Reviews

December 2023
This has been the most relaxing and beautiful vacation of my life. We spent a week with our four adult kids on Tapas. Captain Rob and Chef Ashley took incredible care of us. They planned perfect, itineraries and menus. The boat is also a gem. We spent several hours a day relaxing on the fly bridge - talking, playing cards, reading and also enjoying the view. And if you have tall people in your group, the tall ceilings are great. Three of our kids are taller than 6'8" and they were comfortable instead o crouching. But really, the crew made the trip so wonderful. Both were so gracious and helpful which made it easy. We take home many fond memories of quiet moorings, beautiful beach bars, volleyball on the beach, swimming with fish and turtles and lingering at the table after delicious meals. I am already scheming about coming back!
November 20, 2023
My wife and I, and 7 or our closest friends just completed a magnificent 6 days aboard the Tapas, piloted by Rob and his partner Jackie. The following are characteristics of our experience:

The professionalism of the crew is outstanding - clearly 5 star - gold star.
Service is comparable to any highly rated Michelin restaurant.
Menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner are top quality.
Cleanliness - the living quarters are spotless and kept that way.
Cordiality - both Rob and Jackie make you feel right at home.
The ship - One of the finest we have been on. It is engineered both structurally and comfortably.
In closing, I will say this has been the best vacation we have ever been on, and my wife and I have traveled extensively (Europe, Middle East, South America, and numerous cruises. This experience has been the best, made the best by Rob and Jackie!
November 2023
To Rob & Jackie,

you've been the best hosts and we've all absolutely loved our time on board Tapas! It's hard to pick a highlight, from Robs' famous painkiller cocktail (better than Soggy Dollar) to Jackie's delicious samosas and snapper risotto, swimming to The Baths and snorkeling at The Indians, we've enjoyed every moment.

Wishing you both the best of luck with the rest of the season. We're envious of the other guests who will be sailing with you!

Thanks so much,
Elena
