Crew Information
Captain: Michael Forbes
We have been blessed to share the last 12 years of our lives working together as a team on the open water. Our way of life has led us through many adventures in some amazing parts of the world! All of this has bought about a very good balance of responsible tourism whilst having a great time enjoying the splendor of nature.
We are very professional in our work but at the same time create a homely feeling wherever we sail. You’ll arrive as our guests and leave as our friends. We can’t wait to start making long lasting memories together!
Welcome Aboard.
Your Captain
Ahoy! My name is Michael, better known as Mike. I am a qualified yachtmaster and rescue diver with 3 decades of experience working on the ocean. Navigating several long ocean passages has allowed me to travel and experience many beautiful areas across the globe. I chose the ocean as my home because I get to experience nature at its fullest. This lifestyle brings me great peace and joy. When I’m not sailing, I am passionate about surfing, SUPing, paragliding, fishing and photography. I love being a part of the underwater world and sharing my life onboard with like minded folks. I’m looking forward to meeting you all soon and sharing this voyage together.
Your Chef
Hi, my name is Marie and I am currently 1st mate/chef on a 58-foot catamaran.
I am originally from the United Kingdom. My background is in hospitality, which has led me over the years to various countries to live and to work. I have been fortunate enough to have spent over a decade in the Indian ocean working as a chef/hostess.
I love travel and cuisine, so being able to combine the two together as part of my job has been an absolute dream. I look forward to sharing these passions along with my love of surfing, yoga, and the ocean with you all very soon.

Guests that were aboard SOMETHING WONDERFUL in 2022 finally sent through their review... a year later!
Our time with Kayla and Morne on Something Wonderful was nothing short of perfection! We had a fabulous, relaxing vacation and would repeat it again any time. The food prepared by Kayla was definitely ahighlight of the trip. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always perfectly prepared and presented, and was some of the best food we've evereaten. Morne was a fantastic captain, answering our endless questions about where, when, how, etc. in regards to the boat and the geography. He also made the best afternoon cocktails for us each day. If you are thinking about booking with these fine people, do it now. You won't regret it!

Guests who had rescheduled from back during corona times wrote in 2022:
The absolute best part of this trip was not the crystal clear water, or beautiful sunsets, or the scenic views from all directions or spacious boat and rooms and terrific food.
By far the most wonderful part of our trip was the crew. It was more like we were on a family members boat than a crewed boat. The service was top notch. The food that came from the hand of Kayla was something you would expect at a 5 star restaurant.
There was not one occasion we felt unsafe with our captain at the helm. Safety was a top priority and he is obviously a professional captain with many hours, years, under his belt. We arrived as strangers but left with three more members of our family.
The first mate was everywhere when we needed him and predicted our needs before we knew we needed them. Water toys were awesome and way more than expected.
The crews knowledge of the area was very helpful and interesting. The boat was way above expectations. So much room for all 8 of our group and the 3 crew members.

Hi Kayla and Morne,
We've been back a few weeks now from our fabulous trip to the BVI & on "Something Wonderful". I was just reflecting on how relaxing and memorable our trip was. We were so impressed with you and Morne. You were such a nice couple that really took care of everything! We really appreciated your attention to every detail and we still miss your delicious meals! We hope to go back one day and take more friends and family. We hope you both are doing well and we also hope you will reach out if you come to California. Take care and God Bless you both.

On behalf of our group, we want to thank you for a truly amazing experience. Honestly it was the best vacation we've ever had, and much/most can be attributed to you. Everyone felt safe every minute thanks to your combined skills and competencies. The food was absolutely fantastic! You anticipated every one of our needs, stopping at nothing to find and keep our beer supply stocked. Thank you so much and we hope to be lucky enough to sail with you all again soon!

Brad & Amanda,
You made our adventures onboard memories that will be on "the best" list for a lifetime! Amanda, your creativity from the galley reflected exactly how hard you are constantly working, but you do it with ease, style and grace, making us feel so cared for. Brad, you are a Rennaisance man. You have poise, confidence, understanding and a gentleman's grace. You put all at ease immediately. Your drive will serve you well in all you do. As a team the two of you were a blessing to each of us in every way. We are leaving truly blessed.

Something Wonderful is just That! 27 Jan 2020
We just returned from a 7 day charter in the BVI. We were a group of 4 couples and it was a first experience for all of us, so we really did not know what to except. We choose the Catamaran "Something Wonderful" ... as we boarded we discovered the first problem! The name of this beauty should have been "Something Extraordinarily Wonderful!" Then we met the Crew. We were welcomed with such grace and refinement by each of them. They instantly made us feel at home. Each one were truly professional and passionate about their careers, but more so they became a part of the family and we learned a great deal from their expertise's. The captain was amazing. We knew how seriously he took his responsibility and we always felt safe and in good hands. He plotted a journey that all 8 of us embraced as our best vacation ever. He educated us about this beautiful BVI and each port was unique and special. The chef wowed us everyday with new, fresh and exquisite cuisine. She too provided us a culinary experience we will never forget.. all the while handling this task with ease and such character. The crew worked tirelessly - each sharing in the daily workings of the boat - and we could not help notice the level of discretion. The crew truly made our experience one we shall always cherish and hope to do again. All of that coupled with what we all thought was to be the most fabulous catamaran. The color scheme was gorgeous, perfectly design in function , amble space and of course we felt the fly bridge was perfect! Every inch of that boat was spectacular! We have all decided after this glorious trip... that when choosing the next charter ... we felt it truly came down to The Crew! We would not want to set sail without this crew! We were blessed to have had both : A Something Wonderful Crew AND Boat! Thank you!"

We did wonder before we boarded why we would even need a 3 crew member .. then we met Daniel. Daniel was equally as pertinent and provided the guest with impeccable service. All three crew members worked tirelessly - each sharing in the daily workings of the boat - and we could not help notice the level of discretion. Also it was an honor to see the level of respect they have for their Captain and rightly so. Paul was able to command his crew with great finesse.

Dear SOMETHING WONDERFUL crew,
What an amazing Christmas week and an honor to be your first guests! The memories we all made this week will last a lifetime.
Graeme, Lauren and Zayne all went above and beyond to ensure we were fully pampered and happy every minute. They were always ready to do anything from getting movie night set up, water sports with the kids, running us into beach bars, serving yummy drinks of the day (Z Island Rum Punch) and on and on . . . . They helped us make some extra special memories that we will cherish, while getting photos of the whole week so we can take them home.
Something Wonderful REALLY was just that and we cant wait to spend our next time with these wonderful people on this absolutely perfect boat!
Love,
Julie, Kevin, Robyn, Allie, Mackenzie & Maddie XOXO

From Mackenzie, 11 years old:
Thank you Something Wonderful for this great trip. I hope to come back because the crew is so nice, the whole boat is filled with relaxations of fun activities and excitements. Wish I could stay!
