BOAT SHOW AWARDS
Chef Maya Walsh - 1st Place Best Cocktail & Award for Best Designer Water - VIPCA YACHT SHOW 2022

Doyle Van Horn
Capt Doyle was born in "The Heart of Arizona". Coming from a ranching background he spent his childhood playing in the woods and rivers of northern Arizona. After graduating from high school he set off traveling around the states working construction and other odd jobs. One of those jobs took him up to Valdez, Alaska where he found his way to the local marina. It was at that moment, seeing all the boats on the dock, that he fell in love with the idea of working on boats and finding a life at sea. After that trip he decided to go all-in and made his way to the Virgin Islands. At 19 years old he moved to St. Thomas to pursue a life on the water. Being the annoying kid on the dock asking for work, finally someone gave him a chance. He spent the next couple of years as crew on a 65-foot sailing cat working on his sea time and honing skills needed to be confident on deck. Eventually, working and getting his 100 ton master’s license. In 2003, he was promoted to captain and so began a dream life of sailing the islands and exploring his backyard that is the Caribbean. Throughout the years he had several opportunities that found him on multiple boats of different size and make, from 100 foot power yachts to 50 foot day sail cats. From running boats for major hotels like The Ritz Carlton, to private term yachts he let the sea and wind take him from The Virgin Islands  to Hawaii, throughout the Great Lakes and down the eastern seaboard. In 2015, he had the opportunity to build a boat and start a small high-end private day charter business throughout the Virgin Islands. In August 2007 hurricane Irma and Maria swept through the Caribbean, devastating the islands and boating community throughout the area and beyond. He was forced to pack up and move back to the States where he got back to his roots and worked as a Cowboy for several ranches throughout Arizona. Sleeping under the stars and raising the beef that feeds the nation he found a real passion for the cowboy lifestyle; but in the back of his mind and the forefront of his heart he knew he was destined to make his way back to the sea. In 2021 Doyle sold all his horses and moved to St. Augustine Florida, to get back to the life that fuels his heart.  Upon returning to the sea he found a new spark for the work and decided to go back to the island and pick up where he left off. Taking the Captain position onboard Nae Kae with chef Maya, he is excited to show you all the secrets that he found over his twenty years of exploration.  Whether it’s showing guests the amazing world under the surface or harnessing the power of the wind to transport you from one island paradise to another; to strumming some tunes on deck for cocktail hour, you are sure to find the right itinerary for you and your group. Capt Doyle, and Chef Maya are happy to welcome you aboard Nae Kae for what is sure to be the best trip to the islands and possibly the best week of your life!


Chef Maya Walsh
Maya grew up primarily in the suburbs of Washington D.C. but spent several years going back and forth between her parents’ countries of Japan and Canada. A lover of water, she spent her youth body surfing on the beaches of California and sailing and canoeing on the lakes of Ontario. Upon graduating from the University of Toronto where she studied Japanese, Spanish and biology, she realized she wanted more involvement in the food world. And so her culinary journey began with six months of WWOOF-ing in Spain and Portugal followed by a move to Baltimore where she became involved in the robust organic urban farming community while cooking at an award-winning French bistro, bartending at a natural wine and sake bar, and roasting and serving coffee.

During 2020, she lived in Japan where she interned at a Michelin 2 star restaurant and worked at a traditional noodle shop. She is a graduate of the Ballymaloe Cookery School, an institution located on an organic farm in Cork, Ireland and of the Ashburton Yacht Chef Academy. Having traveled to over 30 countries, her culinary repertoire is diverse. Her experiences have led her to prioritize a commitment to sourcing high quality, seasonal, and local products, creating strong relationships with producers. She especially enjoys foraging, fermenting and pickling. In the most recent off-seasons, she was learning about the ancient wine culture of the Republic of Georgia and working the harvest on a low-intervention winery in Slovenia. She also spent time in Honduras acquiring her PADI rescue diver certification. She is relentless when it comes to furthering her gastronomic knowledge, highly competent and committed to catering to all guests' dietary restrictions, preferences and aspirations.

