| GUESTS COMMENTS | | January 2009 | We just returned from one week aboard the Catatonic and just wanted to tell you what a fantastic vacation we had! The crew great and work so hard -- they also truly love the boat and take such good care of it. The meals were delicious, the pace so leisurely and the scenery breathtaking. Our boys had a blast. As an added bonus, I can't remember a time when all 5 of us shared 3 meals a day for 7 days together. My husband is away traveling for work most of the time and it was so nice to have the time together as a family just sitting around talking. If we'd been at a hotel, they would be off doing other things.
Please feel free to use us a reference for potential guests if you ever need one.
Thanks for the pleasure of sailing on the beautiful Catatonic.

|  |  |  | | February 2009 | We have just arrived to Trellis Island on the final day of our voyage. Tim and I have had a "remarkable" trip and credit you fully for the experience. The crew is quite a talented and delighted us at every moment with delicious treates making her way quickly into our hearts. Your kindness, constant attention, and humor we will remember always. We will hold our memories of Catatonic dear and hope to meet again someday. Again, thank you!
Fondly,
Kristine & Tim Schenk |  |  |  | | March 2009 | I want to take you home with me...For many reasons. But since I can't I will miss you but I will remember how good you guys were to us. Thank you so much for everything. -Matt
Thanks you so much for a Lazy Sunday...what?! Chronicles of What...Narnia!?! You are by far the best crew an East coast Canadian could hope for. Thank you for the food, the booze, brownies, and memories. -Anita
It started as a surprise birthday week for a 60 year old geezer & finished as a week of renewal for our family. You allowed us all the renew our friendship and create new ones with you both! Life is a journey of various components, building credibility & credits as we plan for the future! A trip such as we have enjoyed gives us the opportunity to pause & appreciate each other. Thank you both for the memoriies! - Jack (birthday boy)
It started as anticipation of my Dad's surprise and turned into a week of fun & laughter. Not only am I continously surprised & enamored by my family, I was thrilled that our crew was part of the group. We had a week of fun & sun as we as a great dive in the islands. At this time, I cannot find the words to describe the adventure we were able to take. The food was another love and the presentation was artful.I look forward to the next time our family can be together. I also look forward to the next time we can enjoy your crew, as they were instrumental in making it happen. They truly showed us the Virgin Islands & allowed us to have an incredible experience. Thank you! - Tevis
Thanks so much for an absolutely fabulous week. Sometime when you look forward to something for such a long time and then when it happens it is never what you expect. This was more than any of us could have wished for. Thanks for taking such good care of us. Food was better than a 5 star!
Thanks you two! - Bonnie |  |  |  | | March 2009 | Thank you very much for making the trip amazing. I had a lot of fun learning poker and eating the amazing banana dessert. I had an amazing time! Thanks you!!! - Sophie (Age 13)
I really liked the hamburger and the banana pound cake. I also liked learning to play poker! - Conrad (Age 11)
|  |  |  | | April 2009 | I loved the vacation and I am extremely sad that I am leaving today. I have been to the Virgin Islands on a charter 4 times and this has definitely been my favorite charter by far and would love if we could do the charter with you come next year. Hopefully next year I can learn to knee board!! - Morgan
P.S. Oh and thank you very much for teachimg me poker/Texas hold 'em
Thank you for all your effort. As a family we had a wonderful time and we will remember the two of you on our cold winter nights. Your food was fabulous, too fabulous, not a great start to my cycling season. I won't forget our sail from Anegada, thank you for that experience. We look foward to next year, it will give me time to hone my "poker" skills. - Brad
Thank you Brian and Jen for all of your hard work making this trip really fun. We had a blast, the food was very good and tasty. Thanks for teaching us Texas hold �em and if we have the pleasure to go with you again, I hope we can play some more. I also thank you for taking us to Anegada because a lot of boats don�t go there. So, thank you for making this the best Caribbean vacation ever!!! - Garrett
Jen & Brian,
Thanks for a wonderful week. From �Kittens� to �Texas hold �em� we enjoyed it all!! Hope to see you again next year. We wish you guys lots of fun and adventure always. If you ever come to Cananda, look us up! Fantastic food, great sailing & good company.
Thanks again! Hugs, Susan
|  |  |  | | May 2009 | Being with you on Catatonic has been like a dream come true! We could not have asked for a better captain or chef! You truly pampered us beyond belief. The stops were fantastic - loved Norman Isle, the bubbly pool, kayaking, snorkeling, trunk beach! And the food was incredible. You are truly our favorite restaurant chef ever! You have the perfect balance of allowing family time and yet when we are with you, you feel like faimly too.
Thanks for the best vacation ever! We will never forget our week on Catatonic of the happy memories together. - Laura |  |  |  | | June 2009 | | We had a blast on Catatonic - kayaking and snorkeling right off the back of the boat, reading on the trampoline, watching the horizon from the captain's deck, and just catching some sun. THIS is how a vacation should be - totally relaxing, amazing food, great tunes, awesome sailing, WOW! This is the first time I've ever seen my husband not wear a watch - THAT's how relaxed we were! We can't wait to come back! |  |  |  | | July 2009 | We have been reflecting for the last couple of days on what was absolutely one of the most enjoyable weeks/vacations of all time. Thanks again.......you were both absolutely great and we consider you both special friends. We definitely plan to find a way to visit with you both in the VI again soon. Lot's of unbelievable experience, exceptional camaraderie, fantastic food, and lot's of laughs (yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah, no......................).
Sorry that we haven't had an opportunity to forward the photo's we promised. Our home system crashed, but Deb and Cody will try to send the shots to you manana.
Enjoy your time off and please stay in touch.
Warmest personal regards,
Curt
P.S. We had a great time in St. John and the Skinny Leg burger was epic! Remind us to share our travel saga for the return journey........23 hours of hell! Unbelievable! | | | | | January 2010 | The best vacation we have ever had! See our BLOG at http://luedke.me/wordpress/! There is too much to say in this small space.
Thanks Rick and Missy! |  |  |  | | March 2010 | We had a really GREAT time, I am speaking on behalf of the 2 families.
The catamaran is very comfortable, up to our expectations.
As for the crew, Missy and Rick seem to be made for this, always caring and eager to arrange dives and other activities.
Our son Victor is not easy to manage and they perfectly handle the job, with kindness and professionalism.
They are discreet and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area and inhabitants that they genuinely love.
Knowing several people doing that job - or similar - in the French west indies, I can reasonably state that they are far above.
Food was good, surprisingly enough from a US cook (I am kidding).
We are definitely poised to come over next year spending a week with them. | | | |
