Rob & Leala Review from previous vessel - 5 STAR REVIEW
My family and I just finished a one-week charter on Oceanfront Property. You probably already know this but I just wanted to take a minute to tell you that our crew, Captain Rob Hyson and Chef Leala Simich, in addition to being truly exceptional at their jobs are just great people to spend a week with. Both have a gift for connecting with people of all ages. Captain Rob brings skill, confidence, humor, a flair for story-telling and excellent customer service with just the right balance of authority when necessary. Chef Leala fed us like royalty. The meals were delicious and the presentation was beautiful. She also never missed a mooring, led us on hikes, provided great conversation and generally charmed all of us with her very real warmth. In spite of all their hard work to make our trip special, both Leala and Rob were always upbeat and lots of fun to be around. They made it all look easy but we know better.
It was also apparent that the other captains and crew in your fleet have a network of friendship and support. It is obvious you've built a great team....and you get to live in paradise. So, congratulations, well done!

I can’t believe I almost did not come on this trip!
I can’t believe I almost did not come on this trip! Thank goodness my first catamaran trip was on the Buena Vida with you guys, Andrew and Julia. It was the trip of a lifetime filled with amazing animals (I never thought I would ever pet a shark!!), beautiful views, snorkelling, swimming, Julia’s amazing meals and all with my beautiful siblings, in-laws and fantastic husband. Thank you Andrew & Julia, from the bottom of my heart for making this trip so special and thank you brother Paul for making it all possible. Love Mary DiNardo Midyette
Andrew & Julia, thank you for all you did for our family this week!
Andrew & Julia, thank you for all you did for our family this week! Your care for us, the boat and our adventures made this a truly amazing experience that we will never forget. Andrew, thanks for keeping us on the safe side of the storms and currents while snorkelling. Your passion for sailing the islands is contagious. Julia, a picture paints a thousand words and the fact that we took photos of every meal you served says it all. Thank you for treating us to such a thoughtful and beautifully prepared meal three times a day! We appreciate all you did for us! Wishing you both fair winds and travelling seas!
Friends on the journey, Lora & Paul DiNardo

Thank you for an absolutely amazing trip.
Andrew & Julia,
After reading the entries from my siblings there is not much more I can add. I would like to say that there is so much love in our family and a family with great hearts and kindness. When we were with you we felt your love and kindness for our family too! So we now officially consider you ‘family’. You also shared your love of sailing, your love of the ocean, your love of cooking and your love from this amazing boat. You cared for it like it was yours. Thank you for an absolutely amazing trip. From the blue waters to snorkelling, to petting sharks, it was the trip of a lifetime, and you all made it special. I wish you love and success as you move forward. Love, Jimmy D

Andrew & Julia,
Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Our trip was off to a great start the moment we met you both on the dock. Your kindness and experience made this trip one we will never forget. You both quickly became our friends. Andrew, thanks for keeping us safe while we were having a blast! You gave us every opportunity to see and experience what was available. Julia, you lavished us with the most amazing meals. Every meal was beautiful and delicious. Thank you also for joining us at the games. We truly enjoyed our conversations and laughter. May God bless you both and may the wind be always at your back. Love, Helen & Pete