Reviews

July 2023
This was our very first sailing trip and Capt Doyle and Chef Maya made our experience simply unforgettable. Both were kind, patient, attentive to every wish and whim of our group. Chef Maya is a treasure, her culinary skills are beyond fantastic. I didn't know what to expect but I certainly didn't expect freshly bakes breads, hand made tortillas, focaccia bread, to name a few "made from scratch" items. It will be so hard to get back to reality and have to do groceries, prep, and cook on my own again lol! Captain Doyle was fun to talk to about his sailing experiences. I appreciated his attentiveness to our safety when we were swimming and playing in the water. Thank you Nae Kae owners and Doyle and Maya for an amazing experience. I hoper we can return again one day with the rest of our family.
July 2023
Fantastic meals, personable conversations, breathtaking views, and service from the heart. I deeply appreciate you two and know you have great things in store for you future. Much love.
July 2023
Lost in the ocean, gasping for breath, sinking down, then two hands reach in and pull me out. That's what it felt like going on this trip with Captain Doyle and Chef Maya. Not physically, but mentally. I really enjoyed our time together how brief! Wish you all the best and hope our paths cross again!
July 2023
Beautiful sailing trip with my family! Words cannot describe the breathtaking beauty, exceptional service and attention to detail. Thank you captain Doyle and Chef Maya for this wonderful experience and unforgettable memories.

Y'all took such good care of us this week! Thanks for making it an unforgettable trip and all the tips, recipes and jokes along the way!
June 2023
As three couples, marking a retirement, a first grandchild, and 45 years of marriage, we were anxious for an experience to match those milestones. Wow! Thank you Doyle and Maya for being our guides on our Caribbean adventure. From the moment you made us take off our shoes, your welcoming nature helped start the celebration. Maya, the gourmet meals, and their creative presentations were incredible. Doyle, the destinations and experiences on and off the boat were extraordinary. Thank you for sharing part of your personal lives. We consider ourselves very lucky to have you both as our Nae Kae crew!

Maya and Doyle have made this trip the best vacation I’ve ever been on! We had so much fun and the food was unbelievable… I will truly miss it forever. They are the most generous and welcoming people and help my family create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much!

Thank you both, Maya and Doyle, for such a wonderful trip. The food and hospitality was amazing. The cleanliness was top-notch. Working around my gluten sensitivity. Helped me to have a better week. Doyle you were so patient and helpful. Always taking the time to answer questions. Thanks to both of you. Here’s to a great finish to your season. God bless you and keep you safe.

Thank you so much Maya and Doyle! The trip was perfect and it’s all thanks to you guys. The food was unbelievable and I was blown away every meal. I had such a great time, thank you for making it so special.

Sailing the VI with such an amazing and experienced crew made this trip absolutely perfect. This is my first sailing trip and I don’t think I could do it any other way. This peaceful week was everything I needed and everything I didn’t even know I needed. Spending time with my daughters and nieces just talking and laughing was my favorite part of each evening. Thank you Doyle for taking care of everyone on our boat and making this trip about us. Maya, a pen in my hands cannot describe how much we enjoyed your creations.*
We will be craving them until we see you again. This week we were the envy of the ocean! Thanks for everything. *But the pictures we sent to my brother’s boat sure made them jealous.

This trip was by far our best family vacation, especially because of our phenomenal crew, Maya and Doyle. They took every measure to provide exceptional hospitality, safety, and also really fun company! They were spot on with recommendations, menus, and information about our surroundings. We would come back again, and again!

Maya and Doyle,

Our seven day sailing trip was fantastic! Thank you for the memories! It was great to spend time with our family and friends. Maya, the meals/snacks/apps were the best we’ve ever had! Not only delicious, but the presentation was second to none. Loved the afternoon, “fancy cocktails.” Doyle, your boat is spectacular, thanks for always keeping on an eye on us- :). This trip was just what Sam and I needed peaceful, beautiful and fun!

