What clients say about Marcelle
An incredible charter through the Cyclades
We had an absolutely incredible charter aboard WHITE CAPS. The catamaran was beautiful and impeccably maintained. A special thank you to Marcelle Hailwax at DMA Yachting, she was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She patiently answered all of our questions, was always available, and made the entire planning process seamless.

Marcelle researched several possible catamarans for our BVI trip, then we had a phone call to go over particulars. She was right there through the booking and wiring of funds. After we met the crew and filled out our preference sheets and itinerary, she stayed on the WhatsApp thread with us and the crew. After our trip we had another call so she could get feedback.
