| GUESTS COMMENTS | | DEC. 31, 2011: |
This has been a sailing vacation for the record books. We have never had as much fun as we did with the two of you. Rail down, big waves.
The food was perfect, the menu fresh and copious, and the company outstanding.
We will be back.
Thank you
John and Cheryl | | In Grenada | March 14, 2007:
A honeymoon we will never forget! Perfect amount of adventure, relaxing, and some of the most amazing snorkeling and water we have seen. Sandy Island,(Carriacou), was a true paradise.
Bijan, you were an amazing host/captain from beginning to end make a terrific rum punch.
Barbara we enjoyed every meal you prepared, as we were totally spoiled for the whole four days.
Thank you both. The wonderful honeymoon will always be in our memory.

| NEWPORT TO MANHATTAN | I sailed with Captain Bijan from NEWPORT to the HUDSON RIVER 79th Street Boat Basin.
Bijan's automatic pilot and electric sheet winches and the main halyard winch allow him to siglehand his 62 ft. DYNAMIQUE sloop.
His ballet training provides catlike movements to tend to all of ANAHITA'S required tasks.
His involvement in high fashion business included opening and managing, together with his ballet dancer wife, LOTHAR'S FRENCH FASHIONS SPORTSWARE STORES on RODEO DRIVE in LA, and across from BERGDORF'S.
Come meet him at the EXPLORERS CLUB BARBECUE July 25th at the clubhouse 46 East 70th Street.

| | A fun and beautiful boat. | Dear Bijan,
Thank you for a special vacation. You are a wonderful man with a wonderful boat. A fun and beautiful boat with a great captain cruising through paradise. Arrived as strangers, leaving with memories of new friend and great memories. Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime. We all fell in love with you......
| | The sailing was great | Appolo and I have just spent the last week abord S/Y Anahita. We did some water skiing and snorkling. The sailboat performed very well under many different points of sailing.
We did two of our favorite hikes, one on Peter Island, and the other on Virgin Gorda.
The crew Captain Bijan, and cook Carmen were delightful and extremely pleasant. They worked very hard to satisfy our every whim. But when all was said and done we will miss them both. We truly hope that our paths will cross again.
An extremely delightful week, with a fabulous picnic on the beach on Anegada, and return to Sandy Spite Island with it's idyllic palm tree.
Wishing the both of you good winds,
Truly yours,
Taylor and Appolo |

Thank you very much for a fabulous week. A perfect way to turn 40. the whole family had a perfect holiday. I loved Anegada- the coral island- perfect white sand beech. We played shipwrecked pirates. A holiday in paradise. We will be back. thank you. Lucy
We have had a great time on Anahita. I have really enjoyed all of the activities. I liked the food. I have improved my water skiing a lot. I loved snorkeling at the choral reefs.

| Maine Charter in August 2007 | Dear Bijan:
Sorry to be so slow getting back to you. I am still dreaming of the trip.
I think there could not be a better place to sail in August than Maine. Perfect cool weather, especially if one comes from a hot place, wonderful little harbors, both inhabited and not,
pefect scenery and great water for sailing. We could have used a little more wind, but certainly had some good ones, and hey, you take what you get in that department. Anahita was a great boat to make the trip on -- lots of sun, protection from the rain and wind if you want it, and great comfort, yet a boat capable of handling anything. When friends ask where I was, they are all terribly envious. I'd go again in a minute!
Best regards to you -- I hope the two week trip is as successful as ours was.

To: Bijan Judy and Fran,
I enjoyed enormously a 2 weeks' cruise with you all. Going to Roque Island was a unique experience, a highlight amongst others. Friendship forged while sailing is like discovering the truth that friendship may endure.
May your future have fair winds and calm seas.
Sincerely,
Elihu YOrk MD

Dear Bijan,
I enjoyed cruising along the Maine coast with you aboard S/Y Anahita. The boat is well balanced and sails well on all points. Going well to windward particularly is the test of a sailing vessel.
May you have fair winds and gentle seas.
El York, (Elihu YOrk MD)
Captain, US Naval Reserve, retired, (1963-1988) | | July 2008- French Riviera | Thank you very much for a great time. This has definitely been the highlight of our vacation.
We have created so many memories these past week. It was great we were able to share one of the most important moments of our lives- our engagement-
with you.
Thanks again, and maybe one day we will meet again.

| January 2009- Grenadines to Grenada | Dear Bijan & Roseanne:
We had a blast on our second charter with you! Thank you for all the special places you showed us: Like Tobago Cay's, Palm Island, Sandy Island, in Carriacou, and Saline Bay, (Amazing sunset).
We loved being on the open seas on Anahita. What a fortunate opportunity to have been able to sail with you on this lovely trip.
We loved the Grenadines more than the BVI's in that the weather was so much warmer, the water bluer, and the islands much greener.
Leslie, Rick, Michael and I are grateful to know you.
Love,
Kathleen, NYC |

| May 2 - June 1, Antigua to Horta, Azores to Gibraltar | It is fair to say that- Having only sailed in the Mediterranean, and never in "Proper" oceans- I was somewhat worried regards crossing the Atlantic, my journey into the un known! I needn't have worried: From the moment I stepped aboard I felt at ease and very much enjoyed the crossing.
So many things for making it so easy: Well hosted!!
Best wishes to you both for much happiness together, kind seas and fair winds.,
If you ever find your way to York make sure you look me up.

| January 30, 2011 St. Kitts | Dear Bijan and Roseanne:
Our fourth trip in four years. We have sailed the West Indies with you from Petite St. Vincent to St. Martin, ( And of course a lovely sejour along the coast of Maine).
This trip from St. Martin to St. Barth, Statius, Saba, St. Kitts and Nevis was magnified from the truly remarkable gourmet kitchen commanded by Roseanne to the superb sailing under Bijan’s guiding eye.
No detail was too small, no kindness overlooked. Your hospitality is without peer.
We all have had a wonderful rested week.
Warmest best wishes,
Stef and Lezlee - Al and Audrey

| March 13-20 2010 USVI-BVI | Bijan and Roseanne:
We have greatly enjoyed a memorable week of sailing and good companionship: so much better than either a cruise line or a resort!
Great sailing with superior seamanship, and great cuisine at the table with gourmet surprises everyday. We look forward to sailing with you both at a future date to explore new places and renew our new friendship.
With warmest personal regards,
Ted and Kirstin |
