YACHT INTRODUCTION

The finest cruising experience yet imagined, NENNE (a Swedish name which means strong and brave like a lion), elevates the enjoyment of a floating holiday to new heights. A Victoria 67, newly built and launched in 2017, she's the newest addition to Fountaine Pajot's Flagship fleet, their top-of-the-line luxury cruising cats. She's sleek, elegant, and extremely spacious with an overall length of 67 feet and beam of 31 feet; truly, the ultimate in cruising comfort. 
The popular flybridge concept has been expanded on this yacht to a state nothing short of magnificence. It is accessed from the cockpit with stairs on both sides that are highly secure. The 2-person carbon fibre helm, offset to starboard, provides the captain excellent visibility and easy access to winches, sheets, sails and traveler to ease the work of sailing. For guests aboard who have come to relax, the seating area is incredibly comfortable with benches, side tables, a relaxing sofa, and the convenience of a refrigerator and sink. The rise & fall tables can also be used for dining, making this a highly usable area not usually found on an FP 67. A large bimini provides an area of escape from the sun for those who want some shade and there is integrated lighting for evening cocktails. Additional side and rear covers can be used to block the wind for dining if desired, and of course, the large double lounge cushion for sun bathing make this a highly desirable space for the ultimate in relaxation, all enjoyed with awesome views of the surrounding scenery.
The large aft deck is shaded by the flybridge overhead and provides additional comfortable lounging spaces, as well as an elegant setting for formal dining. Two large sumptuous pads are optimal for relaxing. A projector and large cinema screen can be viewed inside from the cockpit or saloon.
Step into the saloon which features urban chic decor with gorgeous leather upholstery, and lots of space for comfortable entertaining in air-conditioned comfort if so desired. The large relaxing seating area has an electric rise and fall coffee / dining table providing an additional option. The open galley is equipped with state of the art appliances, fine china, and extensive glassware. There is an extra chart plotter and helm station at the chart table from where the boat can be steered.
Accommodation for 10 guests in 5 cabins which are all en-suite: 1 King, 3 Queens, and 1 Twin which can be configured to King upon request. Each cabin has independent A/C, Sony and Apple flatscreen LED TV with access to onboard server film library with over 500 films, Bose hifi music system, high quality bed linens and towel sets including nice thick NENNE-branded beach towels. The very large master cabin has a desk/dressing table and a comfortable couch.
The only way to improve on such a fabulous yacht is with an outstanding crew and NENNE delivers there too. Captain & Chef Donald and Audrey Harper have established themselves as one of the top crews in the Caribbean charter market, evidenced by 17 charter yacht show awards in categories including Best of Show, Culinary, Table-setting, and ECO-friendly. The most important accolade this crew receives on a regular basis is numerous rave reviews from their guests. 
NENNE is equipped with a large array of water toys including, snorkel gear, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, wakeboard, adult and children's waterskis, a range of towable inflatables, plus a Yamaha 70hp tender for towing. For guests interested in scuba diving, you won't find a better choice than NENNE as she offers a premium dive experience with a complete assortment of top-of-the-line equipment, an onboard dive compressor. (See specs for details.) Captain Donald is a licensed PADI Dive Instructor and loves to share his passion for diving and favorite local dive spots with guests.

YACHT TESTIMONIALS

7-14 July 2019 Exumas, Bahamas - Another Fabulous Charter!! 

Audrey, Donald & Thomas,

Nenne in the Exumas July 2019 was my family’s sixth charter with you, and once again, you found a way to bring laughter, beauty, amazement & magic to our family holiday.  Jumping in the Grotto, feeding the pigs, the color of the water, your naughty jokes, Audrey’s delicious cuisine (little hamburgers with onions – YUM!), simply added a unique twist to an already wonderful week.  We love you dearly, and look forward to our next unforgettable experience with you in the BVI 2020.

Thank you for another fabulous charter!!  I love all my family memories that are made with the Harpers!!  I am so excited for our upcoming charter!  Until April..