Thanks for everything,
April 2023
Doyle and Maya,

Thank you for the exceptional service you provided! You made this such a remarkable experience. Loved the meals, especially desserts! Your teamwork was commendable and we loved how you both truly cared for us!

Sincerely,
April 2023
The four of us, Stefan, Angela, Ann-Christine, and Leah, were all so excited for this trip, and I’m certain that our expectations were exceeded. The amount of kindness and motivation you showed us were incredible and we all felt very much at home. The boat is almost as pretty as Maya‘s pretty, (and of course yummy) dishes and cocktails. We really enjoyed being fed without any breaks and getting to lay in the sun while Doyle finds us beautiful bays to swim and also spend the night. It was also so pleasant and fun to always eat with you and gossip-don’t worry, we won’t snitch. Although we only played fishbowl once, it was still extremely fun and I still think about the delicious paper I got to chew for about 10 minutes (Leah).

Overall, we could have not wished for a better crew or boat. You two are such great and interesting people and definitely made this one of our best and most memorable vacations. Thank you very much for that. Remember, if you ever need interns or have free beds, feel free to call Ann-Christine and Leah. Hopefully we’ll see you guys on your next boat. We wish you all the best and thank you so much for everything!
April 2023
Ditto, everything that Leah said is 110% true. You guys are the best and we wish we could have stayed longer than just a week. But in German there’s a saying, “Man sieht sich immer zweimal im Leben,” (you always see each other twice in life) - so we will see you soon (hopefully)!
April 2023
Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for an amazing and incredible week! The BVI’s were spectacular. The food… Still speechless, as I try to articulate the words to describe how tasty everything was. Thank you Doyle for the lobster hunt off of Christmas Cove and for keeping us safe. Your care for all of us and creativity that you put into the pirate treasure map for the kids was especially thoughtful. Being here in the BVI’s was wonderful, but both of you made this time extra special! Thank you so much!
April 2023
Maya and Doyle,

Thank you for all the great memories this week. Our family will cherish the time we were able to spend sailing and getting to know you both. The treasure hunt will be talked about for years and our kids enjoy trying new food. As a parent, it was great seeing you both put in time to make this time special . We hope to make it back sometime soon.
April 2023
Chef Maya and Captain Doyle,

Thank you so much for all the thought and effort you put into making our trip so special. Every meal was spectacular – taking everyone’s allergies and taste into consideration, (even small children). Every stop was an adventure and some relaxation, so we felt like everyone got a little of what they were hoping for, which must be difficult with a group this big. Thank you so much for having fun with us at game times and sharing your fun side as well as taking such good care of us, this whole time. You are both treasures in the Islands!
March 2023
Maya and Doyle,

Thank you so much for making our first charter trip so amazing. This was a trip of a lifetime that our family will always remember. Every day was such a fun adventure at different coves. You guys did such a great job accommodating the boys yet making it special for Brian and me. Maya – I think you finally won Spence over and the boys want to bring you home to cook every day for us. You have set the bar high!! Doyle, we appreciate your professionalism with keeping us safe on the boat. We can tell how much you care for the for Nae Kae! Next time we might need you to play a little more guitar for us!! Cheers to an amazing trip and we hope that we might get to come on another trip with the two of you on your next boat!!
March 2023
Maya-please send all the recipes to my mom-it was the greatest food ever.

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you for an outstanding week in the Virgin Islands! You’ve been attentive since our initial zoom preference call. Execution this week has been superb. We’re fortunate to have had an opportunity to explore Anegada with you and we hope that Maya sticks with kiting. Your knowledge, spirits, and personalities have made this trip more memorable than you can imagine! Thank you for taking such good care of us -safely transporting us from island to island-cooking us multiple fabulous meals a day
-taking such exceptional care of Zac sunburn foot! Simply outstanding! Best of luck with the rest of the season!

Maya and Doyle, to give a little context I am in my seventh decade and I have been very fortunate to have done a lot. This week has been an exceptional week in my life. I have experience new things, felt safe and been so well looked after. Maya cares deeply about her craft and about looking after her guests. Doyle is an amazing seafarer who shares his knowledge of the island and sailing with extraordinary generosity. We had such a wonderful and relaxing week, thank you to both.

