NAMASTE Guest Comments
Charter on Dec 23 - jan 2, 2023 in the Grenadines - 5 American guests

Our trip was beyond what they could have imagined
The yacht was the ideal size and that he was incredibly impressed with Cpt. Will and how he was so communicative and that Courtney was so great with their girls and the cocktails and that the food was delicious!
if NAMASTE go to the Med in summer 2024, we would be very interested in chartering her again.

 

Charter on February 3-11, 2023 in the Grenadines / American family of 6

Willo, Courtney, Emma, Sam,
What an incredible experience. The sailing was top notch: The entire team went out of their way to ensure we had the most incredible experience.
This was one of the most incredible experience.
This was one of the most amazing crews we have ever had - paying attention to every last detail. With our varied desires, everyone made sure that each of our groups were given special attention to ensure the most amazing experience. Great snorekling, incredible off-boat excursions and fabulous food.
Thank you for providing a once-in-a-life experience on a truly amazing boat.
Your next charter is truly lucky to have such an amazing crew (sorry for the over use of amazing). Thank you again !

 

Charter February 20-27, 2023 in the Grenadines / American couple

To Willo, Courtney, Emma & Sam,
Thank you so much for helping make this experience amazing. We have had the most amazing days made all the better by such a wonderful and attentive crew.
Your attention to detail has been fantastic and our every need catered too. The food has been exceptional, we’v loved Sam’s culinary around the word dishes. The beautiful table seetings each evening were stunning and the service always top class.
Brian really appreciated you taking him diving after such a long hiatus.
Emma was the perfect buddy with great photography skiils ! Willo’s sailing skills are clearly wonderful and he’s a great Captain.
There’s a clear camaraderie amongst the crew adn they realyy made this special for us !
Courtney even got my coffee spot on !
Thanks again, We’ll back ! J & B

 

Charter on Dec 29 - jan 5, 2024 in Antigua area - A group of 6 from Monaco

The size of the boat was perfect for us. The girls really enjoyed each having their own rooms with queen beds and bathrooms/shower. Storm and I enjoyed the larger space bedroom. Also great was that all bedrooms were airconditioned.
- The crew was amazing. They really are all extremely good at their job, they were friendly but not overbearing, they were open to be personal but professionally distant. They all very flexible and open to adapting to our and the kid’s ever-changing needs without ever showing any signs of impatience. All four of them are really hard workers and go above and beyond.
- Chef Lola had a great idea and made the whole trip a 100% gluten-free journey, which was really amazing. With Zoe being celiac and the kids liking their snacks, it is not so easy for us to keep the eating-routine very stable. Lola and Courtney had no issue with that at all and kept just working around us and predicting our needs. They even got a new toaster just for this sail, so that there would be no contamination. This is really going above and beyond…
- Seabobs are a MUST. What amazing little inventions! Of all the many many toys of the Namaste, the bobs are clearly the winners. Those we need on any future charters 😉 All the other toys were also used and enjoyed a lot, just not loved as much as the Bobs. But the Namaste’s many toys are definitely a big positive feature.
- The most enjoyable part of the itinerary was Barbuda. For the next trip, we would welcome your recommendations and seek to include even more white-sand beach, remote type destinations. This time it was us driving the train and we were surprised how much more we liked Barbuda than Antigua, which is the island we initially were fixated on.
- Only change we could envision on the next one is to scale down on food a bit. Two meals a day with snacks in between would probably suffice. Beverages were all excellently handled’.


Charter on April 9 - 16, 2024 in St Martin area - 2 guests from Barbados

Our second charter on Namaste and its still as wonderful as it was on our 1st despite the weather!
You all took such care of us and made sailing in the run fun.
Captain Willo made as last time our cruise special.
Courtney looked after every need, making excellent coffees, and force feeding us champagne!
Thanks Pippa for the amazing food, I was need to diet but great to meet a fellow Northerer in the Caribbean.
Glen was so friendly and helpful even searching for Brian's non existent missing Apple watch!
We will miss you all. All the best for the future!
J & B