Thanks for an amazing week!  Can’t wait to see you guys again!

If you ever need some extra help on the boat, you know where to find me…

Love the S Family

14-22 June, 2019 – Amazing Family Trip to the Bahamas

Dear Audrey, Donald & Thomas,

Thank you so much for a tremendous week on the Nenne. We saw so many beautiful and unique places and really appreciate your efforts to keep us full engaged and entertained….and so well fed – each meal was better than the last.

Thomas: thank you for constantly mixing cocktails and making delicious frozen drinks, and constantly hauling us in from the kayaks.

This week showed us the importance of a fantastic crew, and you all made our week so much more fantastic than we could have hoped. We hope to see you again in the BVI. Also please let us know if you are ever in Delray Beach.

Thank you so much for everything! This is probably the best trip I’ve ever been on. The food was also probably the best food I’ve ever had before. The crew was also very nice and fun to be around. I hope that I will be able to go on another trip like this again. Also, I had a lot of fun getting to know Thomas. He’s really nice and funny and is great at helping me win Uno. I hope I will see you all again soon.

Thank you!

Thank you guys for the most amazing trip I’ve ever been on. The amount of things we did in a week was unbelievable. The food and service was amazing. I especially loved Donald’s many long stories, that entertained us on the 4 hour long boat ride to Shroud Cay. I also love the incredible variety of water toys that we could use to get to the islands. But the stay in the boat was such a new and fun experience.

They were also 100% flexible to when it came up to us to decide what we were doing. I hope that I get to come again and have such an amazing crew.

Thank you Donald, Thomas and Audrey for the trip of a lifetime.

26 May - 2 June ~ Memorable Bahamas Family Vacation

Dear Donald, Audrey & Thomas. 

Our trip with you on Nenne in the Exumas was perfect for our family.  We enjoyed all the sites we saw but the highlight of the trip was your hospitality.  Your interaction with us made the trip memorable.  I really appreciate the care and attention you gave Susan.  She was much more active that unusual and she enjoyed the trip.  The food was unbelievable, and the service was “world class”. I also greatly enjoyed our discussions about sailing.  We enjoyed the water features, the pigs, the piano and mermaid, and especially the Mangrove River to the Pristine Beach. 

We are already planning the next trip with you in the BVI.  We hope you enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed yours.  I would have no problem recommending your services to anyone I know.  We hop you continue to enjoy your life. If you come to Utah for a visit we would love to see you.

All the best to you!

P.S.  We also really enjoyed Thomas.  I’m sure you will teach him all the skills he need to become a great captain. 

Memories for a lifetime – Thank you!

As Michael and I have traveled a lot and have had many great opportunities in life, we are a bit spoiled!  Needless to say, this trip ranks right up there on the top!  It was “epic”.  Your personalities and food and great humor and real friendship was very much appreciated.  Our entire family has enjoyed the week and we lope you welcome us again as we plan our next trip.

It takes special people to deliver the entertainment, the fantastic food, service, jokes, games and for me it was special to participate with your genius personalities.  Its not often you come across people like all of you are – amazing – smart and happy in life.  Therefore, you could share your happiness with us.  The I will treasure forever.  You will be hard to forget, so we hope to see you all soon.

It’s been a pleasure and lifetime experience to have met all of you.

Never change.  I think you all are blessed with a rare gift with people.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week.  We’ve had such a great time with each of you, so much fun and beautiful sites and experiences.  Our kids summed it up perfectly, “best vacation ever”!  We will always remember the piggies, the Grotto, the Mangrove swamps, the iguanas, the amazing beaches and the warm clear blue water.  It was terrific but what made it so great for us was you guys.  You guided our adventures, feed us so well, joked with us, played games with us, swapped stories with us and made us all feel so comfortable and at ease so we could have such an enjoyable trip.  Like Audrey said, “It feels like we’ve known you forever”.  We’ll be back.  We want another crack at Donald, the Liar’s Dice and Quarkle champ.  Thanks for your hospitality and making it such a special trip, one that we will treasure always.  Best wishes.

