Guest Testimonials
March 2026 Happy Guests
Our voyage was certainly long and full, deepening friendships and making memories. We're glad you're in our hearts forever! K&E
Charlotte and Jonathan! Thank you for a fun filled week of adventure. The food by Chef Charlotte was not only amazing, but each meal was a celebration with stories shared and lots of laughter. Chef Charlotte catered to all our needs! Captain JT broughtt us to all the perfect spots with confident sailing and maneuvering across the BVI. Highlights included the bubbly pool at Jost Van Dyke, chilling on Guana Island, Painkillers at the Soggy Dollar, the Bitter End, an incredible sail to Anegada where we jeeped and snorkeled, a beautiful lunch spot in Road Town Harbor, with a jump from Willy T's to follow, and our final day of snorkeling. Thank you for all the magic, laughter, and memories that we will never forget. D&G
Jonathan and Charlotte,
Thank you for what was truly the trip of a lifetime. We have been so anxious to come back to the BVI after staying at the Bitter End, and you topped that experience. We can see your care and dedication to your passengers, and it is truly extraordinary. Thank you for al the special meals.. truly spoiled and loved every minute of it. You are wonderful hosts. We loved our trip. The experience was even more than we imagined. Until next time. J&C
March 2026
To the crew,
A heartfelt thank you for making this experience simply unforgettable. With your professionalism, care, and passion, you turned every moment on board into something truly special.
We will carry with us not only the memories of the places we visited by above all the memory of your warmth and your outstanding work.
With gratitude and appreciation.
Second Time Aboard Ithaka!
This was our second time sailing the BVIs aboard the beautiful catamaran, Ithaka, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt right at home. The boat is incredibly comfortable, impeccably maintained, and fully stocked with all the amenities you could need for a relaxing yet adventurous getaway.
The captain and chef were outstanding—professional, warm, and truly made the experience special. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced. We had just the right amount of downtime to relax and soak in the stunning surroundings, mixed with plenty of adventure to keep things exciting.
Every stop felt carefully curated, and the whole trip was seamless from start to finish. We’re already dreaming about our next escape aboard Ithaka.
- Matt & Hayley Worstell
EPIC
Just returned from an EPIC 6-day charter in the BVI aboard Ithaka. The captain aboard was fantastic, friendly and attentive to all passengers needs/requests. We smoothly sailed to the best locations and anchored in calm waters for peaceful nights aboard ship. The chef was next level providing meals with phenomenal flavors - no snacking was ever needed. She too was friendly and attentive to all passengers needs/requests and had everyone’s coffee orders down after the first day :).
The catamaran itself is stunning and spacious. There is plenty of storage space for your belongings and deck space to hang out and not feel crowded. Every last detail has been thought of onboard from nice linens in the rooms, games when you need relief from the sun, different table linens for each meal, an outdoor shower for a quick rinse, snorkel and paddle board gear for entertainment at your destinations or when at anchor. The underboat lights were awesome at night and allowed for incredible views into the water to see the ocean life.
Too many positives to list them all! Would definitely book again!!
Nicole
The boat is in phenomenal shape!
We had an amazing trip on board Ithaka in the Virgin Islands. The boat is in phenomenal shape, the beds were very comfortable, and the amenities on the boat were top tier.
The captain and the chef on board took great care of us for the entire trip. It was hard to pick a favorite meal because they were all incredible!
Our group will definitely be back on board Ithaka again in the future. It was the best way to truly experience everything the Virgin Islands has to offer. - Cody
AMAZING!
We had an AMAZING trip on board the Ithaka. Captain Nate was very accommodating and professional but also a lot of fun to be around. He graciously answered everyone's questions about the Ithaka, sailing in general, other boats on the water, and the area. He did all of that while also occasionally playing bartender and creating fantastic island inspired rum drinks for us. Our chef, Makayla, was also fantastic. The meals were phenomenal and inspired. We all jokingly observed on the last day that we hadn't eaten any of the snacks on board because the meals were not only excellent but they were perfectly timed and portioned to fuel all of our adventures. We ate one meal on shore and I truly wish we hadn't. The Ithaka itself is absolutely luxurious and accommodated all 8 of us travelers very well. I was a bit apprehensive about being on a boat with 8 people and feeling like we were on top of each other. The layout of the Ithaka was perfect. It allowed everyone to spread out and have space to do whatever the individual wanted to do. If a few of us were talking and listening to music on the top deck and someone wanted a quieter place to read a book it was no issue. This was the first sailing trip I have ever been on but it certainly will not be the last. I look forward to booking the Ithaka next year for another trip and continuing to explore the Virgin Islands.
Loved the food, meals were awesome!
Clay and Jill,
Amazing time on your boat! Loved meeting you and sharing time with you. We will always remember this wonderful week - Jill you are beyond words, one of a kind. Thank you for the accommodations with my "GF" diet - Hope we cross paths again. Loved the food, meals were awesome! - E&M
Amazing Week!
Thank you for an amazing week! Everything exceeded our expectations...the sailing, the food, drinks, ports, excursions. We hope to see you sometime in the future whether in the islands or New England. Your skill and thoughtfulness and care are second to none. Loved every minute aboard with you! - C&M
Best family vacation ever
Captain Clayton & Chef Jill were fantastic the entire week. We felt extremely safe with our captain running the boat, and both Clayton & Jill spent time with us in the water snorkeling, which was fun and helpful. They know the BVI very well and gave us excellent options throughout our trip and brought us to many great places. They were always available to meet any & all of our needs, yet we were completely able to relax on our own. The guest cabins were quite comfortable. The master suite was great. The bedding was excellent, very clean & comfortable. Ventilation was excellent, the AC was run all night each evening and sleeping conditions were great. Plenty of storage. Chef Jill was fantastic. All our meals were prepared with great care and exquisite tastes! She followed our preferences and checked in with us regularly.
Awesome adventure!

