Ellie and Gordon,
Where do we begin? What a wonderful stay we’ve had! Thanks to Ellie’s fantastic cooking, Gordon’s sailing and knowledge of the islands, great cocktails and fun times, it has been like hanging with old friends!
What an awesome experience thanks to you both and your chilled attitude and approach!
Highlights would include the “blondie” dessert, an unreal bar hop on Anegada and Gordon’s karaoke!
A marvelous start to 2025, thank you!!
The Aussies!

How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?
Hands down, the absolute BEST vacation we've ever taken! There aren't enough words to describe how much we loved this experience with Captain Gordon and Chef Ellie. While the act of sailing and the views were amazing in the USVI, Gordon and Ellie truly made the experience SO special. We have traveled to many places and have never had food as delicious as the meals prepared by Ellie - and I mean that! Both Ellie and Gordon were so fun and easy to be around, it felt like we had known them both forever. Our group all agreed that it was the best, most relaxing vacation we've ever been on and we can't stop talking about it.
We definitely want to come back and would absolutely love to have Gordon and Ellie again. If they are unavailable, they surely have set the bar so very high for the next crew!
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the
cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade?
Tedavi was amazing. We had 3 couples on our trip
and felt like it was the perfect size for all 3; I think 4
might have been a little crowded. There was plenty of
shade. Gordon and Ellie did a phenomenal job of
keeping it clean - they scurried down to our cabins
after we got ready for the day and were so quick to
tidy up, we didn't even notice when they were down
there!
Did you use all the water toys? If you were diving, how did you like the area?
Yes - loved the toys, especially the new addition, the
e-foil! We had a fabulous dive instructor come on the
boat, Audrey, and I can't recommend her enough. It
was so nice being able to have a private dive on our
own boat instead of going out on a big boat with a
bunch of people. Audrey was a great teacher for our
friend that was interested in learning how to dive!
Where your meals
excellent and fresh? Spiced with variety and beautifully presented? Did the menus meet your
expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
ELLIE WAS AMAZING!!! Truly, the best food we have
ever had - and we've traveled ALL over. I can't express
how delicious, creative, unique and special each
meal was that she made. She definitely paid close
attention to our preference sheets which was
awesome. I will never be over it - she has set the bar
high for us!
How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful?Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
Absolutely amazing. So professional, kind, funny,
fun... they felt like old friends that we had known
forever. They worked SO well together and you could
tell they both greatly respected each other.
They talked very highly of their bosses and how their
company prides itself on customer service and they
embodied that 100%. & Beyond should be proud to
have them on their team because they are the BEST
of the best!
Was it easy to get to your yachts destination?

How do you feel now after your vacation?
I want to go back!
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
It was perfect! We wouldn't change a thing - except to
stay longer!
Any additional thoughts?
I cannot say enough positive things about this
experience, Gordon and Ellie! I cannot WAIT to come
back!

Our time on the Tedavi has been incredible.
Both Captain Gordon & Chef Ellie treated my family with so much care and made the experience unforgettable!
From sailing the coast of St John, learning facts from the Captain to jumping right into the most secluded, clear blue bays before a perfect dinner this entire trip was a win for our family.
My girls most enjoyed swimming in the sea and helping Ellie add extra chocolate chips into their pancakes.
Eric and I appreciated the details that did not go unnoticed - extremely tidy boat, delicious meals, and overall a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the amazing snorkeling spots, swimming with sea turtles, shopping local, and exploring a new beach each day.
Thank you for the memories Tedavi!
