“Cam and Rhonda,
Our third annual 40th birthday “once in a lifetime trip” was again a once in a lifetime trip. The food was the best ever – we have been on great trips and truly you have talent. We have to run extra when we get home. Cam, you are the best entertainment director – wakeboarding, tubing, sailing – you kept us entertained the whole time. Thank you, can’t wait till next year!!”

Cam and Rhonda, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip, the humour, the food, everything!! Thank you for making our first trip to the BVI so wonderful and memorable.
David and Margaret Jamieson
PS Thanks for the gentle push to try scuba again. It was fabulous - here's one for the pacemaker crowd. Loved it, Dave
Dear Rhonda and Cam, 20 stops in 10 days- incredible! The only way to see the beauty of the BVI. The two of you make what you do look easy and your knowledge makes us feel safe and secure. Rhonda, stop cooking so well. I need to go on a program when I get home.
Rick
Cam and Rhonda, thank you both for an amazing 10 days of fun and awesome food. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Cam, thanks for all the help with diving experience - it was memorable. We look forward to doing it all again.
Jim
Cam and Rhonda, Thanks for 10 days of fun, sun and plenty of laughs. Food was great, sites were fantastic and as always, what happens in the BVI stays in the BVI.
Paul and Monica
Dear Cameron and Rhonda, Thanks so much for all the wonderful service. We have never felt so pampered. Cam, thanks for making my 1st warm weather dive a great experience. I'm now looking forward to many more. Rhonda, thanks for making "tramp surfing" so much fun. All in all a great 10 days. Hopefully we can do it again in the future. All the best to you both.

“Dear Cam and Rhonda,
Thanks so much for the great time, our family had the most fun ever! We had a blast diving, skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, kayaking and eating delicious food, yum yum! One of our favorite things that we ate was the key lime pie and that was a great birthday cake for Sam. Dives like the Rhone will be memories we will not forget ever. Nikki was happy to stay in the boat when everyone else was diving because it was sooo relaxing. Good think we didn’t burn you boat down during Hanukah!
Happy New Year!
From Nikki, Hailey, Sam, Michelle and Scott Budoff
PS - When you find yourself in New York please come and visit us.
We will miss you! Thanks for putting up with all the show tunes.”
“Dear Cam and Rhonda,
Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality. Our family had the most fabulous week living with you aboard Quest. Rhonda you are a culinary wiz in your tiny galley. The food and desserts were delicious. Cam, thank you for guiding and entertaining us while scuba diving, sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding and tubing. You are very patient and kind. This has been a memorable trip for all of us. Sam turned 19, Hailey and Nicole got certified to dive and we celebrated Hanukah in the gorgeous BVI. Thank you again for everything. We wish you safe journeys and lots of good luck! With love, Scott, Michele, Sam, Hailey and Nikki
PS - You are welcome to visit us when you find your way to New York… Hope to see you again!”

"Cam and Rhonda, Thank you for a trip of a lifetime. From the food to the sailing to the water sports to your kind care and patience with our children... everything was perfect.
Thank you for taking such good care of us and making us feel pampered. This has been an amazing journey for our family and a wonderful way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Now, instead of this being a once in a lifetime trip...we will try to make it an annual family event.
We will be back if you will have us!"

| | August 14, 2011 | “Your gift of hospitality and generosity of spirit made this the best family vacation we have ever taken. We were relaxed the minute we stepped on Quest and you made sure we stayed that way all week. The meals and snacks were simply wonderful and made with such love and care. We truly enjoyed being with you on this experience. Thank you!
We will tell all our friends and family about you and hopefully get you more charters – but we have a feeling you guys will do just fine next season and beyond!
God bless you both and many, many thanks from the Bowers family of PA. “

Much love, Garrett and Christine
| | July 28, 2011 | “Cam: Thank you for wearing those bright yellow fins and for finding the boat always after those awesome dives. As well as taking the responsibilities in all the other avenues of this awesome trip. I loved it, thanks!
Rhonda: Your food is the best. I wish our culture had 2 meals a day instead of 3 for your sake! Everything was a pleasure. Thanks big time! Peace! See you guys!”
Lots of love, Ted Jr.
“To Sous Chef Cameron and Captain Rhonda, the Quest and all of its amenities were, needless to say, OUTSTANDING! Ted and I planned this trip to celebrate family and relationships (very eclectic). The experience has been beyond description and all of my hopes. You and Rhonda have contributed and facilitated the best of the best. Words cannot express the appreciation I feel . Blessings to both of you.”
Love Sandy
“Dear Cameron and Rhonda, thank you for a great trip!”