Maya and Doyle Doyle,

Thank you for accommodating my enormous appetite. I was so fortunate to be taken care of by two of the most considerate people I’ve ever met this week. From sharing kite boarding boarding stories and tips, to healing via cucumber, I felt welcome, safe and comfortable. Between the tremendous sights and amazing food, this is a trip I will remember for the rest of my life huge. You two made something that was already incredibly special even more so. Hoping to see you both again sometime soon.

Doyle and Maya thank you for safely guiding us through this beautiful part of the world with grace and professionalism. We couldn’t have asked for more from our hospitable crew. We enjoyed so many wonderful meals and the accommodations were excellent. You two have many talents, and it was a pleasure to have been the recipients of your caring effort… much appreciated. Jim only called you Mrya once this week Maya but you’re probably not surprised! So, mom and dad, keep up the great work! We wish you many blessings on your journeys… Great teamwork! Thank you, thank you!

Doyle and Maya,

What an outstanding experience. We have taken this type of cruise before yet the level of professionalism and service that you exhibit is truly outstanding. You have an exceptional boat that is maintained to the highest level. Your owners should be proud that they have such an outstanding captain and chef. It is important to note that the food was great and always interesting and creative. Despite 30 knot winds all week there was never a question that we were in capable and competent hands with Doyle. Thank you for an exceptional experience!

Dave and Patty
February 2023
Capt. Doyle and First mate/Chef Maya,
Thank you both for a wonderful and outstanding cruise this week! Every detail was covered from the moment we stepped on the boat. They itinerary and choice of
“ports” to stop for the night were exceptional and so varied. The food was just delicious and we always eagerly looked forward to each and every meal. We now have a much greater appreciation of how special that BVI is. It was indeed a pleasure to get to know you a little better as a week went on. You are both true professionals!!

I’ve been on a number of these weeklong boat cruises and just wanted to say that Maya and Doyle were the best crew that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and sailing with. Both were so communicative, responsive, and most importantly just fun to be around. Maya’s culinary skills were top notch. Could have eaten her crab cakes all 6 days. Doyle’s local knowledge and instruction was excellent. I’m not big on writing reviews but just wanted to pass this along.

Thank you so much for making our first all inclusive trip the most amazing. Although not new to the islands, you both gave us a 5 star experience we will never forget. No detail was spared and fun was had by all. The food was exquisite and better than we could have ever ordered on shore. We are all truly sad to leave and consider you both now part of our friend group!

What a week of sailing with the legend himself, a cowboy at heart and a mystery in his own book. Doyle the one I would pick for my team any day. Also a big thank you to Chef and Maya for preparing great meals. Next time I might let you win a game, Maya. Thanks for a wonderful time and you two are welcome to come visit my world any time.
Thanks Again from the cowboy captain, “Beaver,” from South Dakota and his wife Michelle.

Words cannot describe the experience we have had Nae Kae over New Years. We love our time with you both and the special attention to detail you both put in was more than we could have ever imagined. Maya, your recipes were so well thought out and all included such special touches. There was nothing we would have changed. We so appreciate your attention to special/individual dietary needs and requests. You really have a special talent for cuisine!
Doyle has truly exceeded our expectations of a captain. Not only super capable and open to any itineraries but safe and proud of his boat and the comfort of his guests. Doyle, we had such a great time listening to your singing and guitar playing on our last night. It’s good to know you have a back up career thank you so much for making us all the most memorable trip ever!

Captain Doyle and Chef Maya what a week you gave us! Between the hospitality that you gave us all and the amazing views I do not know what else I could’ve asked for on this vacation. The two of you fit in so well with our group – if we had any other crew the vibe of the whole trip would have been totally different – glad we had you two! Doyle’s knowledge and sharing of life experience was very appreciated – Maya’s food would never disappoint and I’m excited to try to make some of her meals back home. Until our next charter!