Sailing and spending time with you all on the boat has been quite a pleasure. Many of our party have discussed how attentive you have been as hosts.  Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the area and the sea.  Audrey, each day was accented with great food.  How impressed we all are with the presentation and flavor of your dishes.  Highlights of our time spent with you include the Grotto, Piggies, and the iguanas.  Thank you Thomas for always being a stop ahead of us.  Whether getting us a soda, re-filling water glass or hanging our wet items to dry. We wish you the best in your pursuit of a career at sea.  Donald, special thanks for being such an entertainer.  You are a gamesman, boat captain, sportsman, comedian and of course, a magician.  We loved your stories and especially when  Audrey join in to add her perspective.

Again, thank you so much!

I cannot thank you enough for the most amazing trip.  Sailing through the Bahamas was one of the most incredible vacations I have experienced.  I was lucky enough to come thank you to my parents and family.  With that said, I will be saying daily hoping to return to see you all in the BVI.  I loved each and every adventure from the Grotto, where you helped me face my fear of heights and grow.  Each day progressed into something even more special, the piggies, the iguana, the beautiful beaches and even water sports.

What made this trip special was each of YOU! 

Donald; thank you for the laughs, the guided tours, the adventures, the snorkeling, diving, swimming trips.  I felt more confident because of you. You are an amazing teacher and I will never forget our talk.  A man of many talents who took the time to care to get to know each of us individually and provide activities to best suit us.  I will miss you joke, crazy adventures and wit!

Audrey; thank you for the most incredible food and for being such an amazing host. You too were the perfect teacher and compliment to Donald.  I love hearing all your stories about home, teaching and being a principle.  Such great wisdom and kindness.  You taught me so much about life. 

Thomas; thank you for the constant attention to detail.  Audrey & Donald have taught you well. You are such a great kid.  Funny, kind, polite and helped me so much in the water.  Thank you for teaching me how to dive down.  I was always afraid of the ocean.

In a nut shell, yes the trip was amazing!  But what made it special was the three of you.  People vacation for different reasons but for me to feel at home, to feel welcomed and to be able to totally relax in tight quarters with family speaks to your great wisdom and your experience interacting with people.  I wish you all the very vest and hope to see you all again soon.  This time dive certified!  A trip never to forget.

Thank you again!

P.S.  It was the perfect way to celebrate Memorial Day and think of my son.  He loved the water and I cannot help but think because of the three of you, how proud he would be of me facing my fear of the ocean.  I will now be a water dog for life in honor of my son, Wyatt.

24 Feb - 2nd March, 2019 – An Experience of a Lifetime!

Dearest Donald, Audrey & Dennis,

Thank you for the most incredible setting for the most incredible week.  You really took our vacation to the next level with 5 Star cuisine, 5 Star service and 6 Star anecdotes & jokes.  Thanks for making life on the water look effortless, while we know you’re all paddling like ducks underneath.  You welcomed us and our best friends into your live and became people we want to have in our lives more.  So, we’ve promised our kids to come back – can’t wait for you guys to meet Vince Jr. (x3!). 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for an experience of a lifetime.  We can’t imagine spending it with any other crew.  From Donald’s hilarious tales and jokes and Audrey’s delicious meals and Dennis’s helpful hands – our hears and tummies and glasses were always full.  You made us feel like family!  We are so happy and grateful that we got to share this wonderful adventure with you.  We hope to return one day and be repeat guests.

We want to thank you for the amazing hospitality!  You crushed it!  From the fabulous gourmet food, to the hilarious commentary.  It was truly a pleasure.  Donald, you have found your calling.  You all made it appear effortless.  A special shout out to Dennis for his excellent personalized service. 

Thank you seems like too small a word to express how grateful we are to have spent this week aboard the Nenne.  You kept us smiling and laughing with full bellies and full glasses of pinot grigio!  Good luck Dennis on you next boating adventure!  Sad to be leaving but heading out with a huge smile on my face and a very happy heart!

