SEA DOG

Captian Al and chef Iona were the best! We loved sailing on Sea Dog, she’s a great boat! Al kept us entertained all week with his stories and Iona’s food was top notch! The islands were beautiful and we can’t wait to do it again!

Tom is an amazing captain. Such a good character and sweet person to be around. I don’t know what was better, his expertise of sailing or the vibe he brought to the group. Never would I assume it was his first week! I would highly recommend him.

***************************

Tom was fantastic – highly skilled as a captain and a very chill and friendly guy who really put in the effort to make sure everyone on our yacht had a great time. I would absolutely request Tom as my captain for a future yacht week trip.

*****************************

Tom was the perfect captain. He moored the boat so gracefully and kept everyone safe and happy and made sure everyone had a great time! We could not have asked for a better captain.

***************************

Tom was energetic and enthusiastic the whole week. He worked amazingly together with his chef and his energy spread through everyone one of us on the boat. Tom always checked in with the daily plan and gave us options for the day (swim, snorkel stops, etc.) He made us feel safe throughout the journey and shared his passion for sailing with us, teaching and answering all our questions. He was always available day and night when we needed him with a smile. We all felt very lucky to have him on board and would recommend him to everyone!

*******************************

Tom was a fantastic captain! He was super friendly and an easygoing guy. He would always ask our group if we wanted to stop for a swim (he knew we loved our morning swims) and prioritized this. He was highly knowledgeable and informative about the trip and what to expect. He even involved us in the sailing and taught us a bit about how it all works! Tom did a fantastic job, and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Perfect Chef Nicola.
Words are truly not adequate to express how very much we have enjoyed this week aboard. Evening cocktails and appetizers, amazing meals, incredible sunsets and stunning views.
Every day has been unique with touches that only an experienced crew like you could plan. Knowing that we were in your capable hands only added to an EXTREME sense of relaxation!
The girls (10 & 12) have gained a new appreciation for independence, trying new things and living without electronics!
Thank you for the time of our lives - we already miss you - until we meet again.
Peter, Kim, Dane, Erin, Lucy

Captain and Chef Nicola
What an adventure! Thank you for keeping us safe through the wind and waves. We enjoyed every moment of the food, boat, sun and water.
Swimming with the tarpon at night and sea turtles on our private beach in Caneel Bay was epic.
Nicola - the food was insanely delicious! Every bite should be in a 5 star restaurant. You have a real talent and I know your father would be proud. Thank you for sharing your art with us.

Thank you for making our trip one for the history books! We were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we were in the best of hands.
Drew, Michelle, Maren, Kristen, Paul and Neil

Thank you for one of the most beautiful, dynamic and relaxing weeks of our lives!
We will always remember our BVI experience with you fondly.

As I read through this guest journal, it is obvious that you are special to many people. You are so genuine! Thank you will never really say how appreciative we both are for your hospitality, but thank you for everything. You both entertained and catered to our group, it seems to come naturally to you.
I know the preparation it takes to do this to such a high standard is immense, and again, thank you.
The places you took us to and the experiences we shared will not be forgotten. And the food....nobody will forget the artful presentation and the tastes of EVERY meal.
If you ever get the urge to visit Michigan and experience the Great Lakes, you are welcome in our home.
Thank you both for EVERYTHING!
Dave and Nomey P

Nicola was splendid! She was always beaming and happy, making delicious food with beautiful presentations. She was always there if you needed something—helpful, kind, and attentive. She catered to everyone’s needs and even recommended great spots on land to eat.

*****************************
Nicola was incredible. She cooked us unbelievable meals every day, assisted with making bookings for events and activities on the islands, and was always so kind! We absolutely loved her.

*****************************
Nicola was an amazing hostess who took care of everyone on the boat. She was also a fantastic cook, and her stunning food presentations made every meal special.

****************************
WOW. Nicola makes the best and most beautiful food. She anticipated our needs before we even knew them ourselves. We loved her cooking so much that we asked for all the recipes! Nicola is super sweet and funny, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host.
