Dearest Sophie and Emil
We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation to both of you! The dedication, skill and camaraderie you brought to these ten days made all the difference - not just in navigating the waters but in creating an experience that is truly memorable. Though we've been coming here for 30ish years you helped us to see new places as well as old places in new ways.
Your teamwork, expertise and enthusiasm shine through. Whether it's handling the sails, cooking and serving Michelin starable meals, unwinding knots in the bridle or ensuring every detail onboard runs seamlessly, your efforts were extraordinary. Your professionalism and passion for the craft are inspiring, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have been your guests.
You help and care in placing Danney in the Bight was thoughtful and made a difficult time more bearable.
Thank you for your hard work, your positive attitude and your commitment to making our trip an unforgettable adventure, to making our trip an unforgettable adventure ;)

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to both of you for an unforgettable 7 day charter in the Virgin Islands. From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we were in for something special - but you both exceeded our expectations in every way.
Emil. your expert guidance, calm presence, and extensive knowledge of the islands made each destination feel like a hidden gem. Whether it was navigating into amazing snorkeling spots, sharing stories from the helm, pointing us to awesome beach bars or leading us on fun road adventures, you created a relaxed and confident atmosphere that allowed us to truly unwind and enjoy every moment on the water.
Sophie, your meals were absolutely incredible! Every dish you prepared was not only delicious but beautifully presented, and the care you put into tailoring each meal to our preferences did not go unnoticed. mealtimes became some of the highlights of our trip, something we will all be talking about for a long time to come.
From unforgettable dinners and so many laughter-filled moments getting to know you both throughout the week, the entire experience was filled with warmth, fun, and genuine happiness. Together, you made our journey seamless, safe and incredibly enjoyable. Your hospitality and professionalism turned this trip into a truly cherished memory.
THANK YOU for sharing your talents and kindness with us - we hope to sail with you again someday.