Doyle and Maya, thank you guys very much for an amazing experience! The food was delicious and unique, it got us out of our comfort zone of hot dishes for every meal :) I cannot believe how fast the week went and will be wishing I was lying out in 80° weather as we sail off to the next island-especially when we return to whatever blizzard we missed.I will never forget this trip and you two truly did an outstanding job at making sure everyone was enjoying themselves! Take care and hopefully see you guys again.

What an amazing trip!!! I wouldn’t change a thing about this vacation. You get a very relaxing time with the best views and fantastic food. The experience I had on this trip will be a wonderful memory that will be in my mind forever. Doyle and Maya quickly became more than a crew but actually part of our group. So much fun!!! You will always have friends in South Dakota. Look us up if you were ever in the area. Thank you so much.

Chef Maya and Captain Doyle- thank you the trip of a lifetime! Everything has been perfect! The food has been fantastic! That key lime pie was to die for and I appreciate you taking my dietary restrictions into account and modifying things as needed! Such a relaxing time and an awesome mix of time on and off the boat. It’s hard to believe places like the Virgin Islands exist without seeing them with your own eyes! Sad to go back home tomorrow! Hope to sail with you both again and hope somehow our paths can cross in the future bye for now… ♥️

NAE KAE Maiden Voyage:
Absolutely best boat, best place, best crew!
Doyle and Maya took my family for a cruise of the BVI’s and what a wonderful trip we had. Capt. Doyle demonstrated sound knowledge of the BVI waters and special spots to hang out. Also, safety was a constant component of all we did. The boat is brand new; we were the maiden cruise. She is well designed for taking a family or friends on this type of trek on the water. It has plenty of space, nice toys for the kids and adults.
As for Maya she is an outstanding chef. The food she prepared was very tasty made from natural ingredients, making it fantastic. Pretty much everything she prepared was from scratch like homemade hamburger buns and homemade Pasta. We trolled lures off boat while underway and brought two beautiful Mahi Mahi’s aboard which were delicious. She also made unique cocktails, but if she offers to play cards with you be slightly cautious (lol)!
We learned that Capt. Doyle is an accomplished musician, so we got a few songs played and sang for us one evening, it was very magical. He is outstanding!
Overall, our family had a wonderful time and we would definitely do it again.

Our Nae Kae adventures with Captain Doyle and Chef Maya were amazing. Everything was thoroughly thought through. The boat felt so relaxing and at home. Every meal we had was amazing. The water toys, beaches, islands and fishing were perfect for my family. We had everything we needed and never felt like we needed to leave the boat. Every aspect of the trip was perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Doyle and Maya for everything!

Dear Tim and Maya,

This week aboard Oceanfront Property was truly a trip of a lifetime and you both exceeded our highest expectations! Tim’s captaining skills took us to glorious destinations and memorable experiences. Every destination was different with its own beauty and magic. We will forever remember the amazing snorkeling under the pier in Saint Croix and cocktails overlooking the crystal blue St. John waters. Your cocktails were out of this world Tim, thank you!

And, the food… you are such a talented and amazing chef, Maya! Every meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and a work of art. You have certainly encouraged us to “up“ our cooking game-your mastery of the use of herbs and seasoning is unsurpassed.

Thank you both for all the time and attention you gave to ensure that our trip was a magical, relaxing, adventurous, and unforgettable. We struck gold when we booked this trip with you as our crew… wow, just wow!

We hope you find your way to Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay~ If so, please let us know. We would love to take you on a boat ride, cook for you, and enjoy listening to Tim and Ralph playing guitars and crooning the night away!

