GUESTS COMMENTS
A great time on Antillean
Charter Guests: Jeff Langdon 

"Dear {Broker},
We just got back after having a great time on Antillean.  John, Heidi and Mr. Smee were terrific hosts/tour guides.  Thank you so much for the bottle of Champagne.  That was very thoughtful and a nice surprise.  We put it to good use, I might add."

Above our expectations ...
 " This was our first chartering experience, and we found the yacht and crew to be above our expectations. The Antillean was very clean and very well maintained. Our accommodations were very comfortable and all advertised toys were on board. John & Heidi, our crew, were very attentive and accommodating. Heidi is a wonderful cook, everything she served was wonderful! We enjoyed John's company and stories too. We can't say enough about the crew or the yacht. We will definitely go again with John and Heidi!" Paul Gregory
We were pleased!

  1. We absolutely enjoyed our sailing vacation.
  2. The yacht was clean and neat, and it was kept that way throughout the charter.
  3. We found the accommodations comfortable. The boat was not too small for the eight of us. The cabin layout was great; the cabins most comfortable. Dining and cockpit – plenty large.
  4. We found everything on board that should have been and more than expected: foul weather gear, scrabble dictionary, odd food requests.
  5. We enjoyed both the captain and crew. They were great with all ages- sensitive to everyone- never judgmental, always able to be kind to everyone. Happy to be with us, happy to be apart. John willing to transport even our nocturnal party animals in search of steel bands, etc.
  6. The service was good. Both were so incredibly competent! What was so amazing was that they managed to so it all without making us feel lazy. They knew the area well, and were able to give us options, directions, guidance, etc…
  7. We were pleased with the meals and beverages we were served and were pleased with the way they were presented. Service was constant, pleasant, and never intrusive. We were amazed that Heidi could do so much so inconspicuously. Meal after meal, never a mess in the galley.
  8. We would charter this yacht again with the same crew. Our kids thought the next vacation might be done with friends of Heidi and John skippering a boat to go with a second family. Margaret was our guest and she would like to get her whole family to come next time.
  9. The most positive aspects of our trip were the food and the ability to do whatever we wanted. How happy and relaxed our kids were on board!
  10. The only negative side of our trip was the absence of wind. (The fact that the mainsail had been damaged on the previous trip was irrelevant)

We would recommend the Grenadines as a cruising area, especially for a week or more.

John and Heidi did an outstanding job making our vacation memorable. I would highly recommend them for any future charters. Mr. Smee (the parrot) is a big hit with children.

The Green Charter
"Hi 'broker', We have returned from the most fabulous holiday experience. Life
on board Antillean was perfect. Heidi is an amazing cook, every meal was a
delight to the taste buds. John was a fantastic Captain and host, with many
wonderful local stories. They took us to beautiful bays and shared their
knowledge on local shopping out of the way places to visit. They made sure
we had The Baths on Virgin Gorda to ourselves, which is the only way to see
them. Mr Smee (the parrot) was a super pet. The children loved him, and so
did Spencer and I. Thanks again for recommending Antillean, we would
undoubtly return for another wonderful experience with John and Heidi.
Thanks and best regards, S & S Green"
