Please be patient, while our guest pages load... ... ... lots of good stuff here to see and read! :) You too can be here having a great time with us in the Caribbean on your next sailing vacation in the Virgin Islands!
We left Quebec City in a snow storm one week ago! Sun, sand and sailing for a week in paradise.
Thank you Victoria and Curt for making my 1st sail trip a success and my husband will be more than happy to come back sailing now that I know the wonderful world of sailing!
We look forward to gazing at the Caribbean stars but for now, we will be closer to the north star.
Have a great holiday. Thank you for the great vacation.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! What a wonderful trip! You made our honeymoon more special then I could have ever imagined. Thanks for helping Mike with all the planning and secret keeping. I know is not something I would have ever thought to pick on my own, but I am so glad Mike did. Thank you for providing us with the perfect environment to truly relax.
The food was to die for! I know we'll be doing our best to duplicate a few of your recipes. Thank you for teaching us that Mike actually likes everything, not anything!
We wish you all the best. Safe travels.
Thank you! Mr. Mike & Mrs. Emily Quinones

If I had to title the trip, it would be... "FUN ~ FUN ~ FUN!"
As a "Wannabe" Sailor I've been plotting a sailing trip for years and this was the perfect execution of it. Modern life is way too fast and spending time at 2 or 3 knots puts things back in perspective.
I really loved spending a week in a swimsuit, or less, long sessions of swimming and snorkeling only interrupted by a wonderful meal, or a nap. What a rough life!
The sea is a cauldron of life and the simple act of swimming through it and witnessing its beauty has been an experience I will never forget.
I want to come back already! You guys were really great with improvising a "Plan B" and I'm so happy Judy had a good time. Watching her enjoy herself was fun too.
I am not ready to move back to dry land, but its great knowing how easily we can do this again. We share a love for things of simple beauty and don't know any better way to do it then from a sailboat. Judy and I are going to have so many nice things to relate to our friends and family, but credit is due to you and the lovely Billy Jean for making this happen.
We don't want to go home! We really needed this trip and you did a great job giving us a "trip of a lifetime", but we are not done! It doesn't have to be a singular experience and we are sold on this. This time we spent on Billy Jean recharged us, rejuvenated us, and we're ready to resume our "landlubber" life knowing that we're only a few hours away from paradise.

Honeymoon Sailing...... September 10 to 20, 2007
When Nate booked this trip (our honeymoon), I was nervous ~ Who the heck books a charter in the Caribbean in the middle of hurricane season?!? I am afraid of deep water and sharks!
Luckily........
◊ Ingrid went from tropical storm to tropical depression, overnight.
◊ I stared out snorkeling with the vest and graduated to Curt saying I was a strong swimmer.
◊ No Sharks!
◊ I ate asparagus, beets, tomatoes and broccoli.
This is Why I'm Hot!
Trip Highlights......
◊Barry the barracuda and Nate teasing him with his toe.
◊◊Scooter fun on Virgin Gorda.
◊◊Having the Baths to our selves.
◊So much good food ~ We have been to spoiled.
◊Wicked Laser shows.
◊Showering in the rain.

Thank you so much for an awesome vacation in paradise! We have memories that will last our lifetime. We appreciated you welcoming us into your own home to weather the storm and your attentiveness to our individual needs. Noreen's concerns and fears melted away quickly. Sailing became a breeze, except for that one day. :-) There were no encounter of Pirates; the flag most have worked. You are both so gracious and Victoria is so vivacious that we can't help but have fun! You both are so good to Andrew & Bradford. Thank you again for making our dream vacation come true.

We have been dreaming of this trip and planning it for almost 5 years now. Finally it happened!! Our dreams were fulfilled ~ great weather, beautiful islands and (most important) wonderful crew! Our host taught us the most important lessons ~ Take your shoes off before you board the boat; rinse after swimming; and pump the toilet with all your heart! Seriously we had the greatest time of our lives ~ both in USA and Mother Russia!!
Thank you! Alex, Olga, George and Inna

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality aboard the "Billy Jean." Even if parties weren't in the agenda. We enjoyed every minute of the snorkeling, sailing, swimming, hiking, and eating that we did over the week. The food was fabulous. We were trying to make it easy to clean up by eating every crumb. Actually it was just that great! The weather couldn't have been nicer with beautiful sunsets as the perfect ending to each day. You have provided us with relaxation that was well-needed before this vacation. Games of spades with steel drum music in the background was the ideal setting foe a refereshing week. We loved sailing the islands, especially with your expertise on the best moorings in the Caribbean. We will miss the gorgeous turquoise water and plentiful sunlight, but thanks to you, we will always remember the fantastic vacation!

Thank you for a fantastic week aboard Billy Jean! It was a fabulous adventure and one we will always remember. We loved exploring the USVI and BVI. Seeing the rays and starfish at Watermelon Cay was awesome. The food was fabulous and thanks for putting up with our food allergies. We especially enjoyed our conversations after dinner and your revelations on "high fructose corn syrup." We hope to return soon and send a friend!
Beautiful sunsets and glorious mornings never go out of style. Thanks for all you do. Brian and Jacquie, Hattiesburg, MS
January 7 to 14, 2007
We came here looking for a "get away from it all" kind of vacation. We found just what we were looking for :-) It is "you" who made it what is was. Some highlights of our week above the sea and below include:
]Being able to see Florida whoop up on Ohio State and win the National Championship ~ Go Gators!!! (and for Curt sitting thru the game till 1:00am)
]Watching Michael Beans perform, Morgan winning the "Blowhard / Conch blowing Contest" (40 seconds) and having Michael come back to our boat for dinner.
]A wicked night at Willy T's ~ with tattoos' to prove it!
]Snorkeling, snorkeling, snorkeling ~ octopus, sting rays, sharks, the granddaddy of all lobsters, big turtles, little turtles, and mask attacking sergeant majors!
]Hiking up to Ram's Head and the Blue, Green and Purple Pebble Beach.
]A fantastic day at the Baths and soooo much more!
Thank you for everything, you made it a vacation we will always treasure! (Arrrr Treasure!)
Love Sarah and Morgan, Virgin Beach, Virgina
