We are so appreciative of the care you planned and executed our holiday adventure with. The table settings were extraordinary, the moorings, just right, the route selected to ensure fair winds and following seas, the meals planned and executed to many dietary restrictions, with. Most importantly, you both bring a quiet confidence and smile, making even the most timid sailor comfortable. Thank you for that most. Our family trip was a huge success because of you. Your unique skills, talents and personalities made this year's present one we will cherish for years to come.

From the moment we met we knew we were in capable hands. We are so impressed with your confidence, competence and professionalism. We loved every stop - like waking up on Christmas Day! Stella, you were always at the ready to answer our questions and tote us where we wanted. And Iona, we’ve never been so delighted by mealtime. Your skills in the kitchen were out of this world! Our bellies will be grateful forever!

To you both - a dynamic duo - capable, confident and so very IMPRESSIVE.

Our next trip will only require two things - STELLA & IONA

​PS we’ve been to many amazing places across the globe… this was by FAR our BEST family vacation - because of you both!

Thank you so much for the most memorable "holiday" ever!! You guys are amazing and so professional. Stella you are a very competent captain and we felt very safe and Iona worked her magic in the kitchen. Every meal was five star!! We are going to miss you and the Belle Vie. We will be talking about this experience for years to come. And will recommend you and the Belle Vie to all of our friends! If you ever find yourself in the northeast we would love to entertain you in our neck of the woods. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!

Thank you for such a wonderful week! I had high expectations for this trip and the two of you exceeded all of them! Everything from the details you gave attention to - like the cozy beach decor and the amazing food and presentation. It was all so lovely. And of course the destinations, the variety, the snorkeling. Everything was so perfect!

Thank you, thank you!

Freaking awesome best hostesses ever!!! Awesome food, awesome captain! Bad handwriting on my part. Thanks for an awesome week.
