Below is a very nice note I received from a Honeymoon couple I booked aboard CRYSTAL CLEAR.

Dennis,

Jennell and I just loved our trip through the British Virgin Islands aboard CRYSTAL CLEAR. Thank you for the help in finding a boat and crew that met our expectations and dreams. As you know we were on our honeymoon, celebrating our marriage, and we could not have picked a better way to do it.

This boat was more than we had hoped for, very clean and beautiful with lots of teak wood. Charly and Carolina are great. Carolina works so hard. What she does on a boat would be difficult on land but she makes it look so easy. She is very warm and friendly. We just loved her.

Charly is a magnificent chef and every meal was exceptional. He could work as a chef anywhere he pleased. He allowed us to learn a little bit about sailing, and he takes very good care of his vessel. Neither of us had ever been on a sail boat before, but with a crew taking care of our every need, it was exactly what we were looking for after the grueling weeks leading up to the wedding.

It was a perfect blend of relaxation, snorkeling, walks on the beach, and more relaxation. Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into helping us create the perfect honeymoon. Please send our best to Charly and Carolina.

Jennell and Randy

EXTRAORDINARY YACHTS
VICTORIA - 48' Swan Sloop
Captain Klaus Weinmüller and Chef /1st Mate Martha Cabada

For those that love a very traditional yacht VICTORIA fits that bill to a tee. From the Gold Leaf lettering on her stern to her fabulous interior she just gleams. This yacht is perfect in every way. In my opinion this well maintained yacht was one of the bright stars at this fall's boat show in the BVI.

The boat is only half the story here. I also had the opportunity to meet her crew, who I felt were delightful. Klaus and Martha make you feel welcome the moment you meet them. They have great fun loving personalities and lots of energy to see to it that you will be thoroughly entertained while onboard.

VICTORIA accommodates two guests very comfortably in a king size berth in the forward en-suite cabin, which by the way is ideal for Honeymoon couples.

If there was an official rating system in the charter yacht industry, I feel this yacht and her crew would be awarded 5 Star Rating.
