We will all be dreaming of your ahi nachos! What an amazing week we had! We knew it was going to be a great week when we got the best mooring ball at Kelly’s Cove. We were all blown away by our day adventure on Virgin Gorda. We saw 23 shades of blue water and each beach just kept getting better. No guest should miss a night of sand dancing and lobster dinners at the Wonky Dog.
Thank you for giving us a week that was more than we could have asked for!
Love,
The Garlands

Dear Travis and Tara
What an incredible memory this week was! I’d turn 50 again and again IF it meant we could repeat this amazing week! It’s been so sweet to be here again with you both. Your thoughtful itinerary, meals, music, land tour! and friendship was as fun and special as it was last year. WE WILL be back and are looking forward to it already! Love you both! Thank you for all you did for all of us making the beginning of year so PERFECT!

Dear Travis and Tara,
I really don’t have words – this was the trip of a lifetime. I knew it was going to be special but I actually had no idea. Thank you for all you did to make this the best week of our lives! From the meals (chef’s kiss – every one of them) to the incredible “sails” through the most beautiful waters, to the excursions, cozy nights in bed, and so much more…we loved every minute.
Thank you. We will be back! XO Amy and Jim

Travis and Tara!
What a flippin AWESOME week this was! Truly – it was the trip of a lifetime. From every special spot you curated our seeing, to each and every morsel you served – we will never forget a single sight or bite! You two are simply the best – I can’t imagine anyone else in the world our family would have enjoyed spending a week celebrating a family milestone with more. Thank you for making Julie’s 50th so VERY special – for her, and for all of us.
We love you guys smuch!

Our family vacation to the BVI was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. While out at sea, the sail, the scenery, and yacht made the trip refreshing and chill. The land tours and snorkeling was amazing. The Baths and Copper mine tour were extremely unique and each snorkel spot held different underwater creatures and colorful coral. Our charter, Rum Away, had the perfect layout to accommodate our family of five. The Crew was amazing! We now count Captain Travis and Tara as part of our family and can not wait to explore with them again. Chef Tara's food was amazing and Captian Travis was super engaged with a family members interest in sailing. The Crew knew exactly the best harbors to stay and places to visit. Though our vacation only lasted a week, the memories made will last a lifetime!
The yacht was extremely roomy for 5 adults. We used three bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The bedrooms had ample storage and wonderful bed linens that were decorated beautifully and extremely maintained. Seating on the front of the yacht was very comfortable for stretching out and relaxing while sailing as well as a great hangout when docked.
I am thankful our days were active as we were fed extremely well. Chef Tara's stuffed French Toast topped with berries was such a treat to start the day. Lunches ranged from salads with homemade dressings to smash burgers, and dinners consisted of Tara's chicken scampi and ribeyes with au gratin potatoes which we continue to talk about. But, to top it all off were DESSERTS! Her Key Lime pie is heavenly, while her rum cake was very moist and dreamy, the rum bread pudding was yummy and we could have licked the dish that held creme brûlée!
Rum Away had individual snorkel gear, individual paddle boards, a multi-person paddle board, a floating dock, and floating FatBoy bean bag chairs/loungers (which were our favorites on and off the boat).
We now count Captain Travis and Chef Tara as family! We were welcomed at the airport by Travis and had a quick walk to the dock and boat where we were greeted by Tara and refreshing scented towels. Our group consisted of two young pilots right out of college and one was extremely drawn to Captain Travis and soaked up as much knowledge as he could.
I want to go back!

How do we begin to THANK YOU for such an amazing week? Each island, each bay, each dock was stunning.
Every meal was fabulous and we will miss Tara’s cooking and Travis’ grilling.
We leave with such great memories and can’t wait to make more next year!
Love The Morgan’s

Travis and Tara,
What else can we say but Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This week was absolutely fantastic. This truly was a trip of a lifetime as you promised. The hospitality and food was amazing. Both of you felt like you were part of the family. We also have to thank you for taking care of the “Mash Unit”. We promise to keep Julie in a rubber ball NEXT TIME (LOL). We are definitely Team Tarpon and Anne Loves BATS. Zack will return to be a deckhand whenever needed. We could go on and on.
THANKS AGAIN.
Oh, one last thing next time you see or hear – LSD, think of the group from LOWER SLOWER DELEWARE.

Wonderful trip!!! Despite the threat of 2 tropical storms (neither of which touched us) you were very flexible and allowed us to go to all of the amazing spots we wanted to visit. Your suggestions on places to go was spot on. Really liked the land tour of Virgin Gordan (particularly the Copper Mine and Savannah Beach). All the meals were amazing! I think I put on 5 lbs. We loved the foredeck with the dock and the 4 Bote chairs. We hope you have a wonderful and successful charter season. Be safe. Stay in touch.
