To the lovely crew,
8 days was not enough with you! In fact, when I sat down to write this last night, I got teary and was not prepared to say goodbye. You are the dream team in every sense.

Thank you for what has undoubtedly been the best week of our lives! Everything was absolutely perfect, thanks to all of you.
Captain Des - nightly storytime with you was the best! You kept us laughing and we learned so much about the beautiful islands. We also loved getting to see your family's home on Norman's - so beautiful!
Chef Antone - thanks to you our clothes don't fit after a week of spectacular meals! You exceeded all of our expectations and blew it out of the water every time. We still can't stop talking about these ribs on the private island!
Tavana - you are the queen of cocktails and just the loveliest, most friendly person ever. You always kept smiling and going the extra mile to help us make memories. We adore you!
Luke - you are amazing. You documented every part of our trip to ensure that we'd have a beautiful reminder of this week. You never got stressed or tired (or at least you hid it well), you gave us fantastic trips, kept us safe on the toys, and were just great to be around.
Truly, the crew made this trip - we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and hard work. We will never forget our week on M/Y Emrys!

Dear Meg, dear Des, dear Rob, dear Antone. It's hard to express how much we enjoyed but we can try with a poem:
On crystal blue waters we did sail,
With a crew kind and without fail
Meg, Des, Rob, and Antone were their names
Their service and smiles put us at ease, without any strains
Their kindness and generosity were truly a treat,
Making our trip a memory we’ll always repeat
From navigating the ship to serving meals,
Their skills were truly impressive
We felt safe and so well taken care of
Their attention to detail truly impressive
We’ll remember the memories we made,
Cruising on the sea of the Bahamas with you
And we’ll look back on our journey
With gratitude and fondness of you
We love you!

To our Emrys family,
What a fantastic week have had aboard. Your attention to detail was evident daily.
Antone... you never missed a beat. Everything was prepared perfectly. Every meal we had tasted different from the last. They were picture-perfect. The flavors were paired so well with each course. We will miss all the beautiful pastries customized for us. We hope to read about you in the next Michelin Guide.
Rob... always ready, willing, and definitely able to keep us occupied even though we were and really enjoyed being on Emrys for most of the day. Loved waking up and seeing you smiling from sunrise to sunset. What an asset!!
Des... you have gone above and beyond with all of our requests. And I know they weren’t easy to fulfill. We really enjoyed your familiarity with the islands and learned so much about the area. You made us feel comfortable and safe on and off the water. A truly skilled captain and a wonderful person as well. Thank you for all of your hard work. It did not go unnoticed.
Megs, Megs, Megs...Emrys would not be the same without you. You have catered to our every request. Always ready with the daily cocktail, confirming that we are still content with our menu for the day, always checking on us, going above and beyond as well as making sure we are always full and well “hydrated.” Your attention to detail with your decorations made every meal feel different than the last. Thank you as well for fulfilling our requests for reservations and appointments. That was much appreciated. You are fantastic!!
We will miss our Emrys family and hope to return soon.

Dear Des, Megs, Rob, and Anthon,
Thank you for an amazing time on Emrys. You all went above and beyond taking us snorkeling, lobstering, fishing, tubing, and playing with water toys... Megs waiting with a yummy smoothie when we returned. The memories on Emrys are many but to highlight a few – spearfishing and getting a lobster that Anthon prepared for lunch the next day, fishing and catching a Wahoo, and again, Anthon preparing it jerk style and grilled with your amazing homemade sauces and Pico de Gallo. Cruising, snorkeling, looking for conchs, and Anthon preparing amazing conch chowder. Feeding the pigs and iguanas, nurse sharks, snorkeling the shipwreck and seeing reef sharks, a plane crash, going to the beach and finding shells, snorkeling down to the mermaid and piano.
Each of you worked all day to make our trip so special. Megs, you always made everything perfect. From decorating and making the boat so festive, always checking to make sure we had everything we wanted, keeping the boat immaculately clean and organized, making us delicious smoothies when we retuned from our excursions, having clean towels waiting, filling us in on the Bahamian ways, you are amazing.
Anthon, you will have to roll us off the boat. Thank you for your amazing meals. You are a pro. You were so kind to make everything from scratch from the delicious Thanksgiving dinner, homemade sauces and dressings, preparing our catches for us, your variety and thoughtfulness and time making breakfast lunch and dinner each day.
We appreciate you Des and Rob, you made the trip so fun with the incredible excursions. Your endless energy always willing to take us to snorkel, tube, fish, play on the beach, explore the coral reefs, and kept us entertained from sun up to sun down and more. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in planning our days and always being helpful with what we would see and explaining what we needed to know and do.
We had an amazing time thanks to each of you. We know we have left out numerous memories, but we just wanted you to know what an amazing vacation this was thanks to each of you. You each add so much to our experience and we can't thank you enough.