I am full of gratitude from the week on Nenne with you!  Memories for a lifetime.  Chop Chop…Time to go home.  Yes, Yes, Yes we will be back!

All the best in your future adventures!

Wow, what a great week!  Thank you for all of the great memories, consistent humor, great food and knowledge of the area.  We can’t wait to come back!!

Thank you for an amazing week of wit, humor and keeping us laughing.  We appreciate all your amazing food.  It was a true adventure!

10-17 February, 2019 – BVIs – A Fabulous Week in Paradise!

Donald, Audrey & Dennis,

Thank you all for an amazing week in the BVIs!  Y’all are the best crew all around and I cannot imagine every coming back to the BVIs without you.  From the jokes, cooking, conversation and service you make the trip everything I dreamed it would be.  Thanks again and I look forward to our next trip!

Y’all out did yourselves!  From the stories, adventures, meals & friendship our 2^nd trip was amazing.  Thank you for taking the time to get to know us and making the Nenne our home for the week. 

Thank you for such a wonderful charter trip, especially for my first trip to the BVI!  You two are such a good team, entertaining us, cooking the most delicious meals (I will email you for recipes!), and keeping us safe as we traveled the beautiful waters.  Not sure anything can top this charter (or any other captains!!).  You made us feel so welcome and supplied us with endless hilarious stories.  We can’t wait to plan another trip with you all.  And Dennis has been trained so well, we enjoyed his level of service and always smiling face!

We can’t thank you enough for another fabulous week in paradise!  It is hard to put into words how amazing the Nenne crew is.  After the hurricanes we were nervous the BVIs would never be what they used to be, but it is obvious they are more than on their way!  Good luck with your new adventures in the Bahamas, we already cannot wait to plan our next trip…and who knows…maybe will our “littles”.  Thank you again for everything!  If you ever feel like coming to Charlotte or Canada, you have a place to stay.  Dennis, best of luck in the future, we can’t thank you enough for everything this week!  We adored your super friendly always smiling willing to do anything personality and can only hope our children frow up to be as hard working and fun!

Another epic week!  Feeling very blessed to be part of this crew of travelers and part of the Nenne family.  Too many amazing things to list, but a special shout out to Audrey for keeping us incredibly well fed.  Good luck to Dennis on your super yacht adventures!  Open invitation to Canada always!

With love, The "H" Family

27 Dec - 3 Jan 2019, New Year Charter – An incredible Week!

Note from broker: The family were very happy, had a great time.

Donald, Audrey & Dennis,

What a sad day it is!  This has been the most special week celebrating the end of one year and the start of a new one, snorkeling and diving, sailing to beautiful Anegada plus the delicious food and drinks.  We have enjoyed every second!  Thank you for making the boat the perfect place for our 8 month old baby, who I know will be a captain and master diver after this trip.  I think he has better sea legs than all of us.

Good luck to Dennis, a real fish!  Keep us posted on your endeavors, we can’t wait o hear of your next adventures!

We love you guys!

Thank you for making family gathering so special! From the start you made each experience flow with ease even when the odds were against us.  The knowledge you each bring to the table is priceless and the grace you express through your hospitality is 5 star! Happy New Year!  May you years ahead be filled with abundance.

We can’t thank you enough for making this past week so incredible.  Anna and I had a blast sailing, snorkeling and diving with you.  Audrey: Your meals were incredible, and I believe you taught us some new tricks that we’ll use going forward (e.g. bacon roses).  Also, thank you SO much for organizing our open water certification, our dive on the Rhone is something we’ll never forget.  Donald:  Thank you for the many hours of great conversations, jokes and card tricks.  If you find the time, best of luck with the hang gliding in the nearby area! Dennis:  Thank you for all of your help in organizing all of our water activities and mixing our cocktails.  We wish you all the best with you future sailing endeavors, and fingers crossed, everything works out with the Black Pearl! You all are a truly wonderful crew!

