To our new friends Brenda, Eli and Andy,



Michael and I want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude of the incredible experience we had this week on Jans Felion.  Your constant attention to detail and warm hospitality from the moment we arrived was immediately felt.

Brenda you were the perfect hostess and anticipated our every need. Anytime I take a shot I will have fond memories of you on this trip.

Eli tu comida Todo fue. Ricicima todo! 

Andy, I am in awe of all you had to deal with this week and you made it look so simple and natural.  I have to say  your captain skills & finesse remind me so much of how my dad did it (with a much smaller boat0 when we navigated these waters and in Puerto Rico.

I can't not mention your heroic efforts of you and the ladies to rescue my visor.  I will always remember that.  Muchos Gracias por Todo.  We has such a wonderful time. I am jealous of your other guests that will take our place after we leave.  Look forward to seeing you guys again next time.

Hello,



We are writing this letter to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional service and experience provided to us by the crew  of Jan's Felion on our recent charter Jan 29-Feb 7. Our experience was nothing short of outstanding, and we were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, expertise and attention to detail demonstrated by the crew, Lolo ( our Chef) Kat and Captain Kirk. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm  for ensuring our enjoyment and comfort throughout the charter. We wanted to give you some detail about our experience with each of the crew.



Kat was an outstanding first steward. Her knowledge of hospitality and her ability to anticipate our needs was impressive. Whether it was ensuring our cabin was always tidy or  providing anything we needed. Not only was Kat highly professional, but also had a delightful and outgoing demeanor that made our time on board even more enjoyable. She showed genuine care for our well being at all times and created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere every single day. Her expertise in  mixology in creating delicious cocktails was impressive. We looked forward to each evening as she beautifully set our table for each of our dinners.



About Loic a/k/a Lo Lo,  our great chef.  From the very first bite, it was clear that we were in for a treat.  His culinary creations were nothing short of extraordinary and each meal was a delightful journey of flavors and textures.  The attention to detail in every dish was impeccable, and we were consistently amazed by his ability to create such wonderful dining experiences with the freshest ingredients. Beyond his culinary skills, he was also such a pleasure to have on board. His talent, professionalism and dedication to his craft were truly exceptional.



Last, but not least was Captain Kirk. He was the ultimate professional throughout the entire trip. His expertise and knowledge in navigating the waters and handling the vessel, maneuvering the boat in various conditions, ensuring a smooth and safe journey while making sure we had the most fun. He always selected the best anchorages and ways to make the best of every single day of our journey. He was committed to providing the highest level of service and creating the most memorable experience for us.



Please extend our heartfelt thanks to each  member of the crew for their outstanding service and for making our charter an unforgettable experience.



All the best,



Michael and Jackie

What a wonderful trip!! The crew were fantastic. Captain, Kat and Loic couldnt have done anymore to make our trip memorable. The stops were the best.  I really enjoyed the snorkel sites, the food was out of this world. We hope to be back in the near future.

-Expectations  exceeded all around.

-Thoughtful choices throughout

-Each meal offered Loic's culinary discovery - what will he make next?

Kat's care of cabins,table settings, drinks and guests - how does she know what we want before we do?

- Captain Kirk's gentle and kind guidance balanced with humor - no one has a better poker face.

-The boat, the BVI will be memories that fade over time. Our precious encounters with fantastic crew will last forever.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The boat is stunning, the scenery incredible, the water activities (from The Baths to the E Foil) were out of this world. However, to be able to spend this journey and create beautiful funand enjojable memories with friends was priceless.  Our time togther as friends was amplified and elevated due to the crew. Captain Kirk, Kat and Loic are next level dream makers. Their commitment, diligence and service was truly what made our vacation magical.

Captain Kirk and Kat, Thanks for another great adventure around the BVI. AND, Loic, so glad to meet you. The food was fantastic (as well as a kick save in beach Volley Ball that was an ESPN moment). So many moments that we will treasure - from the daily planning, the Kat cocktails, conch diving, snorkeling and sharing experience with our family.



My Birthday was May 8th while we were onboard and Kirk, Kat and Loic did everything to ensure it was a great relaxing day. We can't thank you enoughy for making this another fantastic, memorable stay.  We appreciate you all very much! 

Thank you and we hope to see you again! We are so lucky to have found Jans FeLion = what a special vessel and experince.

March 2023

Thank yo so much for all that you did to make this truly the most amazing adventure! The islsands, the impeccable boat, the food and the drink would have made this the trip of a lifetime, but the crew pit it over the top! Thanks again captain Kirk, Kat (soon to be captain Kat...good luck) and Loic! We will never forget he BVI or this amazing crew.