With much fondness and gratitude,

Our trip was one of the BEST vacations we have ever taken with our friends. It was a unique and unforgettable experience, filled with great memories. Captain Tim and Chef Maya went above and beyond, and everything was complete perfection. Tim was not only a great Captain, but he was also funny, entertaining, AND a fantastic bartender whipping up Painkillers, refreshing Mojitos, and sinfully delicious Bushwackers. And as for Chef Maya, at the end of the trip, we wanted to take her home with us! Every meal was creative, beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and incredibly healthy. In fact, she opened our eyes to how food can be both healthy and scrumptious. and has inspired us to improve our culinary skills at home! It was truly an amazing experience with friends that exceeded our expectations. Ours wasn't an easy trip as we were tandem sailing with another group of friends on different boat for 7 nights, and both crews had to coordinate daily. The crew made the trip exceptional – they were super friendly, accommodating, highly attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome. They took us to amazing snorkeling/diving spots, beautiful coves/beaches, organized a surprise live concert on our boat (which was delightfully interrupted by a dolphin that graced us with its presence and allowed us to swim with it!!). We not only enjoyed Tim & Maya's service, but their company as well! Had a blast playing drinking games:) And Tim even belted out a few tunes on his guitar for us on the last night. The Oceanfront Property was a luxurious place from which to just stare into various blue colors of the US Virgin Islands. And we can't wait to do it again!"

Our trip with Oceanfront property has been so amazing! Absolutely “AMAZEBALLS”! The food was incredible. Tim and Maya are the best people you will ever meet. Maya’s cooking 10/10 always. Tim‘s bus driving skills 6/10, could be better. Just kidding. We love you guys so much! Oh also did you know we swam with turtles and went on the most magical beach is filled with hermit crabs. But watch out for the sea urchins!! Also make sure to ask Timmy and Maya for the full moon party pack..sorry waning gibbous moon party pack I mean!

Thank you Tim and Maya for a wonderful vacation. Maya created delicious and creative meals and snacks every day. The service was fabulous. Tim took us on an adventurous sale. They had great recommendations for beautiful settings every day. The beds were so comfy and we loved being rocked to sleep at night. Thanks for teaching us how to play Codenames-we have to get that one at home. We loved her ocean front property vacation!

Capt. Tim and Maya,

Thank you for providing us with a wonderful week on Oceanfront Property as we toured the Virgin Islands. We really appreciate all the hard work that you provided “behind the scenes” to give us a seemingly stress-free week. The meals were wonderful – so fun for us toe enjoy sharing a meal together. Some favorites – avocado toast, fruit platter, shashuka for breakfast, lobster bisque and crab cakes for lunch, homemade pasta with scallops, and freshly caught mahi mahi – yum! Not to mention the incredible Key lime pie and crème brulee. Thank you for teaching us some new games to enjoy with our family. So fun!

It has been a pleasure spending the week with you. Thank you, Tim, for accommodating our requests to spend some time with our cousin on the other boat. We also appreciate all the cool stops we made during our week – Christmas Cove, Caneel Bay, Pizza Pi, Lime out...

We had a fabulous time!

With fondness and appreciation,

Magie and Dick Beers.

Our first time to the USVI was fabulous thanks to Captain Tim and Chef Maya plus the Oceanfront Property which had a superb layout. Tim and Maya made us feel welcome from day one and put together an itinerary that took us to all three islands. A big adventure combined with incredible and tasty food, impeccable service, lots of spectacular scenery, and some wonderful friendships! Thank you Tim and Maya! Exclamation!

February 2022
Our trip on Oceanfront Property was nothing short of FABULOUS! Captain Timmy and Chef Maya left nothing out—wonderful snorkeling spots, outrageous sailing, exquisite meals, hilarious evenings of game-playing—every detail planned or spontaneous was considered and so appreciated. We will never forget this week and look forward to more trips with these two at the helm!

February 2022
Ditto to all the adjectives above that describes a week that exceeded our expectations. 5+ stars for sailing, snorkeling, hiking, and playing— Even more accolades for our crew of calm, competent captain Tim and the worlds #1 chef Maya. So much fun!!!

February 2022
Tim and Maya, you two were/are amazing. I had no idea what to expect on a trip like this, but this is more fun than anything I could’ve imagined. Maya, your creative cuisine that catered to all of our diet and your sense of humor were two of my most favorite things. Tim, your navigating and musical skills are most of mirable and beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of your many gifts with us, for being yourself, for allowing us to be ourselves, and for joining our makeshift family. We love you and feel blessed to have spent this time together, with you, in paradise.