This was our 5th Caribbean charter and we think it was the best one! Thank you for mapping out such a great journey through the islands. We loved the snorkeling, kayaking, and birding. You both made it the perfect holiday! Captain Clayton & Briley were the perfect hosts - you absolutely catered (and anticipated) all our needs. The bays that we moored in were perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, swimming and relaxing (and eating and drinking and singing...) Thank you so much - we felt safe at all times and you showed us all the best parts of these islands. We loved the taco place and enjoyed the "floating band." Briley - food was amazing - and you catered to all our "food whims." That was special. We wish you continued amazing adventures. Only with you would captain (and cook) our next charter!!
And Captain - thank you for sharing your music and adventures with us. And Briley - I SO appreciate the extra efforts to make things diary-free for me- so special! We hope to see you again along the way!
So thankful!
We are so thankful to have ended up on a boat with Captain Clayton and Chef Briley this week! You both were AWESOME. Thanks for taking us to the best places, getting the kayak, sharing information, keeping us safe... Thanks for letting us share in your rummi kube game :) Briley, AMAZING food! I hope my family can adjust to my cooking again when we get home. You're so creative and talented.
We've loved snorkeling, tectite, hiking, and sailing. We've also enjoyed hearing about your adventures around the world - and we're glad that you were part of our adventures in St. John.
Wishing you all the best in the days to come.

We have enjoyed our first family trip on the boat so much. We are so grateful for how well you have taken care of the boat and treated it like your own. We could not have chosen and more thoughtful crew for Ithaka's maiden year. Everything you have done to get her ready to sail and have guests as been amazing.
My favorite part of the trip is always the planning. Thank you for taking the time to talk out all our plans and timelines. We had such a smooth trip. We will always remember my husband's 46th birthday as the first year we sailed on Ithaka!
Thank you to Briley for all the planning, shopping, prepping and cooking double meals for the kids and adults. Everything was wonderful!

Captain Clayton & Briley -
Thank you for a fabulous vacation! This is a trip that our family has talked about for years and now that we have taken the trip, it will be one that we talk about for years to come!
From swimming with sea turtles to snorkeling the Tektite siko, it was all wonderful! Thank you for taking us free diving, Clayton, we loved every minute of it. The kids also loved surfing behind the dinghy and all the time spent out on the water.
Thank you for all of the wonderful food, Briley! Thank you also for the breakfast accommodations for the sleepy teens! Good luck to both of you as you continue your travels.
Five star
Five star Captain. Feel very secure the whole trip. There were 4 adolescents that got along with the crew thanks to Clay and Briley. Planning every day activities was real easy with them. Saw some spectacular sandy beaches, amazing sunsets and great spots for snorkeling and swimming. Briley's peanut butter pie was the highlight of he dining experience. God blessed them forever. Highly recommended, the whole group were all so relaxed and felt at ease.
Thank you!
Clay and Jill -
Amazing time on your boat! Love meeting you and sharing time with you! We will always remember this wonderful week - Jill you are beyond words - one of a kind. Thank you for the special accommodations with our gluten-free diet. Hope we cross paths again. Loved the food - meals were awesome!
Loved every minute aboard with you!
Clay and Jill -
Thank you for an amazing week! Everything exceeded our expectations... the sailing, food, drinks, ports, excursions. We hope to see you sometime in the future whether in the islands or New England. Your skill and thoughtfulness and care, are second to none. Love every minute aboard with you!
Awesome!
Clayton and Jill,
Thank you for an awesome adventure. Everything was truly exceptional. The food and presentation was outstanding, totally beyond expectations. The best reward was learning about your life adventures. Thank you for the friendship.