~Nathanial and Charlie



So many special memories were made on this trip that will last a life time.  Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us these last seven days. We hope to be back to the BVI again. Until such time, all the best wishes to you and your friends andfamily.

A Dream Journey!



The idea for this adventure started in Zanzibar, Tanzania. While on Safari (trip of a life time) a dinner associate informed my wife and I about chartering a catermaran named Jan'sFeLionq. She said it would be a "trip of a life time" Who knew, you could take two trips of a life time in one life. Lol!



Our group of six boarded Jan's FeLion in Village Cay Tortola, from the moment we entered Captain Kirk, Kat, and Loic made us feel right at home. A quick change into appropriate BVI wear followed by introductory drinks and snacks, and we could feel the stress disapate and the feeling of warm sun and relaxation taking over. 



Captain Kirk quickly established himself as a true leader. A keen observer, he learned our group and catered the charter to our liking. His daily debriefings and suggestions were always on point. He kept us safe, on time, and full of adventure. 



Captain Kirk arranged a prime table location to view the Super Bowl at Bitters Ends.  In addition,  he introduced us to Sweet "Ice" Willie who then gave us an Island land tour of Virgin Gorda, introduced us to the tasty and scrumptious food of Mad Dog, and drove us to the awesome Baths (a must see for anyone coming to the BVI). 



Captain, most of all, we admired the pride you had in caring for Jan's FeLion as well as our well-being! 



Oh I must mention, a Big Ups for the ab roller session! Gotta stay fit 💪 while on Jan's FeLion!



Each day bettered the next and that was primarily because while Captain was navigating, Kat took care of our every need while aboard Jan's FeLion. 



Kat kept our cups full of tasty drinks, kept our quarters immaculate, help decorate and organize a fabulous Valentine's Day celebration on the boat.  She was always 2 steps ahead whether presenting a dry towel after a long beach day, helping to hang and dry your bathing suits, providing snorkeling gear, presenting a fresh cup of coffee upon your awakening, or whatever else was needed Kat was always there with great conversation and a genuine smile to spoil us daily. 



 Kat we have nothing but ❤️ for you. Chase those dreams!



My man Loic. They say God gives everyone a talent. This young man was blessed to cook. The meals were off the chain ( that means great, awesome, or any other adjective meaning unbelievable) Each breakfast, lunch, and dinner became better and better. 



Loic prepared the meals with such grace and tenacity. The love he poured into them came out in the amazing aromas and taste of each dish. I will never forget how when someone mentioned a item they liked ( Wendel's olives), they magically appeared in the next meal. 



 Loic we all will struggle to find food as delicious as yours back home. Much appreciation for the time and dedication that you give to your craft.



In summary, from Coopers Island to Virgin Gorda to Neckar Island to Jost Van Dyke to Norman Island, Captain Kirk, Kit, and Loic ensured that all six of us were made to feel special.  



And a special thanks to Heather for all the behind the seens efforts. She helped organize the Neckar Island tour with Gumption tours. I will not spoil all the details of this tour, but if you are in the BVI make sure you take the Neckar Island tour and meet the man they call Gumption.





Jan's FeLion, Much Respect!



Regards,

We cannot imagine a better vacation than our time on Jan's FeLion with Captain Kirk, Kat and Loic.  The boat was a great fit for us.  The crew keeps it in meticulous shape.  Our cabins were awesome and Kat kept them in tip-top shape.  We mainly lived outdoors, dined outdoors, sunned, made the crossing on the bridge.  It was spectacular!

We all love to cook and initially were disappointed that we wouldn't be in the galley.  That disappointment passed after Loic prepared our first meal.  Chartering with a chef is seamless.  The preference materials that you complete are your only responsibility.  You don't have to plan meals, provision, worry about proper storage, forgetting something -- no worries, the crew handles everything. Loic is a skilled chef and simply a good guy with an easy nature.  Kat and Loic made every meal a treat.  Kat is so service-hearted and gracious.  She was always at the ready with coffee, cocktails, water toys.  She learned our preferences and anticipated our needs.  What a great smile and laugh.  Captain Kirk is an ace.  He has confidence and obvious skill.  One is instantly at ease knowing that he will be running the show and handling all the decisions on the crossings, the moorings, anchoring, dinghy trips, fresh water and all.  He communicated clearly regarding our itinerary, careful to consider our desires and kept us on a wonderful schedule.  He also shared a couple of his favorite hikes with us.  We loved being on shore and learning from him.  

