March 2025

•How did you find your crew?  Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating? 

   ° Mike and Lizzy were welcoming and knowledgeable about the islands and history. They made it clear up front if we needed anything or had questions to just ask. 



•Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your favorite aspect of the yacht?  

   ° The yacht exceeded our expectations. The additional covered space on the top deck was great!  It allowed everyone to spread out and added a lot of space to relax. 



•Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the menu to your preferences? 

   ° Lizzy was an amazing chef!  She made sure that individual dietary needs were addressed and carefully distributed the dishes so everyone got what they requested. 



•Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed? 

   ° We didn’t have any real plans which put an extra burden on Mike. He had a clear plan each day and it worked for us

Outstanding vacation! Thank you very much! M&S B

 

Thank you for your gracious hospitality. We really loved the flexibility and yet faith in daily schedule that led us, very relaxed, to our next destination. You condensed the highlights and offered each of us many adventures. The banter with our group kept us laughing. Lizzy, your presentation, display and execution of the cuisine was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! 7 days of indescribable adventure, beauty, hospitality and cuisine. So much fun - we will always remember, and hope to come back to share with our family. Thank you. J&T Y

March 2025

We had the absolute best week with Mike and Lizzie on the Sandy Cinco. 



We met via a zoom call a couple of weeks prior to our trip and knew immediately we were going to enjoy vacationing with them. They wanted to get to know each of us personally. 

They are both very organized and take such pride in making sure the Sandy Cinco is in top condition.  We immediately felt right at home. The boat is absolutely beautiful and we loved the personal touches like our color coded drink bottles, towels, and snorkel equipment.  



Every meal Lizzie prepared for us looked amazing and tasted even better. It was so nice not to ever think about a meal, but they just appeared and we enjoyed them with our family on the back of this beautiful boat. 



Mike made sure our days were filled with a variety of things from sailing, to exploring,  to snorkeling, to bar hoping or just relaxing! Everyday was different and so much fun.  They both went over and above to make sure all 6 of us were happy at all times. We did a lot, but felt like we had lots of time to just relax as well. Perfect combination for our family! 



This will be a week that we will never forget and will treasure forever! 

BVI 28th February – 5th March 2025 “An amazing week.”

BVI New Year’s Eve Charter 28 December 2024 – 4 January 2025 “Thank you for another unforgettable voyage!”

To Mike and Lizzy - one last toast as we sadly say goodbye for a second year in a row. What a perfect trip, all thanks to you two. From the sails to the snorkeling, the scenery, the turtles, the games, and of course THE FOOD: Lizzy outdid herself. One thing I have learned from these two trips is that the true joy and beauty of sailing is in the journey, and we couldn't ask for better guides. Until the next time. MK

 

The second year in a row of paradise! We are beyond thankful for Mike & Lizzy EC

 

Just the best !! Thank you for making this week unforgettable!! LB

This was our second voyage with Mike and Lizzy, and it was even better than our first one, which didn't seem possible because the first was perfect. Mike and Lizzy are impeccable hosts. They seem to know every inch of the BVI, and that knowledge translates to wonderful days, day after day, in new spots and familiar spots. Mike is a superb sailor and guide, as well as an excellent bartender. Lizzy is an absolutely amazing chef. There cannot be a better team in the Caribbean or for that matter anywhere else! We look forward to many more sailing trips with them. DB

 

Mike and Lizzy and Sandy Cinco are 100% perfect. Best vacation. BC

There are no words to describe our experience we had on the Sandy Cinco. Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy are such amazing souls and we connected immediately.

The thoughtful details in every simple trip, meal, conversation were truly out of this world. This trip is a must for everyone! Thanks also to our hosts for this incredible experience. We are truly blessed to have met each of you. Much love PDG

We were welcomed aboard by the happy, smiling faces of Captain Mike and Chef Lizzy – just their normal, everyday nature! It’s glorious! We were treated to the best scrambled eggs on the planet, and the best hamburgers – Lizzy rocks!! I don’t think there’s anything Mike and Lizzy don’t know! Great teachers! I learned so much from Mike about sailing. Lizzy showed off her knot tying skills teaching the kids! The Baths was amazing! BG