“Rhonda and Cameron, thank-you for sharing your wonderful world with us this week. You made it so easy for us – family mega-bonding, a special view of God’s wonderful world especially the beauty beneath the surface. Your hard work, great cuisine, attention to detail and friendship are greatly appreciated! May the wind always be at your back and God’s blessings abound.”
All our love, Ted

| | June 2011 | "Rhonda and Cam,
What a time! You made it even more special for us. Rhonda, you work hard! Food was fantastic. Thank you for the "pounds" you added to us. Can honestly say that no restaurant can keep up with you.
Cam - what a master! Service was perfect. More than expected. Sailing was great. This time will be frozen in our hearts and memories. We will be one of your many voices out there.
Hope you can visit us in Dallas in your travels to Canada."

| | June 2011 | Cameron and Rhonda,
What an amazing time! Thank you for sharing your stories and time with us... Also for teaching us/allowing us to sail! It was an amazing experience.
Rhonda, the food was absolutely great - I would work with you in any kitchen, at any restaurant. Really the food was absolutely wonderful - and it was nice to have been on the reverse side (eating - and lots!) But also with the atmosphere that was provided - on the boat and around the boat - best restaurant I've been to in a long time (besides mine!).
Cameron, thank you for sailing and the lessons. It was wonderful to have learned and be allowed to take the helm a couple of times. The dive at Diamond Reef was great - thanks for the refresher course. All the snorkel spots were as promised and beautiful. There is not a negative thing I can say - well maybe "mosquito bay" after the quick storm, but that wasn't anyone's fault...ha ha ha.
The two of you have made an incredible vacation possible (best I've had in years!!). I will see you out here hopefully within a year - working or on board again... or both!"

| | April 2011 | Dear Cam and Rhonda,
Thank you very much for having us to stay. We all really enjoyed ourselves. The food was excellent and the sailing was great fun.
It was weird having three birthdays in 1 week but this made it even better.
We're very sad to be leaving so soon, but time passes when you're having fun. We hope that you have enjoyed this week as much as we did. (It may be quite hard!)
The sailing, snorkeling and being dragged around on the tube was great fun and hope that we may do it again some day.
Thank you for everything you have done for us.
From Phoebe | | April 2011 | This has been one of the best holidays of my life. I hope that the Quest and crew (thank you Cameron and Rhonda) will have many great days in the future!
Miguel | | March 31, 2011 | “Rhonda and Cam,
A week of fun and sun,
thank goodness the generators were run!
Lots of music we played,
while the boat rocked and swayed.
Rhonda's food was so great,
by the end of the trip we had gained weight!
The crew of the Quest
was definitely the best!
One day it may be we'll cross paths,
it could be at Foxy's or even the Baths!”

| | April 2011 | Thank you for a very spoiling week on board Quest. We had a thoroughly wonderful time. You have made us feel very welcome, the food was truly excellent, we really enjoyed the sailing, fishing, diving and snorkeling.
Thank you once again for a week my family and I will not forget.
You are fantastic hosts, thank you once again for your efforts.
Carlos | | March 18, 2011 | "Cam and Rhonda, thanks for making our week in the BVI such a memorable, wonderful experience. This was our 4th crewed yacht adventure, and it was by far the top-best! You quickly made us feel like old friends which made for a comfortable, easy-going experience all week. Your suggestions of stops and sites were spot-on. Rhonda, the food was consistently top notch, thanks.
It would be hard to pick any one part of the week as a favourite. I think that we got to re-experience all of our old favourite experiences from previous trips and discover new ones as well. The bubbly pools on Jost were great! It is a pleasure to be around people with a high standard of personal excellence, energy and attention to detail - and you guys delivered in this regard.
If you are ever in Montana, always remember there's a bunk for you at our place."