Thank you so much for such a phenomenal time!  We hop you’ll continue to live life to the fullest and have the best time!  Also, Dennis: Thank you for all the delicious drinks!

14-22 June,2018 – An Unbelievable Family Experience!!

Dear Audrey, Donald & Dennis,

Where to begin?  A fabulous boat, fantastic crew, outstanding meals & constant cocktails!  But those are the obvious, what was so fantastic was the warmth & humor, knowledge and friendship that we so quickly shared.  It was an unbelievable family experience celebrating Chris’s 70^th, and we will never forget this past week.  You have all made it very special for us.

All the girls and Jack had such special moments – boom jumping,tubing, learning magic tricks – and we adults enjoyed the sailing, stories and special cocktails.

In a nutshell, we had a wonderful week and can’t thank you enough.  Hopefully we’ll be able to join you all again, as it was truly a pleasure!

Well, she said it all! I thank you so much for a fantastic trip.  I couldn’t have said it better than Nana.  Thank you for the amazing meals,fun activities (like tubing and of course boom jumping) and just an all around awesome time!

Thank you guys so much! First off, I am so grateful that you were so kind and always shining smiles in my morning.  Second, the amount of food, drinks and many other things you guys made/brought for us is definitely more than we deserved so thank you for that. 

Audrey, I am an extremely picky eater, and let me tell you that you made some of the best food I have ever eaten!  Thank you for you nonstop work and glowing personality.  I am forever grateful!

Donald, you handle everything with such grace and we will always remember the “Amazing Captain Donald” who was the most fun guy ever!  Thank you so, so much!!

Dennis, I am so grateful for you.  Not just the fact that you were always getting me things, you were so, so kind and I know the kids looked up to you.  I cannot begin to say how grateful am for you and your professionalism. You made this trip so fun and it was incredible to see the way each family member was entertained constantly. Truly an unforgettable experience! Thank you!

Thank you for a truly amazing week.  We loved every minute of it and can’t wait to come back again.  And a special “thank you” for accommodating the food requests. The kids enjoyed all of it, which is impressive coming from the picky one.  Of course, we all enjoyed every meal and the constant stream of cocktails as well. We were lucky to have you all as our crew.  We couldn’t have ask for a more professional, funny, caring, knowledgeable and fun group!

You guys are all an amazing crew and it felt like y’all were simply an extension of our family. Thank you for welcoming our family into yours and into your home!!

Thank you for the BEST trip I’ve ever had!  Truly! Everyone was in a great mood for an entire week – you have no idea what an accomplishment that is!  I love the boat and I was so lucky to have my own room. Donald – It is nice to meet someone almost as fabulous as I am.  I’ve been all over the world and it is truly a feat!  Thank you for making my children so happy.  The three of us needed it.  It’s been a rough year for us.

Audrey – A more amazing feat is that Caroline loved every meal!  That has never, ever happened.  Please help me by sending your recipes.  You have the funniest stories, and the best sound track!

Dennis – You have done a great job.  Thank you for being such a good role model. I can’t thank you enough! And I truly can’t express how much I needed the trip and how grateful  I am for making my children so happy! The boat was awesome and beautiful, and amazing.  It stands out the most (in a good way).  And is white as a dove.  The crew was awesome.  I wish I could of helped, but you guys are better!  They are all so nice and helpful and I hope to see you guys again.  Thank you! P.S.  Your food Audrey was awesome; Donald, you were so funny and Dennis you were very sweet and kind.

Thank you for sharing and creating such an amazing experience.  As other writers note, this crew is fantastic, due to the seemingly ease of doing your wonderful work. Thank you for all the adventures, activities, meals and attention this week.  I will think of the BVIs and you all as I return back to the cold, rain and snow!

