“BVI - a charter trip we will never forget.”
Our BVI chartered catamaran trip was a year in the making where we were to celebrate our dear friend's retirement. Chris de kock was great to work with and provided everything promised. We had an issue several weeks prior to our trip with our scheduled captain having to bail due due to personal issues. Chris quickly worked with the boat manager and found replacements (Jess & Devon). Jess and Devon were fantastic and the food for 8 of us exceeded all expectations. They truly made this trip one we will never forget. I plan on passing Chris's info along to several friends that would like to do the same trip. Our best decision was to hire a captain and chef, which allowed us to kick back and fully enjoy the experience.

“We simply loved TiAmo”
Excellent communication throughout from Chris at DMA, the boat, the crew and the experiences were all outstanding. Captain Eleni, Iliana and Marina onboard TiAmo were simply the BEST! Professional, courteous, fun, great at their jobs…we had a blast with them. The boat was perfect for our group of friends, the weather and the islands, the ports we visited were simply amazing. I’d recommend DMA, but more specifically, TiAmo and her crew!

“I can highly recommend Charter Broker Chris at DMA”
I can highly recommend Charter Broker Chris at DMA Yachting. I recently tasked Chris to find a last minute charter for myself and my 3 teenage children. He provided me with 3 exceptional catamarans to choose from and worked tirelessly to meet my family’s needs. He was always available to answer all of my questions and meet our specific requirements. [...] I can honestly say that after many years of chartering sailing yachts I have never experienced such a high level of hospitality, service and professionalism as I did on Captain Jake’s and Maia’s ‘A3’. Many thanks to Chris at DMA for your exceptional service and I look forward to working with you in the future. Tim Peru, VT