"As per my in-laws the Johnson's, we, too, would like to let Cam and Rhonda know that this sailing trip was so awesome for us,too. After being in snowy, cold Bozeman, MT this Spring Break 2011 was such a relaxing vacation. This was my first trip to the AVI/BVI and I loved it! The food that Rhonda cooked up in her little kitchen was FABULOUS - such a great chef. Cam was so very accommodating and generous - such a great captain! The attention to detail and superb service that Cam and Rhonda give to their boat is so awesome. We are fortunate to have met them and hope to perhaps sail with them again.
Thank you for such a great vacation."
Tristan and Matthew
| | March 2, 2011 | "Thanks Rhonda and Cam - you are both wonderful listeners and gently guided us seafarers towards the perfect week of sailing, snorkelling, kayaking and sightseeing in the beautiful BVI's.
We all loved and appreciated your calm and kind approach, looking after our every need. Rhonda - your cuisine was fabulous and Cam's bartending was great - loved the painkillers!
Thanks for arranging the 4 dolphins and 2 sea turtles! The tarpon, shark (we think) and the hungry bat show was awesome too!
We'll think of you both often as we battle the Canadian winters and wonder if the weather is still hot and the drinks still cold aboard the Quest. Happy sailing!

| | May 2011 | Cameron and Rhonda,
Thank you so much for such a fantastic tour of the Virgin Islands! You are the most down-to-earth people and we all feel so lucky to have gotten to know you. We'll never forget all of the great memories created on this trip, and wish you all the best in the future! Thanks again for everything!
Slater, Erin, Anand and Maddy | | Feb 21, 2011 | Cam and Rhonda
Words are difficult to find to describe our week on the Quest. The experience was more wonderful than any of us expected. The week started with a wonderful welcome and fantastic lunch and just got better and better. The dives were fabulous – the Rhone, Dogs, Cistern point, etc., etc. and the snorkeling was fantastic as well.
We saw everything we wanted to see and more. We got everything we wanted and the extra 10 lbs!!! You were wonderful hosts, we have never been treated so well and had so much fun.
Chef of the Quest, Rhonda’s the best!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Thank you for a wonderful vacation in the BVI paradise! Rhonda, please have guests sign a responsibility waiver – I started the cruise a little fat. Now I am really fat! Fabulous meals and desserts, thank-you.
We had a great time snorkeling at Norman Island. Great times at Bitter End and the best time at the Baths on Virgin Gorda. Thanks for putting up with all of us Cam and Rhonda. You both are great fun!
I wish we went for 2 weeks!

Thank you for an amazing trip. I wish I could have stayed longer. You made the trip a vacation of a lifetime. I enjoyed getting to know you and hearing your various stories. The food was amazing. Thank you!

| | January 2011 | Cam and Rhonda,
Thanks for a great week! I couldn’t have asked for a better time or a more competent crew. You both made our experience uniquely wonderful. Rhonda, wonderful cooking, amazing how you made something so different each night. Thanks for the extra 10 pounds I will bring home as a souvenir. Cam, I loved manning the sails with you. You have a hell of a lot more patience than I do. If you are ever sailing the east coast give me a shout and we can swap some sea stories over a glass of rum.
Cheers,
Peter
| | January 2011 | Thank you for a wonderful week of family fun! Cam and Rhonda, you have done a fabulous job of making everyone comfortable, well-fed and very spoiled! The weather was a challenge for us all, but you truly made it so wonderful for us. There are not enough positive glowing records to describe the cuisine. Thank you, thank you!

You are both special people. See you again and maybe in Connecticut too.
All the best,

| | December 2010 | Rhonda and Cam,
Thanks you so very much for a wonderful vacation. This is a holiday season we will always remember… and 36th anniversary and ??? birthday and Christmas.
Thanks for all your “touches”; anniversary cake, Christmas gift, wonderful meals, etc. It was great being back on Quest and you both made it a special time.
We hope to see you again in the not too distant future. Have a very happy and healthy 2011 and thank you again for everything.
Sincerely,
Barbara and Randy

| | November 2010 | Cameron and Rhonda,
Thank you for the amazing week aboard Quest. We loved all the water sports - snorkeling, tubing and the kneeboard. Loved the mooring spots, especially Norman Island.
Food was awesome. The ribs were the best, worthy of Texas BBQ anytime! Kids loved the desserts and daily treats.
Thanks again and hope to see you again in 2011.

We have had lots of wonderful vacations...but none that will leave us with the experiences and memories that this trip did. QUEST was the PERFECT boat for us, and Cameron and Rhonda exceeded our expectations each and every day. The food, the sights, the service...it was all absolutely amazing! 5 out of the 6 of us had never sailed the BVI's ... and we will ALL be back again. Thank you for all the work you did to make sure our trip was exactly what we were looking for -- right down to the birthday cake for Joy's birthday and the champagne for New Year's Eve. There was NOTHING left that you didn't think of -- and NOTHING that we would do differently. We will be back...THANK YOU for one of the best weeks of our lives!!!!!!!

Cam and Rhonda were just amazing hosts. Very flexible and helpful with everything. We will definately request them again. They were great with our kids and attended to our every need.