As in life, it is about relationships.  The best part of our trip -- not the stellar boat and accommodations, not the delicious food and beverages, not the carefree adventure, not the glorious Caribbean islands with picturesque mountains, flora and fauna and crystal-clear turquoise and deep blue waters, not the adorable island stops and watering holes.  Hands down, it was the crew!  We loved the blessing of getting to know them a little and sharing the week with them.

After a couple of tough years of healthcare challenges, this charter was balm to our souls.  We'd love to do it again. And again. And again!

Thanks to you for guiding us through all the planning and preparation.  Everything exceeded our expectations!

Jan and Family

Here are a few words to describe our trip:

*Real wave * Barracuda *Kat's Painkillers *Casa Blanca * The Hike *Necker Tour * Sailor Boy Baron *It's waterproof *Fungi *Gumption *Nauti but Nice * White Night/Willy T *Oreos * Broken Foil *Full Moon party...

BVI January 2022 BEST vacation

Comments from Broker regading Clients aboard - 



They said this was the BEST vacation they have EVER had! Captain Kirk was so nice and super professional. Bill is a very experienced sailor and was impressed with Kirk and his knowledge. They were impressed by his mannerisms, supremely professional and knowledgeable. He also helped out in the galley all the time. It was a team effort and they all seem to have gotten along well. They just love Captain Kirk!



NIA-OMG! Sooo impressed with her cooking skills and the fact she is self-taught. Amazing!!! Every single meal was AMAZING! They went to stay at Little Dix after the charter and missed her food the most. Mr. & Mrs. are foodies and were blown away with the talent Nia has. They were surprised at the quality of food as well. The breads and cheeses were so impressive too! Couldn’t believe she found such excellent quality cheese on the islands. They can’t say enough of Nia and her cooking abilities. She should have her own cooking show or write a cook book… THAT GOOD! 



Kat was AMAZING as well. They absolutely LOVED her too! She was always helpful with anything and everything. She was the sweetest and they loved having her on board and commented of how well this trio got along and worked very well together. Her cocktails were PERFECT! Not too strong, and not to weak, just right! Very creative and they looked forward to her cocktail of the day. She was truly AMAZING! Enough to invite her to their home anytime she is in their neck of the woods!  



The toys were amazing. They LOVED the sea scooter. They had the most fun on this. And, they loved the boat too! So impressed with her as well. Very spacious and great sitting areas. She was beautiful and they loved every minute on her!

“What an amazing week…we gathered from all over…Colorado, Wilmington, NC Toronto, Grand Is/ and NY + Ohio. We had no idea what an amazing week we would experience….The BVI’s are special but the crew took the trip to a whole other level .. you are so good at what you do… with food better than any restaurant on the island and a positive  and cheery attitude that welcomes all, Captain Kirk made us all feel so safe & you knew he always has your back, the quiet steady presence of a true professional..And Kat, the glue that kept us all together, enjoying the trip + taking care of our every need. We will have life long memories thanks to you three…Back to the real world but remembering our amazing week in the BVIs.

“Kat, Nia, and Captain Kirk …how will we survive without you? Its only been one week, but you have raised the bar in all ways. This trip has exceeded all expectations. The boat is meticulously maintained, the food has blown us away every day and night, and the drinks and hospitality has warmed our hearts. You are going to have to kick us off because we are not leaving! 

Thank you,

“Dear Captain Kirk, Kat + Nia, 



What an amazing vacation!!! I don’t even know where to begin to thank you! We enjoyed ourselves and had so much fun with you! The tubing, beach outings, and just spending time relaxing on the boat have all been restorative to our souls and a well needed rest. 

Then there is the food. Every meal was incredibly delicious and we are very grateful to the care and effort put into making meals and service. 

We were on the boat during some anxiety- and the crew provided the respite that we needed to focus on what’s important, our family and healthy and safety. We are grateful to you all for providing a vacation that we will never forget. We look forward to seeing you all again after this corona madness is over.

With love and gratitude!

“ A fabulous vacation! Every detail was perfect...the boat, the food, the crew, the friends and the weather.

Captain Kirk arranged perfect days that were the greatest balance of relaxation and adventure. We enjoyed riding scooters, bar hopping and indulging in local cuisine and dancing. Nia spoiled us with daily culinary treats and Nicole arranged a beautiful table and created lovely cocktails. We just can’t say enough about how much we loved this trip! It far-exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a fabulous week!