This was the best experience I have ever had.  I didn’t like the idea of living on a boat for a week, when I got here my mind just twisted around when I got on the boat.  Mostly because you guys were helpful, sweet,kind, funny and so many other things. The service was amazing, and the food and adventures were all so, so,so, so amazing.  This week has been a dream come true!  Thank you so much for making an experience of my life.  I appreciate everything you have done for me and my family this week. P.S.  Thank you so much for teaching me to scuba dive Donald!

Thank you for a phenomenal week aboard the Nenne,re-christened as the “Land & Proud Bateu Fernie La Bouche”.  Thank you for teaching our girls to dive Donald.  We couldn’t have asked for abetter introduction.  Audrey – Thank you for putting up with more chaos on a boat than is recommended.  Your food was worth every simple calorie thatwe don’t have to count.  Dennis -  Stay cool and as you say, it has been a HUGE pleasure.  You all have been fantastic,the island are stunning and look for us in the Unemployment Bay.

With Love, The "L" Family

5-13 March, 2018 ~ One of the most incredible experience sever!

Donald & Crew,

Out of all the boat trips we’ve been on, this was probably the most recent! (just kidding 😊) 10 of us left and 10 of us returned.  Truly amazing experience!  Donald, Audrey & Dennis were incredible –food drinks, activities, drinks and more drinks.  The boat Nenne was first class all the way ~I (we) have a few observations:

Donald:  Best Captain – Best story teller – Best Joke Teller! You always kept an eye on us, always aware and always accommodating.

Audrey:  An amazing chef and a sweetheart of a lady (she keeps Donald in check)

Dennis:  3^rdtrip for the young lad – The hardest worker we’ve ever seen, he’s going to be the best captain for the future.

Thank you for one of the most incredible experiences ever!

Final Word: 5 stars all the way!

Thank you all so much! Fabulous time!  So many “scuuuzze me” moments.

Love you all

SCUUUZZZE ME!! This sums up the entire trip!! You made the trip for all of us! Donald, Audrey & Dennis crew made the trip magical.  Thank you for putting up with our antics& special requests!  You are friends for life – We’ll see you again soon! 

Clear Sailing & Pink Skies!

We had a wonderful time aboard the Nenne.  We shared wonderful memories and laughs together.  Thank you for sharing your time with us and doing a great job of taking care of all of us!

Had an excellent time with everyone onboard.  Wonderful laughs & stories with Captain Don, Audrey & Dennis.  Great to beleive @ 50 and celebrate the milestone birthday with friends.

Food & Service nothing but First Class!

Thank you for a great time!  You are an excellent crew.  I know Dennis will miss me interrupting him.  XO

6-13 January 2018 in BVI - Diving Certification family charter

Richard, Audrey & Donald,

This past week spent with my brother and family, and with you three has been one of the best weeks I’ve ever had!  You all did everything possible to make sure every detail was taken care of.  The food was incredible!  (Audrey, maybe, just maybe I will be inspired to cook again!) Donald, you kept us laughing and took care of making sure we were entertained and safe – all at the same time. Richard, you noticed everything that needed doing and it’s done before anyone knows it needed doing! 😊  Thank you all for an incredible experience. Next time I know I still won’t dive but I will be an experienced snorkeler– oops – I mean “professional”!  Please let me know if you are in Atlanta or Colorado any time!  We would love for you to visit!  And I do hope to be back on your boat again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You’re the 3 most awesome professionals I’ve ever had the privilege to know!  You may not know this,but we have talked about doing this trip for 30 years!  Life & responsibilities got complicated and we’re just now realizing this dream. And now that it’s over, I can’t believe what we’ve been missing all these years!  You three are amazing,each setting the bar so high in your very different rolls.  Donald – you are most definitely “the most interesting man in the world” with your vast knowledge of virtually every topic covered this week, not to mention keeping us all laughing the whole week!  Audrey – good grief the food was amazing down to the very last detail.  I will bethinking about almost every dish you made for quite awhile, and wishing I could just eat at “Audrey’s” again someday. Richard -  what can I say?  You are the man filling needs before they are even recognized as a need.  And you have the most gracious spirit about you.  A joy to be around!!  You three will see this family again someday!  Thank you so much for the best week EVER!  Here’s wishing you 3 a lovely break followed by an amazing rest of 2018 with your individual lives and your charters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being in the “service business” all my professional life,I know what it means to “delight” one’s customers.  You 3 went beyond the “delight” the customer many times that these families have decided you are “professional delighters”. 

