crew!

***January 21-28, 2022***

Guest One:  

This experience has been absolutely sublime. The wonder of the excursions to the iguanas, swimming pigs, nurse sharks, and the pure joy of playing in the water and napping in the sun provided the relaxation that I solely needed.  



The food was excellently prepared, the drinks intoxicatingly delicious, and the appointments of the boat sumptuous.  



What made this trip perfect was not the events and food, however it was the graciousness, charm, fun, and fabulousness of Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean. These are the best hosts ever and the trip would not have been the same without them.  



Thank you! 



Guest Two: 

Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean,  



Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!  



Your knowledge, professional demeanor, and attention to detail are superb. You should all get raises! But most importantly, you are just plain wonderful! It has been a joy getting to know you.  



The Bahamas are dazzling, but the four of you really made the trip shine!  



 

Guest Three:  

Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean,  



Ya’ll rock! This week has been amazing. Thank you for taking such excellent care of us and making this the best vacation ever. The way you tailored each day and then went with the flow to make sure each of us had the best time shows that you really cared. Getting to talk to you and learn a little of your stories was also a high point. I truly hope we have a chance to hang out again someday! 



 

Guest Four: 

Des Megs, Justin, and Jean,  



The care, kindness, creativity, and hospitality of this crew is unmatched. For a compact crew, you demonstrate an outsized capacity to meet our needs – both known and unknown. Before a thought was formed, an answer/drink appears. While the paradise of the Bahamas is its own delight, this has been an extraordinary experience because of each of you, and I am grateful!  

***December 12-19 2021***

So you can imagine a family who has visited the Exumas/Bahamas many times before, we had very high expectations. To say that you exceeded all of them is a true measure of your commitment to share your love for this beautiful place with us. We cannot thank you enough for accommodating our crazy food requests. That was obvious when you delivered a “Kit Kat” birthday cake to the Kit Kat birthday girl! It makes the parents so happy when the kids are over the moon and appreciating every moment as much as we did, and I mean every moment.  



Each excursion, each meal, each table decor, each special touch. They all added up to one of the best vacations we have ever had and we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips. So bravo Team Emrys, we will remember this trip as one of the best and that has everything to do with the four of you!  



Thank you, we so appreciate everything you did for us and we look forward to our return.  

***December 2-9, 2021***

Guest One: 

This trip has been absolutely amazing! The crew has been spectacular in every way. Your energy level, personal interactions, outstanding service, and local knowledge make you the best at what you do.  



It was our good fortune to spend the week with all of you!  





Guest Two: 

Brilliant crew, superb food, outstanding excursions. Thanks for a fabulous week.  



 

Guest Three: 

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Awesome and knowledgeable crew. A once in a lifetime experience.  

***November 22-29, 2021***

Guest one: 

We finally did it! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable vacation – and it definitely was!  



We all kept saying our week is flying by, time truly flies when you are having a blast! 



Thank you all, Des, Megs, Justin, and Nikki for making a fantastic and memorable Thanksgiving holiday for our family! 



We will cherish our new friendships, special memories, and all the exciting adventures!  



We hope to see you soon!  





Guest Two: 

This boat trip has been the best, I loved meeting the crew, they were all very sweet and caring. They made the trip very enjoyable. I feel like it flew by because of how much fun I was having. I really hope in the future I will see everyone again.