Celebrating a 2022 graduate from UNC, a 2020 graduate (who never for a celebration due to covid), and two birthdays! What a fabulous week. We had to change our trip itinerary to adjust for a tropical storm, but even so this amazing crew made it all happen! We swam with the pigs, the sharks, the rays... we snorkeled with the turtles! Caught two glorious Mahi Mahi (the fish so nice they named it twice)! We water skied, wake boarded, paddle boarded, explored private beaches. Had lunch off boat at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, dinner off boat at McDuffs at Norman Cay. We got to swim around Pablo Escobar’s sunken airplane at Norman – which was one of the highlights of the trip. But the primary highlight was the incredible crew! Des, Megs, Justin, and Anthon. Wow! Did we score the perfect group for our experience. Everyone was so attentive to our every need – the service was over the top excellent. Outstanding in every way. We especially loved the welcome towels with peppermint scent and the variety of shot cocktails! The theme dinners with appropriate decorations were awesome too – and the food!! Michelin 5-star!! The chef’s table on our final night was a huge hit! The *** family will be back again for sure. Many many thanks for making our experience so extraordinary. We had such a great week on board despite having to navigate some tricky weather. Kudos to this crew for an awesome ‘pivot’ and for making it so much fun along the way.

I cannot say enough great things about this crew. It was almost like they could read our minds. Everything was amazing. The food was incredible.
My grandson said that another yacht trip would not be as great if we didn’t have this crew!

Guest One:
This experience has been absolutely sublime. The wonder of the excursions to the iguanas, swimming pigs, nurse sharks, and the pure joy of playing in the water and napping in the sun provided the relaxation that I solely needed.
The food was excellently prepared, the drinks intoxicatingly delicious, and the appointments of the boat sumptuous.
What made this trip perfect was not the events and food, however it was the graciousness, charm, fun, and fabulousness of Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean. These are the best hosts ever and the trip would not have been the same without them.
Thank you!
Guest Two:
Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean,
Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!
Your knowledge, professional demeanor, and attention to detail are superb. You should all get raises! But most importantly, you are just plain wonderful! It has been a joy getting to know you.
The Bahamas are dazzling, but the four of you really made the trip shine!
Guest Three:
Des, Megs, Justin, and Jean,
Ya’ll rock! This week has been amazing. Thank you for taking such excellent care of us and making this the best vacation ever. The way you tailored each day and then went with the flow to make sure each of us had the best time shows that you really cared. Getting to talk to you and learn a little of your stories was also a high point. I truly hope we have a chance to hang out again someday!
Guest Four:
Des Megs, Justin, and Jean,
The care, kindness, creativity, and hospitality of this crew is unmatched. For a compact crew, you demonstrate an outsized capacity to meet our needs – both known and unknown. Before a thought was formed, an answer/drink appears. While the paradise of the Bahamas is its own delight, this has been an extraordinary experience because of each of you, and I am grateful!

So you can imagine a family who has visited the Exumas/Bahamas many times before, we had very high expectations. To say that you exceeded all of them is a true measure of your commitment to share your love for this beautiful place with us. We cannot thank you enough for accommodating our crazy food requests. That was obvious when you delivered a “Kit Kat” birthday cake to the Kit Kat birthday girl! It makes the parents so happy when the kids are over the moon and appreciating every moment as much as we did, and I mean every moment.
Each excursion, each meal, each table decor, each special touch. They all added up to one of the best vacations we have ever had and we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips. So bravo Team Emrys, we will remember this trip as one of the best and that has everything to do with the four of you!
Thank you, we so appreciate everything you did for us and we look forward to our return.