Seriously, you made all aspects of our trip so fun, easy,varied, relaxing and meanwhile….a trip that we4 will not forget.  I really appreciate you and we hope/plan to see you in the next 2 years.

P.S.  Thanks for getting my wife and I remarried…that was not in the brochure!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is hard to put into words how incredible these past 7days have been!  Donald, thank you for the continuous belly laughs, getting us all scuba certified and sailing us around the BVIs!  Audrey – no words.  Your artistry and creativity with food is so enjoyable, as well as your sweet & caring spirit.  Richard, you are the man!  Thank you for being an incredible host who always had a smile on your face!  The three of you are a dynamic and incredible team.  I honestly had as much fun getting to know ya’ll as much as the trip.  If you are ever near Portland, OR please visit.  Josh and I would love to host you.  We will be seeing you guys again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for making this trip unforgettable.  No matter where life takes us, you will always be a part of some of our best memories. I am personally anticipating some new, exciting and good things for 2018and your kindness, service and selflessness was the first of these things –thank you.

May the Lord bless you. May he cause his face to shine upon you. May he lift up his countenance on you, and give you his peace.  (Numbers 6:24-26)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can’t put into words what an unbelievable experience this last week was for all of us.  All of you went above and beyond on every aspect of the trip and we can’t thank you enough!  Aside from the incredible food, stories and adventures we will value the friendship that we have found and will run into you all in the future.  You are all so genuine and it was the human, relational part of the trip that made it unforgettable for me.  Audrey, continue to keep “Captain Don” in check!  Hope to see all of you soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thank every single one of you for the greatest, most relaxing, and energizing weeks of my life. This was an unbelievable trip filled with absolutely unforgettable memories & experiences.  It’s funny to think back how short, yet long this week lasted.  The “personal” aspect that each one of you brought to the trip is what made the trip so special to me.  Keep providing incredible experiences to everyone blessed enough to take this week. Richard, keep eating cereal bud. It’s the best food category by far! I hope to see all of you soon.

God Bless,

The M Family (Arkansas, USA)

December 27, 2017 – January 4, 2018 – Family New Year Charter– Truly First Class!

Richard, Audrey & Donald,

WHAT a trip!  We had such a blast out on the Nenne, certainly no something this group will forget.  Audrey, OMG your food – let me know as soon as you release a cookbook.  Despite all the healthy options, I’ve eaten enough of everything to put on 10 lbs.  Donald – your jokes are almost as good (read:bad) as Bruce’s…kept us laughing the whole trip.  And Richard, amazing drinks/hospitality/literally everything else required on the boat. Plus, what a phenomenal G-Easy rap star quality.  I hope we can come back and sail again with you three soon!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I came aboard with fears of claustrophobia and boredom.  Boy, was I wrong!!  Thank you for pampering me in ways I could not imagine and for teaching me to slow down and relax again!  This has been the vacation to top all the others!  The food has been incredible,and each meal anticipated with joy. Audrey, you are amazing!  Donald,you are an amazing captain and all-around jokester/host!  Thank you for all the humor and fun.  Richard, you are such a great bar tender and non-stop host!  Thank you for all the kindness and smiles.  It’s been memorable, can’t wait to come back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We had the best time on our first week long sail.  We will be back for sure!  Every meal was amazing, drinks were always flowing and activities a plenty.  We will absolutely be back for another amazing adventure!

P.S.  I would LOVE any recipes you are willing to share.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has been one of the best weeks I have had and I owe it to you guys!  Your knowledge of this part of the world has made me so envious. Audrey, I appreciate your cooking me separate meals every day. I love every one!