February 2022
Tim and Maya the week was as amazing and special as you both are human beings. It didn’t take long to feel like family and we genuinely enjoyed our time connecting and wandering about the boat, the amazing food and all your knowledge of the islands. Tim-your amazingly talented at the guitar, lassoing a dock cleat, chopping an onion and swimming like your dinnghy depends on it. Thank you for taking such great care of us. Maya- you are a beautiful human with amazing cooking skills. I was doubtful that all the meals on the boat would be as plant-forward as my diet. You surprised and delighted us from the first meal to the last snack. It’s been so fun and we look forward to connecting again.

Peace and love,

It’s hard to imagine seven days and nights without a shred of disappointment but this is exactly what this trip has been: utter bliss and happiness and fun and adventure. Life with Tim and Maya aboard Oceanfront Property has exceeded my every expectation! It has been super fun getting to know them/you and we will miss you both not just because of the awesome environment you provided for us/ spectacular food, the perfect drinks at the perfect time, the best activities etc., but because you’re both such easy-going, interesting, and fun people.

Each day had been better than the last-how is that possible? ! Loved it all! Here’s our trip went: downpours we came aboard (so funny!), lunch and drinks and snacks on the beach, food, food, food, hikes and snorkels, band on a boat while watching from a raft-WHAT? Sailing ❤️, turtles, ruins, donkeys, drinks, drinks, drinks, games, games, dice (Perdudo), Codenames, Farkle, catching and eating fresh caught fish and volleyball, yahoo!! We also had so much fun making pasta and it’s you!! And our special dinner at 1864. A lifetime of great memories.

Tim made everything happen for us! Every day he planned was exactly what we wanted/needed. Maya was so creative and professional with her cuisine and presentation. We are so impressed with our crew!! Thank you!! We’re so grateful you took-us-on last minute everything worked out exactly as it should have! OMG. Miss you both already. Please keep in touch reach out if you’re ever in VT! It’s cold but also beautiful. You guys can cook if you visit :) I’ll go to the market for you.

Cheers and gratitude!
Love, love, love

I echo Julie’s words above but want to add a few more of my own. This is my 5th charter and hands down the BEST all because of you guys! I was so surprised to learn this was your first charter as a team as you were the perfect pair. Clayton’s boating and mechanical skills were complimented by Maya’s fantastic culinary skills. Both made their work seem effortless. We hope to see you again.

Captain Rob and Chef Maya,

Thank you for an amazing trip. The two of you were a great fit for our group. Delicious food, great service, new activities, and spots to see AND jumping right in with our sense of humor and jokes. Also, you were both cool under pressure when we needed you to be. We would do it again tomorrow. Thank you.

Rob and Maya-

Thanks for making my 50th Birthday celebration so special. It was the small touches that did not go unnoticed. From the special attention to our dietary requests to the Olympic dinghy flings, it was the details that made the trip extraordinary. We can’t thank you enough. Captain Rob’s primary concern was clearly out safety and comfort, honestly saved my life. Thanks Rob for the piggy back ride to the ambulance. I’m sure you’ll never have to do that again. Your effortless professionalism made a terrifying situation bearable. Maya jumped into every situation like a veteran. We were all surprised to find out it was her first trip. And the food was OUTSTANDING- thanks so much for the attention to detail. Little touches like the ginger tea at bedtime made the week exceptional. It I had to sum it up, I’d say it felt like you were on vacation with us this week, not for us- that’s the best!! We would travel with y’all anytime!!

Clayton and Maya,

Thank you for an incredible trip! You made every day so fun, comfortable, and delicious. Our boys could not have had a better experience- your itinerary created so many opportunities for them to try new things and for our family to create unforgettable memories. Clayton is so easy going but knows his stuff- completely unflappable! And Maya- the FOOD!!! You are a wizard. We are going home heavier and without regrets. Thanks for curating every snack and meal with such passion and care, even getting the boys to try new things. Thanks for your every day attention to detail and tidiness- both of you. We’d love to travel with you all again anytime and loved getting to know you. Wonderful hosts and people!!