Thank you Des, Meghen, Joel, and Justin for making it a trip of a lifetime once again. Everyday you made sure we had a new experience and everything was done with a “wow” factor. Meghen and Des, your attention to detail is amazing.
As you know, we have done a fair amount of charters and no one comes close to your ability to make a vacation the best it can be. We love your stories, knowledge, dedication, kindness, and company. We will follow you anywhere. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.
Meghen, we wish you the best on your endeavours of shutting the box. We’re confident you will triumph, please let us know when this happens. We hope your leg heals soon.
Joel, your talents in the kitchen are unparalleled! Our first meal was fantastic and every meal after it got better and better. How did you do that?!
Justin, you fit in as one of the family and we enjoyed your sense of humor on game night. We adore you.
Thank you for the wonderful memories. We will cherish them forever.
Until next time.
***March 25 - April 1, 2021***
Thank you for a magical voyage. Des, Megan and Justin. You made each day a joy filled with extraordinary excursions, each day was even more magical. And Joel-you are such a talented chef. Every meal was stupendously delicious. The cauliflower pasta was the bet pasta I ever tasted! The ribeye, the fajitas the chicken, the best ever!
All of you are so special. Megan- your birthday decorations were just amazing, you could start your own business. The jet skiing and the tubing was hilarious and fun! You, the crew made our trip the most wonderful trip I have ever had. You are our new family. I could write 20 pages about each fantastic memory. but then there would be no room for the other guests to write! Justin – you made our excursions so phenomenal and you have gotten us to love jet skiing again. Bravo to you all – I truly mean it when I say you are the number one crew I have ever experienced. Always present to help and bring us anything we needed. My only sadness is leaving you. As I feel like home here with the extraordinary Emry’s family. What an experience. One I will never forget because of you!! Be safe and happy until we meet again! May God hold you all in the palm of his glorious hand!

Thank you for a week filled with joy and laughter! It was a pleasure to get to know each of you and to share special time together, in what for me is a truly magical place. I am so appreciative of all the care and kindness you showed to me and to Julie as we embarked on our endless adventures.
Des, you are a consummate professional. A week at anchor is no easy feat and you made it seem effortless. Thank you for keeping us safe, for introducing us to one gorgeous vista after another and for filling each day with variety!
Meg, your attention to every detail of our days and evenings made the trip exceptional. Thank you for keeping us filled with easy conversation, laughter, new prank and prank rattlers!
Joel, you make a mean Dijon rosemary chicken, let alone the birthday cake!! Thank you for getting my veggies in and preparing so many delightful, delicious meals with laughter and a smile! Justin, you are the Best jetski driver anyone could wish for. Thank you for making each day so much fun and for ensuring every excursion we took was a perfect blend of activity and relaxation.
I feel lucky to have been witness to the amazing team dynamic you all share. I hope the pictures tell more of the story and serve as a happy reminder of a truly fabulous week. Thank you for what I hope will be the first of many happy trips together!
Please convey our sincerest thanks to the owners for allowing us to share in the joy they must feel every time they step onboard MY EMRYS

Different boat, same spirit. We told you we would follow you wherever you go. This new boat doesn’t know how lucky it is to have such a special crew, but they will quickly see your uniqueness and your gift for showing people what it means to live in the moment. You have become part of our family. Not sure what was more fun seeing you all laughing on the hotdog, or watching you play charades. We wish you had more time to enjoy yourselves. We know you are working around the clock to make each trip magical. And we appreciate you always going above and beyond, from the amazing food, to the super cool adventures, keeping us safe, making us feel special, and always sharing good laughs.
Sarah, hands down the best food any of us have ever had, no matter where we’ve been in the world, or what restaurants we have ever been to. You are beyond talented. Justin, the girls give you a 10 out of 10 for tubing experiences. One minute we are hanging on for our lives, the next we are being cruised around a beautiful island to see the colors of low tide. Meghen, is there anything you can’t do? You are so quick witted, and have the best sense of humor. We could listen to you all day. You somehow can read people’s minds, and before we can even ask for something, it suddenly appears.
Captain Des, Tyler will never forget you teaching him how to navigate through the ocean. It takes a special person to have so much patience with children. And our children look up to you as a role model. Thank you for the very serious life lessons you have taught them. We are fortunate to have someone so genuine in our lives. You took us nonstop exploring, showing us how to respect other people, other cultures, and the world around us. Thank you all for sharing your life stories with us. You are amazing people. It’s always difficult to leave you guys. The impact you have on all of us, especially our children, makes us better people. We hope in life that your kindness comes full circle, and you get everything you deserve and more. The hardest part of leaving isn’t leaving the ocean it’s leaving all of you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being you. We love you!!!
